    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 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.
    
    DATE: Comments must be received on or before August 7, 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 8 a.m. and 4 
    p.m. [[Page 32289]] (EDT), 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 44199-2060, (216) 522-3990.
    
    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 [CGD09-95-005] 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 this regulation are Lieutenant Junior Grade Byron 
    D. Willeford, Project Officer, Ninth Coast Guard District, Aids to 
    Navigation and Waterways Management Branch, and Lieutenant Karen E. 
    Lloyd, 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 are held in approximately the same location during the same 
    general timeframe each year. Exact times and dates will be 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 
    each 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 appropriate 
    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.

    Proposed Regulations
    
        In consideration of the foregoing, the Coast Guard proposes to 
    amend part 100 of Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, as follows:

    section to read as follows:

    north of the mouth of the Milwaukee River and directly adjacent to 
    the Summerfest grounds, enclosed by shore on the west and a 
    ``comma'' shaped man-made rock wall on the east. The construction of 
    the lagoon is such that a small ``basin'' has been created with one 
    entrance located at the northwest end, thus, there is no ``thru 
    traffic''.

    the lagoon is such that a small ``basin'' has been created with one 
    entrance located at the northwest end, thus, there is no ``thru 
    traffic''. Four special buoys will be set by the sponsor to 
    delineate the entrance to the lagoon.
