Abstract

The Coast Guard is proposing to amend the Southern California Firework Events for Los Angeles-Long Beach Captain of the Port Zone Annual Safety Zones. The Coast Guard proposes eight new events to be added, thirteen events to be updated, and two events removed. The safety zones are needed to protect waterways users and keep them clear of potentially harmful debris within the fallout zone. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Los Angeles-Long Beach. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

II. Background and Authority

    Every year, Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach receives 
multiple marine event permit applications from sponsors hosting annual 
fireworks displays for the Fourth of July and New Year's Eve. Hazards 
from fireworks displays include accidental discharge of fireworks, 
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris. The 
Captain of the Port Los Angeles-Long Beach (COTP) has determined that 
potential hazards associated with fireworks are a safety concern for 
anyone within a 100-foot radius during the loading and transit of 
pyrotechnics aboard launch barges. Upon the commencement of the 
fireworks displays, the safety concern increases to anyone within a 500 
to 1,000-foot radius, or a designated distance from the launch site. 
Therefore, the COTP is proposing to amend this rule under the authority 
in 46 U.S.C. 70034, which is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and 
the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone.

III. Discussion of the Rule

    This proposed rule would add eight new events, update thirteen 
existing events, and remove two events in 33 CFR 165.1125, Table 1, 
Southern California Annual Firework Events for the Los Angeles-Long 
Beach Captain of the Port zone.
    The following events would be added to 33 CFR 165.1125, Table 1:
    ``Newport Beach, CA--4th of July--Fireworks,'' ``Two Harbors, 
Catalina Island, CA--4th of July--Fireworks,'' ``Bel Air Bay, Pacific 
Palisades,--4th of July--Fireworks,'' ``Los Alamitos Bay, CA--4th of 
July--Fireworks,'' ``Three Arch Bay, South Laguna, CA--4th of July--
Fireworks,'' would each establish a recurring safety zone during the 
first week of July, with a maximum radius of 1,000-feet around a 
fireworks barge.
    The ``Port of Los Angeles--4th of July--Fireworks'' event would 
establish a recurring safety zone during the last week of June or first 
week in July, with a maximum radius of 1,000-feet around a fireworks 
barge. The ``Port of Long Beach, CA--NYE--Fireworks'' event would 
establish a recurring safety zone during the last week of December, 
with a maximum radius of 500-feet around a land-based shoot location. 
The ``Santa Barbara Harbor, CA--Holiday Fireworks'' event would 
establish a recurring safety zone during the last week of December, 
with a regulated area encompassing a specific portion Santa Barbara 
Harbor and East Beach, Santa Barbara. The addition of these events is 
necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment 
during recurring events in the Los Angeles-Long Beach Captain of the 
Port Zone, not currently listed in 33 CFR 165.1125, Table 1.
    The following events would be updated in 33 CFR 165.1125, Table 1:
    <bullet> The ``LA County Dept of Beach and Harbors 4th of July 
Fireworks'' would be renamed to the ``Marina Del Rey, CA--4th of July 
Fireworks;''
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of Dana Point'' would 
be renamed to the ``Dana Point, CA--4th of July--Fireworks;''
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of Long Beach'' would 
be renamed to ``Port of Long Beach, CA--4th of July--Fireworks;''
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, Irvine Cove Community 
Association'' would be renamed to the ``Irvine Cove, CA--4th of July--
Fireworks;''
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, Emerald Bay Community 
Association'' would be renamed to the ``Emerald Bay, CA--4th of July--
Fireworks;''
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, Morro Bay CoC'' would be 
renamed to the ``Morro Bay, CA--4th of July--Fireworks;''
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, Catalina Island CoC'' 
would be renamed to the ``Avalon Bay, Catalina Island, CA--4th of 
July--Fireworks;''
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of Redondo Beach'' 
would be renamed to the ``Redondo Beach, CA--4th of July--Fireworks,''
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of San Pedro'' would 
be renamed to the ``San Pedro, CA--4th of July--Fireworks;'' and
    <bullet> The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of Cayucos'' would be 
renamed to the ``Cayucos, CA--4th of July--Fireworks.''
    The effective date of safety zone enforcement for these events 
would also be updated from ``July 4th'' to the ``First week in July.''
    The ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of Santa Barbara'' would be 
renamed to Santa Barbara, CA--4th of July--Fireworks,'' with the 
effective date of safety zone enforcement changed from ``July 4th'' to 
the ``First week in July,''

[[Page 67536]]

and the regulated area changed from a 1,000-foot maximum radius around 
a fireworks barge, to a specific set of coordinates encompassing Santa 
Barbara Harbor and East Beach, CA. The ``Holiday Fireworks, Los Angeles 
County'' event would be renamed to the ``Marina Del Rey, CA--Holiday--
Fireworks,'' with the regulated area changed from a 1,000-foot radius 
around a specific set of coordinates, to a ``1,000-foot radius around 
the firework display located on the Marina Del Rey South Jetty.'' The 
``The New Years Eve Fireworks, Los Angeles County'' event would be 
renamed to ``Marina Del Rey, CA--NYE--Fireworks,'' with the regulated 
area changed from a 1,000-foot radius around a specific set of 
coordinates to a ``1,000-foot radius around the firework display 
located on the Marina Del Rey South Jetty.'' These updates are needed 
to better align safety zone enforcement with event names and sponsors 
and allow for flexibility should event dates or locations change.
    This proposed rule would also remove the ``Cambria American Legion 
Post Fourth of July Fireworks'' and ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of 
Faria'' events from 33 CFR 165.1125, Table 1. These events have not 
taken place within the previous 5 years, and enforcement of the 
associated safety zones is no longer necessary.
    No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety zone 
without obtaining permission from the COTP or their designated 
representative. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end 
of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes 
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our 
analysis 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 this regulated 
area. This regulation will only impact a small area for a few hours. 
The enforcement period is during a time when vessel traffic is normally 
low. In addition, the Coast Guard will publish the events in the Local 
Notice to Mariners and 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 the 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).

B. Collection of Information

    This proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 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 et 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 proposed 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.
