Safety Zones & Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events
in Captain of the Port Long Island Sound Zone
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to add, delete, and modify safety
zones and special local regulations and add language to clarify time
frames and notification requirements for annual marine events in the
Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. When these
regulated areas are activated and subject to enforcement, this rule
would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during these
recurring events. The safety zones and special local regulations will
facilitate public notification of events and provide protective
measures for the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these recurring events.

B. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard promulgated safety zones and special local
regulations for most of these events in the past and received no public
comments. The most recently promulgated rulemaking was on April 4, 2012
when the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking
entitled, (NPRM) Special Local Regulation and Safety Zones; Marine
Events in Captain of the Port Sector Long Island Sound Zone in the
Federal Register (77 FR 20324). A final rule was published on July 5,
2012, entitled, ``Special Local Regulation and Safety Zones; Marine
Events in Captain of the Port Sector Long Island Sound Zone'' in the
Federal Register (77 FR 39633).
C. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1,
6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define regulatory safety
zones.
This regulation proposes to: (1) Establish new marine event
regulated areas, (2) remove old safety zones that are no longer needed,
(3) modify and update some existing regulated areas and (4) clarify
event time frames and marine event application requirements. This will
account for new events, remove events that are no longer held, and to
account for modifications to several of the recurring marine events
that have occurred since last year.
D. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to revise sections 33 CFR 165.151 ``Safety
Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows and Swim Events in the Captain of
the Port Long Island Sound Zone'' and 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 establishing 41 permanent
marine events regulated areas, removing four, modifying one marine
event safety zone and adding language to clarify event time frames and
marine event application requirements. By proposing these permanent
regulation updates, we are providing the public with an opportunity to
comment on these changes. This rulemaking limits the unnecessary burden
of continually establishing temporary rules every year for events that
occur on an annual basis.
(1) Establishing New Marine Event Regulated Areas
This rule proposes to establish 39 permanent marine event safety
zones under 33 CFR 165.151 and two permanent marine events special
local regulations under 33 CFR 100.100. These events include fireworks
displays, swimming events, and regattas that take place throughout the
Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone. Event locations and details
are listed below in the text of the regulation. Because large numbers
of spectator vessels are expected to congregate around the location of
these events, these regulated areas are needed to protect both
spectators and participants from the safety hazards created by them--
including large numbers of swimmers, hard to see and unstable small
boats, unexpected pyrotechnics detonation, and burning debris. This
rule would permanently establish regulated areas that restrict vessel
movement around the location of each marine event to reduce the safety
risks associated with them.
During the enforcement period of the regulated areas, persons and
vessels would be prohibited from entering, transiting through,
remaining, anchoring or mooring within the regulated area unless
specifically authorized by the COTP or the designated representative.
Persons and vessels would be able to request authorization to enter,
transit through, remain, anchor or moor within the regulated areas by
contacting the COTP Sector Long Island Sound by telephone at (203) 468-
4401, or designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16. If
authorization to enter, transit through, remain, anchor, or moor within
any of the regulated areas is granted, all persons and vessels
receiving authorization would be required to comply with the
instructions of the COTP or designated representative.
The Coast Guard COTP Sector Long Island Sound or designated
representatives would enforce the regulated areas. These designated
representatives are comprised of commissioned, warrant, and petty
officers of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other
federal, state and local agencies in the enforcement of these regulated
areas.
To aid the public in identifying the launch platforms; fireworks
barges used for these displays will have a sign on their port and
starboard side labeled ``FIREWORKS--STAY AWAY.'' This sign will consist
of 10 inch high by 1.5 inch wide red lettering on a white background.
Shore launch sites will display a sign labeled ``FIREWORKS--STAY AWAY''
with the same dimensions.
