RIN 2115-AA97


Safety Zone; Long Island Sound, Thames River, Great South Bay, 
Shinnecock Bay, Connecticut River and the Atlantic Ocean Annual 
Fireworks Displays

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish 17 permanent safety 
zones for fireworks displays located on or in Long Island Sound, the 
Atlantic Ocean, the Thames River, Great South Bay, Shinnecock Bay and 
the Connecticut River. This action is necessary to provide for the 
safety of life on

[[Page 41171]]

navigable waters during the events. This action establishes permanent 
exclusion areas that are only active shortly prior to the start of the 
fireworks display until shortly after the fireworks display is 
completed, and it is intended to restrict vessel traffic in a small 
portion of the affected waterways.

DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or 
before October 9, 2001.

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments and related material to U.S. Coast 
Guard Group/MSO Long Island Sound, 120 Woodward Ave, New Haven, 
Connecticut 06512. The Command Center maintains the public docket 
(CGD01-01-077) for this rulemaking. Comments and material received from 
the public, as well as documents indicated in this preamble as being 
available in the docket, will become part of this docket and will be 
available for inspection or copying at the Command Center, Coast Guard 
Group/MSO Long Island Sound, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chief Chris Stubblefield, Marine 
Safety Office Supervisor, Coast Guard Group/MSO Long Island Sound,

rulemaking, we will hold one at a time and place announced by a later 
notice in the Federal Register.

Background and Purpose

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish 17 permanent safety zones 
that will be activated for fireworks displays that normally occur on an 
annual basis and are normally held in one of the following 17 
locations: on the Connecticut River off of Old Saybrook, CT; on the 
Connecticut River off Hartford, CT; in Greenwich Harbor on Long Island 
Sound, CT; in Long Island Sound off Madison, CT; in Long Island Sound 
off Rowayton, CT; in New Haven Harbor on Long Island Sound, CT; in Long 
Island Sound off Groton Long Point in Groton, CT; in Cold Springs 
Harbor on Long Island Sound, NY; in Shinnecock Bay off Southampton, NY; 
in Great South Bay off Davis Park, NY; in Great South Bay off 
Patchogue, NY; in Great South Bay off Cherry Cove, NY; and in the 
Atlantic Ocean off Sagaponack, NY. By establishing permanent safety 
zones, the Coast Guard will eliminate the need to establish temporary 
rules annually. The Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones for 
fireworks displays at all of these 17 areas in the past and has 
received no public comments or concerns on the impact to waterway 
traffic from these annually recurring zones.
    While this proposed regulation would prevent vessels from 
transiting areas made hazardous from the launching of fireworks, the 
proposed safety zone would not prevent vessels from transiting effected 
bodies of waters by simply transiting around the proposed safety zones. 
Additionally, vessels would not be precluded from mooring at or getting 
underway from commercial or recreational piers in the vicinity of any 
of the 17 proposed safety zones.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to add a new section to 33 CFR part 165, 
which would include these 17 new safety zones for fireworks displays 
that occur on a regular basis in the same locations. The sizes of these 
safety zones were determined using Captain of the Port Long Island 
Sound local policy for each fireworks displays (100 feet distance per 
inch of diameter of the mortars), combined with the Coast Guard's 
knowledge of tide and current conditions in these areas. Proposed barge 
locations and mortar sizes were determined to ensure the proposed 
safety zone locations would not interfere with any known marinas or 
piers. The 17 proposed safety zones, divided into their respective 
bodies of water, are described below. All coordinates reference 1983 
North American Datum (NAD 83).

Connecticut River

    There are three proposed safety zones for the Connecticut River. 
The proposed safety zone for the annual Arnold L. Chase fireworks 
display encompasses all waters of the Connecticut River within a 600 
foot radius of the fireworks barge in approximate position 
41 deg.15'56"N, 072 deg.21'49"W, located off Fenwick Pier, Old 
Saybrook, CT. The proposed safety zone for the annual Saybrook Summer 
Pops fireworks display encompasses all waters of Connecticut River 
within a 600 foot radius of the fireworks barge located in approximate 
position 41 deg.17'35"N, 072 deg.21'20"W, located north of the dock on 
Saybrook Point, Old Saybrook, CT. The proposed safety zone for the

41 deg.21'01"N, 072 deg.05'25"W, barge two, 41 deg.20'58"N, 
072 deg.05'23"W, barge three, 41 deg.20'53"N, 072 deg.05'21"W, located 
off New London, CT. The proposed safety zone for the annual Harbor Day 
Fireworks display encompasses all waters of the Thames River within a 
600 foot radius of the fireworks barge in approximate position 
41 deg.31'14"N, 072 deg.04'44"W, located off the marina at the American 
Warf, Norwich, CT.

Long Island Sound

    There are seven proposed safety zones for Long Island Sound. The

Southampton, NY within a 600 foot radius of the fireworks barge located 
in approximate position 40 deg.51'48"N, 072 deg.28'30"W.

Great South Bay (Off Long Island, NY)

    The proposed safety zone for the annual T.E.L. Enterprises

within a 1200 foot radius of the fireworks barge located in approximate 
position 40 deg.54'04" N, 072 deg.16'50" W.

