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 Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. The Coast 
Guard has established special local regulations and safety zones for 
some of these annual recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure 
the protection of the maritime public and event participants from 
potential hazards. In the past, the Coast Guard has not received public 
comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic from 
regulations associated with these annually recurring events. Events 
were either added or deleted to the table of annual events based on 
their likelihood to recur in subsequent years. In addition, minor 
changes to existing events, such as position, date, or title, were made 
to ensure the accuracy of event details.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure accurate notification 
of relevant events and protect the maritime public during marine events 
in the Sector Northern New England COTP Zone. The Coast Guard proposes 
this rulemaking under its authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 and 46 U.S.C. 
70041.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The proposed rule would update the terminology and tables of annual 
recurring events in the existing regulations 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.
    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.120 ``Special Local 
Regulations; Marine Events Held in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New 
England Captain of the Port Zone'' by replacing language referencing 
``Patrol Commander'' to ``Designated Representative'' and adding 
language clarifying only event sponsors, designated participants, and 
official

[[Page 11032]]

patrol vessels will be allowed to enter regulated areas. Spectators and 
other vessels not registered as event participants may not enter the 
safety zones without the permission of the COTP or the Designated 
Representative. Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 
100.120 ``Special Local Regulations; Marine Events Held in the Coast 
Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone'' by 
updating the details of two events, deleting two events, and adding two 
events to the TABLE 1 to Sec.  100.120. This rule proposes the 
following updates to the TABLE 1 to Sec.  100.120: (1) 8.1 Eggemoggin 
Reach Regatta regulated area will be updated to reflect only the event 
start location; (2) 8.7 Multiple Sclerosis Harborfest Lobster Boat/
Tugboat Races location will be corrected. The events deleted from the 
TABLE 1 to Sec.  100.120 will be: (1) 8.2 Southport Rowgatta Rowing and 
Paddling Boat Race and (2) 7.5 Mayor's Cup Regatta. The two events 
added to the table are the (1) 8.8 Eastport Pirates Festival Invasion 
of Lubec Lobster Boat Race and (2) 6.5 Portland's Tallship Parade of 
Ships Event.
    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 165.171 ``Safety Zones for 
fireworks displays and swim events held in Coast Guard Sector Northern 
New England Captain of the Port Zone'' by adding language clarifying 
only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol 
vessels will be allowed to enter regulated areas. Spectators and other 
vessels not registered as event participants may not enter the safety 
zones without the permission of the COTP or the Designated 
Representative. Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 
165.171 ``Safety Zones for fireworks displays and swim events held in 
Coast Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone'' by 
updating the details of one event and deleting 20 events from the TABLE 
1 to Sec.  165.171. This rule proposes the following update to the 
TABLE 1 to Sec.  165.171: Corrected location for 8.2 Islesboro Crossing 
Swim. Events proposed for removal are obsolete events which have not 
been held for the past three years or which the sponsor's indicate they 
have no intention to continue, and events that have been determined to 
``not present an extra or unusual hazard on the waterway.'' The events 
deleted from the TABLE 1 to Sec.  165.171 will be: (1) 6.1 Waterfront 
Days Fireworks; (2) 6.2 LaKermesse Fireworks; (3) 7.1 Vinalhaven 4th of 
July Fireworks; (4) 7.3 The Great Race; (5) 7.4 Bangor 4th of July 
Fireworks; (6) Eastport 4th of July Fireworks; (7) 7.8 Ellis Short Sand 
Park Trustee Fireworks; (8) 7.9 Hampton Beach 4th of July Fireworks; 
(9) 7.12 Main Street Heritage Days 4th of July Fireworks; (10) 7.14 St. 
Albans Day Fireworks; (11) 7.17 Shelburne Triathlons; (12) 7.18 St. 
George Days Fireworks; (13) 7.20 Richmond Days Fireworks; (14) 7.24 
Bucksport Festival and Fireworks; (15) 7.26 Paul Coulombe Anniversary 
Fireworks; (16) 8.1 Westerlund's Landing Party Fireworks; (17) 8.2 York 
Beach Fire Department Fireworks; (18) 8.5 Paul Columbe Party Fireworks; 
(19) 9.2 Eastport Pirate Festival Fireworks; (20) 9.4 Eliot Festival 
Day Fireworks.
    The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of this 
document. 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. 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 a Notice of 
Enforcement in the Federal Register.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control 
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been 
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt 
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, duration, and time-of-day of each regulated area. We are 
adding two new special local regulation, updating existing regulations 
by removing obsolete events which have not been held for the past three 
years or which the sponsor's indicate they have no intention to 
continue, and removing events that have been determined to ``not 
present an extra or unusual hazard on the waterway.'' Dates and 
coordinates have been updated to more accurately reflect the event. 
Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via 
VHF-FM marine channel 16 for any Safety Zone or Special Local 
Regulation. Additionally, the rule would allow vessels to seek 
permission to enter the regulated areas.

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).

[[Page 11033]]

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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 proposed rule under that Order and 
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism 
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 
13132.
    Also, 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. 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.

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 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 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 special 
local regulations for various one day marine events and safety zones 
for fireworks displays and one day swimming events. Normally such 
actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 
L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, 
Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting 
this determination 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

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking, 
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment 
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If 
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this 
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