Certain safety zones and special local regulations are listed
without known dates or times. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound will
cause notice of the enforcement of these regulated areas to be made by
all appropriate means to affect the widest publicity among the effected
segments of the public, including publication in the Federal Register
as a Notice of Enforcement, Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
(2) Remove Old Safety Zones That Are No Longer Needed
This rule proposes to remove four safety zones from TABLE 1 to
Sec. 165.151. Events 7.18 Hartford Riverfest Fireworks and 7.32 Thames
River Fireworks will be removed because they are redundant. The
Riverfest Fireworks and Mashantucket Pequot Fireworks events are
permanent events under TABLE 1 to
[[Page 20279]]
Sec. 165.151 and provide safety zones for the same events making 7.18
and 7.32 unnecessary. Events 8.1 Pyro-FX Entertainment Group Fireworks
and 8.2 Port Washington Sons of Italy Fireworks will be removed because
the events have not taken place in several years and are no longer
needed.
(3) Modify and Update Existing Regulated Areas
Event 5.1 Jones Beach Air Show would be modified to expand the
event area by moving the current western boundary a half mile further
to the west and the south west corner one mile further south. This is
being proposed because one of the events aerial performing groups ``The
Blue Angels'' has requested a larger area within which to perform their
aerial acrobatics. This larger area would expand the area vessels are
prohibited from entering, transiting through, remaining, anchoring or
mooring within and provide ``The Blue Angels'' a larger area to perform
their aerial acrobatics while minimizing risks to the maritime
community.
(4) Clarifying Event Time Frames and Marine Event Application
Requirements
The Coast Guard proposes to add new language to both 33 CFR 100.100
and 33 CFR 165.151. First we propose stating that sponsors for each
marine event listed in the tables must submit a marine event
application 60 days prior to the proposed event date. This language
does not create or change the submission requirements, it simply
restates the requirements of 33 CFR 100.15 making it easier for
sponsors to locate by placing it with the other event requirements. We
are proposing this language because there has been some confusion about
how early a sponsor must submit a marine event application, the goal of
this language is to eliminate that confusion.
Secondly, we propose each event listed in the table without a date
must take place during the month it is listed under. We are proposing
this to give sponsors and the public a known date range that the event
must take place within. Currently, events are listed under a specific
month such as ``June'' or ``August'' and the expectation is that the
sponsor will hold the event during the month it is listed. However,
this has never been a written standard. Adding this language provides
the sponsors and public a written standard and a chance to comment on
it. We propose one exception to these date limits, any safety zone
listed in 33 CFR 165.151 under the month of July may take place during
July or up to seven days prior to July. We are proposing this exception
to account for events that are listed under the month of July and are
proposed to closely coincide with or specifically avoid Fourth of July
celebrations. Accordingly, many of these events are planned to be held
the weekend before the Fourth of July. However, due to the annual
variations concerning the day of the week on which the holiday falls,
scheduling the event for the preceding weekend may result in the event
being held in the last week of June in some years and in July in other
years.
E. 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 or executive orders.
1. 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,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal.
Although this regulation may have some impact on the public, the
potential impact will be minimized for the following reasons: The Coast
Guard has previously promulgated regulated areas in accordance with 33
CFR parts 165, for most event areas contained within this proposed
regulation and has not received notice of any negative impact caused by
any of the regulated areas.
Vessels will only be restricted from regulated areas for a short
duration of time. Vessels may transit in portions of the affected
waterway except for those areas covered by the proposed regulated
areas. Notifications of exact dates and times of the enforcement period
will be made to the local maritime community through all appropriate
means, including but not limited to the Local Notice to Mariners,
Broadcast Notice to Mariners or through a Notice of Enforcement in the
Federal Register. No new or additional restrictions would be imposed on
vessel traffic.
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This proposed rule would affect the following entities,
some of which might be small entities: the owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in a designated regulated area
during an enforcement period.
The regulated areas will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: The
regulated areas will be of limited size and of short duration; vessels
that can safely do so may navigate in all other portions of the
waterways except for the areas designated as regulated areas; most of
these regulated areas have been promulgated in the past with no public
comments submitted. Additionally, before the effective period, the
Coast Guard will issue notice of the time and location of each
regulated area through all appropriate means including but not limited
to Local Notice to Mariners or Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
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.
3. 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. 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, above. 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.
4. Collection of Information
This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520.).
5. Federalism
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
[[Page 20280]]
power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We
have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and determined that
this rule does not have implications for federalism.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks
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.
11. 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.
12. Energy Effects
This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. 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. This proposed rule
involves the establishment of safety zones and special local
regulations. This rule may be categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g)&(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. 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.
