Download as PDF 29878 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 24, 2006 / Proposed Rules Guard and NMFS agreed this PARS would be narrower in scope than a routine PARS because the Coast Guard did not consider economic impacts. Economic impacts are being considered by NMFS as part of an economic analysis it is conducting as part of the implementation of its Strategy. The Coast Guard analyzed ship transit data and reviewed research papers published and/or provided by NMFS. These papers discussed right whale habitat and migration patterns, and also analyzed ship transit data, including Mandatory Ship Reporting System data. Comments received on its PARS announcement in the Federal Register as well as comments NMFS received on its ANPRM were also reviewed by the Coast Guard. charts will be published in the appropriate Local Notice to Mariners. 3. Changes to aids to navigation resulting from the above actions will be accomplished through the following established procedures—notification of proposed changes in the Local Notice to Mariners with an opportunity for comment and notification of the final changes in the Local Notice to Mariners. Study Recommendations Dated: May 15, 2006. Howard L. Hime, Acting Director of Standards, Assistant Commandant for Prevention. [FR Doc. E6–7859 Filed 5–23–06; 8:45 am] The PARS recommendations include the following: 1. Establish precautionary areas at the entrance to the ports of Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach, FL, and Brunswick, GA. 2. Establish six, two-way routes for the ports of Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach, FL, and Brunswick, GA. 3. Establish precautionary areas at the entrance to Cape Cod Canal and in the vicinity of New Inlet, MA. 4. Establish three, two-way routes in Cape Cod Bay to the ports of Boston and Provincetown, MA, and the entrance to Cape Cod Canal. 5. Establish a two-way recommended track from the Cape Cod Canal entrance to Provincetown, MA. 6. Realign and modify the location and size of the western portion of the TSS ‘‘In the Approach to Boston, Massachusetts.’’ sroberts on PROD1PC70 with PROPOSALS Next Steps A brief synopsis of how the PARS recommendations will proceed towards implementation follows: 1. Changes to the TSS will be implemented through submission of a proposal by the United States to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Upon IMO approval, adoption, and implementation, NOAA charts will be revised to reflect changes to the TSS and the Coast Guard will revise the list of TSSs at 33 CFR part 167. 2. The final locations of the precautionary areas, two-way routes, and the two-way recommended track will be determined and approved by the Coast Guard and NOAA. After approval they will be placed on the appropriate charts by NOAA.

A direct final rule identical to this proposal is published in the Rules and Regulations section of today’s Federal Register. For further supplementary information, the detailed rationale for the proposal and the regulatory revisions, see the direct final rule. We are taking direct final action because we view the amendments as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse comments. We have explained VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:03 May 23, 2006 Jkt 208001 our reasons for the amendments in the preamble to the direct final rule. If we receive no adverse comments, we will take no further action on the proposed rule. If we receive adverse comments, we will withdraw only the amendments, sections or paragraphs of the direct final rule on which we received adverse comments. We will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register indicating which will become effective and which are being withdrawn. If part or all of the direct final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of today’s Federal Register is withdrawn, all comments pertaining to those provisions will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on today’s proposed rule. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews For a complete discussion of all of the administrative requirements applicable to this action, see the direct final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of today’s Federal Register. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impact of today’s proposed rule amendments on small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small business ranging from 500 to 1,000 employees as defined by the Small Business Administration’s size standards; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government or a city, county, town, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. After considering the economic impacts of today’s proposed rule amendments on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. We conducted an assessment of the impact of the May 30, 1996 final rule on small businesses within the industries affected by that rule. This analysis PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 allowed us to conclude that there would not be a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities from the implementation of that rule. There is nothing contained in the proposed rule amendments that will impose an economic impact on small businesses in any way not considered in the analysis of the May 30, 1996 final rule; this means that the proposed rule amendments have no incremental economic impact on small businesses beyond what was already examined in the final rule. We continue to be interested in the potential impacts of the proposed rule amendments on small entities and welcome comments on issues related to such impacts.

    Direct Final Rule. A direct final rule identical to this proposal 
is published in the Rules and Regulations section of today's Federal 
Register. For further supplementary information, the detailed rationale 
for the proposal and the regulatory revisions, see the direct final 
rule.
    We are taking direct final action because we view the amendments as 
noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse comments. We have explained 
our reasons for the amendments in the preamble to the direct final 
rule. If we receive no adverse comments, we will take no further action 
on the proposed rule. If we receive adverse comments, we will withdraw 
only the amendments, sections or paragraphs of the direct final rule on 
which we received adverse comments. We will publish a timely withdrawal 
in the Federal Register indicating which will become effective and 
which are being withdrawn. If part or all of the direct final rule in 
the Rules and Regulations section of today's Federal Register is 
withdrawn, all comments pertaining to those provisions will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. We 
will not institute a second comment period on today's proposed rule. 
Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    For a complete discussion of all of the administrative requirements 
applicable to this action, see the direct final rule in the Rules and 
Regulations section of today's Federal Register.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative 
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, 
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impact of today's proposed rule 
amendments on small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small 
business ranging from 500 to 1,000 employees as defined by the Small 
Business Administration's size standards; (2) a small governmental 
jurisdiction that is a government or a city, county, town, school 
district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and 
(3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is 
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's proposed rule 
amendments on small entities, I certify that this action will not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    We conducted an assessment of the impact of the May 30, 1996 final 
rule on small businesses within the industries affected by that rule. 
This analysis allowed us to conclude that there would not be a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
from the implementation of that rule. There is nothing contained in the 
proposed rule amendments that will impose an economic impact on small 
businesses in any way not considered in the analysis of the May 30, 
1996 final rule; this means that the proposed rule amendments have no 
incremental economic impact on small businesses beyond what was already 
examined in the final rule. We continue to be interested in the 
potential impacts of the proposed rule amendments on small entities and 
welcome comments on issues related to such impacts.
