33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2024-0361]
RIN 1625-AA08


Special Local Regulation; Back River, Baltimore County, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish special local 
regulations to provide for the safety of life on certain waters of the 
Back River, in Baltimore County, MD. These regulations would be 
enforced during a high-speed power boat event and air show which will 
be held annually, on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th weekend (Friday, Saturday, and 
Sunday) in July. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and 
vessels from being in the regulated area unless authorized by the 
Captain of the Port, Maryland-National Capital Region,

[[Page 34174]]

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Coast Guard regulations define ``regatta or marine parade'' as an 
organized water event of limited duration which is conducted according 
to a prearranged schedule. 33 CFR 100.05(a). And, as explained in 33 
CFR 100.15, Coast Guard requires that an organization planning to hold 
a regatta or marine event apply for a permit if the event, by its 
nature, circumstances, or location, will introduce extra or unusual 
hazards to the safety of life on the navigable waters of the United 
States. These permits may be approved by the Coast Guard, or by the 
state in which the event is to take place, if there is a Coast Guard-
State agreement in place. See 33 CFR 100.10. Upon the approval of an 
application, the Captain of the Port, Sector Maryland-National Capital 
Region (COTP) may promulgate such ``Special Local Regulations'' (SLR's) 
as he or she deems necessary to insure safety of life on the navigable 
waters immediately prior to, during, and immediately after the event. 
See 33 CFR 100.35(a).
    Tiki Lee's Dock Bar of Sparrows Point, MD has submitted permit 
applications for two separate but concurrently held annual events in 
previous years. These events are ``Tiki Lee's Shootout on the River 
High Speed Power Boat'' event, and ``Tiki Lee's Shootout on the River 
Air Show.'' In the past, the Coast Guard has created temporary SLR's 
(which expire after a particular year's events have taken place) for 
the events. Because Tiki Lee's Dock Bar has indicated that it intends 
to continue to submit applications annually to hold these events (on 
the 2nd, 3rd or 4th, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in July), however, we 
are proposing to incorporate the SLR into a permanent rule for these 
recurring events (33 CFR 100.501). Such permanent rule would not 
expire, but it would only be subject to enforcement during periods when 
the events are taking place. The Coast Guard would supplement the rule 
each year, when an application for the current year's events is 
approved, with a Notification of Enforcement providing specifics about 
enforcement times.
    In ``Tiki Lee's Shootout on the River High Speed Power Boat'' 
event, approximately 40 participants compete with one another, 
completing individually-timed power boat speed runs on a designated, 
marked, linear course. The course is located in Baltimore County, 
Maryland, on the Back River, between Porter Point, to the south, and 
Stansbury Point, to the north. Both the power boat event and the air 
show are being held adjacent to Tiki Lee's Dock Bar, 4309 Shore Road, 
Sparrows Point, in Baltimore County, MD, but the speed power boat 
course area is different from the air show's aerobatic box. Among the 
hazards the high-speed power boat event pose are the chance that 
collisions will occur between event participants operating within, or 
adjacent to the navigation channel designated for the event, and non-
participants traveling through that channel, or within approaches to 
local marinas, boat facilities and waterfront residential communities.
    In ``Tiki Lee's Shootout on the River Air Show,'' civilian and 
military aircraft perform an air show flying low, and at high speeds. 
Air show performers operate within a designated, marked aerobatics box 
located on the Back River, between Lynch Point, to the south, and 
Walnut Point, to the north. Hazards from the air show which would 
threaten people in vessels traveling in the area if such vessels were 
allowed to do so without restriction include risks of injury or death 
resulting from aircraft accidents, being hit by dangerous projectiles 
or falling debris, and the chance that spectators and through traffic 
distracted by the air show would collide. Hazards to the environment in 
the event of a collision include hazardous materials spills.
    The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region has determined that the 
potential hazards associated with the high-speed power boat event and 
air show would be a safety concern for anyone intending to participate 
in this event and for vessels that operate within specified waters of 
the Back River. The purpose of this rulemaking is to protect event 
participants, non-participants, and transiting vessels before, during, 
and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard is proposing this 
rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70041.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to establish special local regulations which may 
be subject to enforcement in a particular year on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th 
weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) in July. The regulated area for 
both events would cover all navigable waters of the Back River within 
an area which is approximately 4,200 yards in length and 1,200 yards in 
width. It is described with particularity in the draft regulatory text, 
below. The regulated area is Within the regulated area, specific zones 
would be designated as a ``Course Area,'' a ``Buffer zone,'' an 
``Aerobatics Box,'' and three ``Spectator Areas,'' the ``East Spectator 
Fleet Area,'' the ``Northwest Spectator Fleet Area,'' and the Southwest 
Spectator Fleet Area.'' These are defined in the draft regulatory text, 
below. We have filed chartlets in the docket which depict these areas 
visually to aid commenters, but only the language of the draft 
regulatory text would be included in the regulation. To access 
documents mentioned as being available in the docket, go to section V 
of this document (``Public Participation and Request for Comments'').
    While there are two separate events and while both are held on the 
same weekends, the two events will not necessarily occur at the same 
time, or on the same days. Historically, the air show has occurred on 
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, while the high-speed power boat runs have 
occurred on Saturday, with a rain date of Sunday. On Saturday, when 
both events occur, the high-speed power boat runs have been halted at 2 
p.m. to accommodate the air show. The speed runs then have then resumed 
at 3 p.m. and continue until they have finished.
    The proposed enforcement periods and and the size of the regulated 
area were chosen to ensure the safety of life

