[Docket Number USCG–2026–0477]

Special Local Regulation; Lake Erie,

OH

AGENCY

: Coast Guard, Department of

Homeland Security.

ACTION

: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY

: The Coast Guard is

establishing a temporary special local

regulation (SLR) for certain navigable

waters of Lake Erie. The SLR is needed

to protect personnel, vessels, and the

marine environment from potential

hazards created during an overnight

sailboat race beginning June 5, 2026,

and ending the morning of June 6, 2026.

This regulation prohibits persons and

vessels from entering the regulated area

unless specifically authorized by the

Captain of the Port Detroit or their

designated representative.

DATES

: This rule is effective from 5 p.m.

on June 5, 2026, through 10 a.m. on June

6, 2026.

COTP Captain of the Port

DHS Department of Homeland Security

FR Federal Register

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking

§ Section

SLR Special Local Regulation

U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background and Authority

An organization notified the Coast

Guard that from 5 p.m. on June 5, 2026,

through 10 a.m. on June 6, 2026, they

will sponsor an overnight sailing race.

The Coast Guard received a request

under 33 CFR 100.15 from the Toledo

Yacht Club for a Marine Event Permit to

host an overnight sailing race from the

Toledo Harbor Light to South Bass

Island on Lake Erie. The sailing event

will include approximately 120

participants and 15 spectator craft.

The Captain of the Port Detroit

(COTP) is issuing this special local

regulation (SLR) under the authority in

46 U.S.C. 70041. The COTP has

determined that potential hazards

associated with the overnight sailing

race include increased vessel congestion

due to the number of participants,

restricted maneuverability of racing

sailboats, and racing in the pathway of

commercial traffic (ferries). The purpose

of this rulemaking is to protect event

participants, non-participants, and

transiting vessels before, during, and

after the scheduled event.

Because of these potential hazards,

the Coast Guard is issuing this rule

without prior notice and comment. As

is authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists

for not publishing a notice of proposed

rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this

rule because it is impracticable. We

must establish this SLR by June 5, 2026,

to protect personnel and vessels.

Therefore, we do not have enough time

to solicit and respond to comments.

For the same reason, the Coast Guard

finds that under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good

cause exists for making this rule

effective less than 30 days after

publication in the Federal Register.

III. Discussion of the Rule

This rule establishes a temporary SLR

from 5 p.m. on June 5, 2026, through 10

a.m. on June 6, 2026. The special local

regulation will cover all navigable

waters within 100 yards of the racing

sailing vessels. No vessel or person will

be permitted to enter the regulated area

without obtaining permission from the

COTP or their designated representative.

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 analysis

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, do not

apply to rules that are not subject to

notice and comment. Because the Coast

Guard has, for good cause, waived the

notice and comment requirement that

would otherwise apply to this

rulemaking, the Regulatory Flexibility

Act’s flexibility analysis provisions do

not apply here.

Under section 213(a) of the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),

if this 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). 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.

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. 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 rule is a special local regulation.

It is categorically excluded from further

review under paragraph L61 of

Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction

Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1.
