33 CFR Part 100
[Docket Number USCG-2017-0010]
RIN 1625-AA08
Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations Update
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its special local
regulations relating to recurring marine parades, regattas, and other
events that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area of
responsibility (AOR). This notice informs the public of regularly
scheduled events that require additional safety measures through
establishing a special local regulation. Through this notice the
current list of recurring special local regulations is updated with
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take
place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. When these special local regulations
are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on marine traffic in
specified areas. Additionally, this one proposed rulemaking project
reduces administrative costs involved in producing separate proposed
rules for each individual recurring special local regulation and serves
to provide notice of the known recurring special local regulations
throughout the year.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 26, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2017-0010 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed
rule, call or email Petty Officer James Robinson, Sector Ohio Valley,
U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (502) 779-5347, email

DHS Department of Homeland Security
E.O. Executive order
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Pub. L. Public Law
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
The Captain of the Port (COTP) Ohio Valley is proposing to
establish, amend, and update its current list of recurring special
local regulations.
These special local regulations are proposed to be added, amended,
and updated to the list of annually recurring special local regulations
under 33 CFR 100.801 in Table no. 1 for annual special local
regulations in the COTP Ohio Valley zone. The Coast Guard will address
all comments accordingly, whether through response, additional revision
to the regulation, or otherwise. Additionally, these recurring events
are provided to the public through local avenues and planned by the
local communities.
The current list of annual and recurring special local regulations
occurring in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR is published under 33 CFR part
100.801. That most recent list was created January 25, 2016 through the
rulemaking 81 FR 3976.
The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a special local
regulation is contained at 33 U.S.C. 1233. The Coast Guard is amending
and updating the special local regulations under 33 CFR part 100 to
include the most up to date list of recurring special local regulations
for events held on or around navigable waters within Sector Ohio
Valley's AOR. These events include marine parades, boat races, swim
events, and other marine related events. The current list under 33 CFR
100.801 requires amending to provide new information on existing
special local regulations, updating to include new special local
regulations expected to recur annually or biannually, and to remove
special local regulations that are no longer required. Issuing
individual regulations for each new special local regulation,
amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation creates
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single proposed
rulemaking will considerably reduce administrative overhead and
provides the public with notice through publication in the Federal
Register of the upcoming recurring special local regulations.
The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this
proposed rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary
changes can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient
manner.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
33 CFR part 100 contains regulations to provide effective control
over regattas and marine parades conducted on U.S. navigable waters in
order to ensure the safety of life in the regattas or marine parade
area. Section 100.801 provides the regulations applicable to events
taking place in the Eighth Coast Guard District and also provides a
table listing each event and special local regulation. This section
requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the recurring
special local regulations in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. This proposed
rule amends and updates Section 100.801 replacing the current Table 1
for Sector Ohio Valley.
Additionally, this proposed rule would add 12 new recurring special
local regulations and removes 06 special local regulations as follows:
12 added

under the new Table 1 for Sector Ohio Valley.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general
navigation during these events. Vessels intending to transit the
designated waterway through the special local regulations will only be
allowed to transit the area when the COTP Ohio Valley, or designated
representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the
event.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize
our analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
E.O.s 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and 13563
(``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') 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 including potential economic, environmental,
public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity.
E.O.13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to reduce regulation
and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new
regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for
elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently
managed and controlled through a budgeting process.''
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this
rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
not reviewed it.
As this rule is not a significant regulatory action, this rule is
exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB's
Memorandum titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the
Executive Order of January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, and therefore a full regulatory evaluation is
unnecessary. This proposed rule establishes special local regulations
limiting access to certain areas under 33 CFR part 100 within Sector
Ohio Valley's AOR. The effect of this proposed rulemaking will not be
significant because these special local regulations are limited in
scope and duration. Additionally, the public is given advance
notification through local forms of notice, the Federal Register,
[[Page 15176]]
and/or Notices of Enforcement and thus will be able to plan operations
around the special local regulations in advance. Deviation from the
special local regulations established through this proposed rulemaking
may be requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will be
considered on a case-by-case basis. Broadcast Notices to Mariners and
Local Notices to Mariners will also inform the community of these
special local regulations so that they may plan accordingly for these
short restrictions on transit. Vessel traffic may request permission
from the COTP Ohio Valley or a designated representative to enter the
restricted area.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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.
This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit the special local regulation areas during periods
of enforcement. The special local regulations would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
because they are limited in scope and will be in effect for short
periods of time. Before the enforcement period, the Coast Guard COTP
will issue maritime advisories widely available to waterway users.
Deviation from the special local regulations established through this
proposed rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate COTP and
requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
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 contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). 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 will 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 E.O. 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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in E.O. 13132.
Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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. If you believe this rule has
implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.
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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this 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 (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 rule is categorically excluded
under section 2.B.2, figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h) of the Instruction
because it involves establishment of special local regulations related
to marine event permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine
events. 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.