[[Page 34175]]

on these navigable waters before, during, and after activities 
associated with the high-speed power boat event and air show. As is now 
provided in 33 CFR 10.501(a), the Coast Guard would publish an annual 
notification of enforcement (identifying the overall enforcement 
periods and periods of enforcement of particular zones within the 
regulated area) in the Federal Register, provide notice in the Fifth 
Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners, and issue a marine 
information broadcast on VHF-FM marine band radio announcing specific 
event dates and times.
    Consistent with 33 CFR 100.35(a), the COTP and the Coast Guard 
Event PATCOM would have authority to forbid or control the movement of 
all vessels and persons, including event participants, in the regulated 
area. When hailed or signaled by an official patrol, a vessel or person 
in the regulated area would be required to immediately comply with the 
directions given by the COTP or Event PATCOM, as is now provided in 33 
CFR 100.501(d). If a person or vessel fails to follow such directions, 
the Coast Guard may expel them from the area, issue them a citation for 
failure to comply, or both.
    Only participant vessels would be allowed to enter the course area 
and aerobatics box. Except for Tiki Lee's Shootout on the River 
participants and vessels already at berth, a vessel or person would be 
required to get permission from the COTP or Event PATCOM before 
entering the regulated area. Vessel operators would be able to request 
permission to enter and transit through the regulated area by 
contacting the Event PATCOM on VHF-FM channel 16. Operators of vessels 
already at berth desiring to move those vessels when the event is 
subject to enforcement would be required to obtain permission before 
doing so.
    If permission is granted by the COTP or Event PATCOM, a person or 
vessel would be allowed to enter the regulated area or pass directly 
through the regulated area as instructed. Vessels would be required to 
operate at a safe speed that minimizes wake while within the regulated 
area in a manner that would not endanger event participants or any 
other craft.
    A person or vessel not registered with the event sponsor as a 
participant or assigned as official patrols would be considered a 
spectator. A spectator vessel must not loiter within the navigable 
channel while within the regulated area. Official patrol vessels would 
direct spectators to the designated spectator area. Official Patrols 
are any vessel assigned or approved by the Commander, Coast Guard 
Sector Maryland-National Capital Region with a commissioned, warrant, 
or petty officer onboard and displaying a Coast Guard ensign. Official 
Patrols enforcing this regulated area can be contacted on VHF-FM 
channel 16 and channel 22A.
    This proposed rule would modify 33 CFR 100.501 by listing a new 
recurring marine event in Table 2 to Paragraph (i)(2), which covers the 
Coast Guard Sector Maryland-National Capital Region COTP Zone. The 
Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 
70041.
    The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of this 
document.

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. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant 
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as 
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review). 
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size and 
duration of the regulated area, which would impact a small, designated 
area of Back River. This waterway supports mainly recreational vessel 
traffic, which at its peak, occurs during the summer season. Although 
this regulated area extends across the entire width of the waterway, 
the rule would allow vessels and persons to seek permission to enter 
the regulated area, and vessel traffic would be able to transit the 
regulated area as instructed by Event PATCOM. Such vessels must operate 
at safe speed that minimizes wake and not loiter within the navigable 
channel while within the regulated area. Moreover, the Coast Guard 
would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 
about the status of the regulated 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the 
regulated area 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.

[[Page 34176]]

    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 
implementation of regulations within 33 CFR part 100 applicable to 
organized marine events on the navigable waters of the United States 
that could negatively impact the safety of waterway users and shore 
side activities in the event area. 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. 1. 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.
