NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
On February 18, 2015, the Coast Guard published a final rule
entitled Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone in the Federal Register (80 FR
8536). This final rule published after the Coast Guard requested public
comments in response to a preceding NPRM in the Federal Register (79 FR
77415, December 24, 2014). No public meeting was requested, and none
was held.
The legal basis for this proposed rule is the Coast Guard's
authority to establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 33 CFR 1.05-1,
160.5; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the safety zones in
Sec. 165.929 to ensure that they match the times, dates, and
dimensions for various marine and triggering events that are expected
to be conducted with the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone
throughout the year. The purpose of the rulemaking is also to ensure
vessels and persons are protected from the specific hazards related to
the aforementioned events. These specific hazards include obstructions
to the waterway that may cause marine casualties; collisions among
vessels maneuvering at a high speed within a channel; the explosive
dangers involved in pyrotechnics and hazardous cargo; and flaming/
falling debris into the water that may cause injuries.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This proposed rule amends 18 permanent safety zones found within
table 165.929 in 33 CFR 165.929. These 18 amendments involve updating
the location, size, and/or enforcement times for: 11 fireworks displays
in various locations; 1 regatta in Spring Lake, Michigan; 3 Air Shows;
1 Facility in Marinette, Wisconsin; 1 boat race from Chicago, Illinois;
and 1 ski show in Sister Bay, Wisconsin.
Additionally, this proposed rule adds 3 new safety zones to table
165.929 within Sec. 165.929 for annually-reoccurring events in the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone. These 3 zones were added in
order to protect the public from the safety hazards previously
described. The 3 additions include 2 safety zones for fireworks
displays, and 1 safety zone for a boat parade in Chicago Harbor,
Chicago, Illinois. A list of specific changes and additions are
available in the attachments within this Docket.
The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan has determined that the
safety zones in this proposed rule are necessary to ensure the safety
of vessels and people during annual marine or triggering events in the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone. Although this proposed rule
will be effective year-round, the safety zones in this proposed rule
will be enforced only immediately before, during, and after events that
pose a hazard to the public and only upon notice by the Captain of the
Port Lake Michigan.
The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan will notify the public that
the zones in this proposal are or will be enforced by all appropriate
means to the affected segments of the public, including publication in
the Federal Register, as practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR
165.7(a). Such means of notification may also include, but are not
limited to, Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
All persons and vessels must comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or his or her designated
representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety
zones is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
or her designated representative. The Captain of the Port or his or her
designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.
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 the 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. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. 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.
We conclude that this proposed rule is not a significant regulatory
action because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the
economy, will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely
alter the budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise
any novel legal or policy issues. The safety zones created by this rule
will be relatively small and effective during the time to ensure safety
of spectator and participants for the listed triggering or marine
events. 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.
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
safety zone 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.
[[Page 3071]]
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.
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
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 contact 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 effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.
F. 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 (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 for yearly triggering and marine events
on and around Lake Michigan. Normally such actions are categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. An environmental analysis checklist
and Categorical Exclusion Determination are 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.
G. 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.
V. Public Participation and Request for Comments
We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.

(a) Regulations. The following regulations apply to the safety
zones listed in Table 165.929 of this section.
(1) The general regulations in 33 CFR 165.23.
(2) All vessels must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port
Lake Michigan or his or her designated representative to enter, move
within, or exit a safety zone established in this section when the
safety zone is enforced. Vessels and persons granted permission to
enter one of the safety zones listed in this section must obey all
lawful orders or directions of the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or
his or her designated representative. Upon
[[Page 3072]]
being hailed by the U.S. Coast Guard by siren, radio, flashing light or
other means, the operator of a vessel must proceed as directed.
(3) The enforcement dates and times for each of the safety zones
listed in Table 165.929 are subject to change, but the duration of
enforcement would remain the same or nearly the same total number of
hours as stated in the table. In the event of a change, the Captain of
the Port Lake Michigan will provide notice to the public by publishing
a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register, as well as, issuing a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
(b) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
(1) Designated representative means any Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer designated by the Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan to monitor a safety zone, permit entry into a safety zone,
give legally enforceable orders to persons or vessels within a safety
zone, and take other actions authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan.
(2) Public vessel means a vessel that is owned, chartered, or
operated by the United States, or by a State or political subdivision
thereof.
(3) Rain date refers to an alternate date and/or time in which the
safety zone would be enforced in the event of inclement weather.
(c) Suspension of enforcement. The Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan may suspend enforcement of any of these zones earlier than
