SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On March 25, 2009, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) entitled Special Local Regulation for Marine Events; Temporary 
Change of Dates for Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth Coast Guard 
District in the Federal Register (74 FR 12769). We received no comments 
on the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested, and none was 
held.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause 
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register. The necessary information 
regarding change of dates for these

[[Page 22096]]

annual recurring marine events were not provided to the Coast Guard in 
sufficient time. The potential dangers posed by high speed power boat 
races conducted on the waterways with other vessel traffic makes 
special local regulations necessary. Delaying the effective date would 
be contrary to the public interest, since immediate action is needed to 
ensure the safety of the event participants, support vessels, spectator 
craft and other vessels transiting the event area. However, advance 
notifications will be made to users of the affected waterways via 
marine information broadcasts, local notice to mariners, commercial 
radio stations and area newspapers.

Background and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within 
the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. The on-water activities 
that typically comprise marine events include sailing regattas, power 
boat races, swim races and holiday parades. For a description of the 
geographical area of each Coast Guard Sector Marine Inspection Zone and 
Captain of the Port Zone, please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    This regulation proposes to temporarily change the enforcement 
period of special local regulations for recurring marine events within 
the Fifth Coast Guard District. This proposed regulation applies to 
five marine events in 33 CFR 100.501, Table to Sec.  100.501.
    Annually, the District of Columbia Aquatics Club sponsors the 
``Maryland Swim for Life'', on the waters of the Chester River near 
Chestertown, MD. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is effective annually 
for the Maryland Swim for Life marine event. The event is an open water 
swimming competition held on the waters of the Chester River, near 
Chestertown, Maryland. Approximately 150 swimmers will start from 
Rolph's Wharf and swim up-river 2.5 miles then swim down-river 
returning back to Rolph's Wharf. A large fleet of support vessels 
accompanies the swimmers. Therefore, to ensure the safety of 
participants and support vessels, 33 CFR 100.501 would be enforced for 
the duration of the event. This temporary final rule changes the period 
of enforcement for this event from the third Saturday in June or July 
to 5:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. on July 11, 2009. During that period, 
vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they receive permission 
from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Vessel traffic may be allowed to 
transit the regulated area only when the Patrol Commander determines it 
is safe to do so.
    On June 6, 2009, the Rappahannock River Boaters Association (RRBA) 
will sponsor the ``2009 RRBA Spring Radar Shootout'', on the waters of 
the Rappahannock River near Layton, Virginia. The regulation at 33 CFR 
100.501 is effective annually for this river boat race marine event. 
The event consists of approximately 35 powerboats participating in 
high-speed competitive races, traveling along a 3-mile straight line 
race course. Participating boats race individually within the 
designated course. A fleet of spectator vessels is anticipated to 
gather nearby to view the competition. Due to the need for vessel 
control during the event, vessel traffic will be temporarily restricted 
to provide for the safety of participants, spectators and transiting 
vessels. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 would be enforced for the 
duration of the event. This temporary final rule changes the period of 
enforcement for this event from the last Saturday in June to 12 p.m. 
until 5 p.m. on June 6, 2009, or rain date June 7, 2009. During that 
period, vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they receive 
permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander.
    Norfolk Festevents Ltd., Norfolk, VA, sponsors the annual ``Norfolk 
Harborfest Celebration'', on the waters of the Elizabeth River between 
Norfolk and Portsmouth, VA. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is 
effective annually for Norfolk Harborfest marine event. This annual 
celebration of Norfolk Harbor consists of a variety of on the water 
activities that include an Opening Ceremony--Parade of Sail; jet ski, 
water ski, wake board demonstrations; Fire boat demonstrations; Lazy 
Lizzie Anything That Floats Parade and Race; Dinghy Parade; Search and 
Rescue demonstrations by USCG & USN; and Quick and Dirty Boat Race. 
Evening fireworks displays will be fired from barges on the Elizabeth 
River as part of the Harborfest celebration. A large fleet of spectator 
vessels is anticipated to view the Harborfest activities. Therefore, to 
ensure the safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels, 
33 CFR 100.501 would be enforced for the duration of the event. This 
temporary final rule changes the period of enforcement for this event 
from the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday in June to 9 a.m. on July 3, 
2009 until 11 p.m. on July 5, 2009. During that period, vessels may not 
enter the regulated area unless they receive permission from the Coast 
Guard Patrol Commander. Vessel traffic will be allowed to transit the 
regulated area between the water events, when the Patrol Commander 
determines it is safe to do so.
    The Offshore Performance Association (OPA) Racing LLC annually 
sponsors the ``Offshore Grand Prix'', on the waters of the North 
Atlantic Ocean near Ocean City, MD. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is 
effective annually for the Ocean City offshore race marine event. The 
event is conducted on the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean along the 
shoreline near Ocean City, MD. The event consists of approximately 50 
V-hull and twin-hull inboard hydroplanes racing in heats counter-
clockwise around an oval race course. A fleet of spectator vessels is 
anticipated to gather nearby to view the competition. Therefore, to 
ensure the safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels, 
33 CFR 100.501 would be enforced for the duration of the event. This 
temporary final rule changes the period of enforcement for this event 
from the first Friday and Saturday in June to 10 a.m. on May 30, 2009 
until 5 p.m. on May 31, 2009. During that period, vessels may not enter 
the regulated area unless they receive permission from the Coast Guard 
Patrol Commander. Due to the need for vessel control during the event, 
vessel traffic will be temporarily restricted to provide for the safety 
of participants, spectators and transiting vessels.
    The Carolina Cup Regatta, Inc. annually sponsors a power boat race 
on the waters of the Pasquotank River near Elizabeth City, NC. The 
regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is effective annually for this power boat 
race marine event. The event consists of approximately 25 inboard 
hydroplanes racing in counter clockwise heats around an oval race 
course. A fleet of spectator vessels is anticipated to gather nearby to 
view the competition. Therefore, to ensure the safety of participants, 
spectators and transiting vessels, 33 CFR 100.501 will be enforced for 
the duration of the event. This temporary final rule changes the period 
of enforcement for this event from the second Saturday and Sunday in 
June to 9 a.m. on May 16, 2009 until 5 p.m. on May 17, 2009. During 
that period, vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they 
receive permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Due to the 
need for vessel control during the event, vessel traffic will be 
temporarily restricted to provide for the safety of participants, 
spectators and transiting vessels.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard did not receive comments in response to the notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published

