Department will maintain a Web site to
disseminate information about closures.
Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife also had concerns about
potential disturbance to sensitive
wildlife species, including Steller sea
lions, snowy plovers, and sea turtles.
The use of the danger zone is not
expected to increase impacts to any
wildlife. A danger zone is a buffer
established around a firing range for
unexpected errant rounds or explosive
fragments. In addition, establishing a
buffer is intended to increase public
safety during training on the firing
ranges, but is not granting permission
for the National Guard to perform
training. Increased activity due to the
danger zone determination would be
limited to hanging warning flags and
posting guards on the beach. This type
of activity is entirely consistent with
existing activity on the beach and would
not increase impacts to sensitive
wildlife species in the area.
environmental impact statement is not
required. An environmental assessment
has been prepared and may be reviewed
at the District office listed at the end of

section, above.
d. Unfunded Mandates Act. This rule
does not impose an enforceable duty
among the private sector and, therefore,
it is not a Federal private section
mandate and it is not subject to the
requirements of either section 202 or
Section 205 of the Unfunded Mandates
Act. We have also found under Section
203 of the Act that small governments
will not be significantly and uniquely
affected by this rulemaking.
Procedural Requirements
a. Review Under Executive Order
12866. This final rule is issued with
respect to a military function of the
Defense Department and the provisions
of Executive Order 12866 do not apply.
b. Review Under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. This rule has been
reviewed under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354). The
Regulatory Flexibility Act generally
requires an agency to prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule
subject to the notice-and-comment
rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the agency certifies
that the rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities (i.e., small
businesses and small governments). The
danger zone is necessary to protect
public safety and satisfy the Oregon
National Guard’s operations
requirements for small arms training.
Small entities can utilize navigable
waters in the danger zone when the
danger zone is not activated by the
Oregon National Guard. When the
danger zone is activated, small entities
can utilize navigable waters outside of
the danger zone. After considering the
economic impacts of this danger zone
regulation on small entities, I certify
that this action will not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
c. Review Under the National
Environmental Policy Act. The Corps
has determined that this regulation will
not have a significant impact to the
quality of the human environment and,
therefore, preparation of an

For the reasons stated in the
preamble, the Corps amends 33 CFR
part 334 as follows:
1. The authority citation for 33 CFR
part 334 continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 40 Stat. 266 (33 U.S.C. 1) and
40 Stat. 892 (33 U.S.C. 3).
■
2. Add § 334.1175 to read as follows:
§ 334.1175 Pacific Ocean, at Camp Rilea,
Clatsop County, Oregon; Danger Zone.
(a) The danger zone. The danger zone
shall encompass all navigable waters of
the United States, as defined at 33 CFR
part 329, within an area bounded as
follows: Beginning at latitude
46°09′00.32″ N, longitude 123°57′52.57″
W; thence to latitude 46°09′00.32″ N,
longitude 124°01′03.92″ W; thence to
latitude 46°05′25.38″ N, longitude
124°01′03.92″ W; thence to latitude
46°05′25.38″ N, longitude 123°56′23.19″
W. The datum for these coordinates is
WGS84.
(b) The regulations. (1) No person or
vessel shall enter or remain in the
danger zone when restrictions are in
force during weapons range training
activities. At all other times, nothing in
this regulation prohibits any lawful uses
of this area.
(2) A schedule for proposed closures
of the danger zone will be furnished to
the Coast Guard, Astoria Command
Center one week in advance of range
training activities to provide local notice
to mariners. Changes to the schedule
made less than one week in advance of
the event will be transmitted to the
Command Center on the day the change
is made.
(3) At least 30 minutes prior to
restricting navigation in the danger

zone, red flags will be raised on wooden
poles immediately next to the beach at
the north and south boundaries of Camp
Rilea. The red flags will remain flying
while the ranges are in use. During night
weapons training activities, red lights
will be substituted for the flags. Closure
announcements will be broadcast over
marine VHF Channel 16/19. When range
training activities are completed, the red
flags will be removed and an
announcement made over marine VHF
Channel 16/19 that restrictions are
lifted.
(4) When restrictions are in force,
Camp Rilea will visually monitor the
danger zone using radar and guards,
equipped with binoculars and two-way
radios, posted on the beach near the
north and south boundaries of the
Camp. If a vessel is detected in the
danger zone, a cease fire will be called
on all active weapons ranges and Camp
Rilea will attempt to contact the vessel
using marine VHF radio. Cease fire will
be maintained until the vessel leaves the
danger zone.
(c) Enforcement. The regulations in
this section shall be enforced by the
Commanding Officer, Camp Rilea,
Oregon and such agencies as he/she
may designate.

The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) is amending its
restricted area/danger zone regulations
to establish a new restricted area in the
waters surrounding U.S. Coast Guard
Sector Jacksonville facilities at Station
Mayport, Jacksonville, Florida (Station

facility maintains a high operational
tempo for both routine and emergency
operations. This amendment to the
existing regulations is necessary to
enhance the USCG’s ability to counter
postulated threats against their
personnel, equipment, cutters and
facilities by providing a stand-off buffer
encompassing the waters immediately
contiguous to the Station Mayport. The
amendment will also serve to protect
the general public from injury or
property damage during routine and
emergency USCG operations and
provide an explosive safety arc buffer
during periodic transfer of ammunitions
between units, including cutters.

