Temporary Regulations: Sail Boston 2000, Port of Boston, MA.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing temporary regulations, 
including regulated areas, safety and security zones, and spectator 
anchorages before, during, and after Sail Boston 2000 events in the 
Port of Boston, Massachusetts, between July 10-16, 2000. These 
regulations are necessary to promote the safe navigation of vessels and 
the safety of life and property during the heavy volume of vessel 
traffic expected during the events.

DATES: This rule is effective from July 10, 2000 until July 16, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as 
documents, indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket, 
are part of docket CGD01-99-191 and are available for inspection and 
copying at the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Boston, 455 Commercial 
Street, Boston, MA 02109 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through 
Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Brian J. Downey, Marine 
Safety Office Boston, Waterways Management Division, (617) 223-3006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On March 15, 2000, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed

[[Page 37855]]

rulemaking (NPRM) entitled Temporary Regulations: Sail Boston 2000, 
Port of Boston, MA in the Federal Register Volume 65, Page 13926. The 
Coast Guard received two letters commenting on the proposed rule. No 
public hearing was requested, and none was held. Comments received have 
resulted in modification of the final rule; therefore, under 5 U.S.C. 
553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds good cause for making this rule 
effective in less than 30 days.
    On March 9, 2000 the Captain of the Port, Boston hosted a meeting 
for small passenger vessel operators to detail the scope and content of 
the marine events and proposed regulations. The meeting yielded no 
comments.

