SUMMARY: The Department of the Air
Force is deleting an exemption rule for
the system of records F031 DOD A,
entitled ‘‘Joint Personnel Adjudication
System (JPAS)’’. The system of records
was transferred to the Defense Security
Service and assigned the identifier V5–
05, entitled ‘‘Joint Personnel
Adjudication System (JPAS)’’, which
was published in the Federal Register
on July 1, 2005 (70 FR 38120). The
exemption rule for the system of records
also was transferred to the Defense
Security Service and incorporated into
its existing rules at 32 CFR 321.13(h)
which was published in the Federal
Register on July 1, 2005 (70 FR 38009).
The exemption rule for the system of
records is therefore being deleted.
DATES: Effective August 10, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory
Planning and Review’’
It has been determined that Privacy
Act rules for the Department of Defense
are not significant rules. The rules do
not (1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the
economy; a sector of the economy;
productivity; competition; jobs; the
environment; public health or safety; or
State, local, or tribal governments or
communities; (2) Create a serious
inconsistency or otherwise interfere

Public Law 96–354, ‘‘Regulatory
Flexibility Act’’ (5 U.S.C. Chapter 6)
It has been determined that Privacy
Act rules for the Department of Defense
do not have significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because they are concerned only with
the administration of Privacy Act
systems of records within the
Department of Defense.

grants, user fees, or loan programs, or
the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or (4) Raise novel legal or policy
issues arising out of legal mandates, the
President’s priorities, or the principles
set forth in this Executive order.
It has been determined that Privacy
Act rules for the Department of Defense
impose no information requirements
beyond the Department of Defense and
that the information collected within
the Department of Defense is necessary
and consistent with 5 U.S.C. 552a,
known as the Privacy Act of 1974.
Section 202, Public Law 104–4,
‘‘Unfunded Mandates Reform Act’’
It has been determined that Privacy
Act rulemaking for the Department of
Defense does not involve a Federal
mandate that may result in the
expenditure by State, local and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
and that such rulemaking will not
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments.
Executive Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism’’
It has been determined that Privacy
Act rules for the Department of Defense
do not have federalism implications.
The rules do not have substantial direct
effects 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.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: On July 15, 2005, the Coast
Guard published a temporary final rule
in the Federal Register establishing
temporary special local regulations for
the ‘‘Point Pleasant OPA/NJ Offshore
Grand Prix’’, a marine event to be held
on the waters of the Manasquan River,
Manasquan Inlet and Atlantic Ocean
between Point Pleasant Beach and Bay
Head, New Jersey. On July 21, 2005, the
Coast Guard learned that this marine
event was proposed to be conducted at
a different location. This rule changes
the location of the temporary regulated
area. These special local regulations are
necessary to provide for the safety of life
on navigable waters during the event.
This action is intended to restrict vessel
traffic in the regulated area during the
event.
DATES: This rule is effective from 9:30
a.m. on August 12, 2005, to 3:30 p.m. on
August 13, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this

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) the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for not publishing an NPRM. The new
location of where the powerboat race
was proposed to be conducted was not
known in sufficient time to allow for the
publication of an NPRM followed by
publication of an effective rule before
the event. Delaying this rule would be
contrary to the public interest of
ensuring the safety of life at sea during
this event. The event will begin on
August 12, 2005. Because of the danger
posed by high-speed powerboats racing
in a closed circuit, special local
regulations are necessary to provide for
the safety of event participants,
spectator craft and other vessels
transiting the event area. For the safety
concerns noted, it is in the public
interest to have these regulations in
effect during the event.
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. Delaying the effective date
would be contrary to the public interest,
since immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of the event
participants, spectator craft and other
vessels transiting the regulated area.
However, advance notifications will be
made to affected users of the river and
adjacent coastal area via marine
information broadcasts and area
newspapers.
Background and Purpose
On August 12, 2005, the Offshore
Performance Association and the New
Jersey Offshore Racing Association will
sponsor the ‘‘Point Pleasant OPA/NJ
Offshore Grand Prix’’. The event will
consist of approximately 40 offshore
powerboats racing in heats counterclockwise around a 5.5 mile racecourse
on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. A
fleet of spectator vessels is expected to
gather in the Atlantic Ocean near the
event site to view the competition. To
provide for the safety of participants,
spectators and other transiting vessels,
the Coast Guard will temporarily restrict
vessel traffic in the event area during
the races.

Jkt 205001
Discussion of the Amendment to the
Temporary Final Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing
temporary special local regulations on
specified waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
This amendment to the rule changes the
location of the regulated area to include
all the waters of the Atlantic Ocean
within approximately 1.5 miles of the
shoreline between Normandy Beach and
Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The
temporary special local regulations will
be enforced from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30
p.m. on August 12, 2005. If the races are
postponed due to weather, then the
temporary special local regulations will
be enforced during the same time period
the next day. The effect of the temporary
special local regulations will be to
restrict general navigation in the
regulated area during the races. Except
for persons or vessels authorized by the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no
person or vessel may enter or remain in
the regulated area. Non-participating
vessels will be allowed to transit the
regulated area between races, when the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander
determines it is safe to do so. These
regulations are needed to control vessel
traffic during the event to enhance the
safety of participants, spectators and
transiting 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).
We expect the economic impact of
this temporary final rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation under the regulatory policies
and procedures of DHS is unnecessary.
Although this regulation prevents
traffic from transiting a portion of the
Atlantic Ocean during the event, the
effect of this regulation will not be
significant due to the limited duration
that the regulated area will be in effect
and the extensive advance notifications
that will be made to the maritime
community via marine information
broadcasts and area newspapers so
mariners can adjust their plans
accordingly.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
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 transit this area of
the Atlantic Ocean during the event.
This rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the
following reasons. This rule will be in
effect for only a short period. The Patrol
Commander will allow nonparticipating vessels to transit the event
area between races. Before the
enforcement period, we will issue
maritime advisories so mariners can
adjust their plans accordingly.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 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. 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 address listed under ADDRESSES.
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,
E:\FR\FM\10AUR1.SGM
10AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 10, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
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
will 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
and direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Governments 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
VerDate jul<14>2003
14:42 Aug 09, 2005
Jkt 205001
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 M16475.1D,
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 section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this
rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(h), of the
Instruction, from further environmental
documentation. Special local
regulations issued in conjunction with a
regatta or marine parade permit are
specifically excluded from further
analysis and documentation under those
sections. Under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(h), of the Instruction, an
‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’
and a ‘‘Categorical Exclusion
Determination’’ are not required for this
rule.

SUMMARY: On July 15, 2005, the Coast Guard published a temporary final
rule in the Federal Register establishing temporary special local
regulations for the ``Point Pleasant OPA/NJ Offshore Grand Prix'', a
marine event to be held on the waters of the Manasquan River, Manasquan
Inlet and Atlantic Ocean between Point Pleasant Beach and Bay Head, New
Jersey. On July 21, 2005, the Coast Guard learned that this marine
event was proposed to be conducted at a different location. This rule
changes the location of the temporary regulated area. These special
local regulations are necessary to provide for the safety of life on
navigable waters during the event. This action is intended to restrict
vessel traffic in the regulated area during the event.
DATES: This rule is effective from 9:30 a.m. on August 12, 2005, to
3:30 p.m. on August 13, 2005.

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) the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. The new location of where the
powerboat race was proposed to be conducted was not known in sufficient
time to allow for the publication of an NPRM followed by publication of
an effective rule before the event. Delaying this rule would be
contrary to the public interest of ensuring the safety of life at sea
during this event. The event will begin on August 12, 2005. Because of
the danger posed by high-speed powerboats racing in a closed circuit,
special local regulations are necessary to provide for the safety of
event participants, spectator craft and other vessels transiting the
event area. For the safety concerns noted, it is in the public interest
to have these regulations in effect during the event.
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. Delaying the effective date would
be contrary to the public interest, since immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of the event participants, spectator craft and other
vessels transiting the regulated area. However, advance notifications
will be made to affected users of the river and adjacent coastal area
via marine information broadcasts and area newspapers.
Background and Purpose
On August 12, 2005, the Offshore Performance Association and the
New Jersey Offshore Racing Association will sponsor the ``Point
Pleasant OPA/NJ Offshore Grand Prix''. The event will consist of
approximately 40 offshore powerboats racing in heats counter-clockwise
around a 5.5 mile racecourse on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. A
fleet of spectator vessels is expected to gather in the Atlantic Ocean
near the event site to view the competition. To provide for the safety

The Coast Guard is establishing temporary special local regulations
on specified waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This amendment to the rule
changes the location of the regulated area to include all the waters of
the Atlantic Ocean within approximately 1.5 miles of the shoreline
between Normandy Beach and Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The temporary
special local regulations will be enforced from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30

then the temporary special local regulations will be enforced during
the same time period the next day. The effect of the temporary special
local regulations will be to restrict general navigation in the
regulated area during the races. Except for persons or vessels
authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may
enter or remain in the regulated area. Non-participating vessels will
be allowed to transit the regulated area between races, when the Coast
Guard Patrol Commander determines it is safe to do so. These
regulations are needed to control vessel traffic during the event to
enhance the safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section

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

rule will be in effect for only a short period. The Patrol Commander
will allow non-participating vessels to transit the event area between
races. Before the enforcement period, we will issue maritime advisories
so mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.

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,
[[Page 46407]]
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 will 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 and direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Governments 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 M16475.1D,
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 section 2.B.2 of the
Instruction. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. Special local regulations issued in
conjunction with a regatta or marine parade permit are specifically
excluded from further analysis and documentation under those sections.
Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' and a ``Categorical Exclusion
Determination'' are not required for this rule.
