We do not plan to hold a public
meeting. But you may submit a request
for a meeting by writing to Sector
Boston at the address under ADDRESSES
explaining why one would be
beneficial. If we determine that one
would aid this rulemaking, we will hold
one at a time and place announced by
a later notice in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
This rule proposes to establish a
safety zone on the waters of Marblehead
Harbor within a 400-yard radius of the
fireworks barge located at approximate
position 42°30′.548″ N, 070°50′.098″ W.
The safety zone would be in effect from
8:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. on July 4, 2005.
The rain date for the fireworks event is
from 8:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. EDT on
July 5, 2005.
The safety zone would temporarily
restrict movement within this effected
portion of Marblehead Harbor and is
needed to protect the maritime public
from the dangers posed by a fireworks
display. Marine traffic may transit safely
outside the safety zone during the
effective period. The Captain of the port
does not anticipate any negative impact
on vessel traffic due to this event. Public
notifications will be made prior to the
effective period of this proposed rule via
safety marine information broadcasts
and Local Notice to Mariners.

Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
temporary safety zone in Marblehead
Harbor, Marblehead, Massachusetts. The
safety zone would be in effect from 8:30
p.m. until 10 p.m. on July 4, 2005, with
a Rain date of 8:30 p.m. until 10 p.m.
EDT on July 5, 2005. Marine traffic may
transit safely outside of the safety zone
in the majority of Marblehead Harbor
during the event. This safety zone will
control vessel traffic during the
fireworks display to protect the safety of
the maritime public.
Due to the limited time frame of the
firework display, the Captain of the Port
anticipates minimal negative impact on
vessel traffic due to this event. Public
notifications will be made prior to the
effective period via local media, local
notice to mariners and marine
information broadcasts.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office
of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. It is not
‘‘significant’’ under the regulatory
policies and procedures of the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this proposed rule
to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation under the regulatory policies
and procedures of DHS is unnecessary.
Although this rule will prevent traffic
from transiting a portion of Marblehead
Harbor during the effective period, the
effects of this rule will not be significant
for several reasons: Vessels will be
excluded from the proscribed area for
only one and one half hours, and
advance notifications will be made to
the local maritime community by
marine information broadcasts and
Local Notice to Mariners.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), the Coast Guard
considered whether this proposed rule
would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The term ‘‘small entities’’
comprises small businesses, not-forprofit 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 proposed rule
E:\FR\FM\13MYP1.SGM
13MYP1
25508
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 92 / Friday, May 13, 2005 / Proposed Rules
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
This proposed rule would affect the
following entities, some of which may
be small entities: the owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in the affected portion of
Marblehead Harbor from 8:30 p.m. EDT
July 4, 2005 to 10 p.m. EDT on July 4,
2005 or during the same hours on July
5.
This safety zone would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: This proposed
rule would be in effect for only one and
one half hours, vessel traffic can safely
pass around the safety zone during the
affected period, and advance
notification via safely marine
informational broadcast and Local
Notice to Mariners.
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 proposed rule so that
they can better evaluate its effects on
them and participate in the rulemaking.
If the rule would affect your small
business, organization, and government
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact Chief Petty
Officer at the address listed under
ADDRESSES. 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.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on State or local governments and
would either preempt State law or
impose a substantial direct cost of
compliance on them. We have analyzed
this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
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
VerDate jul<14>2003
14:47 May 12, 2005
Jkt 205001
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year.
Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do
discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule will not effect a
taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under
Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with
Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed 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.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed 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 pose an
environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that may disproportionately affect
children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed 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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Considering Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has not designated it as a significant
energy action. Therefore, it does not
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Commandant Coast Guard Instruction
M16475.1D, which guides the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors
in this case that would limit the use of
a categorical exclusion under 2.B.2 of
the Instruction. Therefore, we believe
that this rule is categorically excluded,
under figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(g) of
the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. A
preliminary ‘‘Environmental Analysis
Check List’’ is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES. This
rule fits the category selected from
paragraph (34)(g), as it would establish
a safety zone. Comments on this section
will be considered before we make the
final decision on whether to
categorically exclude this rule from
further environmental review.

Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes
establishing a temporary safety zone in
a portion of Nahant Bay. The temporary
safety zone would be in effect from 8:30
p.m. EDT until 10:30 p.m. EDT on July
3, 2005. Marine traffic may transit safely
outside of the safety zone during the
event, thereby allowing navigation of
Nahant Bay except for the portion
delineated by this rule. This safety zone
would control vessel traffic during the
fireworks event to protect the safety of
the maritime public.
Given the limited time frame of the
fireworks display and because the zone
leaves the majority of Nahant Bay open
for navigation, the Captain of the Port
anticipates minimal negative impact on
vessel traffic due to this event. Public
notifications will be made prior to the
effective period via local media, local
notice to mariners and marine
information broadcasts.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,

The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this proposed rule
to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the
regulatory policies and procedures of
DHS is unnecessary.
Although this regulation prevents
vessel traffic from transiting into a
portion of Nahant Bay during this event,
the effect of this regulation will not be
significant for several reasons: vessels
will be excluded from the area of the
safety zone for only two hours, vessels
will be able to operate in the majority
of Nahant Bay during this time period;
and advance notifications will be made
to the local maritime community by
marine information broadcasts and
Local Notice to Mariners.

Background and Purpose
This rule proposes to establish a safety zone on the waters of
Marblehead Harbor within a 400-yard radius of the fireworks barge
located at approximate position 42[deg]30'.548'' N, 070[deg]50'.098''

maritime public from the dangers posed by a fireworks display. Marine
traffic may transit safely outside the safety zone during the effective
period. The Captain of the port does not anticipate any negative impact
on vessel traffic due to this event. Public notifications will be made

information broadcasts and Local Notice to Mariners.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in
Marblehead Harbor, Marblehead, Massachusetts. The safety zone would be
in effect from 8:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. on July 4, 2005, with a Rain
date of 8:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. EDT on July 5, 2005. Marine traffic may
transit safely outside of the safety zone in the majority of Marblehead
Harbor during the event. This safety zone will control vessel traffic
during the fireworks display to protect the safety of the maritime
public.
Due to the limited time frame of the firework display, the Captain
of the Port anticipates minimal negative impact on vessel traffic due
to this event. Public notifications will be made prior to the effective
period via local media, local notice to mariners and marine information
broadcasts.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. It is not ``significant''
under the regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory
policies and procedures of DHS is unnecessary.
Although this rule will prevent traffic from transiting a portion
of Marblehead Harbor during the effective period, the effects of this
rule will not be significant for several reasons: Vessels will be
excluded from the proscribed area for only one and one half hours, and
advance notifications will be made to the local maritime community by
marine information broadcasts and Local Notice to Mariners.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), the Coast
Guard considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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 proposed
rule
[[Page 25508]]
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the affected portion of Marblehead
Harbor from 8:30 p.m. EDT July 4, 2005 to 10 p.m. EDT on July 4, 2005
or during the same hours on July 5.
This safety zone would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
proposed rule would be in effect for only one and one half hours,
vessel traffic can safely pass around the safety zone during the
affected period, and advance notification via safely marine
informational broadcast and Local Notice to Mariners.
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 proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, and government
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact Chief Petty Officer at the
address listed under ADDRESSES. 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.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

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 or more in any
one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule will not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed 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.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed 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
pose an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed 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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Considering Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a
``significant energy action'' under that order because it is not a
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is
not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a
significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement
of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Coast Guard Instruction
M16475.1D, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors in this case that would limit
the use of a categorical exclusion under 2.B.2 of the Instruction.
Therefore, we believe that this rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. A preliminary ``Environmental Analysis
Check List'' is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. This rule fits the category selected from paragraph (34)(g),
as it would establish a safety zone. Comments on this section will be
considered before we make the final decision on whether to
categorically exclude this rule from further environmental review.
