COTP Captain of the Port

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

On April 9, 2018, Kathleen Wilson notified the Coast Guard that she
will be sponsoring the Swim Around Charleston on September 16, 2018 and
would impact waters of the Wando River, Cooper River, Charleston
Harbor, and Ashley River, in Charleston, South Carolina. The legal
basis for the proposed rule is the Coast Guard's authority to establish
a safety zone is 33 U.S.C. 1231. The purpose of the proposed rule is to
ensure safety of life on the navigable waters of the Wando River,
Cooper River, Charleston Harbor, and Ashley River, in Charleston, South
Carolina during Swim Around Charleston.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

The COTP proposes to establish a temporary safety zone on the
waters of the Wando River, Cooper River, Charleston Harbor, and Ashley
River, in Charleston, South Carolina during Swim Around Charleston from
7:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. on September 16, 2018. Approximately 100 swimmers
are anticipated to participate in the race. Persons and vessels
desiring to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area may contact the COTP by telephone at (843) 740-7050, or
a designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16, to request
authorization. If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in,
or remain within the regulated area is granted, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions of the
COTP or a designated representative. The COTP will provide notice of
the safety zone by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners, and on-scene designated representatives.

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: (1) The safety
zone would be enforced for only seven hours; (2) the safety zone would
move with the participant vessels so that once the swimmers clear a
portion of the waterway, the safety zone would no longer be enforced in
that portion of the waterway; (3) although persons and vessels would
not be able to enter or transit through the safety zone without
authorization from the COTP or a designated representative, they would
be able to operate in the surrounding area during the enforcement
period; (4) persons and vessels would still be able to enter or transit
through the safety zone if authorized by the COTP or a designated
representative; and (5) the COTP would provide advance notification of
the safety zone to the local maritime community by Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

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.
We have considered the impact of this proposed rule on small
entities. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owner or operators of vessels intending to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
during the enforcement period. For the reasons stated in section IV.A.
above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities.

[[Page 29720]]

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 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 a safety
zone lasting less than seven hours that would prohibit entry within the
safety zone. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L 60(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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
