II. Regulatory History

    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for this rule. 
Under Title 5 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), section 553(b)(A), 
the Coast Guard finds that this rule is exempt from notice and public 
comment rulemaking requirements because these changes involve rules of 
agency organization, procedure, or practice. In addition, the Coast 
Guard finds that notice and comment procedures are unnecessary under 5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as this rule consists only of technical and editorial 
corrections, and these changes will have no substantive effect on the 
public.

III. Basis and Purpose

    This rulemaking project was identified as part of the Coast Guard's 
Regulatory Reform Task Force Initiative. These field regulation changes 
were identified as part of the deregulation identification process 
required by Executive Order 13771 (Reducing Regulation and Controlling 
Regulatory Costs), Executive Order 13777 (Enforcing the Regulatory 
Reform Agenda Deregulatory Process), and associated guidance issued in 
2017. This rule makes technical and editorial corrections in Title 33 
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Specifically, the rule 
removes safety zones, security zones, and special local regulations 
where the event is no longer held. This rule also removes special 
anchorage areas that are no longer used, and redesignates certain 
special anchorage areas in the Hawaiian Islands and Guam so they are 
grouped in the CFR as District 14 anchorages. Additionally, the rule 
removes outdated references to penalties in regulations governing 
certain regulated navigation areas in Florida and Georgia, and updates 
Captain of the Port (COTP) information in regulations for certain 
regulated navigation areas and security zones in Kentucky, Ohio, and 
Missouri. These changes are necessary to correct errors, change 
addresses, and make other non-substantive changes that improve the 
clarity of the CFR. This rule does not create or change any substantive 
requirements.
    The changes to 33 CFR part 1 are authorized under 14 U.S.C. 503, 
which grants the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
broad authority to promulgate such regulations as are appropriate to 
carry out the provisions of any law applicable to the Coast Guard. The 
changes to 33

[[Page 8170]]

CFR part 100 are specifically authorized under 46 U.S.C. 70041(a), 
which vests the Commandant of the Coast Guard with authority to issue 
regulations to promote the safety of life on navigable waters during 
regattas or marine parades. The changes to 33 CFR parts 110 and 165 are 
authorized under the general authority of 46 U.S.C. 70034, granting the 
Secretary of DHS broad authority to issue, amend, or repeal regulations 
as necessary to implement 46 U.S.C. chapter 700, Ports and Waterways 
Safety Program. The Secretary has delegated rulemaking authority under 
14 U.S.C. 503 and 46 U.S.C. 70034 to the Commandant via DHS Delegation 
No. 0170.1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

282, 132 Stat. 4192 (Dec. 4, 2018) redesignated 33 U.S.C. 1231 as 46 
U.S.C. 70034.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    The Coast Guard amends 33 CFR parts 1, 100, 110, and 165 by 
removing outdated event references and updating contact information in 
Coast Guard Field Districts 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 17.

