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 informs the public of regularly scheduled events that require additional safety measures through establishing a safety zone. Through this, the current list of recurring safety zones is proposed to be updated with revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take place. When these safety zones are enforced, vessel traffic is restricted from the specified areas. Additionally, this proposed rulemaking project reduces administrative costs involved in producing separate proposed rules for each individual recurring safety zone and serves to provide notice of the known recurring safety zones throughout the year. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES:
Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before March 16, 2020.
ADDRESSES:
You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-2020-0037 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.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
The Captain of the Port, Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to amend 33 CFR 165.801 to update regulations for annual fireworks displays and other events in the Eighth Coast Guard District requiring safety zones with respect to those in Sector Ohio Valley.
The current list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in Sector Ohio Valley's area of responsibility (AOR) is published under 33 CFR 165.801 in Table no. 1 for annual safety zones in the COTP Ohio Valley zone. The most recent list was created May 3, 2019 through the rulemaking 84 FR 18975.
The Coast Guard proposed to amend and update the safety zone regulations 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 Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. 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 needs to be amended to provide new information on existing safety zones, and to include new safety zones expected to recur annually or biannually, and to remove safety zones that are no longer required. 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.Start Printed Page 8510
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. Additionally, these recurring events are provided to the public through local avenues and planned by the local communities.
III. Discussion of the Proposed Rule
Part 165 of 33 CFR contains regulations establishing limited access areas to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and property. Section 165.801 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. This section requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the recurring safety zone regulations in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. This proposed rule amends and updates § 165.801 by revising the current table for Sector Ohio Valley.
Additionally, this proposed rule adds 10 new recurring safety zones, removes 01 recurring events and amends the date, regulated area, and/or name for 20 recurring safety zones already listed in § 165.801 as follows:
This proposed rule would add the following 10 safety zones to the existing Table 1 of § 165.801 as follows:
Date Sponsor/name Sector Ohio valley location Safety zone 3 days in June CMA Festival Nashville, TN Cumberland River, Miles 190.7-191.1 extending 100 feet from the left descending bank (Tennessee). 1 day—The second or third weekend of August Green Turtle Bay Resort/Grand Rivers Marina Day Grand Rivers, KY 420 foot radius, from the fireworks launch site, at the entrance to Green Turtle Bay Resort, on the Cumberland River at mile marker 31.5. (Kentucky). 1 day—July 3rd Moors Resort and Marina/Kentucky Lake Big Bang Gilbertsville, KY 600 foot radius, from the fireworks launch site, on the entrance jetty to Moors Resort and Marina, on the Tennessee River at mile marker 30.5. (Kentucky). 1 day—One weekend in September Aurora Fireworks Aurora, IN Ohio River, Mile 496.3-497.3 (Ohio). 1 day—Last two weekends in September Cabana on the River Cincinnati, OH Ohio River, Mile 483.2-484.2 (Ohio). 1 day—Last weekend in July or first weekend in August Fort Armstrong Folk Music Festival Kittanning, PA Allegheny River, Mile 45.1-45.5 (Pennsylvania). 2 days—One of the last three weekends in October Monster Pumpkin Festival Pittsburgh, PA Allegheny River, Mile 0.0-0.25 (Pennsylvania). 1 day—First week of July Toronto 4th of July Fireworks Toronto, OH Ohio River, Mile 58.2-58.8 (Ohio). 1 day—One Friday in May prior to memorial day Live on the Levee Memorial Day Fireworks/City of Charleston Charleston, WV Kanawha River, Mile 58.1-59.1 (West Virginia). 1 day—Labor day Portsmouth Labor Day Fireworks/Hamburg Fireworks Portsmouth, OH Ohio River, Mile 355.8-356.8 (Ohio). This proposed rule would remove the following safety zone from the existing Table 1 to § 165.801 as follows:
3 days—One weekend in April Thunder Over Louisville Louisville, KY Ohio River, Miles 597.0-607.0 (Kentucky) Date. The Coast Guard also proposes to revise regulations at 33 CFR 165.801 by amending 20 existing safety zones listed in the current table. The amendments involve changes to marine event dates, regulated areas, and/or event names, with reference by line number to the current Table 1 of § 165.801. The 20 safety zones being amended are listed below:
Line Date Sponsor/name Sector Ohio valley location Regulated area Revision (date/area/name) 7 3 Days in May US Rowing Southeast Youth Championship Regatta Oak Ridge, TN Clinch River, Mile 48.5-52.0 (Tennessee) Date. 9 1 day in June Cumberland River Compact/Nashville Splash Bash Nashville, TN Cumberland River, Miles 189.7-192.1 (Tennessee) Date. 13 1 day in June Friends of the Festival, Inc./Riverbend Festival Fireworks Chattanooga, TN Tennessee River, Miles 462.7-465.2 (Tennessee) Date. 25 1 day in July Town of Cumberland City/Lighting up the Cumberland Cumberland City, TN Cumberland River, Miles 103.0-105.5 (Tennessee) Date. 26 1 day in July Chattanooga Presents/Pops on the River Chattanooga, TN Tennessee River, Miles 462.7-465.2 (Tennessee) Date.

The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general navigation in the safety zone during the events. Vessels intending to transit the designated waterway through the safety zone 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 event. 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.
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. This proposed rule establishes safety zones limiting access to certain areas under 33 CFR 165 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The effect of this proposed rulemaking will not be significant because these safety zones are limited in scope and duration. Additionally, the public is given advance notification through local forms of notice, the Federal Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and, thus, will be able to plan operations around the safety zones. Also, advance Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners will inform the community of these safety zones. Vessel traffic may 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 the safety zone 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.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have a significant economic impact on it, Start Printed Page 8512please submit a comment (see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what degree this rule would economically affect it.
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 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments) because it would 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 proposed rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
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 proposed rule would 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 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 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 L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A preliminary 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. 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 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.
