NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
because the Coast Guard did not receive
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:16 Sep 08, 2014
Jkt 232001
necessary information about the event
until July 23, 2014. As a result, the
Coast Guard did not have sufficient time
to publish a NPRM and to receive public
comments prior to the event. Any delay
in the effective date of this rule would
be contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed to
minimize potential danger to the race
participants, participant vessels,
spectators, and the general public.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register for the same reasons discussed
above.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the rule is the
Coast Guard’s authority to establish
special local regulations: 33 U.S.C.
1233. The purpose of the rule is to
ensure safety of life on navigable waters
of the United States during the
Hydrocross.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
On September 13 and 14, 2014, HXR
INC Promotions will host the
Hydrocross, a series of high-speed
personal watercraft races. The
Hydrocross will be held on Lake Dora in
Tavares, Florida. Approximately 50
vessels are anticipated to participate in
the races. No spectator vessels are
expected to attend the Hydrocross.
The rule will establish a special local
regulation that encompasses certain
waters of Lake Dora in Tavares, Florida.
The special local regulation will be
enforced from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on
September 13 and 14, 2014. This special
local regulation is necessary to ensure
the safety of life on navigable waters of
the United States during the races. The
special local regulation will consist of
the following two areas: (1) A race area,
where all persons and vessels, except
those persons and vessels participating
in the high-speed personal watercraft
races, are prohibited from entering,
transiting, anchoring, or remaining; and
(2) a buffer zone around the race area,
where all persons and vessels, except
those persons and vessels enforcing the
buffer zone, or authorized participants
transiting to and from the race area, are
prohibited from entering, transiting,
anchoring, or remaining unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville or a designated
representative.
Persons and vessels may request
authorization to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the race
area or buffer zone by contacting the
Captain of the Port Jacksonville by
telephone at (904) 564–7513, or a
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
designated representative via VHF radio
on channel 16. If authorization to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain
within the race area or buffer zone is
granted by the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville or a designated
representative, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must
comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a
designated representative. The Coast
Guard will provide notice of the special
local regulations by Local Notice to
Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners,
and on-scene designated
representatives.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive
orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders.
The economic impact of this rule is
not significant for the following reasons:
(1) The special local regulation will be
enforced for only 16 hours; (2) although
persons and vessels will not be able to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the race area or buffer
zone without being an authorized
participant or enforcing the buffer zone,
or receiving authorization from the
Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a
designated representative, they may
operate in the surrounding area during
the enforcement periods; (3)
nonparticipant persons and vessels may
still enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the race area or buffer
zone if authorized by the Captain of the
Port Jacksonville or a designated
representative; and (4) the Coast Guard
will provide advance notification of the
special local regulation to the local
maritime community by Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.
2. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires federal agencies to consider the
E:\FR\FM\09SER1.SGM
09SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 174 / Tuesday, September 9, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
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 rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This rule may affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within
that portion of Lake Dora encompassed
within the special local regulation from
9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on September 13 and
14, 2014. For the reasons discussed in
the Executive Order 12866 and
Executive Order 13563 section above,
this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
3. Assistance for Small Entities
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 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 above.
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 agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). 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.
4. 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. 3501–3520).
16:16 Sep 08, 2014

6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact 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.
7. 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 rule
will not result in such expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under Executive Order
13211, Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), 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 a
special local regulation issued in
conjunction with a regatta or marine
parade. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

The BNSF
Railway Company has requested a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule of the swing span railroad
bridge across Boeuf Bayou, mile 10.2, in
Amelia, St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. The
deviation was requested for the purpose
of removal and reinstallation of the east
end reduction gear box, motor shaft, and
also to perform an alignment.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, the
bridge currently opens on signal for the
passage of vessels. This deviation allows
the swing span of the bridge to remain
in the closed-to-navigation position
from 7 a.m. through 2 p.m. on
September 18, 2014. At mean high
water, the bridge provides 6.6′ of
vertical clearance in the closed-tonavigation position. However, the
bridge will be able to open in the event
of an emergency.
Notices will be published in the
Eighth Coast Guard District Local Notice
to Mariners and will be broadcast via
the Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to
Mariners System.
Navigation at the site of the bridge
consists mainly of tows with barges and
some recreational pleasure craft. Due to
prior experience, as well as
coordination with waterway users, it
has been determined that this closure
will not have a significant effect on
these vessels. An alternate route is
available by using the GIWW, Morgan
City to Port Allen Alternate Route.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
because the Coast Guard did not receive necessary information about the
event until July 23, 2014. As a result, the Coast Guard did not have
sufficient time to publish a NPRM and to receive public comments prior
to the event. Any delay in the effective date of this rule would be
contrary to the public interest because immediate action is needed to
minimize potential danger to the race participants, participant
vessels, spectators, and the general public.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register for the same reasons discussed
above.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish special local regulations: 33 U.S.C. 1233. The purpose of the
rule is to ensure safety of life on navigable waters of the United
States during the Hydrocross.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
On September 13 and 14, 2014, HXR INC Promotions will host the
Hydrocross, a series of high-speed personal watercraft races. The
Hydrocross will be held on Lake Dora in Tavares, Florida. Approximately
50 vessels are anticipated to participate in the races. No spectator
vessels are expected to attend the Hydrocross.
The rule will establish a special local regulation that encompasses
certain waters of Lake Dora in Tavares, Florida. The special local
regulation will be enforced from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on September 13
and 14, 2014. This special local regulation is necessary to ensure the
safety of life on navigable waters of the United States during the
races. The special local regulation will consist of the following two
areas: (1) A race area, where all persons and vessels, except those
persons and vessels participating in the high-speed personal watercraft
races, are prohibited from entering, transiting, anchoring, or
remaining; and (2) a buffer zone around the race area, where all
persons and vessels, except those persons and vessels enforcing the
buffer zone, or authorized participants transiting to and from the race
area, are prohibited from entering, transiting, anchoring, or remaining
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a
designated representative.
Persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the race area or buffer zone by
contacting the Captain of the Port Jacksonville by telephone at (904)
564-7513, or a designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16.
If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the race area or buffer zone is granted by the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville or a designated representative, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative. The
Coast Guard will provide notice of the special local regulations by
Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and on-scene
designated representatives.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulation will be enforced
for only 16 hours; (2) although persons and vessels will not be able to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the race area or
buffer zone without being an authorized participant or enforcing the
buffer zone, or receiving authorization from the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville or a designated representative, they may operate in the
surrounding area during the enforcement periods; (3) nonparticipant
persons and vessels may still enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the race area or buffer zone if authorized by the Captain
of the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative; and (4) the
Coast Guard will provide advance notification of the special local
regulation to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
2. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the
[[Page 53293]]
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 rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within that portion of Lake Dora
encompassed within the special local regulation from 9 a.m. until 5
p.m. on September 13 and 14, 2014. For the reasons discussed in the
Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563 section above, this
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
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 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 above.
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 agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). 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.
4. 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. 3501-3520).
5. Federalism
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 determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact 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.
7. 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 rule will not result in
such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
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.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), 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 a special local regulation issued in
conjunction with a regatta or marine parade. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting
this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.
