[Docket Number USCG-2019-0013]
RIN 1625-AA00
Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend and update its list of
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Coast Guard
Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility (AOR). This proposed action
is necessary to update the current list of recurring safety zones with
revisions, additional events and removal of events that no longer take
place. This regulation would restrict vessel traffic from the safety
zones during the events unless authorized by the Captain of the Port
Sector Ohio Valley or a designated representative. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 11, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2019-0013 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed
rule, call or email Petty Officer Riley Jackson, Sector Ohio Valley,
U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (502) 779-5347, email [email protected].

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
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to amend
33 CFR 165.801, Table 1 titled ``Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Safety Zones'', to update our regulations for annual
fireworks displays and other recurring events in the Eighth Coast Guard
District.
The Table contains a list of annual and recurring safety zones in
the Sector Ohio Valley as of May 11, 2018.
These events include air shows, fireworks displays, and other
marine related events requiring a limited access area restricting
vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current list in 33 CFR 165.801,
Table 1, requires amendment to provide new information on existing
safety zones, to include new safety zones expected to recur annually or
biannually, and to remove safety zones that are no longer needed.
Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone, amendment, or
removal of an existing safety zone creates unnecessary administrative
costs and burdens. This single proposed rulemaking will considerably
reduce administrative overhead and provide the public with notice
through publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring
safety zone regulations. Event sponsors desiring to hold an event not
listed in the table for the Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility
may seek permission for a regulated area for their event through a
request to the phone number or email listed in the above FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this
proposed rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary
changes can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient
manner. The Coast Guard will address all public comments accordingly,
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or
otherwise.
The Coast Guard is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) with a 15-day prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant
to section (b)(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
553). This provision authorizes an agency to publish a rule in less
than 30 days before its effective date for ``good cause found and
published with the rule.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the Coast Guard
finds that good cause exists for publishing this NPRM with a 15-day
comment period because it is impractical to provide a 30-day comment
period. These proposed regulated areas are necessary to ensure the
safety of vessels and persons during the marine events. It is
impracticable to publish an NPRM with a 30-day comment period because
some of these updates must be established as early as the end of April
2019. A 15-day comment period would allow the Coast Guard to provide
for public notice and comment, but also update the regulated areas soon
enough that the length of the notice and comment period does not
compromise public safety.
III. Discussion of the Proposed Rule
Part 165 of 33 CFR contains regulations establishing regulated
navigation areas and limited access areas to restrict vessel traffic
for the safety of persons and property. Section 165.801, Table 1,
establishes recurring safety zones to restrict vessel transit into and
through specified areas to protect spectators, mariners, and other
persons and property from potential hazards presented during certain
events taking place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. From time to time,
this section requires amendment to properly reflect the recurring
safety zones in the AOR. This
[[Page 11450]]
proposed rule amends and updates Sec. 165.801, Table 1 as described
below.
This proposed rule adds 8 new recurring safety zones, removes 6
recurring events, and amends the dates and regulated areas for 9
recurring safety zones already listed in Section 165.801, Table 1, as
follows:
This proposed rule would add the following 8 safety zones to Table

The Coast Guard also proposes to revise regulations in 33 CFR
165.801, Table 1, by amending 9 currently-listed safety zones. The
amendments would involve changes to marine event dates and/or regulated
areas, with reference by line number to the current table. The 9 safety

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general
navigation in the safety zones during these events. Vessels intending
to transit the designated waterway through the safety zones will only
be allowed to transit the area when COTP, or a designated
representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the
events. The proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to
provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the events.
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 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
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zones, and
the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zones.
Vessel traffic would also be able to request permission from the COTP
or a designated representative to enter the restricted area.
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
these safety zones may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section IV.A above this proposed rule would 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
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 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 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 E.O. 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 E.O. 13132.
Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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. If you believe this rule has
implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.
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 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. 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. 01 as
it involves the revision of the table that informs the public of safety
zones occurring in the Sector Ohio Valley AOR. 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
[[Page 11452]]
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