A. Changes to 33 CFR Part 1 General Provisions

    In Sec.  1.05-1 the following changes are being made:
    It amends paragraphs (d) and (d)(1) by updating the title of the 
Assistant Commandant for Reponse Policy;
    It amends paragraph (e) to clarify that the types of regulations 
Coast Guard District Commanders are authorized to issue include the 
establishment of safety zones around facilities being constructed 
maintained, or operated on the Outer Continental Shelf. This is not a 
new delegation of authority. District Commanders have been delegated 
the authority to issue and enforce safety zone regulations on the Outer 
Continental Shelf since 1982 and that authority is codified in Coast 
Guard regulations at 33 CFR 147.5 (47 FR 9366, 9386, March 4, 1982). 
The lack of inclusion of this authority in the general list of 
delegated authorities at Sec.  1.05-1 was a drafting oversight which we 
now wish to correct;
    It amends paragraph (g) by updating the title of the Assistant 
Commandant for Reponse Policy; and
    It amends paragraph (h) by updating the office symbol for the 
Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
    In Sec.  1.05-20, the Coast Guard is amending the mailing address 
for petitions for rulemaking. Currently Sec.  1.05-20 directs the 
public to mail petitions to CG-0943, to the attention of the Executive 
Secretary of the Marine Safety and Security Counsel. For expediency in 
directing incoming petitions to the proper office within the Coast 
Guard, we are amending this regulation to state that the public should 
mail petitions to the Office of Regulations and Administrative Law (CG-
LRA). The Executive Secretary for the Marine Safety and Security 
Counsel resides within the Office of Regulations and Administrative 
Law. The Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, previously 
identified with the abbreviation CG-0943, was re-identified as CG-LRA 
several years ago; and
    In Sec.  1.05-50 the following changes are made regarding final 
rules:
    The paragraph discussing rules issued through notice and comment 
first and then promulgation without notice and comment is being 
restructured. This proposed change reflects the requirements of 5 
U.S.C. 553 which requires agencies to allow the public to comment on 
rules prior to issuance except under certain specified conditions. 
Also, we are clarifying that the preamble to a final rule must respond 
to all significant comments, not necessarily all comments. We generally 
mention all comments that we received, even if only to note that some 
comments were outside the scope or completely not applicable to the 
rulemaking. However, we do not otherwise address the merits or spend as 
much time on comments that did not relate to the rulemaking.

B. Changes to 33 CFR Part 100 General Provisions

    In 33 CFR part 100, the following Special Local Regulations are 
being changed:
    In Table 7 of Sec.  100.801, item 3 (Battle on the Bayou) and item 
5 (Chattahoochee Challenge) are being removed, as these events are no 
longer issued permits;
    In Table 1 of Sec.  100.1101, item 7 (ITU World Triathlon), item 8 
(Fearless Triathlon), and item 9 (Bay to Bay Rowing and Paddling 
Regatta) are being removed, as these events are no longer issued 
permits;
    In Table 1 of Sec.  100.1103, item 1 (Redwood Heron Sprints 
Regatta), item 2 (Stockton Asparagus Festival), item 5 (Kinetic 
Sculpture Race), item 6 (Sacramento Bridge-to-Bridge Water Festival), 
and item 7 (Humboldt Bay Paddle Fest) are being removed, as these 
events are no longer issued permits;
    Section 100.1306 (National Maritime Week Tugboat Races) is being 
removed because this event no longer occurs; and
    Section 100.1307 (Straight Thunder Performance) is being removed 
because this event no longer occurs.

C. Changes to 33 CFR Part 110 General Provisions

    In 33 CFR part 110, the following anchorage areas are being 
changed:
    The special anchorage areas located in Sec.  110.65 (Indian River 
Bay), Sec.  110.70 (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal), and Sec.  110.71(a) 
(Northeast River), are being removed because they are no longer 
utilized;
    The special anchorage areas located in Sec.  110.128b (Island of 
Hawaii), Sec.  128c (Island of Kauai), and Sec.  128d (Island of Oahu) 
are being redesignated as Sec. Sec.  110.129, 110.129a, and 110.129b, 
respectively, so that they will be organized with the District 14 
anchorages, not District 13;
    The special anchorage area in Sec.  110.129a (Apra Harbor) is being 
redesignated as Sec.  110.129c because Sec.  110.128c has been 
redesignated above as Sec.  110.129a; and
    The special anchorage area listed in Sec.  110.232 (Southeast 
Alaska) is being removed, as this anchorage is no longer used.

