SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking Sec. Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis Sail Boston, Inc. is sponsoring Sail Boston 2017, which has been designated a Marine Event of National Significance by the U.S. Coast Guard. Scheduled events will occur between June 16, 2017 and June 22, 2017 in the Port of Boston. Scheduled events will consist of Tall Ships in a parade of sail into Boston Harbor on June 17, 2017, public tours of U.S. Navy vessels and Tall Ships, and a U.S. Navy Blue Angels aerial demonstration. Tall ships will depart Boston on June 22, 2017 for the restart of the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta. The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels and spectators in the vicinity of the Port of Boston, before, during, and after the scheduled events. The Coast Guard estimates 1,000 spectator craft will attend Sail Boston 2017 events. The proposed regulations would create temporary spectator anchorage regulations, vessel movement control measures, a safety zone around each Tall Ship while anchored, transiting, and moored, and a safety zone for the restart of the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta. The proposed regulations would be in effect at various times in the Port of Boston between June 16, 2017 and June 22, 2017. Vessel congestion, due to the anticipated large number of participating and spectator vessels, poses a significant threat to the safety of life. This rule provides for the safety of life on navigable waters and to protect the participating Tall Ships, private vessels, spectators, and the Port of Boston during these events. The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authorities in 33 U.S.C. 1233 through 1236; 49 CFR 1.46; 33 CFR 100.35, 33 U.S.C. 471; 33 U.S.C. 1221 through 1236, 2030, 2035, 2071; 49 CFR 1.46 and 33 CFR 1.05-1(g), 33 U.S.C. 1225 and 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 49 CFR 1.46 and 33 CFR 1.05-1(G), 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5. III. Discussion of Proposed Rule Sail Boston, Inc is planning to host the Tall Ships involved in the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta in the Port of Boston. The Port of Boston will be the only U.S. Port that the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta will visit. The event will commence with a parade of sail into Boston Harbor on June 17, 2017, with the participating Tall Ships mooring in various berths throughout the Port of Boston until their departure on June 22, 2017. Upon their departure on June 22, 2017, the Tall Ships will transit to a position approximately 5 nautical miles east of Rockport, MA for the restart of the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta. At the time of this notice, Sail Boston 2017 events are expected to include the following: 1. June 16 and June 17: 100-yard safety zone surrounding each participating Tall Ship while anchored in Broad Sound; 2. June 17: 1000-yard safety zone ahead and astern and 100-yards on each side of participating Tall Ships during the Parade of Sail; 3. June 16 and June 17: Temporary spectator anchorages in effect for viewing the Parade of Tall Ships occurring on June 17, 2017; 4. June 17 through June 22: U.S. Navy Vessels and multiple Tall Ships moored in various locations throughout the Port of Boston; [[Page 15015]] 5. June 17: U.S. Navy Blue Angels aerial demonstration; 6. June 17 through June 22: 25-yard safety zone around all moored Tall Ships involved in the event; 7. June 17 through June 22: Public tours of U.S. Navy vessels and Tall Ships; 8. June 17 through June 22: Vessel movement control measures in effect; 9. June 22: Safety zone established approximately 5-nautical miles east of Rockport, MA for the restart of the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta. Temporary Spectator Anchorages The Coast Guard proposes to add temporary section 110.T01-0949 to establish thirteen temporary spectator anchorages for spectator craft for the arrival of the participating Tall Ships on June 16, 2017 and the Sail Boston 2017 Parade of Tall Ships on June 17, 2017. This proposal also includes the temporary suspension of 33 CFR 110.138, the Boston Harbor, Massachusetts anchorage ground, during the periods the new spectator anchorages and regulations are temporarily established. The proposed anchorage regulations would temporarily establish spectator anchorages for recreational, special use, fishing, and commercial vessels during the Sail Boston 2017 Parade of Tall Ships. The Coast Guard proposes to establish these temporary spectator anchorages in the vicinity of Boston North Channel, Long Island, Deer Island, President Roads, and Boston Inner Harbor. The applicable dates and times for the proposed temporary spectator anchorages are from 8:00 a.m. on June 16 through 4:00 p.m. on June 17, 2017. On June 17, 2017, following the Parade of Sail, vessel operators may depart from their respective anchorages in sequence with the movement and mooring of the final flotilla of tall ships. After the final flotilla of tall ships has passed Castle Island, vessel operators anchored in spectator anchorages east of Castle Island may depart for locations outside of Boston Harbor. After the final flotilla of tall ships has safely moored, vessel operators may depart from the remaining established spectator anchorages. Vessels transiting through Boston Harbor must proceed