II. Background Information and Regulatory History
The Captain of Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) is amending 33 CFR
165.801 to update the table of annual fireworks displays and other
events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Area of Responsibility (AOR).
These events
[[Page 18803]]
include air shows, fireworks displays, and other events requiring a
safety zone.
On January 23, 2024, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled ``Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley
Annual and Recurring Safety Zones Update'' (89 FR 4221). There we
stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to those recurring safety zones. During the
comment period that ended on February 22, 2024, no comments were
received.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of the events occurring in April.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Coast Guard is amending and
updating the safety zones under 33 CFR part 165 to include the most up
to date list of recurring safety zones for events held on or around
navigable waters within the Sector Ohio Valley AOR. These events
include fireworks displays, air shows, and festivals. The current list
in 33 CFR 165.801 requires changes to provide new information on
existing safety zones and to include new safety zones expected to recur
annually or biannually. Issuing individual regulations for each new
safety zone, amendment of existing safety zones creates unnecessary
administrative costs and burdens. This rulemaking reduces
administrative overhead and provides the public with notice through
publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring safety
zones. Based on the nature of these events, large numbers of
participants and spectators, and event locations, the COTP has
determined that 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 and spectators, during the scheduled
events.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published
January 23, 2024. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM.
This rule amends and updates part 165 of 33 CFR by revising the
current table for Sector Ohio Valley, and by adding three new recurring
safety zones and amending two safety zones as described in the NPRM.
Vessels intending to transit the designated waterway through the safety
zone will only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP, or
designated representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the
completion of the event.
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. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866, as amended by
Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review). Accordingly,
this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zones. These safety zones are
limited in size and duration, and are usually positioned away from high
vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast
Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and Marine Safety
Information Broadcasts to inform the community of these safety zones.
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
call or email 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 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
[[Page 18804]]
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.
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
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 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. It is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph L60a 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. For instructions on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
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.
