determine that one would aid this rulemaking, we will hold one at a 
time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this rulemaking is the Coast Guard's authority 
to establish regulated navigation areas and other limited access areas: 
33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, and 160.5; 
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of the rule is to ensure the safety of life and vessels 
on a navigable waterway of the United States during the Intermedix 
IRONMAN 70.3 event.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish this safety zone to protect 
the lives of those near the Savannah River during the Intermedix 
Ironman 70.3 event. Approximately 3,600 participants will be swimming 
one mile on the Savannah River from the 5th Street Marina, river mile 
197, to the Boathouse at river mile 198.
    The safety zone will cover all waters from river mile 197 to river 
mile 198. During the swim portion of the event, no vessel may enter, 
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone unless 
authorized by the COTP Savannah or a designated representative. This 
proposed rule would be effective on September 27, 2015 from 7:30 a.m. 
until 11 a.m., or until all swimmers are out of the water.
    Persons or vessels desiring to enter, transit through, anchor in, 
or remain within the safety zone may contact the Captain of the Port 
Savannah by telephone at (912) 652-4353, or a designated representative 
via VHF radio on channel 16, to request authorization. If authorization 
to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone 
is granted by the Captain of the Port Savannah or a designated 
representative, all persons and vessels receiving such authorization 
must comply with the instructions of the Captain of the Port Savannah 
or a designated representative. The Coast Guard will provide notice of 
the safety zones by Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and on-scene 
designated representatives.
    The COTP Savannah or a designated representative will inform the 
public through broadcast notice to mariners of the enforcement periods 
for this safety zone.

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 these statutes and 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 rule is not significant for the 
following reasons: (1) The safety zone will only be effective for three 
and one-half hours and it will only be enforced during the Intermedix 
IRONMAN 70.3 event; (2) although non-participant persons and vessels 
will not be able to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within 
the event area without authorization from the Captain of the Port 
Savannah or a designated representative, they may operate in the 
surrounding area during the enforcement period; (3) non-participant 
persons and vessels may still enter, transit through, anchor in, or 
remain within the event area during the enforcement period if 
authorized by the Captain of the Port Savannah or a designated 
representative; and (4) the Coast Guard will provide advance 
notification of the safety zone to the local maritime community by 
Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    Notifications of the enforcement periods of this safety zone will 
be made to the marine community through broadcast notice to mariners. 
Representatives of the COTP will be on-scene to coordinate the 
movements of vessels seeking to enter the safety zone. These 
representatives will authorize vessel transits into the zone to the 
maximum safely allowable during the Intermedix IRONMAN 70.3.

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 for the following reasons: (1) The COTP 
Savannah may consider granting vessels permission to enter into the 
safety zone if conditions allow for such transit to be conducted 
safely, and (2) the safety zone will only be enforced during the event.

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 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section above.
    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 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.

[[Page 45629]]

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 proposed 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 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

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, 
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks. This proposed 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 proposed 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 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 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 the creation of a temporary safety 
zone. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph 
(34)(g) and paragraph (35)(a), of the 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.
