SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone on
the navigable waters of the Town Creek
Channel for the demolition and recovery
operations of the Grace Memorial and
Silas Pearman Bridges. This rule
prohibits entry, anchoring, mooring, or
transiting within the temporary safety
zone without the permission of the
Captain of the Port Charleston or his
designated representative. This
regulation is necessary to protect life
and property on the navigable waters of
the Town Creek channel from the
danger associated with the demolition/
recovery operations of the Grace
Memorial and Silas Pearman Bridges.
DATES: The rule is effective from 7:30
a.m. on October 20, 2005 through 8:01
a.m. on January 30, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this
preamble as being available in the
docket are part of docket [COTP
Charleston 05–133] and are available for
inspection or copying at Coast Guard
Sector Charleston (WWM), 196 Tradd

Management, at (843) 723–7647.
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. Publishing
an NPRM, which would incorporate a
comment period before a final rule
could be issued and delay the effective
date, would be contrary to the public
interest because immediate action is
needed to protect the public and waters
of the United States.
For the same reason, 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. A
Coast Guard patrol vessel will be on
scene for the duration of the effective
period to notify mariners of the
restriction.
Background and Purpose
This demolition recovery operations
will require several blasts that will be
needed to remove the steel trusses and
supporting columns for the Grace
Memorial and Silas Pearman Bridges.
The purpose of this temporary zone is
to protect mariners from the demolition/
recovery operations. The safety zones
will remain in effect following any
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

detonation event to protect mariners
from the navigation hazard presented by
debris removal operations. After any
demolition event, and during the debris
removal, mariners may request
permission to transit through the safety
zone by contacting the U.S. Coast Guard
via VHF–FM channel 16 or by phone at
(843) 724–7616.
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). Because marine traffic should be
able to safely transit around the safety
zone and may be allowed to enter the
zone with the permission of the COTP
or his 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.
The owners and operators of vessels
who wish to navigate through Town
Creek Channel may be impacted by this
rule. This impact will not be significant
because the rule will only be in effect
for a short duration, the impact on
routine navigation is expected to be
minimal, commercial marine traffic will
still be able to safely transit around the
temporary safety zone by using the
Cooper River Channel, and vessels may
be allowed to enter the zone after
obtaining the permission of the COTP or
his designated representative.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we offer 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 entities may contact the

person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT for assistance in
understanding and participating in this
rulemaking.
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
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of
this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not affect a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:18 Jan 18, 2006
Jkt 205001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00018

rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (34) (g), of the
Instruction, from further environmental
documentation. A final ‘‘Environmental

will be available in the docket where

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final
action to approve Texas State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions.
The revisions pertain to regulations to
control Volatile Organic Compound
(VOC) emissions from VOC transfer
operations and solvent using processes.
The revisions allow use of gasoline
vapor recovery systems approved by
Texas, and add new requirements to
control VOC emissions from motor
vehicle fuel dispensing facilities and
surface coating facilities in Ellis,
Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, and
Rockwall Counties. These counties are
part of the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) 8hour ozone standard nonattainment
area. The revisions also amend
regulations on use of cleaning solvents.
We are approving the revisions pursuant
to sections 110, 116 and part D of the
Federal Clean Air Act (CAA). The
control of VOC emissions will help to
attain and maintain the 8-hour national
ambient air quality standard (NAAQS)
for ozone in Texas. This approval will
make the revised regulations Federally
enforceable.
DATES: This rule is effective on March
20, 2006 without further notice, unless
EPA receives relevant adverse comment

ACTION: Temporary final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
navigable waters of the Town Creek Channel for the demolition and
recovery operations of the Grace Memorial and Silas Pearman Bridges.
This rule prohibits entry, anchoring, mooring, or transiting within the
temporary safety zone without the permission of the Captain of the Port
Charleston or his designated representative. This regulation is
necessary to protect life and property on the navigable waters of the
Town Creek channel from the danger associated with the demolition/

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. Publishing an NPRM, which
would incorporate a comment period before a final rule could be issued
and delay the effective date, would be contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed to protect the public and waters of
the United States.
For the same reason, 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. A Coast Guard patrol
vessel will be on scene for the duration of the effective period to
notify mariners of the restriction.
Background and Purpose
This demolition recovery operations will require several blasts
that will be needed to remove the steel trusses and supporting columns
for the Grace Memorial and Silas Pearman Bridges. The purpose of this
temporary zone is to protect mariners from the demolition/recovery
operations. The safety zones will remain in effect following any
detonation event to protect mariners from the navigation hazard
presented by debris removal operations. After any demolition event, and
during the debris removal, mariners may request permission to transit
through the safety zone by contacting the U.S. Coast Guard via VHF-FM
channel 16 or by phone at (843) 724-7616.
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). Because marine traffic should be able to safely transit
around the safety zone and may be allowed to enter the zone with the
permission of the COTP or his 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. The owners and operators of vessels who wish to navigate
through Town Creek Channel may be impacted by this rule. This impact
will not be significant because the rule will only be in effect for a
short duration, the impact on routine navigation is expected to be
minimal, commercial marine traffic will still be able to safely transit
around the temporary safety zone by using the Cooper River Channel, and
vessels may be allowed to enter the zone after obtaining the permission
of the COTP or his designated representative.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer 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
entities may contact the
[[Page 3008]]
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT for assistance in
understanding and participating in this rulemaking.
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 expenditure, we do
discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not affect 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. A final ``Environmental Analysis Check List'' and a
final ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' will be available in the
docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
