33 CFR Part 100
[CGD07-94-034]
Special Local Regulations: Second Annual Run for the Gold
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Temporary final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Special local regulations are being adopted for the Second
Annual Run For The Gold sponsored by the Key West Power Boat Race
Association. This event will be held on May 13 and 16, 1994, between 1
p.m. EST (Eastern Standard Time) and 3 p.m. EST, each day. The
regulations are needed to provide for the safety of life on navigable
waters under the event.
EFFECTIVE DATES: These regulations become effective at 1 p.m. EST and
terminate at 3 p.m. EST each day on May 13 and 16, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: QMC Coyne, Project Officer, USCG Group
Key West, (305) 292-8727.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a notice of
proposed rulemaking has not been published for these regulations.
Following normal rulemaking procedures would have been impracticable.
The updated information to hold the event was not received with
sufficient time remaining to publish proposed rules in advance of the
event or to provide for a delayed effective date.
Drafting Information
The drafters of this regulation are QMC K.T. Coyne, project
officer, USCG Group Key West, and LT J.M. Losego, project attorney,
Seventh Coast District Legal Office.
Discussion of Regulations
The Key West Power Boat Race Association is sponsoring the Second
Annual Run for the Gold power boat race. Approximately 65 power boats,
ranging in length from 24 feet to 50 feet, will participate in the
event. The power boats will be competing at high speeds, and in close
proximity to each other, on the 16 mile course, creating an extra or
unusual hazard in the navigable waters.
Federalism
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.
Environmental Assessment
The Coast Guard has considered the environmental impact of this
proposal consistent with Section 2.B.2.08 of Commandant Instruction
M16475.1B, and this proposal has been determined to be categorically
excluded. Specifically, the Coast Guard has consulted with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service
regarding the environmental impact of this event, and it was determined
that the event does not jeopardize the continued existence of protected
species.
