example, deletion 5p syndrome, also called
cri du chat syndrome), or inborn metabolic
disorders (for example, Tay-Sachs disease),
we need evidence from an acceptable
medical source that includes a clinical
description of the diagnostic physical
features of your impairment, and the report
of the definitive laboratory study (for
example, genetic analysis or evidence of
biochemical abnormalities) that is diagnostic
of your impairment. When we do not have
the actual laboratory report, we need
evidence from an acceptable medical source
that is persuasive that a positive diagnosis
was confirmed by appropriate laboratory
analysis at some time prior to our evaluation.
To be persuasive, the report must state that
the appropriate definitive laboratory study
was conducted and that the results confirmed
the diagnosis. The report must be consistent
with other evidence in your case record.
b. Other disorders. For infants born with
other kinds of catastrophic congenital
abnormalities (for example, anencephaly,
cyclopia), we need evidence from an
acceptable medical source that includes a
clinical description of the diagnostic physical
features of the impairment.
C. How Do We Evaluate Impairments That
Affect Multiple Body Systems and That Do
Not Meet the Criteria of the Listings in This
Body System?
1. These listings are examples of
impairments that commonly affect multiple
body systems and that we consider
significant enough to result in marked and
severe functional limitations. If your severe
impairment(s) does not meet the criteria of
any of these listings, we must also consider
whether your impairment(s) meets the
criteria of a listing in another body system.
2. There are many other impairments that
can cause deviation from, or interruption of,
the normal function of the body or interfere
with development; for example, congenital
anomalies, chromosomal disorders,
dysmorphic syndromes, metabolic disorders,
and perinatal infectious diseases. In these
impairments, the degree of deviation or
interruption may vary widely from child to
child. Therefore, the resulting functional
limitations and the progression of those
limitations are more variable than with the
catastrophic congenital abnormalities and
diseases we include in these listings. For this
reason, we evaluate the specific effects of
these impairments on you under the listing
criteria in any affected body system(s) on an
individual case basis. Examples of such
impairments include, but are not limited to,
triple X syndrome (XXX syndrome), fragile X
syndrome, phenylketonuria (PKU), caudal
regression syndrome, and fetal alcohol
syndrome.
3. If you have a severe medically
determinable impairment(s) that does not
meet a listing, we will consider whether your
impairment(s) medically equals a listing. If
your impairment(s) does not meet or
medically equal a listing, we will consider
whether it functionally equals the listings.
(See §§ 404.1526, 416.926, and 416.926a.)
When we decide whether you continue to be
disabled, we use the rules in § 416.994a.

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
the Stormwater Conveyance System
Construction Project located off of
Northerly Island, Lake Michigan,
Chicago, IL. The safety zone is necessary
to protect vessels and persons from
potential hazards during the initial
tunneling phase of the project. This
phase will involve extensive blasting
operations. This safety zone is intended
to restrict vessels from a portion of Lake
Michigan in Chicago, IL.
DATES: This rule is effective from 8 a.m.
(local) on August 22, 2005 until 8 a.m.
(local) on October 22, 2005. Captain of
the Port Lake Michigan or the on scene
Patrol Commander may terminate this
event at anytime.

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. This safety
zone is temporary in nature and limited
time existed for an NPRM. The Coast
Guard was not made aware that this
event was to take place with sufficient
time to allow for publication of an
NPRM followed by a final rule. 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 this rule would be
impracticable and immediate action is
necessary to ensure the safety of
personnel and vessels during the
operational period. During the
enforcement of this safety zone,
comments will be accepted and
reviewed and may result in a
modification to the rule.
Background and Purpose
A temporary safety zone is necessary
to ensure the safety of vessels and
persons from the hazards associated
with a construction project on a
navigable waterway. The Captain of the
Port Lake Michigan has determined this
project in close proximity to watercraft
(Burnham Harbor) pose significant risks
to public safety and property. Blasting
operations in close proximity to the
water could easily result in serious
injuries or fatalities. Establishing a
safety zone to control vessel movement
around the location of the blasting site
will help ensure the safety of persons
and property and minimize the
associated risks. Entry into, transiting,
or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or his
designated On-Scene Representative via
VHF radio Channel 16.
Discussion of Rule
The safety zone will encompass all
waters of Lake Michigan bounded by the
arc of a circle with a radius of 150-feet
with its center at the shoreline of
Northerly Island in the approximate
position 41°51′12″ N, 087°36′30″ W.
These coordinates are based upon North
American Datum 1983 (NAD 1983). The
size of this zone was determined using
the safety guidelines and safety plan
provided by the construction contractor
and local knowledge concerning wind,
waves, and currents. All commercial
and recreational vessels must contact
E:\FR\FM\30AUR1.SGM
30AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 30, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
the Coast Guard Patrol Commander via
VHF–FM Channel 16 to request
permission to transit through the safety
zone.
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 proposed rule to be so minimal that
a full Regulatory Evaluation under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
DHS is unnecessary.
This finding is based on the relatively
small percentage of vessels that would
fall within the applicability of the
regulation, the relatively small size of
the limited area around the zone, the
minimal amount of time that vessels
will be restricted when the zone is being
enforced. In addition, vessels that will
need to enter the zone may request
permission on a case-by-case basis from
the Captain of the Port or the designated
on-scene representative.
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
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This rule may affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit through the
safety zone in and around the area.
This proposed rule would not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities because the
restrictions affect only a limited area for
a short duration. Further, transit
through the zone may be permitted with
proper authorization from the Captain of
the Port Lake Michigan or his
designated representative. Additionally,
the opportunity to engage in

recreational activities outside the limits
of the safety zone will not be disrupted.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
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 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–
800–734–3247.
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.
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

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.
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

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 30, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
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 made a preliminary determination
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, we believe this
rule should be categorically excluded,
under figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(g), of
the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. This
safety zone fits paragraph 34(g) because
it establishes a safety zone.
A preliminary ‘‘Environmental
Analysis Check List’’ is available in the
docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. Comments on this section
will be considered before we make the
final decision on whether the rule
should be excluded from further
environmental review.

