II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    Fairchild Racing is conducting power boat races daily beginning on 
June 17, 2016 through June 19, 2016. The Coast Guard is issuing this 
temporary 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 a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this 
rule because the scheduled race event, consisting of various sized 
power vessels with at least 50 participants on the Cumberland River, 
presents potential navigational safety hazards. The Captain of the Port 
Ohio Valley (COTP) was notified of this event earlier this year and 
upon receiving and understanding all the details of the racing event, 
determined that additional safety measures are necessary to protect 
participants, spectators, and waterway users during this event. It is 
impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must establish this special 
local regulation by June 17, 2016. This rule provides for a comment 
period and comments received will be reviewed and analyzed to assist 
the Coast Guard in future rulemakings establishing similar regulatory 
requirements. The Coast Guard will notify the public and maritime 
community that this special local regulation will be in effect and of 
its enforcement periods via broadcast notices to mariners (BNM).
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30 
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective 
date of this rule would be contrary to public interest because 
immediate action is needed to establish a special local regulation to 
protect participants and spectators during the ``Thunder on the 
Cumberland'' racing event beginning on June 17, 2016.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C. 
1233. The Captain of the Port Ohio Valley (COTP) has determined that 
potential safety hazards associated with a speed-boat race on a 
navigable waterway present safety concerns for participants, 
spectators, and other person and vessels on the waterway. This rule is 
needed to protect personnel, vessels, and these navigable waters 
before, during, and after the scheduled racing event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a special local regulation which will be 
enforced from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily from June 
17, 2016 through June 19, 2016, for all waters of the Cumberland River 
beginning at mile marker 190.5 and ending at mile marker 194.0. The 
duration of the special local regulation is intended to ensure the 
safety of vessels, participants, spectators and other waterway users 
before, during, and after the scheduled event. No vessel or person 
would be permitted to enter the regulated area without obtaining 
permission from the COTP or a designated representative. The regulatory 
text for this rule appears at the end of this document.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and 
Executive order 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 13563 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 Order 12866. 
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and 
Budget.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, duration, and time-of-day of the special local regulation. 
This special local regulation restricts transit on the Cumberland River 
from mile 190.5 to mile 194.0, for 8 hours a day for three days in 
June; Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners will 
inform the community of this special local regulation and any changes 
in the planned scheduled so that they may plan accordingly for transits 
during this short restriction. Vessel traffic may request permission 
from the COTP Ohio Valley or a designated representative to enter the 
restricted area.

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 the 
special local regulated area may be small entities, for the reasons 
stated in section V.A above this rule would 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

[[Page 39186]]

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 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 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 
rule involves special local regulated area that would prohibit entry to 
unauthorized vessels. 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 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.

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.

VI. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking, 
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment 
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of future regulations 
and rulemakings. If you submit a comment, please include the docket