[[Page 22097]]

in the Federal Register. Accordingly, the Coast Guard is establishing 
temporary special local regulations on specified waters of the Chester 
River, Rappahannock River, Elizabeth River, Pasquotank River and North 
Atlantic Ocean.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and 
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses 
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    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.
    Although this rule prevents traffic from transiting a portion of 
certain waterways during specified events, the effect of this 
regulation will not be significant due to the limited duration that the 
regulated area will be in effect and the extensive advance 
notifications that will be made to the maritime community via marine 
information broadcasts, local radio stations and area newspapers so 
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly. Additionally, this 
rulemaking does not change the permanent regulated areas that have been 
published in 33 CFR 100.501, Table to Sec.  100.501. In some cases, 
vessel traffic may be able to transit the regulated area when the Coast 
Guard Patrol Commander deems it is safe to do so.

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 will 
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 regulation will not have a significant impact on a substantial 
number of small entities because it will be enforced only during 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 when it is safe to do 
so. In some cases, vessels will be able to safely transit around the 
regulated area at various times, and, with the permission of the Patrol 
Commander, vessels may transit through the regulated area. Before the 
enforcement period, the Coast Guard will issue maritime advisories so 
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to 
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could 
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking 
process.
    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). 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 will 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 does not create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may 
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 does 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 Statement of Energy 
Effects under Executive Order 13211.

[[Page 22098]]

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 Department of Homeland Security 
Management Directive 0023.1 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which 
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded 
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually 
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. 
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph 
(34)(h), of the Instruction. This rule involves implementation of 
regulations within 33 CFR Part 100 that apply to organized marine 
events on the navigable waters of the United States that may have 
potential for negative impact on the safety or other interest of 
waterway users and shore side activities in the event area. The 
category of water activities includes but is not limited to sail boat 
regattas, boat parades, power boat racing, swimming events, crew 
racing, and sail board racing.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an 
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion 
determination are not required for this rule.