Pursuant
to its authorities in Section 7 of the
Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat
266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter XIX of the
Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40
Stat 892; 33 U.S.C. 3) the Corps is
amending the regulations in 33 CFR part
334 by adding § 334.505 to establish a
new restricted area in the waters of the
St. Johns River adjacent to Station
Mayport. The amendment to this
regulation will allow the Commanding
Officer, U.S. Coast Guard Station
Mayport to restrict passage of persons,
watercraft, and vessels in waters
contiguous to this Command, thereby
providing greater security to the
personnel, equipment, cutters and
facilities housed at the site.
The proposed rule was published in
the July 17, 2014, issue of the Federal
Register (79 FR 41664), and its
regulations.gov docket number is COE–
2014–0009. In response to the proposed
rule, one comment was provided by the
Marine Chart Division, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. The concern voiced
pertained to the lack of information
regarding what horizontal datum was
associated with the latitude/longitude
coordinates used to define the restricted
area. In response to the comment
received, we have modified the rule text
to include datum information within the
body of the final rule.

II. Background and Statutory Findings
In the Federal Register of October 24,
2014 (79 FR 63594) (FRL–9916–03),
EPA issued a document pursuant to
FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a
pesticide tolerance petition (PP 4F8251)
by J.R. Simplot Company, 5369 W.
Irving St., Boise, ID 83706. In the
Federal Register of December 17, 2014
(79 FR 75107) (FRL–9918–90), EPA
inadvertently reannounced the filing of
this same petition. The petition
requested that 40 CFR part 174 be
amended by establishing a temporary
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of Potato Late
Blight Resistance protein VTN1 in or on
potato. Those documents referenced a
summary of the petition prepared by the
petitioner J.R. Simplot Company, which
is available in the docket, https://
www.regulations.gov. Comments were
received, and EPA’s response to these
comments is discussed in Unit VII.B.
Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA
allows EPA to establish an exemption
from the requirement for a tolerance (the
legal limit for a pesticide chemical
residue in or on a food) only if EPA
determines that the exemption is ‘‘safe.’’

33 CFR Part 334
St. Johns River, U.S. Coast Guard Station Mayport, Sector
Jacksonville, Florida; Restricted Area
AGENCY: United States Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is amending its
restricted area/danger zone regulations to establish a new restricted
area in the waters surrounding U.S. Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville
facilities at Station Mayport, Jacksonville, Florida (Station Mayport).
Station Mayport is situated on the south side of the St. Johns River
which, as the primary federal navigable channel entering the Port of
Jacksonville, is heavily transited by commercial and recreational
vessels. This United States Coast Guard (USCG)
[[Page 9386]]
facility maintains a high operational tempo for both routine and
emergency operations. This amendment to the existing regulations is
necessary to enhance the USCG's ability to counter postulated threats
against their personnel, equipment, cutters and facilities by providing
a stand-off buffer encompassing the waters immediately contiguous to
the Station Mayport. The amendment will also serve to protect the
general public from injury or property damage during routine and
emergency USCG operations and provide an explosive safety arc buffer
during periodic transfer of ammunitions between units, including
cutters.
DATES: Effective March 25, 2015.
ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attn: CECW-CO (David B.
Olson), 441 G Street NW., Washington, DC 20314-1000.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Olson, Headquarters,
Operations and Regulatory Community of Practice, Washington, DC at 202-
761-4922 or Mr. Mark R. Evans, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Jacksonville District, Regulatory Division, at 904-232-2028.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to its authorities in Section 7 of
the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and
Chapter XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 Stat 892; 33
U.S.C. 3) the Corps is amending the regulations in 33 CFR part 334 by
adding Sec. 334.505 to establish a new restricted area in the waters
of the St. Johns River adjacent to Station Mayport. The amendment to
this regulation will allow the Commanding Officer, U.S. Coast Guard
Station Mayport to restrict passage of persons, watercraft, and vessels
in waters contiguous to this Command, thereby providing greater
security to the personnel, equipment, cutters and facilities housed at
the site.
The proposed rule was published in the July 17, 2014, issue of the
Federal Register (79 FR 41664), and its regulations.gov docket number
is COE-2014-0009. In response to the proposed rule, one comment was
provided by the Marine Chart Division, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. The concern voiced pertained to the lack of information
regarding what horizontal datum was associated with the latitude/
longitude coordinates used to define the restricted area. In response
to the comment received, we have modified the rule text to include
datum information within the body of the final rule.
Procedural Requirements
a. Review Under Executive Order 12866. This regulation is issued
with respect to a military function of the Department of Defense and
the provisions of Executive Order 12866 do not apply.
b. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This rule has been
reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354). The
Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to the notice-and-
comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act
or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities (i.e., small businesses and small governments). The restricted
area regulations is necessary to protect USCG personnel, equipment,
cutters, and facilities at Station Mayport. The restricted area is also
necessary to protect the general public from injury or property damage
during routine and emergency USCG operations. Small entities can
continue to use the navigable waters of St. Johns River that are
outside of the restricted area. After considering the economic impacts
of this danger zone regulation on small entities, I certify that this
action will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
c. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act. This
regulation will not have a significant impact to the quality of the
human environment and, therefore, preparation of an environmental
impact statement will not be required. An environmental assessment has
been prepared. It may be reviewed at the district office listed at the
end of FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, above.
d. Unfunded Mandates Act. This regulation does not impose an
enforceable duty among the private sector and, therefore, is not a
Federal private sector mandate and is not subject to the requirements
of Section 202 or 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (Pub. L. 104-
4, 109 Stat. 48, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). We have also found under
Section 203 of the Act, that small governments will not be
significantly or uniquely affected by this regulation.
