[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 87 (Friday, May 4, 2018)] [Proposed Rules] [Pages 19656-19659] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-09436] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 33 CFR Part 100 [Docket Number USCG-2018-0209] RIN 1625-AA08 Special Local Regulations for Marine Events, Delaware River; Philadelphia, PA AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a special local regulation on the waters of the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The regulation would restrict vessel traffic operations on a portion of the Delaware River during the Tall Ships Parade of Sail event that is taking place on May 24, 2018, from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. This regulation is necessary to protect the surrounding public and vessels from the hazards associated with a parade of sail. DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before May 11, 2018. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG- 2018-0209 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 further instructions on submitting comments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule, call or email Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Kiley Relf, U.S. Coast Guard, Sector Delaware Bay, Chief Waterways Management Division, Coast Guard; telephone (215) 271-4851, email [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [[Page 19657]] I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port 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 The sponsor for the Sail Philadelphia marine event submitted an application for a marine event permit that will take place from May 24, 2018, through May 28, 2018. The event includes a tall ships parade from noon to 6 p.m. on May 24, 2018. The COTP Delaware Bay has determined that potential hazards associated with the parade would be a safety concern for anyone intending to participate in this event or for vessels that operate within the waters where this event will be held. The purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels and persons during the tall ships' parade on the navigable waters of the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1233. III. Discussion of Proposed Rule The COTP Delaware Bay, proposes the establishment of a special local regulation on specified waters of the Delaware River, adjacent to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, bounded in the west by the Pennsylvania shoreline, bounded in the east by the eastern edge of the navigation channel, bounded in the South by the Walt Whitman Bridge, and bounded on the north by the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. In addition, the special local regulation includes all waters of the Delaware River South of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge to an east-west line from the northern end of Wiggins Marina in Camden, New Jersey, (39[deg]56'32'' N and 075[deg]07'56'' W) to the Pennsylvania shoreline. The special local regulation will be effective and enforced during the tall ships parade from noon through 6 p.m. on May 24, 2018. Access to the regulated area will be restricted during the specified date and time. A fleet of spectator vessels is anticipated to gather nearby to view the marine event. Due to the need for vessel control during the marine event, vessel traffic will temporarily be restricted to provide safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels. The Coast Guard will apply the provisions of 33 CFR 100.501(c) to the above specified locations during the enforcement period. Vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they receive permission from the designated representative. The Coast Guard will have a marine event patrol, as described in 33 CFR 100.40(a), to the event. Additionally, a Patrol Commander will be assigned to oversee the patrol. The marine event patrol and Patrol Commander may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16. During the enforcement period, the Coast Guard Patrol Commander may forbid and control the movement of all vessels in the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by the marine event patrol vessel or Patrol Commander, a vessel within the regulated area shall immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the regulated area, citation for failure to comply, or both. The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may terminate the event, or the operation of any vessel participating in the event, at any time he or she deems it necessary for the protection of life or property. Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay will notify the public by a broadcast notice to mariners at least one hour prior to the times of enforcement. Additionally a broadcast notice to marines will notify mariners of the termination of the Special Local Regulation. 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. Although this regulation will restrict access to the regulated area, the effect of this proposed rule will not be significant because: (i) The Coast Guard will make extensive notification of the regulated area to the maritime public via maritime advisories so mariners can alter their plans accordingly; (ii) vessels may still be permitted to transit through the regulated area with the permission of the designated representative on a case-by-case basis; and (iii) this rule will be enforced for only the duration of the tall ships parade, a six hour event. 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 area may be small entities, for the reasons stated above in 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 [[Page 19658]] 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 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 a special local regulation lasting less than 7 hours that would prohibit entry into portions of the Delaware River in order to promote public and maritime safety during a tall ships parade. 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. Supporting documentation 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. We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking 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. Documents mentioned in this NPRM as being available in the docket, and all public comments, will be in our online docket at http://www.regulations.gov and can be viewed by following that website's instructions.
