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 title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 100.801 for events occurring within the Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility within the Coast Guard's Eighth District.

This proposed rule would update the list of annually recurring special local regulations under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, for annual special local regulations in the Sector Ohio Valley's Area of Responsibility (AOR). The Coast Guard will address all comments through response via the rulemaking process, including additional revisions to this regulatory section. Additionally, the public would be informed of these recurring events 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 in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1 titled “Ohio Valley Annual and Reoccurring Marine Events.” The most recent list was published on February 3, 2022 (87 FR 6026).

The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a special local regulation is contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The Coast Guard proposes to amend and update the special local regulations in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, to include the most up to date list of recurring special local regulations for events held on or around the navigable waters within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events would 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 to remove special local regulations that no longer occur. 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 in the AOR.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

Part 100 of 33 CFR contains regulations describing regattas and marine parades conducted on U.S. navigable waters in order to ensure the safety of life in the regulated areas. 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 regulations. This section requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the recurring special local regulations. This proposed rule would update § 100.801, Table 1 titled “Ohio Valley Annual and Reoccurring Marine Events.”

This proposed rule would add 8 new recurring special local regulations to Table 1 of § 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as follows:

Date	Event/sponsor	Ohio valley location	Regulated area
1 day in March	Oak Ridge Rowing Association/US Rowing U19 ID Camp	Oak Ridge, TN	Clinch River, Mile 48.5-52.0 (Tennessee).
1 day in May	Oak Ridge Rowing Association/AAC Championship	Oak Ridge, TN	Clinch River, Mile 48.5-52.0 (Tennessee).
3 days in May	Oak Ridge Rowing Association/ARCA Championship	Oak Ridge, TN	Clinch River, Mile 48.5-52.0 (Tennessee).
1 day—First week in July	Cincinnati Parks-Sawyer Point/Cincinnati Parks Board	Cincinnati, OH	Ohio River, Mile 469-470 (Ohio).
1 day—First week in July	City of New Richmond, Riverdays/VFW	New Richmond, OH	Ohio River, Mile 449.5-450.5 (Ohio).
1 day in August	THREE RIVERS REGATTA	Knoxville, TN	Tennessee River, Mile 652-653 (Tennessee).
1 day in August	K-Town On The River	Knoxville, TN	Tennessee River, Mile 648-650 (Tennessee).
3 days in August	Pro Watercross Music City Grand Prix	Nashville, TN	Cumberland River, Mile 190-191 (Tennessee).

These new recurring special local regulations would be reflected in the table in the general date order in which they will occur, and the current recurring special local regulations would be reordered, as shown in the proposed regulatory text below.

Additionally, this proposed rule would amend 11 recurring special local regulations in Table 1 of § 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as follows:

Date	Event/sponsor	Ohio valley location	Regulated area	Previously
3 days—A weekend in May or June	Oak Ridge Rowing Association/Dogwood Masters	Oak Ridge, TN	Clinch River, Mile 48.5-52.0 (Tennessee)	3 days—Third weekend in May.
3 days in June	Lake Guntersville Hydrofest	Guntersville, AL	Tennessee River, Mile 355.5-356.5 (Alabama)	1 day in June and Guntersville Lake Hydrofest.
1 day in June	Music City Triathlon	Nashville, TN	Cumberland River, Mile 189.7-192.3 (Tennessee)	1 day-fourth weekend in July.
1 day—Third or Fourth weekend in July	Tri-Louisville	Louisville, KY	Ohio River, Mile 600.5-604 (Kentucky)	1 day—one weekend in June.
1 day in August	Riverbluff Triathlon	Ashland City, TN	Cumberland River, Mile 157-159 (Tennessee)	1 day—First or second weekend in August.
1 day in October	Cumberland River Compact/Cumberland River Dragon Boat Festival	Nashville, TN	Cumberland River, Mile 189.7-192.1 (Tennessee)	1 day—One of the first three weekends in September.
1 day in October	Shoals Scholar Dollar	Florence, AL	Tennessee River, Mile 255-257 (Alabama)	Shoals Dragon Boat Festival and 1 day—One weekend in September.
2 days in October	Music City Head Race	Nashville, TN	Cumberland River, Mile 190-195 (Tennessee)	3 days—First or Second weekend in October and Cumberland River, Mile 189.5-196.0 (Tennessee).
2 days—Second Weekend in July	New Martinsville Vintage Regatta	New Martinsville, WV	Ohio River Mile 127.5-128.5 (West Virginia)	2 days—One weekend in June.
1 day—Second weekend in December	Charleston Lighted Boat Parade	Charleston, WV	Kanawha River, Mile 54.3-60.3 (West Virginia)	1 day—One weekend in November or December.
3 days—The weekend of Labor Day	Portsmouth River Days	Portsmouth, OH	Ohio River, Mile 355.5-356.8 (Ohio)	Portsmouth Boat Race/Breakwater Powerboat Association.

Lastly, this proposed rule would remove 4 recurring special local regulations in Table 1 of § 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley as follows:

Date	Event/sponsor	Ohio valley location	Regulated area
2 days—One weekend in July	Huntington Classic Regatta	Huntington, WV	Ohio River, Mile 307.3-309.3 (West Virginia).
1 day—Last weekend in July or first weekend in August	Healthy TriState.org/St.Marys Tri State Kayathalon	Huntington, WV	Ohio River, Mile 305.1-308.3 (West Virginia).
3 days—One weekend in August	Pro Water Cross Championships	Charleston, WV	Kanawha River, Mile 56.7-57.6 (West Virginia).
1 day—One weekend in August	YMCA River Swim	Charleston, WV	Kanawha River, Mile 58.3-61.8 (West Virginia).

The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general navigation during these events. Vessels intending to transit the designated waterways during effective periods of the special local regulations would only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP or designated representative, has deemed it would be 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 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. 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).

The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. This proposed rule would establish special local regulations limiting access to certain areas described in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1. The effect of this proposed rulemaking would not be significant because these special local regulations are limited in scope and duration. Additionally, the public would be given advance notification through local forms of notice, the Federal Register , and/or Notices of Enforcement. Thus, the public would be able to plan their operations and activities around enforcement times of the special local regulations. Broadcast Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine Information Broadcasts would also inform the community of these special local regulations. Vessel traffic would be permitted to request permission from the COTP or a designated representative to enter the restricted areas.

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 regulated area 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.

If you think that your business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed 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 proposed 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 call or email 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 would 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 potential effects of this proposed 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 L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. 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 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.
