FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and Regulatory History
On April 19, 2018, the Coast Guard published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zones; Annual Events in the Captain of
the Port Buffalo Zone. There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and
invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this
amendment to the CFR. During the comment period that ended May 21,
2018, we received no comments.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The purpose of this rule is to update the safety zones in 33 CFR
165.939 to ensure accuracy of times, dates, and dimensions for various
triggering and marine events that are expected to be conducted within
the Captain of the Port Buffalo 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 in 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.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published April
19, 2018. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM.
This rule amends 12 permanent safety zones found within table
165.939 of 33 CFR 165.939. These 12 amendments involve updating the
location, size, and/or enforcement times.
Additionally, this rule adds 12 new safety zones to table 165.939
within Sec. 165.939 for annually reoccurring
[[Page 25571]]
events in the Captain of the Port Buffalo Zone. These 12 zones were
approved and published in the Federal Register as temporary safety
zones in 2017 and were added in order to protect the public from the
safety hazards previously described. A list of specific changes and
additions are available in the attachments within this Docket.
The Captain of the Port Buffalo has determined that the safety
zones in this rule are necessary to ensure the safety of vessels and
people during annual marine or triggering events in the Captain of the
Port Buffalo zone. Although this rule will be effective year-round, the
safety zones in this 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 Buffalo.
The Captain of the Port Buffalo will notify the public that the
zones in this rule 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 Buffalo 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.
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 necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination is based on the
characteristics of the safety zones. The safety zones created by this
rule will be relatively small and are designed to minimize their impact
on navigable waters. Furthermore, the safety zones have been designed
to allow vessels to transit around them. In addition, the safety zones
will have built in times to allow vessels to travel through when
situations allow. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement within each
particular area are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port.
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
V.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.
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 Order
13132.
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
[[Page 25572]]
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. This rule involves the
establishment of recurring annual safety zones. It is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A,
Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01.
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.

2. Revise Sec. 165.939 to read as follows:
Sec. 165.939 Safety Zones; Annual Events in the Captain of the Port
Buffalo Zone.
(a) Regulations. (1) In accordance with the general regulations in
Sec. 165.23 of this part, entry into, transiting, or anchoring within
this safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port Buffalo or his designated on-scene representative.
(2) These safety zones are closed to all vessel traffic, except as
may be permitted by the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his designated
on-scene representative.
(3) The ``on-scene representative'' of the Captain of the Port
Buffalo is any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant or petty officer who
has been designated by the Captain of the Port Buffalo to act on his
behalf.
(4) Vessel operators desiring to enter or operate within the safety
zone must contact the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his on-scene
representative to obtain permission to do so. The Captain of the Port
Buffalo or his on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel
16. Vessel operators given permission to enter or operate in the safety
zone must comply with all directions given to them by the Captain of
the Port Buffalo, or his on-scene representative.
(5) The enforcement dates and times for each of the safety zones
listed in Table 165.939 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 Buffalo 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 officers designated by the Captain of the Port
Buffalo 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 Buffalo.
(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 Buffalo may
suspend enforcement of any of these zones earlier than listed in this
section. Should the Captain of the Port suspend any of these zones
earlier than the listed duration in this section, he or she may make
the public aware of this suspension by Broadcast Notice to Mariners
and/or on-scene notice by his or her designated representative.
(d) Exemption. Public vessels, as defined in paragraph (b) of this
section, are exempt from the requirements in this section.
(e) Waiver. For any vessel, the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his
or her designated representative may waive any of the requirements of
this section upon finding that operational conditions or other
circumstances are such that application of this section is unnecessary
or impractical for the purposes of safety or security.
