II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On May 9, 2016, the Coast Guard published a Final Rule entitled 
Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain of 
the Port Lake Michigan Zone in the Federal Register (81 FR 28024). This 
final rule published after the Coast Guard requested public comments in 
response to a preceding NPRM in the Federal Register (81 FR 3069, 
January 20, 2016). No public meeting was requested, and none was held.
    The legal basis for this proposed rule is the Coast Guard's 
authority to establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 
160.5; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the safety zones in 33 
CFR 165.929 to ensure that they match the times, dates, and dimensions 
for various marine and triggering events that are expected to be 
conducted with the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone throughout 
the year. The purpose of the rulemaking is also to ensure vessels and 
persons are protected from the specific hazards related to the 
aforementioned events.
    These specific hazards include obstructions to the waterway that 
may cause marine casualties; collisions among vessels and collisions 
between vessels and people.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This amendment updates two permanent safety zones, adds three new 
permanent safety zones, and removes one old permanent safety zone. This 
proposed rule amends two permanent safety zones found within Table 
165.929 in 33 CFR 165.929. These two amendments involve updating the 
location, size, and/or enforcement times for: one air show in 
Milwaukee, WI and one sailing race in Chicago, Illinois.
    Additionally, this proposed rule adds three new safety zones to 
Table 165.929 within 33 CFR 165.929 for annually- reoccurring events in 
the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone. These three zones were 
added in order to protect the public from the safety hazards previously 
described. The three additions include two safety zones for boat 
parades in Milwaukee, WI, and one safety zone for a swim event in 
Milwaukee, WI. A list of specific changes and additions are available 
in the attachments within this Docket.
    This proposed rule also removes one permanent safety zone found 
within Table 165.929 in 33 CFR 165.929. The safety zone being removed 
is the Lubbers Cup Regatta listed as item (b)(2) in Table 165.929. This 
safety zone is being removed because the Lubbers Cup Regatta marine 
event was determined to no longer need a safety zone.
    The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan has determined that the 
safety zones in this proposed rule are necessary to ensure the safety 
of vessels and people during annual marine or triggering events in the 
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone. Although this proposed rule 
will be effective year- round, the safety zones in this proposed rule 
will be enforced only immediately before, during, and after events that 
pose a hazard to the public and only upon notice by the Captain of the 
Port Lake Michigan.
    The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan will notify the public that 
the zones in this proposal are or will be enforced by all appropriate 
means to the

[[Page 17342]]

affected segments of the public, including publication in the Federal 
Register, as practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a). Such 
means of notification may also include, but are not limited to, 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
    All persons and vessels must comply with the instructions of the 
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or his or her designated 
representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety 
zones is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his 
or her designated representative. The Captain of the Port or his or her 
designated representative may be contacted via VHF-FM Channel 16 or at 
(414) 747-7182.

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 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 facts that the 
safety zones created by this rule will be relatively small and 
effective during the time necessary to ensure safety of spectator and 
participants for the listed triggering or marine events. Moreover, the 
Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF- FM 
marine channel 16 about the zones, and the rule would allow vessels to 
seek permission to enter the zones.

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 
safety zones created this rule 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 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 Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which 
guides 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 the establishment of safety 
zones for yearly triggering and marine events on and around Lake 
Michigan. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further 
review under paragraph L60 (a) 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.

Sec.  165.929  Safety Zones; Annual events requiring safety zones in 
the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone.

    (a) Regulations. The following regulations apply to the safety 
zones listed in Table 165.929 of this section.
    (1) The general regulations in 33 CFR 165.23.
    (2) All vessels must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port 
Lake Michigan or his or her designated representative to enter, move 
within, or exit a safety zone established in this section when the 
safety zone is enforced. Vessels and persons granted permission to 
enter one of the safety zones listed in this section must obey all 
lawful orders or directions of the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or 
his or her designated representative. Upon being hailed by the U.S. 
Coast Guard by siren, radio, flashing light or other means, the 
operator of a vessel must proceed as directed.
    (3) The enforcement dates and times for each of the safety zones 
listed in Table 165.929 are subject to change, but the duration of 
enforcement would remain the same or nearly the same total number of 
hours as stated in the table. In the event of a change, the Captain of 
the Port Lake Michigan will provide notice to the public by publishing 
a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register, as well as, issuing a 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    (b) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    (1) Designated representative means any Coast Guard commissioned, 
warrant, or petty officer designated by the Captain of the Port Lake 
Michigan to monitor a safety zone, permit entry into a safety zone, 
give legally enforceable orders to persons or vessels within a safety 
zone, and take other actions authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake 
Michigan.
    (2) Public vessel means a vessel that is owned, chartered, or 
operated by the United States, or by a State or political subdivision 
thereof.
    (3) Rain date refers to an alternate date and/or time in which the 
safety zone would be enforced in the event of inclement weather.
    (c) Suspension of enforcement. The Captain of the Port Lake 
Michigan may suspend enforcement of any of these zones earlier than 
listed in this section. Should the Captain of the Port suspend any of 
these zones earlier than the listed duration in this section, he or she 
may make the public aware of this suspension by Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners and/or on-scene notice by his or her designated 
representative.
    (d) Exemption. Public vessels, as defined in paragraph (b) of this 
section, are exempt from the requirements in this section.
    (e) Waiver. For any vessel, the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan 
or his or her designated representative may waive any of the 
requirements of this section upon finding that operational conditions 
or other circumstances are such that application of this section is 
unnecessary or impractical for the purposes of safety or security.
