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 a NPRM.
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Publishing a NPRM, which would
incorporate a comment period before a
final rule could be issued and delay the
rule’s effective date, is contrary to
public interest because immediate
action is necessary to protect the public
and the 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. The
Coast Guard will issue a broadcast
notice to mariners to advise mariners of
the restriction.
Background and Purpose
On February 6, 2006, a Navy F–18
aircraft went down in the vicinity of
position 21°31′ N, 081°33.76′ W. The
purpose of this security zone is to
ensure the security of the sensitive
information on the aircraft.
Discussion of Rule
This rule creates a temporary security
zone 500 yards around position 21°31′
N, 081°33.76′ W. All vessels and
persons are prohibited from anchoring,
mooring, entering or remaining within
the Security Zone unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port, Key West,
Florida or his designated
representative(s). This zone is in effect
from February 7, 2006 through March
10, 2006.
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
E:\FR\FM\28FER1.SGM
28FER1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
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.
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
because the regulations will only be in
effect for a short period of time and the
impact on routine navigation is
expected to be minimal. Vessels wishing
to transit the area can simple go around
the security zone.
Assistance for Small Entities
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES
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. If the rule will affect your small
business, organization, or government
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT for assistance in understanding
this rule.
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 evalutes 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).
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.
Collection of Information
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.
This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).
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’’
are not required for this rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is publishing this action
to provide the public with notice of the
update to the Georgia State
Implementation Plan (SIP) compilation.
In particular, materials submitted by
Georgia that are incorporated by
reference (IBR) into the Georgia SIP are
being updated to reflect EPA-approved
revisions to Georgia’s SIP that have
occurred since the last update.
DATES: This action is effective February
28, 2006.
ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are
incorporated by reference into 40 CFR
part 52 are available for inspection at
the following locations: Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth
Street, SW., Atlanta, GA 30303; the
EPA, Air and Radiation Docket and
Information Center, Air Docket (Mail

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Stacy Difrank at the above Region 4
address or at (404) 562–9042. E-mail:
difrank.stacy@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each state
has a SIP containing the control
measures and strategies used to attain
and maintain the national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS). The SIP is
extensive, containing such elements as
air pollution control regulations,
emission inventories, monitoring
networks, attainment demonstrations,
and enforcement mechanisms.
Each state must formally adopt the
control measures and strategies in the
SIP after the public has had an
opportunity to comment on them and
then submit the SIP to EPA. Once these
control measures and strategies are
approved by EPA, after notice and
comment, they are incorporated into the
federally approved SIP and are

identified in part 52 ‘‘Approval and
Promulgation of Implementation Plans,’’
Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (40 CFR part 52). The full
text of the state regulation approved by
EPA is not reproduced in its entirety in
40 CFR part 52, but is ‘‘incorporated by
reference.’’ This means that EPA has
approved a given state regulation with
a specific effective date. The public is
referred to the location of the full text
version should they want to know
which measures are contained in a
given SIP. The information provided
allows EPA and the public to monitor
the extent to which a state implements
a SIP to attain and maintain the NAAQS
and to take enforcement action if
necessary.
The SIP is a living document which
the state can revise as necessary to
address the unique air pollution
problems in the state. Therefore, EPA
from time to time must take action on
SIP revisions containing new and/or
revised regulations as being part of the
SIP. On May 22, 1997, (62 FR 27968),
EPA revised the procedures for
incorporating by reference, into the
Code of Federal Regulations, materials
submitted by states in their EPAapproved SIP revisions. These changes
revised the format for the identification
of the SIP in 40 CFR part 52, streamlined the mechanisms for announcing
EPA approval of revisions to a SIP, and
stream-lined the mechanisms for EPA’s
updating of the IBR information
contained for each SIP in 40 CFR part
52. The revised procedures also called
for EPA to maintain ‘‘SIP Compilations’’
that contain the federally-approved
regulations and source specific permits
submitted by each state agency. These
SIP Compilations are contained in 3ring binders and are updated primarily
on an annual basis. Under the revised
procedures, EPA is to periodically
publish an informational document in
the rules section of the Federal Register
when updates are made to a SIP
Compilation for a particular state. EPA’s
1997 revised procedures were formally
applied to Georgia on May 21, 1999 (64
FR 27699).
This action represents EPA’s
publication of the Georgia SIP
Compilation update, appearing in 40
CFR part 52.
EPA has determined that today’s
action falls under the ‘‘good cause’’
exemption in the section 553(b)(3)(B) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
which, upon finding ‘‘good cause,’’
authorizes agencies to dispense with
public participation and section
553(d)(3) which allows an agency to
make an action effective immediately
(thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed

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 a NPRM. Publishing a NPRM, which would
incorporate a comment period before a final rule could be issued and
delay the rule's effective date, is contrary to public interest because
immediate action is necessary to protect the public and the 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. The Coast
Guard will issue a broadcast notice to mariners to advise mariners of
the restriction.
Background and Purpose
On February 6, 2006, a Navy F-18 aircraft went down in the vicinity
of position 21[deg]31' N, 081[deg]33.76' W. The purpose of this
security zone is to ensure the security of the sensitive information on
the aircraft.
Discussion of Rule
This rule creates a temporary security zone 500 yards around
position 21[deg]31' N, 081[deg]33.76' W. All vessels and persons are
prohibited from anchoring, mooring, entering or remaining within the
Security Zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Key West,
Florida or his designated representative(s). This zone is in effect
from February 7, 2006 through March 10, 2006.
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
[[Page 9929]]
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.
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 because the regulations will only be in effect for a short
period of time and the impact on routine navigation is expected to be
minimal. Vessels wishing to transit the area can simple go around the
security 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. If the
rule will affect your small business, organization, or government
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT for assistance in understanding this rule.
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 evalutes 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. A final ``Environmental Analysis Check
List'' and a final ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' are not
required for this rule.
