DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Coast Guard
33 CFR Part 100
[CGD 09-95-029]
Special Local Regulations; Great Lakes Annual Marine Events
agency: Coast Guard, DOT.
action: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: The Coast Guard proposes to revise its list of annual marine
events which occur within the Ninth Coast Guard District. Publication
of this list in part 100 of the Code of Federal Regulations will
establish permanent special local regulations for marine events within
the Ninth Coast Guard District which recur on an annual basis and which
have been determined by the District Commander to require the issuance
of special local regulations. This action is being taken to ensure the
safety of life and property during each event, while avoiding the
necessity of publishing a separate temporary regulation each year for
each event. The list reflects the approximate dates and locations of
each annual marine event.
dates: Comments must be received on or before December 18, 1995.
addresses: Comments should be mailed to Commander (oan), Ninth Coast
Guard District, 1240 East 9th Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44199-2060. The
comments will be available for inspection and copying at the Aids to
Navigation and Waterways Management Branch, Room 2083, 1240 East 9th
Street, Cleveland, Ohio. Normal office hours are between 7 a.m. and
3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. Comments may also be
hand delivered to this address. Annual notice of the exact dates and
times of the effective period of the regulation with respect to each
event, the geographical area, and details concerning the nature of the
event and the number of participants and type(s) of vessels involved
will also be published in local notices to mariners. To be placed on
the mailing list for such notices, write to Commander (oan), Ninth
Coast Guard District, 1240 East Ninth Street, Cleveland, Ohio, 44199-
2060.
for further information contact: Marine Science Technician Second Class
Jeffrey M. Yunker, Ninth Coast Guard District, Aids to Navigation and
Waterways Management Branch, 1240 East Ninth Street, Cleveland, Ohio,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments
The Coast Guard encourages interested persons to participate in
this rulemaking by submitting written data, views, or arguments.
Persons submitting comments should include their name and address,
identify this rulemaking [CGD09-95-029] and the specific section of
this proposal to which each comment applies, and give a reason for each
comment. Persons wanting acknowledgment of receipt of comments should
enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard or envelope. The Coast Guard
plans no public hearing. Persons may request a public hearing by
writing to the Project Officer at the address under ``ADDRESSES.'' If
it determines that the opportunity for oral presentations will aid this
rulemaking, the Coast Guard will hold a public hearing at a time and
place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.
Drafting Information
The drafters of these regulations are Lieutenant Junior Grade Byron
D. Willeford, Project Officer, Ninth Coast Guard District, Aids to
Navigation and Waterways Management Branch and Lieutenant Charles D.
Dahill, Project Attorney, Ninth Coast Guard District Legal Office.
Discussion of Proposed Regulations
If adopted, this rulemaking will update an existing list of
anticipated annual events. Each year various public and private
organizations sponsor marine events on the navigable waters of the
United States within the Ninth Coast Guard District. These events
include slow moving boat parades, sailboat races, high speed hydroplane
races, fireworks displays, and other water related events. The listed
events
[[Page 55512]]
are held in approximately the same location during the same general
time frame each year. Exact times and dates will be published in the
Local Notice to Mariners instead of being published in this final rule.
This method streamlines the marine event process for those regattas and
marine events which have little variation from year to year.
Additionally, it significantly reduces the Coast Guard's administrative
burden for managing these events, with no reduction in services to the
maritime community. The nature of each event is such that special local
regulations are deemed necessary to ensure the safety of life, limb,
and property on and adjacent to navigable waters during the events.
Group Commanders have consulted and will continue to consult with
parties potentially affected by any significant changes to the nature,
date, time, and location proposed by an event sponsor for any of the
events covered in this rule.
Table 1 gives the approximate dates, times, and locations for the
annual events listed. Each year, one or more Local Notice to Mariners
will be published giving the exact dates, times, and locations for the
annual events. It should be noted that Table 1 in the regulation is not
a complete list of all marine events that will occur in the Ninth Coast
Guard District. It does not include events which do not require special
local regulations for the safety of life, limb, and property on or
adjacent to navigable waters. It also does not include nonannual events
or events which have not been scheduled in time for this publication.
Federalism Implications
This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined
that the rulemaking does not have sufficient federalism implications to
warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Environment
The Coast Guard is simply proposing to revise its list of annual
marine events. The listing itself will not affect the environment. Upon
receipt of applications, the Coast Guard will conduct an environmental
analysis for each event in accordance with section 2.B.2.c of Coast
Guard Commandant Instruction M16475.1B, and the Coast Guard Notice of
final agency procedures and policy for categorical exclusions found at
59 FR 38654 (July 29, 1994).
Economic Assessment and Certification
These regulations are not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and do not require an assessment
of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that order.
They have been exempted from review by the Office of Management and
Budget under that order. They are not significant under the regulatory
policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44
FR 11040; February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard expects the economic
impact of these regulations to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies and
procedures of the DOT is unnecessary.
Collection of Information
These regulations will impose no collection information
requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100
Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.
Proposed Regulations
In consideration of the foregoing, the Coast Guard proposes to
amend Part 100 of Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, as follows:
PART 100--[AMENDED]
1. The authority citation for Part 100 continues to read as
follows:
Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233; 49 CFR 1.46 and 33 CFR 100.35.
2. Section 100.901 is amended by revising Table 1 to read as
follows:
Sec. 100.901 Great Lakes annual marine events.
