Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations, Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
DHS Department of Homeland Security
E.O. Executive order
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Pub. L. Public Law
Sec. Section

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to
update the current list of recurring special local regulations found in
Table 1 of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section
100.801 for events occurring within the Sector Ohio Valley's Area of
Responsibility (AOR) within the Coast Guard's Eighth District.
This proposed rule would update the list of annually recurring
special local regulations under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, for annual
special local regulations in the Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The Coast
Guard will address all comments via the rulemaking process, including
additional revisions to this regulatory section. Additionally, the
public would be informed of these recurring events through local means
and planned by the local communities. The current list of annual and
recurring special local regulations occurring in Sector Ohio Valley's
AOR is published in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1 titled ``Annual Marine
Events in the Eighth Coast Guard District''. The most recent list was
published via the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (86 FR 10894) on
February 23, 2021.
The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a special local
regulation is contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The Coast Guard proposes
to amend and update the special local regulations in 33 CFR 100.801,
Table 1, to include the most up to date list of recurring special local
regulations for events held on or around the navigable waters within
Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events would include marine parades,
boat races, swim events, and other marine related events. The current
list under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, requires amendment to provide new
information on existing special local regulations, add new special
local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually, and to
remove special local regulations that no longer occur. Issuing
individual regulations for each new special local regulation,
amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation creates
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single proposed
rulemaking would considerably reduce administrative overhead and
provide the public with notice through publication in the Federal
Register of recurring special local regulations in the AOR.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

Part 100 of title 33 of the CFR contains regulations describing
regattas and marine parades conducted on the U.S. navigable waters in
order to ensure the safety of life in the regulated areas. Section
100.801 of the title provides the regulations applicable to events
taking place in the Eighth Coast Guard District and also provides a
table listing each event and special local regulations. This section
requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the recurring
special local regulations. This proposed rule would update section
100.801, Table 1 titled ``Annual Marine Events in the Eighth Coast
Guard District.''
This proposed rule would add 5 new recurring special local
regulation to Table 1 to Sec. 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date Event/sponsor Ohio Valley location Regulated area
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.3 Days in May..................... U.S. Rowing Southeast Oak Ridge, TN.......... Clinch River, Miles
Youth Championship 48.5-52 (Tennessee).
Regatta.
30.1 Day in July..................... Three Rivers Regatta... Knoxville, TN.......... Tennessee River, Miles
642-653 (Tennessee).
31.1 Day in July..................... PADL................... Cannelton, IN.......... Ohio River, Miles 719.0-
727.0 (Kentucky).
84.1 day in October.................. Chattajack............. Chattanooga, TN........ Tennessee River, Miles
462.7-465.5
(Tennessee).
85.1 day in October.................. Outdoor Chattanooga/ Chattanooga, TN........ Tennessee River, Miles
Swim the Suck. 452.0-454.5
(Tennessee).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 69603]]

This proposed rule would amend 1 new recurring special local
regulation to Table 1 to Sec. 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as
follows:

The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general
navigation during these events. Vessels intending to transit the
designated waterways during effective periods of the special local
regulations would only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP or
or designated representative, has deemed it would safe to do so or at
the completion of the event.

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. 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).
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This proposed rule would establish special local regulations limiting
access to certain areas described in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1. The
effect of this proposed rulemaking would not be significant because
these special local regulations are limited in scope and duration.
Additionally, the public would be given advance notification through
local forms of notice, the Federal Register, and/or Notices of
Enforcement. Thus, the public would be able to plan their operations
and activities around enforcement times of the special local
regulations. The COTP would issue Broadcast Notices to Mariners, Local
Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine Information Broadcasts, as
appropriate, to inform the community of these special local
regulations. Vessel traffic would be permitted to request permission
from the COTP or a designated representative to enter the restricted
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 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 reasons stated in section
IV.A. above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any owner or operator because they are limited in scope and
will be in effect for short periods of time.
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 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 proposed rule
would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please call or email 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 call or email 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 potential effects of
this proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

We have analyzed this proposed 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. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination

[[Page 69604]]

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. 1. of the Instruction because it
involves establishment of special local regulations related to marine
event permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine events. 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 call or email 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.
