Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine
Events Held in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of
the Port Zone
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to update the special local
regulations and permanent safety zones in Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England Captain of the Port Zone for annual recurring marine
events. When enforced, these proposed special local regulations and
safety zones would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during
certain annually recurring events. The proposed special local
regulations and safety zones are intended to expedite public
notification and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event
participants from the hazards associated with certain maritime events.
We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 15, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2016-0998 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
instructions on submitting comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed
rulemaking, call or email Chief Marine Science Technician Chris Bains,

NAD 83 North American Datum of 1983
Pub. L. Public Law
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard
Sector Northern New England COTP Zone. The Coast Guard has established
special local regulations, regulated areas, and safety zones for these
annual recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these events. In the past, the Coast Guard has
not received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to
waterway traffic from the Coast Guard's regulations associated with
these annually recurring events. Known events were assessed for their
likelihood to recur in subsequent years or to discontinue, and were
added to or deleted from the tables accordingly. In addition, minor
changes to existing events were made to ensure the accuracy of event
details. The purpose of this rulemaking is to reduce administrative
overhead, expedite public notification of events, and ensure the
protection of the maritime public during marine events in the Sector
Northern New England area.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed rule would update the tables of annual recurring
events in the existing regulation for the Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England COTP Zone, deleting outdated zones and providing updated
information on dates, times, and locations. The tables provide the
event name, sponsor, and type, as well as approximate times, dates, and
locations of the events. Advanced public notification of specific
times, dates, regulated areas, and enforcement periods for each event
will be provided through appropriate means, which may include, but are
not limited to, the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners, or a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal Register
at least 30 days prior to the event date. If an event does not have a
date and time listed in this regulation, then the precise dates and
times of the enforcement period for that event will be announced
through a Local Notice to Mariners and, if time permits, a Notice of
Enforcement in the Federal Register.
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
E.O.s 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.
E.O. 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
[[Page 17783]]
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 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
proposed 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 proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action, this
proposed 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 economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal.
This regulation may have an impact on the general public, but that
potential impact will likely be minimized for the following reason: The
Coast Guard is only modifying an existing regulation to account for
updated information.
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 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
safety zones or special local regulations 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, 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.
C. 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).
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 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 proposed rule would not
result in such an 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 water
activities including swimming events and fireworks displays and may be
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g)(Safety
Zones) and (34)(h)(Special Local Regulations) of Figure 2-1 of
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary environmental analysis
checklist is 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
