M/V LIBERTY PEACE, and M/V OCEAN
FREEDOM. The zones for the vessels will be enforced from the time the first vessel arrives on August 2, 2021, until the last vessel arrives Corpus Christi Ship Channel on August 14, 2021. The duration of the zones is intended to protect the vessels and military cargo on board while the vessels are in transit.
No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the security zones without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative.
Entry into these security zones are prohibited unless authorized by the COTP or a designated representative. A
designated representative is a commissioned, warrant, or petty officer of the U.S. Coast Guard assigned to units under the operational control of USCG Sector Corpus Christi.

or by telephone at 3619390450. If permission is granted, all persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the COTP or designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses We developed this 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 rule has not been designated a significant regulatory action, under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget OMB.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size, duration, and location of the security zones. This rule will impact a small designated area of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel during the vessels transits while loaded with cargo over a nineteen-day period.
Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue BNMs via VHFFM marine channel 16

about the zones as appropriate and the rule allows vessels to seek permission to enter the zones.
B. Impact on Small Entities The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601612, 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.
605b that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the temporary security zones may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
Under section 213a of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 Pub. L. 104121, we want to assist small entities in understanding this 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.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agencys responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1888REGFAIR 18887343247.
The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information This rule will not call for a new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 44
U.S.C. 35013520.
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 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 rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does 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 rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 2 U.S.C. 15311538 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 rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Directive 02301 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. 43214370f, and have determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves security zones lasting for the duration of time that the M/V ARC ENDURANCE, M/V LIBERTY PEACE, and M/V OCEAN
FREEDOM are within the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. It will prohibit entry within a 500 yard radius of the M/V
ARC ENDURANCE, M/V LIBERTY
PEACE, and M/V OCEAN FREEDOM
while the vessels are transiting within the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60 in Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
