RIN 1625-AA00
Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its safety zones
regulations for annual events that take place in the Coast Guard Sector
Ohio Valley area. This action is necessary to update the current list
of recurring safety zones with revisions, additional events, and
removal of events that no longer take place in Sector Ohio Valley. This
regulation restricts vessel traffic from the safety zones during the
events unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
or a designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective May 11, 2018.

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and Regulatory History
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) is amending 33
CFR 165.801 to update the table of annual fireworks displays and other
marine-related events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley. These events
include air shows, fireworks displays, and other marine related events
requiring a limited access area restricting vessel traffic for safety
purposes.
On April 3, 2018, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley
Annual and Recurring Safety Zones Update (83 FR 14226). There we stated
why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory
action related to those recurring safety zones. During the comment
period that ended on April 18, 2018, we received eight comments.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making it effective less than 30 days after publication in
the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be
impracticable and contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is necessary to respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with these marine events.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. Based on the nature of these marine events, large numbers of
participants and spectators, and event locations, the COTP has
determined that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to
participants or waterways users if the normal vessel traffic were to
interfere with the events. Possible hazards include risks of injury or
death from near or actual contact among participant vessels and
spectators or mariners traversing through the regulated area. This
purpose of this rule is to ensure the safety of all waterway users,
including event participants and spectators, during the scheduled
events.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received eight comments on our NPRM published on
April 3, 2018. Of the eight comments we received, one was unrelated to
this rulemaking and another was a duplicate. Of the six substantive
comments, one commenter was in favor of the rule, two were against the
rule, and the other three expressed confusion as to the times,
locations, effects, alternative routes, and the purpose of the safety
zones.
Of the two commenters not in favor of this rule, one stated
disagreement with regulatory action generally and one stated that local
authorities should oversee inland waterways. These comments are outside
of the scope of this final rule.
Two commenters expressed confusion over the events' times and
locations. This rule contains two tables. The first table adds 23 new
safety zones. The second table amends 31 existing safety zones. Each
table contains dates and locations for each event. The Coast Guard will
issue a notice of enforcement for each event, which will contain
specific times of enforcement of each safety zone. In addition, the
Captain of the Port or a designated representative will inform the
public through broadcast notices to mariners of the enforcement period
for the particular safety zone as well as any changes in the planned
schedule. Another commenter expressed confusion over the safety zones'
effects and alternative routes. The effects on environment, Indian
tribes, and small entities are discussed in the preamble of the rule.
In addition, the Coast Guard sought public input as to the same as well
as the effects on the protest activities. As to the alternative routes,
the rule, Sec. 165.801(d), allows persons and vessels desiring to
enter into or passage through the zone to request permission to do so
from the Captain of the Port or a designated representative. Finally,
one other commenter expressed confusion as to the purpose of the rule
and suggested that we include that it is to ensure the safety of event
locations and event participants. The Coast Guard is vested with
jurisdiction over the navigable waters of the United States and any
land structures or shore areas immediately adjacent to such waters. It
does not have the authority over land areas not immediately adjacent to
the navigable waters on which the events will occur. As such, we cannot
make the requested change. As to the protection of the event
participants, the rule does state that the safety zones are necessary
for the protection of the event participants. However, the sentence
stating the purpose of the rule inadvertently omitted that its purpose
is to also ensure the safety of the event participants. We have amended
the sentence to reflect the purpose.
There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the
proposed rule on the NPRM.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these 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
[[Page 21889]]
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 rule has not been designated as a
``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zones. These safety zones are
limited in size and duration, and are usually positioned away from high
vessel traffic areas. 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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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.
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 rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator. 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. 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.
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 rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard. 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.
C. Collection of Information
This 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 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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive
Order13132.
Also, 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. If
you believe this 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 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 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 determined that this
action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual
023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration is
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
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.
