33 CFR Part 100

[Docket No. USCG-2011-0106]
RIN 1625-AA08


Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth 
Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of special local 
regulations established for recurring marine events at various 
locations within the Fifth Coast Guard District. This proposed rule 
would add 6 new annual recurring marine events, change event date(s) 
for 12 previously established events, and delete 4 previously listed 
marine events. Special local regulations are being proposed to provide 
for the safety of life on navigable waters during these events, reduce 
the Coast Guard's administrative workload and expedite public 
notification of events. Entry into or movement within these proposed 
regulated areas during the enforcement periods is prohibited without 
approval of the appropriate Captain of the Port.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before November 14, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2011-0106 using any one of the following methods:

Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of permanent special 
local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501, established for recurring marine 
events at various locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth 
Coast Guard District. The Fifth Coast Guard District is comprised of 
the land areas and U.S. navigable waters adjacent to North Carolina, 
Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware and portions of 
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For a detailed description of the 
geographical area of the district and each Coast Guard Sector--Captain 
of the Port Zone, please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of special local 
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 6 new annual recurring events, 
revising 12 previously established locations and deleting 4 previously 
listed marine events and corresponding regulated areas that are no 
longer occurring. The special local regulated areas removed from this 
section include: Night in Venice, Ocean City, NJ; Baltimore County 
Community Waterfront Festival, Martin Lagoon, MD; Annapolis Triathlon 
Swim, Spa Creek, Severn River, MD; and Virginia state hydroplane 
championships, Western Branch, Elizabeth River, VA. Currently there are 
57 special local regulations that are established and enforced at 
various periods throughout the year that are held on an annual basis. 
This rule will increase the total number of special local regulations 
to 59. The table to 33 CFR 100.501 would be renumbered with section 
divisions that would facilitate future changes.
    The Coast Guard proposes to revise regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by 
adding 6 new marine event locations to the permanent special local 
regulations listed in this section. The new special local regulations 
are listed in the following table, including reference by section as 
printed in the Table to Sec.  100.501.

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

    This regulation currently includes events such as sailing regattas, 
power boat races, swim races, holiday parades, crew and other paddle 
craft races. Currently, there are 57 annual recurring marine events and 
many other non-recurring events within the Fifth Coast Guard 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.
    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 completed 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 marine event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and 
indicates the sponsor, as well as the date(s) 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.
    Based on the nature of marine events, large number of participants 
and spectators, and the event locations, the Coast Guard has determined 
that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to participants 
or waterway users if normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the 
event. Possible hazards include risks of participant injury or death 
resulting from near or actual contact with non-participant vessels 
traversing through the regulated areas. In order to protect the safety 
of all waterway users including event participants and spectators, this 
proposed rule would establish special local regulations for the time 
and location of each marine event.
    This proposed rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, 
mooring or anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated 
areas during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the 
Captain of the Port, or designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The 
designated ``Patrol Commander'' includes Coast Guard commissioned, 
warrant, or petty officer who has been designated by the Captain of the 
Port to act on their behalf. On-scene patrol commander may be augmented 
by local, State or Federal officials authorized to act in support of 
the Coast Guard.

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.
    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 a 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.
    The numbering sequence for marine events listed in the table to 
Sec.  100.501 has been revised. Within the table, each subparagraph 
will be numbered in numerical sequence for each Coast Guard Sector in 
the Fifth District. This administrative change will facilitate future 
updates by eliminating the need to republish the entire table when 
events are added, deleted or modified.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes 
and

[[Page 63242]]

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, as 
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and 
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential 
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866 
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management 
and Budget has not reviewed it under that those Orders.
    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 proposed 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 (adjusted for 
inflation) 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.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause 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

[[Page 63243]]

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 Department of Homeland 
Security Management Directive 023-01 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 
made a preliminary determination that 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 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. We seek any comments or information that 
may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from 
this proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

    Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements, Waterways.
    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes 
to amend 33 CFR part 100 as follows:

PART 100--SAFETY OF LIFE ON NAVIGABLE WATERS

    1. The authority citation for part 100 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority:  33 U.S.C. 1233.

    2. Revise section 100.501 to read as follows:


Sec.  100.501  Special Local Regulations; Marine Events in the Fifth 
Coast Guard District.

    The following regulations apply to the marine events listed in the 
Table to Sec.  100.501. These regulations will be effective annually, 
for the duration of each event listed in the Table to Sec.  100.501. 
Annual notice of the exact dates and times of the effective period of 
the regulation with respect to each event, the geographical area, and 
details concerning the nature of the event and the number of 
participants and type(s) of vessels involved will be published in Local 
Notices to Mariners and via Broadcast Notice to Mariners over VHF-FM 
marine band radio.
    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section: 
(1) Coast Guard Patrol Commander. A Patrol Commander is a commissioned, 
warrant, or petty officer of the Coast Guard who has been designated by 
the respective Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port to enforce these