D. Changes to 33 CFR Part 165 General Provisions

    In 33 CFR part 165, the following provisions are being changed:
    The security zones in Sec.  165.T08-0994 (Mississippi River, New 
Orleans), the safety zone in Sec.  165.T09-0971 (Overhead Cable 
Replacement, Maumee River), the safety zone in Sec.  165.T11-504 
(Independence Day Fireworks Celebration for the City of Richmond), and 
the safety zone in Sec.  165.T11-630 (Giants Enterprises Fireworks 
Display) are being removed, as the enforcement periods for these 
regulations have expired;
    Outdated reference to penalities in Sec.  165.726 (Regulated 
Navigation Areas, Miami River) and Sec.  165.756 (Regulated Navigation 
Area, Savannah River) are being removed;
    In Table 7 of Sec.  165.801, the safety zones are being removed in 
item 1 (Go Daddy Bowl), item 3 (Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival), and 
item 5 (Fourth of July Celebration City of Fort Walton Beach) as these 
events no longer occur;
    The security zones in Sec.  165.809 (Port of Port Lavaca-Point 
Comfort, Point Comfort, and Port of Corpus Christi Inner Harbor) are 
being removed as this security zone was removed in 2005 by previous 
regulation (70 FR 9363).
    The regulated navigation area in Sec.  165.815, paragraph (c) (Ohio 
River at Louisville, Kentucky) is being revised to provide correct 
Captain of the Port (COTP) information;
    The security zone in Sec.  165.820, paragraph (b) (Ohio River Mile 
34.6 to

[[Page 8171]]

35.1, Shippingport, Pennsylvania) is being revised to provide correct 
COTP information;
    The regulated navigation area in Sec.  165.821, paragraph (b) (Ohio 
River at Cincinnati, Ohio) is being revised to provide correct COTP 
information; and
    The security zones in Sec.  165.825, paragraph (b) (Captain of the 
Port St. Louis, Missouri) are being revised to provide correct COTP 
information.

IV. 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.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and 13563 
(Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review) 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 (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (Reducing Regulation and Controlling 
Regulatory Costs) directs agencies to reduce regulation and control 
regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new regulation 
issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for elimination, 
and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently managed and 
controlled through a budgeting process.''
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this 
rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive 
Order 12866. Accordingly, OMB has not reviewed it. Because this rule is 
not a significant regulatory action, this rule is exempt from the 
requirements of Executive Order 13771. See the OMB's Memorandum titled 
``Guidance Implementing Executive Order 13771, titled `Reducing 
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (April 5, 2017). A 
regulatory analysis (RA) follows. This rule involves non-substantive 
changes and internal agency practices and procedures; it will not 
impose any additional costs on the public. The benefit of the non-
substantive changes is increased clarity and accuracy of regulations.

B. Impact on 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. 
This rule will have no substantive effect on the regulated public. 
Therefore, 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 is not preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking and, 
therefore is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612). The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply 
when notice and comment rulemaking is not required.

C. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996, Public Law 104-121, we offer to assist small 
entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate 
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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.
    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).

D. 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.

E. 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 Executive Order 13132 and 
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism 
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 
13132.

F. 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. Although this rule would not result 
in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule 
elsewhere in this preamble.

G. 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).

H. 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.

I. 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 would not create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might 
disproportionately affect children.

J. Indian Tribal Governments

    This 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.

K. 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''

[[Page 8172]]

under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant 
adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy.

L. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act, codified as a 
note to 15 U.S.C. 272, directs agencies to use voluntary consensus 
standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides 
Congress, through OMB, 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.

M. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security 
Management Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing 
instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), 
which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (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. A Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) supporting 
this determination is available in the docket. For instructions on 
locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. A 
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration and a Memorandum for 
the Record are not required for this rule.
    This rule is categorically excluded from further review under 
paragraphs L54, L55, L59 and L61 in Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS 
Directive 023-01. Paragraph L54 pertains to promulgation of regulations 
that are editorial or procedural; paragraph L55 pertains to regulations 
concerning internal agency function or organization; paragraph L59 
pertains to regulations establishing, disestablishing, or changing the 
size of Special Anchorage Areas or anchorage grounds; paragraph L61 
pertains to special local regulations issues in conjunction with a 
regatta or marine parade. This rule amends Title 33 CFR parts 1, 100, 
110, and 165 by updating and clarifying general regulations and by 
removing outdated event references and updating contact information in 
Coast Guard Field Districts 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 17. These 
regulation changes are consistent with the Coast Guard's maritime 
safety and stewardship missions.
