Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone
encompassing the navigable waters of
the Syracuse Inner Harbor on the
southern end of Onondaga Lake during
the City Fireworks Celebration on June
30, 2006. This safety zone is necessary
to ensure the safety of spectators and
vessels from the hazards associated with
fireworks displays. This safety zone is
intended to restrict vessel traffic from a
portion of Onondaga Lake, Syracuse,
New York.
DATES: This rule will be effective from
9:30 p.m. (local) until 10 p.m. (local) on
June 30, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this
preamble as being available in the
docket, are part of docket [CGD09–06–
063] and are available for inspection or
copying at: U.S. Coast Guard Sector

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 permit
application was not received in time to
publish an NPRM followed by a final
rule before the effective date.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good cause
exists for making this rule effective less
than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register. Delaying this rule
would be contrary to the public interest
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
of ensuring the safety of spectators and
vessels during this event, and
immediate action is necessary to
prevent possible loss of life or property.
The Coast Guard has not received any
complaints or negative comments
previously with regard to this event.
Background and Purpose
Temporary safety zones are necessary
to ensure the safety of vessels and
spectators from the hazards associated
with fireworks displays. Based on recent
accidents that have occurred in other
Captain of the Port zones, and the
explosive hazard of fireworks, the
Captain of the Port Buffalo has
determined fireworks launches in close
proximity to watercraft pose significant
risks to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of
recreational vessels, congested
waterways, darkness punctuated by
bright flashes of light, alcohol use, and
debris falling into the water could easily
result in serious injuries or fatalities.
Establishing a safety zone to control
vessel movement around the locations
of the launch platforms will help ensure
the safety of persons and property at
these events and help minimize the
associated risk.
The safety zone consists of all
navigable waters of Onondaga Lake
within a 300 foot radius of the fireworks
launch site in approximate position
43°03′37″ N, 076°09′59″ W. All
Geographic coordinates are North
American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). The
size of this zone was determined using
the National Fire Prevention
Association guidelines and local
knowledge concerning wind, waves,
and currents.
All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port or the designated onscene representative. The Captain of the
Port of Buffalo, or his designated onscene representative, has the authority
to terminate the event. Entry into,
transiting, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Buffalo or his designated on-scene
representative. The Captain of the Port
or his designated on-scene
representative may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Order. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
This determination is based on the
minimal time that vessels will be
restricted from the zone and the zone is
an area where the Coast Guard expects
insignificant adverse impact to mariners
from the zones’ activation.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this rule would have a
significant 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 would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners or operators of
commercial vessels intending to transit
a portion of the Onondaga Lake during
the activated safety zone.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: This safety zone
is only in effect for a very limited
duration from 9:30 p.m. (local) until 10
p.m. (local) on the day of the event.
Vessel traffic can safely pass outside the
safety zone during the event.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
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 this rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects and participate
in the rulemaking process. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact U.S. Coast
Guard Sector Buffalo (see ADDRESSES).
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
E:\FR\FM\27JNR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 27, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
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 would call 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 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 would not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule would 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.
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with RULES
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 concern an environmental risk
to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
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. It has not been designated by the
Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs 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
and Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 5100.1, which
guide 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
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. This
event establishes a safety zone therefore
paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction
applies.

Check List’’ and a final ‘‘Categorical

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
201.10 of the Copyright Office’s

governing the form, content, and
manner of service of notices of
termination of transfers and licenses
under sections 203 and 304 of the
copyright law, 17 U.S.C. 203, 304.
Regarding service of a notice of
termination, § 201.10(d)(1) of the
regulations provides that service on
each grantee shall be made ‘‘by personal
service, or by first-class mail sent to an
address which, after a reasonable
investigation, is found to be the last
known address of the grantee or
successor in title.’’ In order to record a
notice of termination, § 201.10(f)(ii)

requires ‘‘[t]he copy submitted for
recordation shall be accompanied by a
statement setting forth the date on
which the notice was served and the
manner of service, unless such
information is contained in the notice.’’
With respect to notices served by
mail, date of service as referred to in
§ 201.10(f)(ii) means the day on which
the notice of termination is mailed. The
Documents Section of the Copyright
Office has noted that a number of filings
of notices of termination do not specify
a single day date, but qualify the
statement by saying ‘‘on or about,’’ or
some other similar qualifier. It is our
understanding that the reason some
applicants avoid designating a single
day date is the belief that the date of
service is intended to mean the date on
which the grantee receives the notice. In
order to clarify this matter, we are
adding a sentence at the end of
§ 201.10(f)(1)(ii) providing: ‘‘[i]n
instances where service is made by firstclass mail, the date of service shall be
the day the notice of termination was
deposited with the United States Postal
Service.’’
Because this amendment is
declarative of the Office’s existing
policy and practices and is being issued
simply for purposes of clarification, the
Office finds that there is good cause to
make it effective immediately.

Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his

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

This rule would affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners or operators of commercial vessels
intending to transit a portion of the Onondaga Lake during the
activated safety zone.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
safety zone is only in effect for a very limited duration from 9:30
p.m. (local) until 10 p.m. (local) on the day of the event. Vessel
traffic can safely pass outside the safety zone during the event.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects and participate in the rulemaking process. If the rule
would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact U.S. Coast Guard Sector Buffalo
(see ADDRESSES).
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine
[[Page 36485]]
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 would call 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 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.

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 would not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule would 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 concern 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. It has not been designated by the Administrator of the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 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
and Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 5100.1, which
guide 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. This event establishes a safety zone therefore paragraph
(34)(g) of the Instruction applies.
A final ``Environmental Analysis Check List'' and a final
``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' are available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
