SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
AGENCY:
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
precise location of this detonation
operation site, and the need for this
safety zone, was not determined until
less than 30 days before the range
operations were scheduled to begin.
Publishing an NPRM and delaying the
effective date would be contrary to the
public interest because the Air Force
operations would begin before the
rulemaking process was complete,
thereby jeopardizing the safety of people
and property unknowingly transiting or
remaining in the area.
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 COTP finds this good
cause to be the immediate need for a
safety zone to allay the aforementioned
safety concerns surrounding the
detonation operations.

Temporary final rule.
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone in
the waters of the North Pacific Ocean
bounded by a circle with a 2077-yard
radius, centered at 13°35′35″ North
Latitude and 144°56′29″ East Longitude
(NAD 1983) in the vicinity of Pati Point,
Guam. This safety zone is necessary to
protect mariners who would otherwise
transit or be within this area from
possible safety hazards associated with
U.S. Air Force detonation range
VerDate Aug<31>2005

The Coast Guard expects that, every
Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from May
4, 2006 to July 30, 2006, the U.S. Air
Force will conduct range operations
within the Guam Captain of the Port
Zone. The Coast Guard has determined
that a temporary safety zone in the
waters of Tarague Basin bounded by a
circle with a 2077-yard radius in the
vicinity of Pati Point, Guam is necessary
to protect people and property from
hazards associated with the operation.

Discussion of Rule
This temporary safety zone will be
enforced every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. from May 4, 2006 to July 30, 2006.
It is located within the Guam Captain of
the Port Zone (See 33 CFR 3.70–15) and
covers all waters bounded by a circle
with a 2077-yard radius, centered at
13°35′35″ North Latitude and 144°56′29″
East Longitude (NAD 1983), from the
surface of the water to the ocean floor.
The general regulations governing
safety zones contained in 33 CFR 165.23
apply. Entry into, transit through, or
anchoring within this zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port or a designated representative
thereof. Any Coast Guard
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer,
and any other Captain of the Port
representative permitted by law, may
enforce the zone. The Captain of the
Port may waive any of the requirements
of this rule for any person, vessel, or
class of vessel upon finding that
application of the safety zone is
unnecessary or impractical for the
purpose of maritime safety.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under § 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs
and benefits under § 6(a)(3) of that
Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that
Order.
The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation is unnecessary. This
expectation is based on the short
durations of the zone and the limited
geographic area affected by it.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this rule will 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. We
expect that there will be little or no
impact to small entities due to the
narrowly tailored scope of this safety
zone.

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 this 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 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.
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES
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 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 is 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.

have concluded that there are no factors
in this case that limit the use of a

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in the

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 precise location of this
detonation operation site, and the need for this safety zone, was not
determined until less than 30 days before the range operations were
scheduled to begin. Publishing an NPRM and delaying the effective date
would be contrary to the public interest because the Air Force
operations would begin before the rulemaking process was complete,
thereby jeopardizing the safety of people and property unknowingly
transiting or remaining in the area.
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 COTP finds this good cause to
be the immediate need for a safety zone to allay the aforementioned
safety concerns surrounding the detonation operations.
Background and Purpose
The Coast Guard expects that, every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
from May 4, 2006 to July 30, 2006, the U.S. Air Force will conduct
range operations within the Guam Captain of the Port Zone. The Coast
Guard has determined that a temporary safety zone in the waters of
Tarague Basin bounded by a circle with a 2077-yard radius in the
vicinity of Pati Point, Guam is necessary to protect people and
property from hazards associated with the operation.
Discussion of Rule
This temporary safety zone will be enforced every Sunday from 8
a.m. to 4 p.m. from May 4, 2006 to July 30, 2006. It is located within
the Guam Captain of the Port Zone (See 33 CFR 3.70-15) and covers all
waters bounded by a circle with a 2077-yard radius, centered at
13[deg]35'35'' North Latitude and 144[deg]56'29'' East Longitude (NAD
1983), from the surface of the water to the ocean floor.
The general regulations governing safety zones contained in 33 CFR
165.23 apply. Entry into, transit through, or anchoring within this
zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or a
designated representative thereof. Any Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer, and any other Captain of the Port
representative permitted by law, may enforce the zone. The Captain of
the Port may waive any of the requirements of this rule for any person,
vessel, or class of vessel upon finding that application of the safety
zone is unnecessary or impractical for the purpose of maritime safety.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Sec.
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does
not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under Sec.
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This
expectation is based on the short durations of the zone and the limited
geographic area affected by it.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule will 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. We expect that there will be little or no impact to small
entities due to the narrowly tailored scope of this safety zone.
[[Page 28776]]
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 this 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
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 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 is 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 limit the
use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the Instruction.
Therefore, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction, this
rule is categorically excluded 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.
