NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
On Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 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 (80 FR 15532). We received no comments on the proposed rule.
No public meeting was requested and none was held.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after final
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying this rule would be
impracticable and contrary to the public interest because the first
scheduled marine event covered by this rule is scheduled for May. The
Coast Guard did not receive the updated information on listed events in
time to publish more than thirty days before the first events. The rule
must become effective as soon as practicable to provide for the safety
of all users of the waterway during the scheduled events.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; and Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast
Guard to establish 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
Sector Northern New England COTP 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. In the past year, events
were assessed for their likelihood to recur in subsequent years and
were added to the tables accordingly. In addition, the event titled
``5.1 Hawgs, Pies, & Fireworks'' in Gardiner, ME. was changed to ``5.1
Ride into Summer''.
This rulemaking updates the existing regulation in order to meet
the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety during these
events.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule
No comments were received and no changes have been made to the
Final Rule.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of
[[Page 27088]]
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or under section 1 of
Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under those Orders.
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. The Coast Guard is only modifying an existing
regulation to account for new information.
2. 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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. 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 Mariner's and Broadcast Notice to Mariner's
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.
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. 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 above section titled FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
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.
4. 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).
5. Federalism
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 determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. 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 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 water activities including swimming
events and fireworks displays. This rule is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraphs (34)(g) and
[[Page 27089]]
(34)(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a 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 rule.
