Basis and Purpose
Firework displays are held annually on a recurring basis on the
navigable waters within the Eleventh Coast Guard District. Many of the
annual firework events requiring safety zones do not currently reflect
changes in actual dates and other required information. These safety
zones are necessary to provide for the safety of the crew, spectators,
participants of the event, participating vessels, and other users and
vessels of the waterway from the hazards associated with firework
displays. This proposed rule will also provide the public current
information on safety zone locations, size, and length of time the
zones will be active.
The effect of these proposed safety zones will be to restrict
general navigation in the vicinity of the events, from the start of
each event until the conclusion of that event. These areas will be
patrolled at the discretion of the Coast Guard. Except for persons or
vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or
vessel may enter or remain in the regulated area. These regulations are
needed to keep spectators and vessels a safe distance away from the
firework displays to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and
transiting vessels.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on
February 9, 2011 entitled ``Safety Zones; Eleventh Coast Guard District
Annual Fireworks Events'' in the Federal Register (76 FR 7131). We did
not receive any comments on the proposed rule and did not receive any
requests for a public meeting. A public meeting was not held. The NPRM
published for this regulation proposed establishing safety zones for
new annual fireworks events occurring in two Southern California
Captain of the Port Zones (COTP) and on the Colorado River between
Davis Dam (Bullhead City, Arizona) and Headgate Dam (Parker, Arizona),
and also proposed to update existing safety zones to reflect current
information on annual firework displays occurring within the Eleventh
Coast Guard District.
The Coast Guard proposes to delete the limiting descriptor
``commercial'' as applied to vessels being allowed to transit through
the regulated areas when permitted by PATCOM in 33 CFR 165.1123(b)(4);
and 165.1124(b)(4). Often the PATCOM will allow all queued vessels to
transit through a zone; for example during a long break in a race. The
Coast Guard also proposes to revise the text of 100.1123(b)(3); and
100.1124(b)(3) to delete reference to the Patrol Commander (PATCOM)
being located on the lead official patrol vessel. Often the PATCOM is
located shoreside in a location that offers a better vantage point to
monitor the event. The location of the PATCOM may also be dictated by
radio communication requirements, or a need to be co-located with local
law enforcement representatives.
Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes to change the dates for the
Mission Bay 4th of July Fireworks and the Coronado, California
Fireworks Display from a specific date to a range of dates (``the first
week in July''). Due to the day of the week on which the 4th of July
falls, these are not always the desired dates. The Coast Guard also
proposes to change the date of the San Diego Parade of Lights Fireworks
[[Page 30586]]
Display from ``late December'' to ``December'' to allow for required
scheduling flexibility when activating the safety zone. For
administrative efficiency and to avoid potential problems, the Coast
Guard proposed to amend Table 1 to Sec. 165.1123 to reflect these
changes. Finally, the proposed title of 33 CFR 165.1124 will be revised
to clearly indicate the safety zones are located in the San Diego COTP.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This rule is
not a significant regulatory action because the regulations exist for a
limited period of time on a limited portion of the waterways.
Furthermore, individuals and vessels desiring to use the affected
portion of the waterways may seek permission from the Patrol Commander
to use the affected areas.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed 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.
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. We expect this proposed rule will affect the
following entities, some of which may be small entities: Owners and
operators of vessels intending to fish, sightsee, transit, or anchor in
the waters affected by these safety zones. These regulations will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities for several reasons: Small vessel traffic will be able to pass
safely around the area and vessels engaged in event activities,
sightseeing and commercial fishing have ample space outside of the area
governed by the special local regulations to engage in these
activities. Small entities and the maritime public will be advised of
implementation of the safety zone via public notice to mariners or
notice of implementation published in the Federal Register.
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.
Assistance for Small Entities
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 so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 Lieutenant Junior Grade Lucas
Mancini, Eleventh Coast Guard District Prevention Division, Waterways
Management Branch, Coast Guard; telephone 510-437-3801, e-mail
[email protected]. 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.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.
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.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would 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.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed 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.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed 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.
Indian Tribal Governments
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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed 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'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not
[[Page 30587]]
require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
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 (NEPA)(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. A preliminary environmental analysis
checklist 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.
