Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine 
Events Held in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of 
the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is updating the special local regulations and 
permanent safety zones in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England 
Captain of the Port Zone for annual recurring marine events. When 
enforced, these special local regulations and safety zones will 
restrict vessel operations within portions of water areas during 
certain annually recurring events. The special local regulations and 
safety zones are intended to expedite public notification and ensure 
the protection of the maritime public and event participants from the 
hazards associated with certain maritime events.

DATES: This rule is effective May 12, 2015. This rule will be enforced 
during dates and times specified in a series of Notices of Enforcement 
to be published no less than 30 days prior to any event requiring a 
special local regulation or safety zone covered by this rule.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On Tuesday, March 24, 2015, the Coast Guard published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations and 
Safety Zones; Recurring Events in Northern New England'' in the Federal 
Register (80 FR 15532). 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 final 
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying this rule would be 
impracticable and contrary to the public interest because the first 
scheduled marine event covered by this rule is scheduled for May. The 
Coast Guard did not receive the updated information on listed events in 
time to publish more than thirty days before the first events. The rule 
must become effective as soon as practicable to provide for the safety 
of all users of the waterway during the scheduled events.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33 
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; and Department of Homeland 
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast 
Guard to establish safety zones and special local regulations.
    Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an 
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard 
Sector Northern New England COTP Zone. In the past, the Coast Guard has 
established special local regulations, regulated areas, and safety 
zones for these annual recurring events on a case-by-case basis to 
ensure the protection of the maritime public and event participants 
from the hazards associated with these events. In the past year, events 
were assessed for their likelihood to recur in subsequent years and 
were added to the tables accordingly. In addition, the event titled 
``5.1 Hawgs, Pies, & Fireworks'' in Gardiner, ME. was changed to ``5.1 
Ride into Summer''.
    This rulemaking updates the existing regulation in order to meet 
the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety during these 
events.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    No comments were received and no changes have been made to the 
Final Rule.

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 and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of

[[Page 27088]]

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 Executive Order 12866 or under section 1 of 
Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget has not 
reviewed it under those Orders.
    We expect the economic impact of this rule to be minimal. Although 
this regulation may have some impact on the public, the potential 
impact will be minimized. The Coast Guard is only modifying an existing 
regulation to account for new information.

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 entities 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 received no comments from the Small Business 
Administration on this rule. 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 will 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 rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: Vessels 
will only be restricted from safety zones and special local regulation 
areas for a short duration of time; vessels may transit in portions of 
the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the regulated 
areas; and notifications will be made to the local maritime community 
through the Local Notice to Mariner's and Broadcast Notice to Mariner's 
well in advance of the events. In addition, this action is only 
modifying an existing rule which, in and of itself, did not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.

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 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 in the above section titled FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT.
    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 will not call for a 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 the 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 this rule 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 an 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

    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 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 determined 
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 water activities including swimming 
events and fireworks displays. This rule is categorically excluded from 
further review under paragraphs (34)(g) and

[[Page 27089]]

(34)(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental 
analysis checklist supporting this determination 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.
