II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to update the current list of recurring special local regulations found in Table 1 of 33 CFR 100.801.

This rule updates the list of annually recurring special local regulations under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1 for annual special local regulations in the COTP zone. The Coast Guard will address all comments through response via the rulemaking process, including additional revisions to this regulatory section. Additionally, these recurring events are provided to the public through local means and planned by the local communities.

The current list of annual and recurring special local regulations occurring in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR is published under 33 CFR part 100.801, Table 1. The most recent list was created May 14, 2018 via 83 FR 22194.

The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a special local regulation is contained at 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The Coast Guard is amending and updating the special local regulations under 33 CFR part 100.801, Table 1 to include the most up to date list of recurring special local regulations for events held on or around navigable waters within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events include marine parades, boat races, swim events, and other marine related events. The current list under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1 requires amendment to provide new information on existing special local regulations, add new special local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually, and remove special local regulations that are no longer required. Issuing individual regulations for each new special local regulation, amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation 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 recurring special local regulations.

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. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

Part 100 of 33 CFR contains regulations to provide effective control over regattas and marine parades conducted on U.S. navigable waters in order to ensure the safety of life in the regatta or marine parade area. Section 100.801 provides the regulations applicable to events taking place in the Eighth Coast Guard District and also provides a table listing each event and special local regulation. This section requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the recurring special local regulations. This proposed rule updates Section 100.801, Table 1 for Sector Ohio Valley.

This proposed rule adds one new recurring special local regulation, removes two special local regulations, and amends the dates and regulated areas for ten recurring special local regulations already listed.

This proposed rule would add one new recurring special local regulation in Table 1 of Section 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as follows:

Date	Sponsor/name	Sector Ohio Valley location	Regulated area
2 days—One weekend in August	Powerboat Nationals—Parkersburg Regatta/Parkersburg	Parkersburg, WV	Ohio River, Mile 183.5-185.5 (West Virginia).

This proposed rule would remove the following two special local regulations from Table 1 of Section 100.801 because these events are no longer held:

Date	Sponsor/name	Sector Ohio Valley location	Regulated area
One Saturday in June or July	Paducah Summer Festival/Cross River Swim	Paducah, KY	Ohio River, Mile 934-936 (Kentucky).
First or second weekend of July	Prizer Point Marina/4th of July Celebration	Cadiz, KY	Cumberland River, Mile 54.0-55.09 (Kentucky).

This proposed rule would revise ten existing special local regulations in Table 1 of Section 100.801, as follows:

Line	Date	Event/sponsor	Ohio Valley location	Regulated area	Revision (date/area)
17	3 days—First week of August	EQT Pittsburgh Three Rivers Regatta	Pittsburgh, PA	Allegheny River mile 0.0-1.0, Ohio River mile 0.0-0.8, Monongahela River mile 0.5 (Pennsylvania)	area.
26	1 day—First or second weekend of September	SUP3RIVERS The Southside Outside	Pittsburgh, PA	Monongahela River mile 0.0-3.09 Allegheny River mile 0.0-0.6 (Pennsylvania)	date/area.
32	2 days—First weekend of October	Three Rivers Rowing Association/Head of the Ohio Regatta	Pittsburgh, PA	Allegheny River mile 0.0-5.0 (Pennsylvania)	area.
43	3 days—One of the last three weekends in September or one of the first two weekends in October	Hadi Shrine/Owensboro Air Show	Owensboro, KY	Ohio River, Mile 754.0-760.0 (Kentucky)	date.
44	1 day—Last weekend in July or first weekend in August	HealthyTriState.org/St. Marys Tri State Kayathalon	Huntington, WV	Ohio River, Mile 305.1-308.3 (West Virginia)	area.
47	1 day—One weekend in September	Parkersburg Paddle Fest	Parkersburg, WV	Ohio River, Mile 184.3-188 (West Virginia)	date.
60	3 days—Second or third weekend of August	Kittanning Riverbration boat races	Kittanning, PA	Allegheny River mile 42.0-46.0 (Pennsylvania)	date/area.
61	2 days—Second or third weekend in April	Thunder Over Louisville	Louisville, KY	Ohio River, Mile 597.0-607.0 (Kentucky)	date/area.
62	3 days—One weekend in August or one of the first two weekends in September	Evansville HydroFest	Evansville, IN	Ohio River, Mile 790.5-794.0 (Indiana)	date.
65	1 day—One weekend in August	YMCA River Swim	Charleston, WV	Kanawha River, Mile 58.3 to 61.8 (West Virginia)	area.

The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general navigation during these events. Vessels intending to transit the designated waterway through the special local regulations will only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP Ohio Valley, or designated representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the event.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, 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 special local regulations limiting access to certain areas under 33 CFR 100 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The effect of this proposed rulemaking will not be significant because these special local regulations 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 special local regulations accordingly. Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners will also inform the community of these special local regulations. 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 reasons stated in section IV.A. above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on any owner or operator because they are limited in scope and will be in effect for short periods of time. Before the enforcement period, the Coast Guard COTP will issue maritime advisories widely available to waterway users. Deviation from the special local regulations established through this proposed rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

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, please 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 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 contact 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 Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (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. of the Instruction because it involves establishment of special local regulations related to marine event permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine events. 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 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
