SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) amends 33 CFR 
100.801 to update the table of annual recurring special local 
regulations in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley. These events include air 
shows, regattas, and other marine related events requiring a limited 
access area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes.
    On April 3, 2018, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley 
Annual and Recurring Special Local Regulations Update (83 FR 14219). 
During the comment period that ended on April 18, 2018, we received two 
comments.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause 
exists for making it effective less than 30 days after publication in 
the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be 
impracticable and contrary to the public interest because immediate 
action is necessary to respond to the potential safety hazards 
associated with these marine events.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C. 
1233. Based on the nature of these marine events, large numbers of 
participants and spectators, and event locations, the COTP has 
determined that the potential hazards associated with the events listed 
in this 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. This purpose of this rule is to ensure the safety 
of all waterway users, including event participants, spectators, and 
vessels during these scheduled events.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received two comments on our NPRM published 
April 3, 2018. Both comments were unrelated to the subject matter of 
this rulemaking. There is one technical amendment that changes the 
table heading in regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule on 
the NPRM.
    This rule amends the special local regulations for annual events in 
Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility as listed in 
Table 1 of 33 CFR 165.801 by adding 17 new recurring special local 
regulations, removing 9 special local regulations no longer recurring, 
and amending t names of events/sponsors, dates, and/or the locations of 
regulated areas for 48 recurring special local regulations already 
listed in the current table. Although this regulation would be in 
effect year-round, the specific special local regulations listed in 
Table 1 of 33 CFR 100.801 would only be enforced during the specified 
period of time of annual events listed. In accordance with the 
regulations listed in 33 CFR 100.801(a)-(j), entry into these regulated 
areas is prohibited unless authorized by the COTP or a designated 
representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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 rule has not been 
designated as a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive 
Order 12866. Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget, 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 will issue a Broadcast Notice 
to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the regulated areas, and 
the rule allows 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 received no comments from the Small Business 
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 
U.S.C. 605(b) that this 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 zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section 
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any 
vessel owner or operator. 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 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.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal 
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal 
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory 
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory 
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and 
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to 
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR 
(1-888-734-3247). The

[[Page 22196]]

Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or 
complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This 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 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 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 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 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 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 determined 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 Record of Environmental Consideration 
supporting this determination is available in the docket where 
indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

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.