as directed by the Captain of the Port (COTP), Sector Boston or the COTP's representative on scene. Special Local Regulations In 1992, 2000, 2009, and 2012, similar events, including Sail Boston 1992, 2000, 2009, and War of 1812 in 2012, drew several hundred thousand spectators by land, as well as water, to Boston Harbor. Recognizing the significant amount of recreational boating traffic this event is expected to draw, the Coast Guard proposes to establish a special local regulation that would create vessel movement control measures in Boston Harbor that will be in effect during the entirety of the Sail Boston 2017 event. This section would be designated as section 100.T01-0949. This proposed special local regulation is needed to control vessel movement in order to facilitate timely law enforcement support vessels access to Maritime and transportation facilities. Additionally, the regulated areas will protect the maritime public and participating vessels from possible hazards to navigation associated with dense vessel traffic. The proposed local regulation for vessel movement control establishes a counter-clockwise traffic pattern around Boston Inner Harbor to ensure spectator vessels are following an organized route, facilitating the smooth flow of boating traffic, thereby minimizing disruption on the waterway. A Coast Guard Patrol Commander (PATCOM) will be on-scene controlling the flow of traffic. The waterway between the World Trade Center Pier and the Fish Pier does not constitute an area large enough for unhindered navigation. Due to the navigation restrictions in this waterway, when vessels over 125 feet enter this area, on-scene patrol personnel will halt the flow of vessel traffic and allow no other vessel to enter the channel until the larger vessel is clear of the narrow channel. Due to concerns of tenants at the World Trade Center Pier and the Fish Pier, waterside viewing hours for Tall Ships berthed at these facilities will be limited to times specified in the regulatory text, outside of which only vessels which are tenants within the channels of the World Trade Center Pier and the Fish Pier will be authorized access. Safety Zones The Coast Guard is proposing to establish safety zones in section 165.T01-0949. On June 16, 2017, tall ships participating in the parade of sail will rally in Broad Sound. The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a 100-yard safety zone surrounding participating Tall Ships while they are anchored in Broad Sound. The regulation would be enforced from June 16 to June 17. The Coast Guard is proposing to establish 1000-yard safety zones ahead and astern and 100-yards on each side of participating Tall Ships, during their transit from their anchorages in Broad Sound to the start of the parade of sail and during the parade of sail into Boston Harbor. This would be enforced on June 17, 2017. The Coast Guard is proposing to establish 25-yard safety zones surrounding participating Tall Ships while moored. The proposed regulations would be in effect on June 16, 2017. These restrictions are expected to minimize the risks associated with the large number of recreational vessels anticipated to be operating within the confines of Boston Inner Harbor during the event. The high density of spectators, in conjunction with the daily commercial deep draft vessel traffic, poses a significant threat to the safety of life and property. Additionally, The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a 3000-yard by 2000-yard safety zone approximately 5 nautical miles east of Rockport, MA for the restart of the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta. This proposed regulation would be in enforced on June 22, 2017 from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Though we do not anticipate many spectator vessels for the restart of the regatta, this safety zone is necessary to minimize the risks associated with multiple tall ships maneuvering and preparing for the restart of the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta in a confined area. IV. 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 and Executive orders and we discuss First Amendment Rights of protestors. A. Regulatory Planning and Review Executive Orders 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and 13563 (``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') 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 (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to reduce regulation and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be [[Page 15016]] identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process.'' The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not reviewed it. As this rule is not a significant regulatory action, this rule is exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB's Memorandum titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the Executive Order of January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017). We expect the adverse economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal. Although this regulation may have some adverse impact on the public, the potential impact will be minimized for the following reasons: Although this regulation imposes temporary spectator anchorages, traffic control measures, and safety zones in portions of Boston Harbor during the events, the effect of this regulation will not be significant for the following