§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background and Authority
The Coast Guard lists annually recurring marine events in the CFR. For USCG Sector Eastern Great Lakes, safety zones are listed in Table 1 to 33 CFR 165.939. Over the 2025 calendar year, the Coast Guard was notified of multiple marine events currently recorded in Table 1 to 33 CFR 165.939 that must be amended to keep that table current and accurate. The Captain of the Port Sector Eastern Great Lakes (COTP) also determined that some events currently listed in the regulation are obsolete. On May 27, 2026, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zones; Annual Events in the Captain of the Port Eastern Great Lakes Zone (91 FR 31392). In that NPRM, we stated why we issued the NPRM, listed the proposed amendments to the events in the rule, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to these events.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels and the navigable waters before, during, and after each respective scheduled event. The Coast Guard is amending this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.
III. Discussion of Comments and the Rule
During the comment period that ended on June 26, 2026, we received two comments. One commenter was generally supportive of this regulation, while also urging the Coast Guard to continue to ensure the safety zones are enforced for the shortest practical amount of time to minimize impact on recreational boaters and businesses. We appreciate the commenter's support and affirm that the Coast Guard's safety zone regulations and enforcement efforts endeavor to balance public safety with reasonable access. The second comment was not related to the proposed regulation or to safety zones.
There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM.
IV. 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.
A. 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. Section 605 of the RFA allows an agency to certify a rule, in lieu of preparing an analysis, if the rulemaking is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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 for the following reasons.
Vessel traffic will be able to safely transit around these regulated areas. This regulation will only impact small areas for a few hours per event. In general, the enforcement periods are during times when vessel traffic is normally low. In addition, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Marines via VHF FM marine channel 16, which will allow small entities to adjust their transit plans, and the rule allows vessels to request permission to enter a regulated area from the COTP.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed 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 proposed rule would economically affect it.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), if this proposed rule will affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions, contact the person listed in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
Small businesses may send comments to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards by calling 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247).
( printed page 44753)
B. 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).
C. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in that Order.
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.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
As required by The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538), the Coast Guard certifies that this rule will not result in an annual expenditure of $100,000,000 or more (adjusted for inflation) by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector.
E. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321et seq.), 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.
This rule is a safety zone. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket.
