RIN 1625-AA08 and 1625-AA00


Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine 
Events, Fireworks Displays, and Swim Events Held in the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to amend the special local 
regulations and annual recurring marine events requiring safety zones 
for fireworks displays and swim events along the Coast Guard Sector 
Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone. When enforced, these 
special local regulations and safety zones restrict vessels from 
transiting regulated areas during certain annually recurring events. 
The proposed amendments to 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 marine 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 24, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2023-0001 using the Federal Decision Making Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for 
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further 
instructions on submitting comments.

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 Long Island Sound COTP Zone. The Coast Guard has established 
special local regulations and safety zones for some of these annually 
recurring events to ensure the protection of the maritime public and 
event participants from potential hazards.
    The COTP Sector Long Island Sound proposes to revise 33 CFR 100.100 
Special Local Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone, Table 1 to Sec.  
100.100 and 33 CFR 165.151 Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows, 
and Swim Events in the Captain of the Port Long Island Sound Zone, 
Table 1 to Sec.  165.151 and to make notifications of the enforcement 
periods of exact dates and times through the Local Notice to Mariners 
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners in advance of the events. Under these 
current regulations, Sec.  100.100 and 165.151, if an event does not 
have a date listed, then exact dates and times of the enforcement 
period are announced through a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal 
Register.
    The marine events listed therein include air shows, firework 
displays, swim events, and other marine related events requiring a 
limited access area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The 
proposed revision to the tables would more accurately reflect the dates 
of marine events based on historical occurrences.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels 
and the navigable waters before, during, and after a scheduled event. 
The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 
U.S.C. 70034 and 70041.
    The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this 
proposed rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary 
changes can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient 
manner. The Coast Guard will address all public comments accordingly, 
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or 
otherwise.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Parts 100 and 165 of 33 CFR contain regulations establishing 
special local regulations and safety zones to restrict vessel traffic 
for the safety of persons and property. Section 100.100 establishes 
Special Local Regulations to ensure the safety and security of marine 
related events, participants, and spectators in the Coast Guard Sector 
Long Island Sound Zone.
    From time to time, these sections require revisions to properly 
advertise the recurring regulations and to remove such regulations that 
have not been enforced over a 5-year period in the Coast Guard Sector 
Long Island Sound Zone. This proposed rule would reduce the number of 
events listed in the Table 1 to Sec.  100.100 from 21 to 20.
    The Coast Guard proposes to amend regulations in 33 CFR 100.100 
Special Local Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone, by revising Sec.  
100.100(a) to note that that exact dates and times of the enforcement 
period of marine events listed in Table 1 to Sec.  100.100 would be 
made by means such as Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners in advance of the events and to revise the Table 1 to Sec.  
100.100 as indicated below. Our proposed revision of Sec.  100.100(a) 
and Table 1 to Sec.  100.100 appear at the end of this document. 
Section 165.151, Table 1, establishes recurring safety zones to 
restrict vessel transit into and through specified areas to protect 
spectators, mariners, and other persons and property from potential 
hazards presented during certain events taking place in Sector Long 
Island Sound's COTP zone. From time to time, this section requires 
amendments to properly reflect the recurring safety zones in Table 1. 
This proposed rule would reduce the number of events listed from in 
Table 1 from 74 to 29. Most of those removed are events that no longer 
occur or do not require a safety zone.
    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 165.151 Safety Zones; 
Fireworks Displays, Air Shows, and Swim Events in the Captain of the 
Port Long Island Sound Zone, by revising Sec.  165.151(a)(2) to note we 
would use Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners to 
announce the exact dates and times of the enforcement period of marine 
events listed in Table 1 to Sec.  165.151. These notifications would be 
made in advance of the events. This proposed rule would remove the 
current provision in Sec.  165.151(a)(2) that the Coast Guard will 
publish notices in the Federal Register to announce the exact dates and 
times of the enforcement period for events that do not have a date for 
the event listed in the Sec.  165.151. This information would be made 
solely via Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    Our proposed revision of Sec.  165.151(a)(2) and Table 1 to Sec.  
165.151 appear in the regulatory text at the end of this document. The 
purpose of this proposed rule is the same as for the existing 
regulation, to restrict general navigation in the safety zones during 
these events. Vessels intending to transit the designated waterway 
through the safety zones will only be allowed to transit the area when 
the COTP or a designated representative has deemed it safe to do so or 
at the completion of the events. The proposed annually recurring safety 
zones are necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable 
waters of the U.S. during the events.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes 
and Executive Orders related to rulemaking. A summary of our analyses 
based on these statutes and Executive Orders follows.

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. 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).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, and duration of the special local regulations and safety 
zones. These regulated areas are limited in size and duration and are 
usually positioned away from high vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the 
Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM 
marine channel 16 about the zones and the rule would allow vessels to 
seek permission to enter the zones. Vessel traffic would also be able 
to request permission from the COTP or a designated representative to 
enter the restricted area.

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.

[[Page 17472]]

    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit 
these regulated areas 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 proposed 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 proposed rule 
would affect your small business, organization, or governmental 
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or 
options for compliance, please call or email 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 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 call or email 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 potential effects of 
this proposed 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 revising 
the tables to 33 CFR 100.100 and 33 CFR 165.151. Normally such actions 
are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60a, 
L60b, and L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-
001-01, Rev. 1. A preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration 
supporting this determination is available in the docket. For 
instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this 
preamble. 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 call or email 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.