Background and Purpose
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, a notice of
rulemaking (NPRM) has not been
published for this regulation and good
cause exists for making it effective
without publication of an NPRM in the
Federal Register. Publishing a NPRM
would be contrary to public interest

since immediate action is necessary to
ensure the safety of vessels and persons
that transit in the vicinity of the Tacoma
Narrows Bridge. If normal notice and
comment procedures were followed,
this rule would not become effective
until after the date of the event.
Temporary safety zones are necessary
to ensure the safety of vessels and
spectators from the hazards associated
with fireworks displays. Based on recent
accidents that have occurred in other
Captain of the Port zones, and the
explosive hazard of fireworks, the
Captain of the Port Buffalo has
determined fireworks launches in close
proximity to watercraft pose significant
risks to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of
recreational vessels, congested
waterways, darkness punctuated by
bright flashes of light, alcohol use, and
debris falling into the water could easily
result in serious injuries or fatalities.
Establishing a safety zone to control
vessel movement around the locations
of the launch platforms will help ensure
the safety of persons and property at
these events and help minimize the
associated risk.
Discussion of Rule
The safety zone consists of all
navigable waters of the Seneca River
within 800 foot radius of the fireworks
barge moored/anchored in approximate
position 43°09′27″ N, 076°20′25″ W. All
Geographic coordinates are North
American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). The
size of this zone was determined using
the National Fire Prevention
Association guidelines and local
knowledge concerning wind, waves,
and currents.
The Coast Guard believes this
regulation will not pose any new
problems for commercial vessels
transiting the area. In the unlikely event
that shipping is affected by this
regulation, commercial vessels may
request permission from the Captain of
the Port Buffalo to transit through the
safety zone.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866 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 this rule under
that order. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under
the regulatory policies and procedures
of the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) (44 FR 11040, February 26, 1979).

rule to be so minimal that a full

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. This safety zone is temporary
in nature and limited time existed for an NPRM. The Coast Guard was not
made aware that this event was to take place with sufficient time to
allow for publication of an NPRM followed by a final rule. 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 this rule would be impracticable and
immediate action is necessary to ensure the safety of personnel and
vessels during the operational period. During the enforcement of this
safety zone, comments will be accepted and reviewed and may result in a
modification to the rule.
Background and Purpose
A temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and persons from the hazards associated with a construction
project on a navigable waterway. The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan
has determined this project in close proximity to watercraft (Burnham
Harbor) pose significant risks to public safety and property. Blasting
operations in close proximity to the water could easily result in
serious injuries or fatalities. Establishing a safety zone to control
vessel movement around the location of the blasting site will help
ensure the safety of persons and property and minimize the associated
risks. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan
or his designated On-Scene Representative via VHF radio Channel 16.
Discussion of Rule
The safety zone will encompass all waters of Lake Michigan bounded
by the arc of a circle with a radius of 150-feet with its center at the
shoreline of Northerly Island in the approximate position
41[deg]51'12'' N, 087[deg]36'30'' W. These coordinates are based upon
North American Datum 1983 (NAD 1983). The size of this zone was
determined using the safety guidelines and safety plan provided by the
construction contractor and local knowledge concerning wind, waves, and
currents. All commercial and recreational vessels must contact
[[Page 51263]]
the Coast Guard Patrol Commander via VHF-FM Channel 16 to request
permission to transit through the safety zone.
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 proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory policies
and procedures of DHS is unnecessary.
This finding is based on the relatively small percentage of vessels
that would fall within the applicability of the regulation, the
relatively small size of the limited area around the zone, the minimal
amount of time that vessels will be restricted when the zone is being
enforced. In addition, vessels that will need to enter the zone may
request permission on a case-by-case basis from the Captain of the Port
or the designated on-scene representative.
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 a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
This rule may affect the following entities, some of which might be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
through the safety zone in and around the area.
This proposed rule would not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities because the restrictions affect
only a limited area for a short duration. Further, transit through the
zone may be permitted with proper authorization from the Captain of the
Port Lake Michigan or his designated representative. Additionally, the
opportunity to engage in recreational activities outside the limits of
the safety zone will not be disrupted.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
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 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 1-800-734-3247.
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).

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
[[Page 51264]]
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 made a preliminary determination 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, we believe this rule should be
categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of the
Instruction, from further environmental documentation. This safety zone
fits paragraph 34(g) because it establishes a safety zone.
A preliminary ``Environmental Analysis Check List'' is available in
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. Comments on this section
will be considered before we make the final decision on whether the
rule should be excluded from further environmental review.
