AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary special local
regulation for the St. Petersburg Grand
Prix Air Show, St. Petersburg, Florida
(Air Show). The Air Show’s aeronautic
displays will be held daily from 9 a.m.
until 4 p.m. on March 31, 2006 through
April 3, 2006. This regulation is needed
to restrict persons and vessels from
entering, anchoring, mooring, or
transiting the regulated area. This
regulation is necessary to ensure the
safety of Air Show participants,
spectators, and mariners in the area.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
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
necessary information to determine
whether the Air Show poses a threat to
persons and vessels was not provided
with sufficient time to publish an
NPRM. Publishing an NPRM and
delaying its effective date would be
contrary to the public interest since
immediate action is needed to minimize
potential danger to the public during the
Air Show. The Coast Guard will issue a
broadcast notice to mariners to advise
mariners of the restriction and on scene

assets will also provide notice to
mariners.
For the same reasons, 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 them of the
restriction.
Background and Purpose
The City of St. Petersburg and Honda
Motor Company are sponsoring the St.
Petersburg Grand Prix, an auto race in
the downtown area of St. Petersburg,
Florida on March 31, 2006 through
April 3, 2006. An Air Show is also
included in the race festivities and
consists of aerial demonstrations over
the near shore waters of St. Petersburg,
Florida. The demonstrations will total
approximately seventy-one (71) minutes
of flight time per day. Aerial
demonstrations will include military
aircraft, parachute jumpers, and smaller
aircraft flying in formation at
approximately fifty (50) feet above the
water.
Discussion of Rule
The Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) will create a sterile ‘‘no-fly’’ zone
(air box) above the restricted waters
encompassed by this regulation.
Following creation of the air box, the
E:\FR\FM\27MRR1.SGM
27MRR1
15034
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 58 / Monday, March 27, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
FAA requested all vessels be prohibited
from entering the waters underneath the
air box (regulated area) to ensure
spectator and Air Show participant
safety.
All vessels and persons are prohibited
from entering, anchoring, mooring, or
transiting the regulated area during the
aerial demonstrations. This regulation is
intended to provide for the safety of life
on the navigable waters of the United
States for Air Show participants,
spectators and mariners transiting in the
vicinity of the regulated area.
cchase on PROD1PC60 with RULES
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). The Coast Guard expects the
impact of this proposal to be so minimal
that a full Regulatory Evaluation under
the regulatory policies and procedures
of DHS is unnecessary because the
regulated area will only be in effect for
a limited period of time.
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 may be small
entities: the owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
the vicinity of the Albert Whitted
airport in St. Petersburg, Florida from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 31, 2006
through April 3, 2006. This special local
regulation will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities as this rule will
be in effect for only a short period of
time in an area where vessel traffic is
minimal. Additionally, enforcement of
this regulation will only occur from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. each day the regulation
in effect and the Captain of the Port of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:13 Mar 24, 2006
Jkt 208001
St. Petersburg or his designated
representative may allow certain vessels
to transit the regulated area if requested.
Assistance for Small Entities
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.
PO 00000

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,
E:\FR\FM\27MRR1.SGM
27MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 58 / Monday, March 27, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
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. 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.

Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing three special anchorage
areas in Long Beach, California where
vessels less than 20 meters
(approximately 65 feet) in length, and
barges, canal boats, scows, or other
nondescript craft, would not be required
to sound signals required by Rule 35 of
the Inland Navigation Rules. The effect
of these special anchorages is to reduce
the risk of vessel collisions within the
harbors of Los Angeles and Long Beach
by grouping unmanned barges, which
typically do not sound signals in
reduced visibility, within specified
areas and indicating these designated
areas on charts. Vessels moored in these
areas will not have to sound signals in
restricted visibility.
DATES: Effective Date: April 26, 2006.

