Special Local Regulations; Marine Events Held in the Sector Long
Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing two special local regulations
for two separate marine events within the Coast Guard Sector Long
Island Sound (LIS) Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. This temporary
final rule is necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable
waters during these events. Entry into, transit through, mooring or
anchoring within these regulated areas is prohibited unless authorized
by COTP Sector Long Island Sound.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from 12:01 a.m. on
June 7, 2016 until 5 p.m. on June 12, 2016. For the purposes of
enforcement, actual notice will be used from the date the rule was
signed, 18 May, 2016, until June 7, 2016.

I. Table of Abbreviations

COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
NAD 83 North American Datum 1983

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

This rulemaking establishes two special local regulations for one
regatta and one air show. Each event and its corresponding regulatory
history are discussed below.
Jones Beach (Air Show): A special local regulation was established
in 2015 for the Jones Beach Air Show event when the Coast Guard issued
a final rule entitled, ``Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones;
Marine Events held in the Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port
Zone''. This rulemaking was published on May 18, 2015 in the Federal
Register (80 FR 28176).
The Harvard-Yale Regatta is a reoccurring marine event with
regulatory history and is cited in 33 CFR 100.100(1.1). This event has
been included in this rule due to deviation from the cite date.
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM with respect to this rule
because doing so would be impracticable and contrary to the public
interest. There is insufficient time to publish an NPRM, take public
comments, and issue a final rule before these events take place. Thus,
waiting for a comment period to run would inhibit the Coast Guard's
mission to keep the ports and waterways safe.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), and for the same reasons stated in the
preceding paragraph, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1233.
The COTP Sector LIS has determined that the special local
regulations established by this temporary final rule are necessary to
provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during these
events.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

This rule establishes two special local regulations for one regatta
and one air show. The locations of these regulated areas are as
follows:

[[Page 36466]]

Special Local Regulations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.................................... Jones Beach Air Show... Location: There will be three areas created for
the special local regulation. The first area,
``No Entry Area'', is on the navigable waterway
located along the south shore of Jones Beach
State Park. The second area, ``Slow/No Wake
Area'', is located on the navigable waterway
between Meadowbrook State Parkway and Wantagh
State Parkway. The third area, ``No Southbound
Traffic Area'', in the navigable waters of
Zach's Bay.
2.................................... Harvard-Yale Regatta... Location: All waters of the Thames River at New
London, Connecticut, between the Penn Central
Draw Bridge 41[deg]21'46.94'' N.
072[deg]5'14.46'' W. to Bartlett Cove
41[deg]25'35.9'' N. 072[deg]5'42.89'' W. (NAD
83).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This rule establishes additional vessel movement rules within areas
specifically under the jurisdiction of the special local regulations
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the COTP or
designated representative.

V. 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 order 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 Order13563 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
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget. The Coast Guard determined that this rulemaking is not a
significant regulatory action for the following reasons: (1) The
enforcement of these regulated areas will be relatively short in
duration, (2) persons or vessels desiring entry into the ``No Entry''
area or a deviance from the stipulations within the ``Slow/No Wake
Area'' may be authorized to do so by the COTP Sector Long Island Sound
or designated representative, may do so with permission from the COTP
Sector LIS or a designated representative; (3) vessels can operate
within the regulated area provided they do so in accordance with the
regulation and (4) before the effective period, public notifications
will be made to local mariners through appropriate means, which may
include the Local Notice to Mariners as well as Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.

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 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
these regulated areas 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.
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 proposed 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 Orders
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 above.

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

[[Page 36467]]

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. This temporary rule involves the establishment of two
regulated areas. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination will be 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.

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.
