Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 105 / Thursday, June 3, 2021 / Proposed Rules
regulatory requirements in 33 CFR
100.501c rather than with the definitions. These definitions would be moved to the definition section and put into alphabetical order. Regulatory requirements for these areas will remain in the regulatory requirements portion of the regulation.
We would change the defined term of buffer area to buffer zone to comport with the more common usage.
The definition would be revised to reflect that it may sometimes be appropriate to have a buffer zone event if there is not a spectator area within the regulated area.
We would change the defined term Coast Guard Patrol Commander to Event Patrol Commander or Event PATCOM in alignment with updated local policy. The underlying associated definition would remain the same: A
Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty officer who has been designated by the COTP to act on their behalf.
We would change the defined term of official patrol to official patrol vessel or official patrol in alignment with updated local policy. The text of the
definition would remain unchanged except for some additional text at the end to allow the Event PATCOM to be augmented by local, state, or Federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast Guard in accordance with local agreements. This revision enhances the resources available to the COTP to ensure the safety and security of the public during these events.
We are proposing to remove the defined term spectator and add in its place definitions for participant and non-participant. This wording change better reflects who is actually present in and near regulated areas and how the Coast Guard regulates their activities.

manage and maintain safety and security for events within their Area of Responsibility. We have also updated the text to allow for other government agencies to provide enforcement when working under local agreements and added the term Event Patrol Commander Event PATCOM.
Collectively, these changes enable the local Captain of the Port to retain operational control and incorporate risk based decision making to the event.
Finally, authority has been given to the COTP, COTP representative, or Event PATCOM to postpone or cancel the event to ensure the safety of the event and the public.

Delegation of Authority for Determination of Requirement for a Marine Patrol
Updates to Recurring Events Table
We are proposing to amend current paragraph b, paragraph c in the proposed text, to delegate authority to the local COTP in determining when a marine patrol is required. This delegation of authority from the District Commander provides the local operational commander the ability to
This proposed rule would add 7 new special local regulations for recurring marine events, revise 12 previously established regulations for recurring marine events, and remove 14 recurring events listed in 100.501 for the reasons provided in the table. The revised events and the new events would be required to comply with the requirements in 33 CFR 100.501.
