II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to amend 
33 CFR 100.801 to update the table of annual recurring special local 
regulations in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley. The current list of 
annual and recurring special local regulations occurring in Sector Ohio 
Valley is published in Table 1 of 33 CFR part 100.801. The table was 
created through the final rule published on June 2, 2017 (82 FR 25511). 
It needs to be amended to include new regattas and marine events 
expected to recur annually or biannually, remove special local 
regulations no longer recurring, and provide new information on 
existing special local regulations.
    The proposed annually recurring special local regulations are 
necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during 
the events. Based on the nature of these marine events, large numbers 
of participants and spectators, and event locations, the COTP has 
determined that the events listed in this proposed rule could pose a 
risk to participants or waterways users if the normal vessel traffic 
were to interfere with the events. Possible hazards include risks of 
injury or death from near or actual contact among participant vessels 
and spectators or mariners traversing through the regulated area. In 
order to protect the safety of all waterway users, including event 
participants and spectators, this proposed rule would establish special 
local regulations for the time and location of each marine event. 
Vessels would not be permitted to enter the regulated areas unless 
authorized by the COTP or a designated representative. The Coast Guard 
proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1233.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) with a 15-day prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant 
to section (d)(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 
553(d)). This provision authorizes an agency to publish a rule in less 
than 30 days before its effective date for ``good cause found and 
published with the rule.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard 
finds that good cause exists for publishing this NPRM with a 15-day 
comment period because it is impractical to provide a 30-day comment 
period. These proposed regulated areas are necessary to ensure the 
safety of vessels and persons during the marine events. It is 
impracticable to publish an NPRM with a 30-day comment period because 
we must establish some of these updates as early as the end of April 
2018. A 15-day comment period would allow the Coast Guard to provide 
for public notice and comment, but also update the regulated areas soon 
enough that the length of the notice and comment period does not 
compromise public safety.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to amend its special local regulations for annual 
events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley listed in Table 1 of 33 CFR 
165.801. This section requires amendment from time to time to properly 
reflect the recurring special local regulations in Sector Ohio Valley. 
This rule would add 17 new recurring special local regulations, remove 
9 special local regulations no longer recurring, and amend the event/
sponsor, dates, and/or regulated areas for 48 recurring special local 
regulations already listed in the current table. Other than these 17 
additions, 9 removals, and 48 changes to the event/sponsor, dates, and/
or locations of certain events, the regulations of 33 CFR 100.801 and 
other provisions in Table 1 of Sec.  100.801 remain unchanged.
    The Coast Guard proposes to revise special local regulations in 33 
CFR 100.801 Table 1 by adding 17 new special local regulations. The 17 
special local regulations being added to Table 1 are below:

specified period of time of annual events listed. In accordance with 
the regulations listed in 33 CFR 100.801(a)-(j), entry into these 
safety zones is prohibited unless authorized by the COTP or a 
designated representative. The regulatory text of the updated Table 1 
of Sec.  100.801 we are proposing appears at the end of this document.

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 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 13771 directs agencies to reduce 
regulation and control regulatory costs through a budgeting process.
    This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant regulatory 
action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not 
been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and 
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements of 
Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, and duration of the special local regulations. These areas 
are limited in size and duration, and usually do not affect high vessel 
traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice 
to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the areas, and the rule 
would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the areas.

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 the 
regulated areas 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 proposed 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 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 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 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

[[Page 14224]]

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 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 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 (NEPA)(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. Normally such actions are 
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L61 of 
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A 
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this 
determination 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

    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.

Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be 
submitted using http://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate 
instructions.
    We accept anonymous comments. All comments received will be posted 
without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any 
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and the 
docket, visit http://www.regulations.gov/privacyNotice.