Background and Purpose

    The temporary regulations are for Sail Boston 2000 events held in 
Boston Harbor. These events are from July 10 through 16, 2000. This 
rule provides for the safety of life on navigable waters and to protect 
U.S. Navy vessels, tall ships, spectators, and the Port of Boston 
during these events. At the time of this Final rule, Sail Boston 2000 
events include the following:
    1. July 10-11: Tall Ship Rally.
    2. July 11: Grand Parade of Sail.
    4. July 11-16: Safety and Security Zones.
    5. July 11-16: USS JOHN F. KENNEDY and Support Vessel Visits.
    6. July 12-15: Public Boarding of Tall Ships.
    7. July 15: Boston 2000 Fireworks Extravaganza.
    8. July 16: Salute to USS CONSTITUTION Parade.
    9. July 16: Tall Ships 2000 Race Restart.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard received one telephonic comment regarding a slight 
coordinate inaccuracy in 33 CFR 110.T01-135-191(6) describing Spectator 
Anchorage B. The error was verified and corrected to properly reflect 
the anchorage boundary and has no regulatory effect. Moreover, 
additional coordinates were included for regulation locations 
throughout this Final rule. The coordinates are intended to clarify 
locations described in the Final rule and do not change its regulatory 
impact.
    The Coast Guard received a written comment regarding marine 
sanitation pumpout boats. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is 
promoting the use of pumpout boats among spectator craft to reduce 
potential sewage discharge in state waters. The comment suggested 
pumpout boats should be permitted to move freely among the spectator 
anchorages during the various marine events to remove spectator craft 
sewage. Further, the pumpout boats intend to provide no cost service to 
the attending boating public during the marine events. The suggestion 
conflicts with the restrictions imposed as temporary regulations 
hereunder in amendments to 33 CFR parts 100 and 110. However, the 
pumpout boats will proactively advance the Coast Guard's and 
Massachusetts' pollution prevention policies. The Coast Guard decided 
to alter 33 CFR 100.T01-191(9) and 33 CFR 110.T01-135-191(b)(xii) to 
permit pumpout boats limited access to move within specific spectator 
anchorages. The regulation does not permit pumpout boats to cross any 
main channels or intended tall ship parade routes during the effective 
periods.
    The Coast Guard received another comment requesting non-
participating tall ships to be permitted into safety zones during 
effective periods. The temporary safety zones are specifically and 
clearly designed to facilitate participating vessels only. 
Participating vessels are represented by the event sponsor who is the 
Coast Guard Marine Event Permit applicant. As part of the marine event 
permit, the Coast Guard requires the event sponsor to satisfy various 
safety, pollution prevention, and vessel traffic requirements before 
the event permit is issued. Should non-participating vessels enter the 
safety zones, it will cause confusion and diminish safety, as the 
Masters will not be apprised of special operating instructions. The 
Coast Guard has not amended regulations in response to this comment. 
The same comment also suggested Spectator Anchorage G to be exclusively 
used by tall ships which choose not to use berthing. The regulations 
were not changed in response to this comment because Spectator 
Anchorage G already permits use by any vessel which is authorized by 
the Captain of the Port, which includes tall ships which choose not to 
use berthing.
    The Coast Guard also received a comment regarding the USS JOHN F. 
KENNEDY'S security zone detailed in 33 CFR 165.TO1-195. The comment 
suggested there is little need for the security zone to extend 
continuously from July 10, 2000 through July 16, 2000. The Coast Guard 
has decided to leave the defined security zone boundary in 33 CFR 
165.TO1-195(a), however, the Captain of the Port will broadcast times 
when mariners will be allowed to pass through the security zone. Times 
when mariners can pass through the security zone will be announced via 
Coast Guard Safety Marine Information Broadcasts on VHF radio using 
channels 13 and 16. Announcements will start at least one hour prior to 
when mariners will be permitted in the zone, and will continue for the 
period the Captain of the Port permits transit through the zone.
    The Coast Guard also changed the introductory note in Sec. 110.155 
to emphasize the mariners' need to exercise caution while using the 
temporarily designated spectator anchorages for Sail Boston 2000. While 
the Coast Guard is not aware of any safety problems associated with 
these temporary spectator anchorages, the Coast Guard makes no 
assurances of the holding power of each area nor that the bottoms are 
free from obstructions. Mariners are advised to take appropriate 
precautions including using all means available to ensure their vessels 
are not dragging anchor. Verbal discussion at an April 24, 2000 Marine 
Safety Office Boston Waterways Management meeting suggested an 
alternate arrangement for spectator Anchorages K and L found in 33 CFR 
110.T01-135-191(a)(14) and (15). To better accommodate Parade of Sail 
viewing from a Disabled American Veterans' site on Long Island, the 
Coast Guard has switched Spectator Anchorages K and L functions on July 
10-11, 2000. On July 10-11, 2000 Spectator Anchorage L will be a 
special use anchorage. On July 10-11, 2000 Spectator Anchorage K will 
accommodate inspected small passenger vessels. On July 15-16, 2000 
Spectator Anchorage K will be a special use anchorage as originally 
planned. On July 15-16, 2000 Spectator Anchorage L will accommodate 
inspected small passenger vessels as originally planned. The partial 
anchorage switch improves viewing for the disabled without affecting 
safety. This change from the NPRM does not alter the regulatory effect 
of this final rule since the boundaries of the anchorages remain the 
same, and spectator areas for inspected small passenger vessels 
continue to be provided.

Regulated Areas

    Regulated Area A covers all waters of Broad Sound and Boston Outer 
Harbor bounded by lines drawn along the coordinates 070 deg.52'00" W, 
070 deg.57'13" W, 42 deg.17'30" N, and 42 deg.24'42" N including the 
following waterways: Nahant Bay, Broad Sound, Boston North Channel, 
Boston South Channel, Nubble Channel, Hull Bay, and Nantasket Roads. 
The area also includes all temporary spectator anchorages established 
in 33 CFR 110.T01-135-191. Regulated Area A is applicable