Schedule

    The Coast Guard does not know the specific annually recurring dates 
of these fireworks display safety zones. Coast Guard Group/MSO Long 
Island Sound or Coast Guard Group Moriches will give notice of the 
activation of each safety zone by all appropriate means to provide the 
widest publicity among the affected segments of the public. This will 
include publication in the Local Notice to Mariners. Marine information 
and facsimile broadcasts may also be made for these events, beginning 
12 to 24 hours before the event is scheduled to begin, to notify the 
public. The Coast Guard expects that this wide notice of the activation 
of each permanent safety zone detailed in this rulemaking will normally 
be made between 30 and 45 days before the zone is actually activated. 
Fireworks barges used in the locations stated in this rulemaking will 
also have a sign on their port and starboard side labeled ``FIREWORKS--
STAY AWAY''. This will provide on-scene notice that the safety zone the 
fireworks barge is located in will be activated on that day. This sign 
will consist of 10'' high by 1.5'' wide red lettering on a white 
background. Displays launched from shore sites have a sign labeled 
``FIREWORKS--STAY AWAY'' with the same size requirements. There will 
also be a Coast Guard patrol vessel, if deemed necessary by the Captain 
of the Port, on scene 30 minutes before the display is scheduled to 
start until 15 minutes after its completion to enforce each safety 
zone.
    The effective period for each proposed safety zone is from 8 p.m. 
to 11 p.m. (e.s.t.). However, vessels may enter, remain in, or transit 
through these safety zones during this time frame if authorized by the 
Captain of the Port Long Island Sound, or designated Coast Guard patrol 
personnel on scene, as provided for in 33 CFR 165.23. Generally, 
blanket permission to enter, remain in, or transit through these safety 
zones will be given except for the 45-minute period that a Coast Guard 
patrol vessel is present. These proposed safety zones would not create 
a significant economic impact on marine traffic due to the following: 
the minimal time that vessels will be restricted from the zones, all of 
the zones are in areas where the Coast Guard expects insignificant 
adverse impact on all mariners, all of the displays take place at 
night, and the Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones for fireworks 
displays at all 17 areas in the past and we have not received notice of 
any negative impact caused by any of the safety zones. Additionally, 
marine traffic can plan transits through these areas around the time 
the safety zones are in effect.
    This rule is being proposed to provide for the safety of life on 
navigable waters during the events and to facilitate the opportunity 
for the public to comment on the proposed zones, and to decrease the 
amount of required annual paperwork.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This proposed 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 policies 
and procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040, 
February 26, 1979).
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so 
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the 
regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is unnecessary.
    This finding is based on the minimal time that vessels will be 
restricted from the zones. Vessels may also still transit through these 
zones except for the 45 minute period that a Coast Guard Patrol vessel 
is present and all of the zones are in areas where the Coast Guard 
expects insignificant adverse impact on all mariners from the zones' 
activation. All of the displays take place late at night. The Coast 
Guard has promulgated safety zones for fireworks displays at all 17 
areas in the past and we have not received notice of any negative 
impact caused by any of the safety zones. Additionally, marine traffic 
can plan their transits through these areas around the time the safety 
zones are in effect. Advance notifications will also be made to the 
local maritime community by the Local Notice to Mariners. Marine 
information and facsimile broadcasts may also be made.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we 
considered whether this proposed 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

[[Page 41173]]

governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities.
    This proposed rule will affect the following entities, some of 
which might be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels 
intending to transit or anchor in a portion of the Connecticut River, 
Thames River, Shinnecock Bay, Great South Bay, Long Island Sound and 
the Atlantic Ocean during the times these zones are activated.
    These safety zones will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: Vessel 
traffic can transit around all 17 safety zones. Vessels will not be 
precluded from getting underway, or mooring at, any piers or marinas 
currently located in the vicinity of the proposed safety zones. Before 
the effective period, we will issue maritime advisories widely 
available to users of Long Island Sound, the Connecticut and Thames 
River, Great South Bay, Shinnecock Bay, the Atlantic Ocean and of 
Connecticut/New York by local notice to mariners. Marine information 
and facsimile broadcasts may also be made.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental 
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule will have a 
significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see 
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what 
degree this rule will economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small 
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better 
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the 
rule will affect your small business, organization, or governmental 
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or 
options for compliance, please contact Chief Petty Officer Chris 
Stubblefield, in the Command Center at Coast Guard Group/Marine Safety 
Office Long Island Sound, CT, at (203) 468-4444.

Collection of Information

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

Federalism

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13132 and 
have 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's having first provided the funds to pay 
those costs. This proposed rule will not impose an unfunded mandate.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule will not effect a taking of private property or 
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, 
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected 
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

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

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, 
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks. 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.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under 
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal 
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on 
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal 
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211, 
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant 
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to 
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use 
of energy. It has not been designated by the Administrator of the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy 
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects 
under Executive Order 13211.

Environment

    We considered the environmental impact of this proposed rule and 
concluded that, under figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g), of Commandant 
Instruction M16475.1C, this proposed rule is categorically excluded 
from further environmental documentation. This proposed rule fits 
paragraph 34(g) as it establishes 17 safety zones. A ``Categorical 
Exclusion Determination'' is available in the docket where indicated 
under ADDRESSES.
