NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On November 9, 2011, the Coast Guard enacted the current version of 
33 CFR 165.118, which establishes several permanent safety zones 
throughout Captain of the Port Boston zone. On June 14, 2013 the Coast 
Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal 
Register (78 FR 35798), proposing to amend 33 CFR 165.118 by 
establishing three new permanent safety zones. No comments were 
received. No public meeting was requested, and none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 46 
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; Pub. L. 107-295, 
116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 
0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define 
regulatory safety zones.
    Recently, the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, Sector Boston, 
determined that public safety requires that a safety zone be enforced 
around three maritime events that recur annually in Captain of the Port 
Boston zone. Specifically, the Captain of the Port, Sector Boston, 
determined that a safety zone is required around the Hull Youth 
Football Carnival Fireworks, the Boston Harbor Triathlon, and the 
Boston Harbor Sharkfest Swim.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    For the reasons stated above, the Captain of the Port, Sector 
Boston, is establishing three new permanent safety zones in 33 CFR 
165.118. These new safety zones will be listed in 33 CFR 165.118 as 
(6.5) Hull Youth Football Carnival Fireworks, (8.8) The Boston

[[Page 67029]]

Triathlon, and (9.7) Boston Harbor Sharkfest Swim.
    The Hull Youth Football Carnival Fireworks safety zone will consist 
of all waters within a 450-foot radius around the fireworks barge, 
which will be located at position 42[deg]16.6[min] N, 070[deg]51.7[min] 
W. This safety zone will be enforced between 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. 
on the third or fourth weekend of June each year.
    The Boston Triathlon safety zone will consist of all waters of 
Boston Inner Harbor within the following points: from 42[deg]21.7[min] 
N, 071[deg]02.1[min] W to 42[deg]21.6[min] N, 071[deg]02.8[min] W to 
42[deg]21.7[min] N, 071[deg]02.8[min] W and then to 42[deg]21.8[min] N, 
071[deg]02.4[min] W. This safety zone will be enforced between 7:00 
a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on the second or third weekend of August each year.
    The Boston Harbor Sharkfest Swim will consist of all waters of 
Boston Inner Harbor within the following points: from 42[deg]21.7[min] 
N, 071[deg]02.1[min] W to 42[deg]21.8[min] N, 071[deg]02.4[min] W to 
42[deg]21.3[min] N, 071[deg]02.9[min] W and then to 42[deg]21.3[min] N, 
071[deg]02.3[min] W. This safety zone will be enforced between 10:00 
a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on a Saturday during the second or third weekend of 
September each year.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. 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) Executive Order 12866 or under 
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget 
has not reviewed it under that Order.
    The Coast Guard has determined that this rule is not a significant 
regulatory action for the following reasons: The three new safety zones 
established by this rule will be enforced for relatively short periods. 
Also, vessels may enter or pass through the affected waterway with the 
appropriate permission. Additionally, notification of the safety zone 
will be made to mariners through the local Notice to Mariners and 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in advance of enforcement.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as 
amended requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of 
regulations on small entitles during rulemaking. 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 final 
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. This final rule would affect the following 
entities, some of which might be small entities: owners or operators of 
vessels intending to transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where the 
listed annual recurring events are being held. The final rule will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities for the same reasons outlined in the Regulatory Planning and 
Review section above. The Coast Guard received no comments from the 
Small Business Administration about this rule.

3. 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 rule. If you believe that this 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 in the FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, above.
    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.

4. 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).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, 
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on States, on the 
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of 
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined 
that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. 
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that 
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or 
security of people, places or vessels.

7. 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 rule will not result in 
such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in 
this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will 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.

9. 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.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    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.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 
13175, Consultation and Coordination

[[Page 67030]]

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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``Significant energy action'' under Executive 
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect 
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not 
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 concluded 
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not 
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human 
environment. This rule involves the establishment of three new 
permanent safety zones and thus, is categorically excluded from further 
review under, paragraph 34(g) of figure 2-1 of the Commandant 
Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical 
exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated 
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to 
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.
