B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to 
establish special local regulations: 33 U.S.C. 1233. The purpose of the 
proposed rule is to ensure safety of life and property on the navigable 
waters of the United States during the Southeast Drag Boat 
Championships.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Starting July 24, 2015, through July 26, 2015, the Southeast Drag 
Boat Championships plans to hold a series of high-speed boat races. The 
event will be held on a portion of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway 
in Bucksport, South Carolina. Approximately 50 high-speed race boats 
are anticipated to participate in the races.
    The proposed rule would establish a special local regulation that 
encompasses certain waters of the Intracoastal Waterway in Bucksport, 
South Carolina. The special local regulation would be effective from 
July 24, 2015, through July 26, 2015, and enforced from 10 a.m. until 6 
p.m. on each of those days. The special local regulation would consist 
of a regulated area around vessels participating in the event. The 
regulated area would be as follows: 200 ft. off of Bucksport Marinas 
pier center channel between Daybeacon 35 (LLNR 33835), and 100 yards 
south of light 38 (LLNR 33845). Persons and vessels, except those 
participating in the race, would be prohibited from entering, 
transiting through, anchoring, or remaining within the regulated area 
unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston or 
a designated representative. Persons and vessels would be able to 
request authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain 
within the regulated area by contacting the Captain of the Port 
Charleston by telephone at (843) 740-7050, or a designated 
representative via VHF radio on channel 16. If authorization to enter, 
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area is 
granted by the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated 
representative, all persons and vessels receiving such authorization 
would be required to comply with the instructions of the Captain of the 
Port Charleston or a designated representative. The Coast Guard would 
provide notice of the regulated areas by Local Notice to Mariners, 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and on-scene designated representatives.

D. 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 these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under 
section 3(f) of 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. The economic impact of 
this proposed rule is not significant for the following reasons: (1) 
The special local

[[Page 27618]]

regulation would be enforced for only eight hours a day over a three-
day period; (2) although persons and vessels would not be able to 
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area 
without authorization from the Captain of the Port Charleston or a 
designated representative, they would be able to operate in the 
surrounding area during the enforcement periods; (3) persons and 
vessels would still be able to enter, transit through, anchor in, or 
remain within the regulated area if authorized by the Captain of the 
Port Charleston or a designated representative; and (4) the Coast Guard 
would provide advance notification of the regulated area to the local 
maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners.

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 certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this 
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities: This proposed rule may affect the 
following entities, some of which may be small entities: the owners or 
operators of vessels intending to enter, transit through, anchor in, or 
remain within that portion of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway 
encompassed within the regulated area from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. from 
July 24, 2015, through July 26, 2015. For the reasons discussed in the 
Regulatory Planning and Review section above, this proposed rule would 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    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.

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 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, above. 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.

4. 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.).

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 proposed 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 proposed rule would not 
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule 
elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, 
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not 
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might 
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we 
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. 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 which do not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule 
involves establishing a special local regulation issued in conjunction 
with a regatta or marine parade that will be enforced from 10:00 a.m. 
until 6:00 p.m. on July 24, 2015 through July 26, 2015. This rule is 
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of 
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant

[[Page 27619]]

Instruction. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the 
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed 
rule.
