33 CFR Part 100 and 165

[Docket No. USCG-2015-1052]
RIN 1625-AA08; AA00


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: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to update 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 proposed special local regulations and safety 
zones would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during 
certain annually recurring events. The proposed 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. 
We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before April 25, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2015-1052 the Federal eRulemaking Portal http://www.regulations.gov. 
See the ``Public Participation and Request for Comments'' portion of 
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for instructions on submitting 
comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this 
proposed rulemaking, call or email Chief Marine Science Technician 
Chris Bains, Waterways Management Division at Coast Guard Sector 
Northern New England, telephone (207) 347-5003, or email 
[email protected].

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    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. As mentioned above, the 
Coast Guard has not received public comments or concerns regarding the 
impact to waterway traffic from the Coast Guard's regulations 
associated with these annually recurring events. In the past year, 
events were assessed for their likelihood to recur in subsequent years 
or to discontinue, and were added to or deleted from the tables 
accordingly. In addition, minor changes to existing events were made to 
ensure the accuracy of event details.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to reduce administrative 
overhead, expedite public notification of events, and ensure the 
protection of the maritime public during marine events in the Sector 
Northern New England area. The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking 
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The proposed rule would update the tables of annual recurring 
events in the existing regulation for the Coast Guard Sector Northern 
New England COTP Zone. The tables provide the event name, sponsor, and 
type, as well as approximate times, dates, and locations of the events. 
Advanced public notification of specific times, dates, regulated areas, 
and enforcement periods for each event will be provided through 
appropriate means, which may include, but are not limited to, the Local 
Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, or a Notice of 
Enforcement published in the Federal Register at least 30 days prior to 
the event date. If an event does not have a date and time listed in 
this regulation, then the precise dates and times of the enforcement 
period for that event will be announced through a Local Notice to 
Mariners and, if time permits, a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal 
Register.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes 
and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize 
our analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we 
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    E.O.s 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and 
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is 
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. 
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant 
regulatory action,'' under E.O. 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not 
been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal. 
Although this regulation may have some impact on the public, the 
potential impact will be minimized for the

[[Page 9381]]

following reason: the Coast Guard is only modifying an existing 
regulation to account for new information.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the 
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section 
IV.A above this proposed rule would not have a significant economic 
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    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.
    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. 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 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section. 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.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of 
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under E.O. 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 proposed rule under that Order and 
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism 
principles and preemption requirements described in E.O. 13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under 
E.O. 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. If 
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or 
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section above.

E. 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.

F. 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 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made 
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves water 
activities including swimming events and fireworks displays and maybe 
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) 
(Safety Zones) and (34)(h) (Special Local Regulations) of Figure 2-1 of 
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary environmental analysis 
checklist supporting this is 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 proposed 
rule.

G. 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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments
