SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone
offshore of Camp Rilea, Warrenton,
Oregon. Small arms training and fire
will be conducted within this zone, and
a safety zone is needed to ensure the
safety of persons and vessels operating
in this area during the specified periods.
Entry into this safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port or his/her designated
representative.
Background and Purpose
This rule is effective from 6 a.m.
July 25, 2005 through 9 p.m. July 29,
2005.
This safety zone will be in effect to
ensure the safety of persons and vessels
in the vicinity of the live fire training.
Entry into this safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port or his/her designated
representative. A Coast Guard vessel
will be on scene to ensure that the
public is aware that the firing exercises
are in progress and that the firing area
is clear of traffic before firing
commences. All persons and vessels
shall comply with the instructions of
the Captain of the Port or his/her
designated on-scene U.S. Coast Guard
representative. On-scene Coast Guard
patrol personnel include commissioned,
warrant, and petty officers of the Coast
Guard on board Coast Guard, Coast
Guard Auxiliary, and local, state, and
federal law enforcement vessels.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for not publishing
an NPRM and for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
In order to maintain an increased
maritime security posture, the Coast
Guard has increased training
requirements for the carriage of
weapons during homeland security
operations. The crews required to carry
out homeland security operations must
be trained to perform their operational
obligations. Crews from multiple units
along the Oregon and Washington coasts
are participating in this exercise. Unit
operational schedules converged to
make July 25–29 the only date to
accommodate all parties.
Publishing an NPRM and delaying the
effective date of this rule would be
contrary to the public interest since
immediate action is necessary to
minimize potential danger to the public
from small arms fire during the live fire
training. Such training is necessary in
order to ensure Coast Guard crews are
qualified to carry Crew Served Weapons
required to fulfill their Military and
Homeland Security responsibilities.

Changes in Coast Guard policy and
procedures require small boat crews to
train on and fire crew served weapons
from a vessel. In order to ensure the
safety of persons and vessels operating
in vicinity of this training from July 25,
2005 through July 29, 2005 a safety zone
will be in effect during all small arms
firing evolutions.
Discussion of Rule
Regulatory Evaluation
This 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). This rule only affects a small
area for a limited duration. The
proposed regulations have been tailored
in scope to impose the least impact on
maritime interests, yet provide the level
of safety necessary for such an event.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this 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 rule will not have
E:\FR\FM\28JYR1.SGM
28JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 144 / Thursday, July 28, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This rule will affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: the owners or operators of
vessels intending to anchor, fish or
transit through the zone during the
periods of enforcement from July 25,
2005 through July 29, 2005. The Coast
Guard expects a minimal economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities because the zone is in effect
essentially during day light hours only
for 4 days, there is little commercial
activity in this area during the month of
July, and vessels will be able to freely
transit the areas outside of the safety
zone.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we offered to assist small entities in
understanding the rule so that they
could better evaluate its effects on them
and participate in the rulemaking
process.
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).
Collection of Information
This rule calls 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 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
14:10 Jul 27, 2005
Jkt 205001
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year.
Though this rule will not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This 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 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 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.
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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning 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
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
43637
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 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 Instruction M16475.lD,
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 section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this
rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(g), of the
Instruction, from further environmental
documentation. Categorical Exclusion is
provided for temporary safety zones of
less than one week in duration. A final
‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’
and a final ‘‘Categorical Exclusion
Determination’’ are available in the
docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Frazer C. Hilder, Office of the Chief
Counsel, 202–366–4400.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On September 24, 2004, the Research
and Special Programs Administration—
the predecessor agency to the Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA)—published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM;
69 FR 57245) proposing to add a
definition for ‘‘person who offers or
offeror’’ to the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171–
180). Consistent with previously issued
administrative determinations, as
discussed in the NPRM (69 FR 57247–
48) and placed in the docket for this
rulemaking, we proposed to define
‘‘person who offers or offeror’’ to mean
‘‘[a]ny person who does either or both
of the following: (i) Performs, or is
responsible for performing, any pretransportation function required under
[the HMR] for transportation of the
hazardous material [or] (ii) Tenders or
makes the hazardous material available
to a carrier for transportation in
commerce.’’ The proposed definition
specifically excluded a carrier that
transfers, interlines, or interchanges
hazardous materials to another carrier
for continued transportation when the
carrier does not perform any pretransportation functions associated with
the shipment. We further proposed to
clarify that an offeror or a carrier may
rely on information provided by a prior
offeror or carrier unless the offeror or
carrier ‘‘knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care, should know’’ that the
information provided is incorrect.
II. Summary of Final Rule
In this final rule, we are making the
following revisions to the HMR:
• We are defining ‘‘person who offers
or offeror’’ to mean any person who
performs or is responsible for
performing any pre-transportation
function required by the HMR or who
tenders or makes the hazardous material
available to a carrier for transportation
in commerce. A carrier is not an offeror
when it performs a function as a
condition of accepting a hazardous
material for transportation in commerce
or when it transfers a hazardous
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
material to another carrier for continued
transportation without performing a pretransportation function.
• We are clarifying that there may be
more than one offeror of a hazardous
material and that each offeror is
responsible only for the specific pretransportation functions that it performs
or is required to perform.
• We are clarifying that each offeror
or carrier may rely on information
provided by a previous offeror or carrier
unless the offeror or carrier knows or, a
reasonable person acting in the
circumstances and exercising reasonable
care, would have knowledge that the
information provided is incorrect.
III. Comments to the NPRM
We received 16 comments to the
NPRM from industry associations and
individual shippers and carriers. Most
commenters are supportive of the goals
of this rulemaking, but raise concerns
related to the specific definition
proposed and its impact on both offerors
and carriers. These comments are
discussed in detail below.
Several commenters raise issues that
are beyond the scope of this rulemaking.
For example, United Air Lines, and the
Air Transport Association reiterate their
objections to a formal interpretation,
published February 23, 2003, that
clarified the timing of ‘‘offer’’ and
‘‘acceptance’’ of passenger baggage; they
request a comprehensive rulemaking on
this subject. Because that issue is
beyond the scope of this rulemaking, it
is not addressed in this final rule.
A. Reasonable Reliance and Liability
As noted above, the NPRM proposed
to clarify in § 171.2 that an offeror or
carrier of a hazardous material may rely
on information provided by a previous
offeror or carrier in the absence of
knowledge that the information is
incorrect. Several commenters suggest
that the language proposed in the NPRM
is ambiguous and should be clarified.
‘‘The ‘should know’ standard should be
interpreted as meaning that a carrier
cannot rely on information given to the
carrier when the carrier actually has
credible information that the
information provided by the offeror is
incorrect.’’ (Association of American
Railroads) Several commenters object to
the use of the phrase ‘‘should know’’ in
the NPRM, noting that a ‘‘carrier must
be permitted to rely upon [the shipper’s
certification] and conclude that pretransportation functions have been
performed in accordance with all
hazardous materials regulations.’’
(American Trucking Associations)
These commenters suggest that we
should more closely follow the statutory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM and for
making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register.
In order to maintain an increased maritime security posture, the
Coast Guard has increased training requirements for the carriage of
weapons during homeland security operations. The crews required to
carry out homeland security operations must be trained to perform their
operational obligations. Crews from multiple units along the Oregon and
Washington coasts are participating in this exercise. Unit operational
schedules converged to make July 25-29 the only date to accommodate all
parties.
Publishing an NPRM and delaying the effective date of this rule
would be contrary to the public interest since immediate action is
necessary to minimize potential danger to the public from small arms
fire during the live fire training. Such training is necessary in order
to ensure Coast Guard crews are qualified to carry Crew Served Weapons
required to fulfill their Military and Homeland Security
responsibilities.
Background and Purpose
Changes in Coast Guard policy and procedures require small boat
crews to train on and fire crew served weapons from a vessel. In order
to ensure the safety of persons and vessels operating in vicinity of
this training from July 25, 2005 through July 29, 2005 a safety zone
will be in effect during all small arms firing evolutions.
Discussion of Rule
This safety zone will be in effect to ensure the safety of persons
and vessels in the vicinity of the live fire training. Entry into this
safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port
or his/her designated representative. A Coast Guard vessel will be on
scene to ensure that the public is aware that the firing exercises are
in progress and that the firing area is clear of traffic before firing
commences. All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions
of the Captain of the Port or his/her designated on-scene U.S. Coast
Guard representative. On-scene Coast Guard patrol personnel include
commissioned, warrant, and petty officers of the Coast Guard on board
Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, and local, state, and federal law
enforcement vessels.
Regulatory Evaluation
This 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). This rule only affects a small area for a limited
duration. The proposed regulations have been tailored in scope to
impose the least impact on maritime interests, yet provide the level of
safety necessary for such an event.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this 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 rule will
not have
[[Page 43637]]
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to anchor,
fish or transit through the zone during the periods of enforcement from
July 25, 2005 through July 29, 2005. The Coast Guard expects a minimal
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the
zone is in effect essentially during day light hours only for 4 days,
there is little commercial activity in this area during the month of
July, and vessels will be able to freely transit the areas outside of
the safety zone.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offered to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they could better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
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).
Collection of Information
This rule calls 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 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 aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This 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 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 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.
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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning 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 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 Instruction M16475.lD,
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 section 2.B.2 of the Instruction.
Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction, from further environmental
documentation. Categorical Exclusion is provided for temporary safety
zones of less than one week in duration. A final ``Environmental
Analysis Check List'' and a final ``Categorical Exclusion
Determination'' are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
