[Docket No. USCG-2007-0179]
RIN 1625-AA08
Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in the Seventh
Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is creating special local regulations to
regulate recurring marine events in the Seventh Coast Guard District.
These regulations will apply to all permitted events listed on the
table attached to the regulation, and include events such as regattas,
parades, and fireworks displays. These regulations are being created to
reduce the Coast Guard's administrative workload and expedite public
notification of events.
DATES: This rule is effective 30 days after publication in the Federal
Register.
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 [USCG-2007-0179] and are available for inspection or
copying at the Brickell Plaza Federal Building, Miami, FL, between 8
a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On November 13, 2007, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in
the Seventh Coast Guard District Federal Register (72 FR 63839) under
Docket No. CGD07-07-102. We received no letters in the mail commenting
on the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested, and none was
held.
Background and Purpose
Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within
the boundary of the Seventh Coast Guard District. These include events
such as sailing regattas, holiday parades, and fireworks displays.
Currently, there are over 250 annually recurring marine events and many
other non-recurring events within the district. In the past, the Coast
Guard regulated these events by creating individual special local
regulations on a case by case basis. Most of these events required only
the establishment of a regulated area and assignment of a patrol
commander to ensure safety. Issuing individual, annual special local
regulations has created a significant administrative burden on the
Coast Guard. In 2005, the Coast Guard created over 60 temporary
regulations for recurring marine events in the Seventh District. That
number rose to over 110 in 2006 and over 160 in 2007.
Additionally, for the majority of these events, the Coast Guard
does not receive notification of the event or important details of the
event are not finalized by event organizers with sufficient time to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking and final rule before the event
date. The Coast Guard must therefore create temporary final rules that
sometimes are not completed until a few days before the event. This
results in delayed notification to the public, potentially placing the
public and event participants at risk.
This rule will significantly relieve the administrative burden on
the Coast Guard, and at the same time allow the sponsor of the event
and the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a timely
manner. The public will be provided with notice of events through the
table attached to this regulation. This table lists each recurring
event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and indicates the
sponsor, as well as the date and location of the event. Because the
dates and location of these events may change slightly from year to
year, the specific information on each event, including the exact
dates, specific areas, and description of the regulated area, will be
provided to the public through a Local Notice to Mariners published
before the event, as well as through Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This
table will be updated by the Coast Guard periodically to add new
recurring events, remove events that no longer occur, and update listed
events to ensure accurate information is provided.
Discussion Comments and Change
No comments were received. However, slight changes were made to
proposed events to clarify dates and sponsors. In the Captain of the
Port Zone Key West the date for Marathon Super Boat Grand Prix was
updated to the 3rd Weekend of May (FRI-SUN). The date for the FKCC Swim
around Key West was updated to the 3rd Saturday in June. These changes
were made to add information to the events for increased public
knowledge.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, 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.
We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered 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.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the areas where marine events are
being held. This proposed regulation will not
[[Page 4460]]
have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities
because it will only be enforced on marine events that have been
permitted by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port. The Captain of the
Port will ensure that small entities are able to operate in the areas
where events are occurring. Additionally, in most cases, vessels will
be able to safely transit around the regulated area at all times, and,
with the permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels may transit
through the regulated area.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would 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 would 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 offered to assist small
entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule
would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy
or action of the Coast Guard.
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
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule does not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This 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 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 rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This 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 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. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD
which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that there are no factors in this
case that would limit the use of a categorical exclusion under section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, we believe that this rule should
be categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the
Instruction, from further environmental documentation. This rule fits
the category of paragraph 34(h) because it creates special local
regulations for regattas and marine parades.
Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' is not required for this rule.
Comments on this section will be considered before we make the final
decision on whether to categorically exclude this rule from further
environmental review.

(c) Special Local Regulations. (1) The Coast Guard Patrol Commander
may forbid and control the movement of all vessels in the regulated
area(s). When hailed or signaled by an official patrol vessel, a vessel
in these areas shall immediately comply with the directions given.
Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for
failure to comply, or both.
(2) The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may terminate the event, or
the operation of any vessel participating in the event, at any time it
is deemed necessary for the protection of life or property.
(3) Only event sponsor designated participants and official patrol
vessels are allowed to enter the regulated area.
(4) Spectators are only allowed inside the regulated area if they
remain within a designated spectator area. Spectators may contact the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander to request permission to pass through the
regulated area. If permission is granted, spectators must pass directly
through the regulated area at safe speed and without loitering.