Regulatory Information
On November 5, 2004, we published
a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Special Anchorage
Regulations; Long Beach, CA in the
Federal Register (69 FR 64546). We
received no letters commenting on the
proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.
Background and Purpose
The Coast Guard is establishing three
new special anchorage areas in Long
Beach outer harbor. A ‘‘special
anchorage’’ is an area on the water
where vessels less than 20 meters
(approximately 65 feet) in length, and
barges, canal boats, scows, or other
nondescript craft, are not required to
sound signals required by rule 35 of the
Inland Navigation Rules, codified at 33
U.S.C. 2035. The regulations will
reconfigure existing anchorages to
reflect current use of the anchorage
grounds. Currently, the primary users of
these anchorages are unmanned barges,
with the majority of them being longterm users. By establishing these areas
as special anchorages, these barges will
not be required to sound signals in
restricted visibility as prescribed in Rule
35 of the Inland Navigation Rules. The
anchorages are depicted on the local
charts, are well removed from fairways
and are located where general
navigation will not endanger or be
endangered by unmanned barges not
sounding signals in restricted visibility.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The Coast Guard received no
comments on this rule and has not
changed the regulations from the
published NPRM.
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 rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
DHS is unnecessary. This rule will
impose no cost on vessel operators, and
have minimal impact to vessel traffic.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered

ACTION: Temporary final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local
regulation for the St. Petersburg Grand Prix Air Show, St. Petersburg,
Florida (Air Show). The Air Show's aeronautic displays will be held
daily from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on March 31, 2006 through April 3, 2006.
This regulation is needed to restrict persons and vessels from
entering, anchoring, mooring, or transiting the regulated area. This
regulation is necessary to ensure the safety of Air Show participants,
spectators, and mariners in the area.
DATES: This rule is effective from March 31, 2006 through April 3,

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 necessary information to
determine whether the Air Show poses a threat to persons and vessels
was not provided with sufficient time to publish an NPRM. Publishing an
NPRM and delaying its effective date would be contrary to the public
interest since immediate action is needed to minimize potential danger
to the public during the Air Show. The Coast Guard will issue a
broadcast notice to mariners to advise mariners of the restriction and
on scene Coast Guard and local law enforcement assets will also provide
notice to mariners.
For the same reasons, 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 them of the restriction.
Background and Purpose
The City of St. Petersburg and Honda Motor Company are sponsoring
the St. Petersburg Grand Prix, an auto race in the downtown area of St.
Petersburg, Florida on March 31, 2006 through April 3, 2006. An Air
Show is also included in the race festivities and consists of aerial
demonstrations over the near shore waters of St. Petersburg, Florida.
The demonstrations will total approximately seventy-one (71) minutes of
flight time per day. Aerial demonstrations will include military
aircraft, parachute jumpers, and smaller aircraft flying in formation
at approximately fifty (50) feet above the water.
Discussion of Rule
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will create a sterile
``no-fly'' zone (air box) above the restricted waters encompassed by
this regulation. Following creation of the air box, the
[[Page 15034]]
FAA requested all vessels be prohibited from entering the waters
underneath the air box (regulated area) to ensure spectator and Air
Show participant safety.
All vessels and persons are prohibited from entering, anchoring,
mooring, or transiting the regulated area during the aerial
demonstrations. This regulation is intended to provide for the safety
of life on the navigable waters of the United States for Air Show
participants, spectators and mariners transiting in the vicinity of the
regulated area.
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). The Coast Guard expects the impact of this proposal to
be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory
policies and procedures of DHS is unnecessary because the regulated
area will only be in effect for a limited period of time.
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
may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in the vicinity of the Albert Whitted airport in St.
Petersburg, Florida from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 31, 2006 through
April 3, 2006. This special local regulation will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
as this rule will be in effect for only a short period of time in an
area where vessel traffic is minimal. Additionally, enforcement of this
regulation will only occur from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day the
regulation in effect and the Captain of the Port of St. Petersburg or
his designated representative may allow certain vessels to transit the
regulated area if requested.
Assistance for Small Entities
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,
[[Page 15035]]
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. 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.
