Background and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within 
the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. For a description of 
the geographical area of each Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port 
Zone, please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    This regulation currently includes events such as sailing regattas, 
power boat races, swim races and holiday parades. Currently, there are 
over 60 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. From 2005 to 2007 
the Coast Guard created over 100 temporary regulations for marine 
events in the Fifth District. The numbers are expected to rise in 2008 
with the growing popularity of water sports activities.
    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

[[Page 12670]]

temporary final rules that sometimes are not completed until only days 
before the event. This results in delayed notification to the public, 
potentially placing the public and event participants at risk.
    This proposed rule would 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 would 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 locations 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, would 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 would also 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 of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule would apply to each event listed in the attached 
table to this rule. Events listed in the table are events that recur 
annually in the Fifth Coast Guard District. The table provides the 
event name and sponsor, as well as an approximate date and location of 
the event. The specific date and regulated area for each event would be 
provided in a Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners 
prior to each event. Some events listed in the table currently have 
permanent regulations published in 33 CFR part 100, and these 
regulations would be removed because they no longer occur regularly.
    For each event listed in the table, an event patrol, with a Patrol 
Commander in charge, may be assigned. The Patrol Commander may 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 would be 
required to immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do 
so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to 
comply, or both. 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.
    Only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol 
vessels would be allowed to enter a regulated area. All persons and 
vessels not registered with the event sponsor as participants or 
official patrol vessels are considered spectators. Spectators may not 
enter the regulated area and may be confined to a designated spectator 
area to view the event. Spectators may contact the Coast Guard Patrol 
Commander to request permission to pass through the regulated area. If 
permission is granted, spectators would be required to pass directly 
through the regulated area at safe speed and without loitering.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This proposed 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 proposed rule to be so 
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. The effect of 
this proposed action merely establishes the dates on which the existing 
regulations would be enforced and consolidates them within one 
regulation. It would not impose any additional restrictions on vessel 
traffic.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
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 governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed 
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. This proposed 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 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 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 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 proposed rule would call 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 proposed 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 proposed rule would not result in such an 
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this 
preamble.

[[Page 12671]]

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would 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 would not 
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might 
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. 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we 
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 this action is not likely to 
have a significant effect on the human environment. We believe that 
this rule should be categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph 
(34)(h), of the Instruction, from further environmental documentation. 
This proposed rule fits the category of paragraph 34(h) because it 
proposes to create special local regulations for regattas and marine 
parades.
    We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery 
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
