Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Events in
Northern New England
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
[[Page 47556]]
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is updating special local regulations and
permanent safety zones in the Coast Guard Captain of the Port Northern
New England Zone for annual recurring marine events. When these special
local regulations or safety zones are activated and subject to
enforcement this rule will restrict vessels from portions of water
areas during these annual recurring events. The revised special local
regulations and safety zones will expedite public notification of
events, and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event
participants from the hazards associated with these annual recurring
events.
DATES: This rule is effective September 5, 2013.
This rule will be enforced during dates and times specified in
TABLES 1 and 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Regulatory History and Information
On Tuesday, March 22, 2013, the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations and
Safety Zones; Recurring Events in Northern New England'' in the Federal
Register. We received no comments or requests for a public meeting on
the proposed rule.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this 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, 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 and special local regulations.
Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard
COTP Northern New England Zone. In the past, the Coast Guard has
established special local regulations, regulated areas and safety zones
for these annual recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these events. The Coast Guard has not received
public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic
from these annually recurring events.
This rulemaking updates the existing regulation in order to meet
the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety during these
events.
C. Background
The Coast Guard is amending 33 CFR 100.120 (Special Local
Regulations) and 33 CFR 165.171 (Safety Zones).
The rule updates the list of annual recurring events listed in the
attached TABLES in the Coast Guard COTP Northern New England Zone. The
TABLES provide the event name, sponsor, and type, as well as
approximate dates and locations of the events. The specific times,
dates, regulated areas, and enforcement period for each event will be
provided through the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners or through a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal
Register.
D. Discussion of the Final Rule and Comments
The Coast Guard did not receive any comments in response to the
NPRM published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, March 22, 2013.
Therefore, the Coast Guard did not change anything in the final
regulation because there were no comments.
E. Regulatory Analyses
The Coast Guard developed this proposed rule after considering
numerous statutes and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we
summarize our analyses based on these statutes or executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This 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, 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 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 is
only modifying an existing regulation to account for new information.
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this 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 rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where the listed annual recurring
events are being held.
The rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: vessels
will only be restricted from safety zones and special local regulation
areas for a short duration of time; vessels may transit in portions of
the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the regulated
areas; and notifications will be made to the local maritime community
through the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners
well in advance of the events. In addition, this action is only
modifying an existing rule which, in and of itself, did not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
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.
[[Page 47557]]
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 rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule
affects your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction
and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
4. Collection of Information
This rule calls for no 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 State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.
6. 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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
7. Taking of Private Property
This rule will 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.
8. Civil Justice Reform
This 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.
9. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
10. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does 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.
11. Energy Effects
We have analyzed this 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 require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
12. 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 rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
13. Environment
We have analyzed this 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 concluded
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(g)
and (34)(h) of the Instruction since it involves establishment of
safety zones for marine related fireworks events and special local
regulations for regattas, respectively. An environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
