II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis On September 22, 2020, the Maritime Subcommittee for Super Bowl LV
notified the Coast Guard that during the Super bowl LV event celebrations there will be several planned Super Bowlrelated events throughout the waterfront areas of Tampa, FL. These events will occur at various times from January 29, 2021 through February 7, 2021. These events could lead to large gatherings of persons and vessels in waterways around the Tampa area. The Captain of the Port St. Petersburg COTP has determined that the potential hazards associated with persons and vessel congestion within the proposed safety zone during these events is a safety concern.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels and persons

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule The COTP Saint Petersburg is proposing a safety zone from January 29, 2021, through February 7, 2021. The safety zone would cover certain navigable waters of Garrison Channel, Seddon Channel Turning Basin, and the Hillsborough River, in the vicinity of downtown Tampa, Florida. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of persons, vessels, and navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled events. All persons and vessels would be required to transit through the safety zone at a steady speed and may not slow down, stop or anchor except in the case of unforeseen mechanical failure or other emergency unless given prior authorization from the COTP. Any person or vessel forced to slow or stop in the established zone must immediately notify the Captain of the Port Tampa via VHF channel 16.

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.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size, location, scope and duration of the safety zone. The rule will impact only a small designated area of Garrison Channel, Seddon Channel Turning Basin, and the Hillsborough River in the vicinity of downtown Tampa, Florida, and vessel traffic will be able to safely operate in the area with minimal restrictions, hence the safety zone is limited in size and location.
Vessels will be able to transit through

the safety zone at a steady speed, making it limited in scope. The safety zone will be in effect for ten days, making it limited in duration. The Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHFFM Channel 16 about the safety zone.
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 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 the reasons stated in section IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
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 213a of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 Pub. L. 104121, 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 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. 35013520.
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