reasons: Vessels needing to depart the temporary spectator anchorages may do so with permission from the COTP's designated on-scene representative and vessels will have sufficient transit room around the outer edge of the designated anchorages. The traffic control measures are confined to areas of minimal distance, they follow the natural flow of Boston Harbor traffic, they are in compliance with the navigational rules of the road, and crossovers have been established for vessels wanting to change direction. The 25-yard safety zone around participating Tall Ships while moored will have no impact to vessel movement in Boston Harbor and will only be in place during the 5 days of Sail Boston activities. Sail Boston, Inc. over the past 6 months has held multiple public meetings discussing Sail Boston 2017 events and during each meeting, these proposals have been discussed. An extensive advance notice will be made to mariners via appropriate means, which may include broadcast notice to mariners, local notice to mariners, facsimile, marine safety information bulletin, local Port Operators Group meetings, Harbor Safety Committee meetings, the Internet, USCG Sector Boston Homeport Web page, handouts, and local newspapers and media. The advance notice will permit mariners to adjust their plans accordingly. Similar restrictions were established for other Sail Boston events in 1992, 2000, 2009, and War of 1812 in 2012. Based upon the Coast Guard's experiences from those previous events of similar magnitude, these proposed regulations have been narrowly tailored to impose the least impact on maritime interests while providing the necessary level of safety. 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 proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit Boston Harbor may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator. 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. 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 Section. 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 proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 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. If you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT Section. 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 proposed rule would not result in such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. F. 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 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves suspending permanent anchorages, proposing temporary spectator anchorages, establishing temporary safety zones, and traffic control measures to facilitate the safety of all vessels participating, watching the Parade of Tall Ships and the viewing of the moored Tall Ships during the Sail Boston 2017 event. Such actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraphs 34(4), (g), and (h) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary [[Page 15017]] environmental analysis checklist and 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 proposed 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. V. 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 this rulemaking. If you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or recommendation.

(3) From 4:00 p.m. on June 17, 2017 through 8:00 a.m. on June 22, 2017, vessel control measures will be implemented. The traffic pattern will be in a counterclockwise rotation, such that all vessels shall stay generally as far to the starboard side of the channel as is safe and practicable. (4) To facilitate commercial ferry traffic with minimal disruption, commercial ferries within the regulated area, moving between stops on their normal routes, will be exempt from the mandatory counterclockwise traffic pattern. This exemption does not give ferries navigational precedence or in any way alter their responsibilities under the Rules of the Road or any other pertinent regulations. (5) Vessel operators transiting the waterway between the World Trade Center and Fish Pier must enter and keep to the starboard side of the channel, proceeding as directed by the on-scene COTP's representative. Vessel traffic shall move in a counterclockwise direction around a turning point as marked by an appropriate on-scene COTP's representative. (6) Vessel operators transiting this area must maintain at least a twenty five (25) yard safe distance from all participating Sail Boston Tall Ships and must make way for all deep draft vessel traffic underway in the area. (7) When a vessel greater than 125 feet enters the waterway between the World Trade Center and the Fish Pier, no other vessel will be allowed to enter until the larger vessel departs that area, unless authorized by the on-scene COTP's representative. (8) From 10:00 p.m. through 8:00 a.m. daily, while the regulated area is in effect, only vessels which are tenants within the channels of the World Trade Center and the Fish Pier will be authorized access. (9) The COTP may control the movement of all vessels operating on the navigable waters of Boston Harbor when the COTP has determined that such orders are justified in the interest of safety by reason of weather, visibility, sea conditions, temporary port congestion, or other temporary hazards circumstance. (10) To obtain permissions required by this regulation, individuals may reach the COTP or a COTP representative via VHF channel 16 or [[Page 15018]] 617-223-5757 (Sector Boston Command Center).