[[Page 37856]]

from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on July 11, 2000 and 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on 
July 16, 2000.
    Regulated Area B covers all waters of Boston Inner Harbor westward 
from a line drawn between Deer Island at position 42 deg.20'38" N, 
070 deg.57'13" W and Long Island at position 42 deg.19'51" N, 
070 deg.57'13" W including President Roads, Sculpin Ledge Channel, 
Dorchester Bay, Western Way, the Boston Main Channel, the Reserved 
Channel to the Summer Street retractile bridge, the Fort Point Channel 
to the Congress Street Bridge, the Charles River to the Gridley Locks 
at the Charles River Dam, the Mystic River to the Alford Street Bridge, 
and the Chelsea River to the McArdle Bridge. The area also includes all 
temporary spectator anchorages established in 33 CFR 110.T01-135-191. 
Regulated Area B is applicable from 8 a.m. on July 11, 2000 until 6 
p.m. on July 16, 2000.
    Regulated Area C is an Emergency Transit Lane from Boston Main 
Channel Light ``5'' to Charlestown Navy Yard Pier ``1'' extending fifty 
(50) yards into the outbound lane of the Boston Main Channel. The lane 
allows unlimited access to emergency and law enforcement vessels. The 
emergency lane restriction imposed by Regulated Area C are applicable 
from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on July 11, 2000 and from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. 
July 16, 2000.

Anchorage Regulations

    The Coast Guard has established temporary anchorage regulations for 
participating Sail Boston 2000 ships and spectator craft. 33 CFR 
110.134 is temporarily suspended by this regulation and new spectator 
anchorages and regulations are temporarily established.
    The anchorage regulations temporarily establish spectator 
anchorages for spectator craft or Sail Boston 2000 participant vessel 
use only. They restrict all other vessels from using these spectator 
anchorages during Sail Boston 2000 events. The applicable dates for the 
temporary spectator anchorages are July 10 and 11, 2000 and July 15 and 
16, 2000.

Security Zone

    A security zone protecting the moored U.S. naval aircraft carrier 
USS JOHN F. KENNEDY is effective from July 10, 2000 until July 16, 2000 
around Boston Inner Harbor's North Jetty, in South Boston. All safety 
and security zones will be easily identifiable by patrolling Coast 
Guard and law enforcement craft.

Safety Zones

    On July 11, 2000 from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. a three hundred (300) 
yard moving safety zone around participating tall ships is imposed for 
Broad Sound and Boston Harbor. The safety zone will ensure the safety 
of participating tall ships and spectator craft during the Grand Parade 
of Sail. On July 15, 2000 a four hundred (400) yard safety zone 
surrounding fireworks barges in Boston Inner Harbor is imposed from 8 
p.m. until 11 p.m. The safety zone will ensure the safety of spectator 
craft during the scheduled fireworks displays. From 8 a.m. until 6 p.m 
July 16, 2000, a three hundred (300) yard moving safety zone around 
each participating tall ship is effective for Boston Harbor and Broad 
Sound. The safety zone will ensure the safety of participating tall 
ships and spectator craft during the Salute to the USS CONSTITUTION 
Parade. On July 16, 2000 a three (3) square mile safety zone is in 
effect for Massachusetts Bay off of Nahant from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. 
This three (3) square mile area will serve as the staging area for the 
Tall Ships 2000 Race Restart. The safety zone will ensure the safety of 
participating tall ships and spectator craft during the Tall Ships 2000 
Race Restart. A three hundred (300) yard moving safety zone around each 
participating tall ship is also in effect for the Tall Ships 2000 Race 
Restart as each proceeds from its respective berth to the staging area 
on July 16, 2000. For more navigational chart information regarding 
this safety zone, see ADDRESSES.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of Executive Order 12866 and does not require an assessment of 
potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The 
Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. 
It is not significant under the regulatory policy and procedures of the 
Department of Transportation (DOT)(44 FR 11040, February 26, 1979). The 
economic impact of this rule is expected to be so minimal that a full 
Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies 
and procedures of DOT is unnecessary.
    Although these regulations impose traffic restrictions in portions 
of Boston Harbor during the events, the effect of the regulations are 
not significant for the following reasons: The regulated areas, 
spectator anchorages, and safety and security zones are limited in 
duration; and extensive advance notice was made to the maritime 
community via Local Notice to Mariners, facsimile, marine safety 
information broadcasts, local Port Operators' Group meetings, Propeller 
Club meetings, the Internet, and Boston area newspapers and media. 
Also, on March 9 the Captain of the Port, Boston hosted a meeting of 
small passenger vessel operators to detail the scope and content of the 
marine events and proposed regulations. The advance notice permits 
mariners to adjust their plans accordingly. Additionally, these 
regulated areas are tailored to impose the least impact on maritime 
interests without compromising safety.
    Similar regulated areas and safety and security zones were 
established for Sail Boston 1992 events. Based upon the Coast Guard's 
experiences from that previous event of similar magnitude, these 
regulations have been narrowly tailored to impose the least impact on 
maritime interests yet provide the necessary level of safety.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), an initial 
review was conducted to determine whether this rule would have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
The term ``small entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit 
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not 
dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with 
populations of less than 50,000.
    For the reasons stated in the Regulatory Evaluation section above, 
the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule does not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    This rule affects the following entities, some of which might be 
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit 
or anchor in portions of Broad Sound and Boston Inner and Outer Harbors 
during various times from July 10 until 16, 2000. These regulations do 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities because the Coast Guard notified the public via mailings, 
facsimiles, Local Notice to Mariners, marine safety information 
broadcasts, local Port Operators' Group meetings, Propeller Club 
meetings, the media, the Internet, and Boston area newspapers. Also, on 
March 9, 2000 the Captain of the Port, Boston hosted a meeting of small 
passenger vessel operators to detail the scope and content of the 
marine events and proposed regulations. In addition, the sponsoring 
organization, Sail Boston 2000, Inc., announced event information in 
local newspapers, pamphlets, and television and radio broadcasts. The 
advance notice permitted mariners to adjust their plans accordingly. 
Although these regulations apply to a substantial

[[Page 37857]]

portion of the Port of Boston, areas for viewing the Parade of Sail, 
Boston 2000 Fireworks Extravaganza, Salute to USS CONSTITUTION, and 
Tall Ships 2000 Race Restart are established to maximize the use of the 
waterways by commercial vessels that usually operate in the affected 
areas.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), the Coast Guard offered to 
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they can better 
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking.
    Assistance was offered at various public forums including Port 
Operators' Group meetings, Propeller Club meetings, Maritime Incident 
Resources and Training drills and meetings, and brochure distribution. 
In addition, information including the preceding NPRM, was posted on 
Marine Safety Office Boston's Web Page. Moreover, the Coast Guard 
hosted an informational meeting on March 9, 2000 to thoroughly explain 
the rule to local small passenger vessel operators.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal 
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with Federal 
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory 
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory 
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and 
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to 
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR 
(1-888-734-3247).

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    An analysis of this rule under E.O. 13132 has determined that this 
rule does not have implications for federalism under that order.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) 
governs the issuance of Federal regulations that require unfunded 
mandates. An unfunded mandate is a regulation that requires a State, 
local or tribal government or the private sector to incur direct costs 
without the Federal Government having first provided the funds to pay 
those costs. This rule does not impose an unfunded mandate.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule does not effect a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under E.O. 12630, Governmental Actions and 
Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) 
of E.O. 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate 
ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    An analysis of this rule under E.O. 13045, Protection of Children 
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks has determined that 
this rule is not an economically significant rule and does not concern 
an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may 
disproportionately affect children.

Environment

    The Coast Guard considered the environmental impact of this rule 
and concluded that, under figure 2-1, paragraphs 34 (f, g, and h) of 
Commandant Instruction M16475.1C, this rule is categorically excluded 
from further environmental documentation. A written ``Categorical 
Exclusion Determination'' is available in the docket where indicated 
under ADDRESSES.

follows:


Sec. 110.T01-135-191  Boston Harbor, Mass.

    Note:  Caution: The designated spectator anchorages in this 
section have not been specially surveyed or inspected and 
navigational charts may not show all seabed obstructions or 
shallowest depths. Additionally, the anchorages are in areas of 
substantial currents. Mariners who use these temporary anchorages 
should take appropriate precautions including using all means 
available to ensure your vessel is not dragging anchor.

    (a) The anchorages. All anchorages in this paragraph are applicable 
as specified. Vessel operators using the anchorages in this paragraph 
must comply with the general operational requirements specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section. All coordinates are NAD 1983.
