submitted in support of a petition. NRC
was not able to do this with the
information submitted.
The petitioner also stated that there
would be label warnings on the device
that instruct any person who handles,
uses or comes in contact with the
product to dispose of it only by
returning it to the distributor for safe
disposal. Products that are distributed
under an exemption must meet health
and safety requirements without any
regulatory requirements on the end user.
Therefore, the petition must address the
environmental aspects of disposal of the
catalytic device presuming that none of
the devices would be returned to the
distributor for disposal.
In summary, the petitioner did not
submit information of sufficient scope
and depth for NRC to determine the
adequacy of this product to be
distributed to persons exempt from
licensing and regulatory requirements.
NRC could not ensure that the public
health and safety, and the environment,
would be protected based on the
information submitted in support of the
petition.
For the reasons cited in this
document, the NRC denies this petition.

Background and Purpose
The Southern California Speedboat
Club is sponsoring the Blue Water
Casino and Resort 60th Thanksgiving
Regatta, which is held on the Lake
Moovalya region on the Colorado River
in Parker, AZ. This temporary safety
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
zone is necessary to provide for the
safety of the participants, crew,
spectators, sponsor vessels, and other
users of the waterway.
This event involves powerboats racing
along a circular track in the Lake
Moovalya region of the Colorado River.
The size of the boats varies from 11 to
21 feet. Approximately sixty to eighty
boats will participate in this event. The
sponsor has provided two (2) water
rescue and three (3) patrol vessels to
patrol this event.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed temporary safety zone
would be comprised of the following
area: that portion of the navigable
waterway of Lake Moovalya from
Headgate Dam to 0.5 nautical miles
north of Blue Water Marina, Parker,
Arizona.
The Coast Guard proposes to establish
one (1) safety zone that will be enforced
from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. from November 24,
2006 through November 26, 2006. This
safety zone is necessary to provide for
the safety of the crews, spectators, and
participants of the Blue Water Casino
and Resort Thanksgiving Regatta and to
protect other vessels and users of the
waterway. Persons and vessels will be
prohibited from entering into, transiting
through, or anchoring within this safety
zone unless authorized by the Captain
of the Port, or his designated on-scene
representative.
U.S. Coast Guard personnel will
enforce this safety zone. The Coast
Guard may be assisted by other Federal,
State, or local agencies, including the
Coast Guard Auxiliary. Section 165.23
of Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations,
prohibits any unauthorized person or
vessel from entering or remaining in a
safety zone. Vessels or persons violating
this section will be subject to both
criminal and civil penalties.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed 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.
We expect the economic impact of
this proposed rule to be so minimal that
a full Regulatory Evaluation is
unnecessary.
This determination is based on the
size and location of the safety zone.
Commercial vessels will not be
hindered by the safety zone.
Recreational vessels will not be allowed

to transit through the designated safety
zone during the specified times.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this proposed 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.
The safety zone will affect the following
entities some of which may be small
entities: the owners and operators of
pleasure craft engaged in recreational
activities and sightseeing. This safety
zone will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities because this
safety zone is limited in scope and
duration (it would be in effect for only
twelve (12) hours per day for a period
of three (3) days, from November 24,
2006 though November 26, 2006).
Furthermore, the Coast Guard will
publish local notice to mariners (LNM)
before the safety zone is enforced.
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 want to assist small entities in
understanding this proposed rule so that
they can better evaluate its effects on
them and participate in the rulemaking.
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 Lieutenant
´
Junior Grade Jose Caballero, Waterways
Management U.S. Coast Guard Sector
San Diego at (619) 278–7277. The Coast
Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about
this rule or any policy or action of the
Coast Guard.

Collection of Information
This proposed 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 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically
significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that might disproportionately
affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have
a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
51789
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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination
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, we believe that
this rule should be categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation.
Paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction
would apply because this rule would
establish a safety zone.

request from the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) for
delegation of authority to implement
and enforce the following three Federal
plans: Hospital/Medical/Infectious
Waste Incinerators (HMIWI); Municipal
Solid Waste Landfills (MSW Landfills);
and Small Municipal Waste Combustion
Units (Small MWC). On August 15,
2000, November 8, 1999, and January
31, 2003 respectively, EPA promulgated
the Federal plans for HMIWI, MSW
Landfills and Small MWCs to fulfill the
requirements of sections 111(d)/129 of
the Clean Air Act. The Federal plans
impose emission limits and control
requirements for existing affected
facilities located in areas not covered by
an approved and currently effective
State plan.
On May 15, 2006, NJDEP signed
Memorandum of Agreements (MOAs)
which act as the mechanism for the
transfer of EPA authority to NJDEP. The
intended effect is to approve MOAs that
define the policies, responsibilities, and

for HMIWI, MSW Landfills and Small
MWCs will be administered on behalf of
EPA by NJDEP.

The Southern California Speedboat Club is sponsoring the Blue Water
Casino and Resort 60th Thanksgiving Regatta, which is held on the Lake
Moovalya region on the Colorado River in Parker, AZ. This temporary
safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the participants,
crew, spectators, sponsor vessels, and other users of the waterway.
This event involves powerboats racing along a circular track in the

varies from 11 to 21 feet. Approximately sixty to eighty boats will
participate in this event. The sponsor has provided two (2) water

Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed temporary safety zone would be comprised of the
following area: that portion of the navigable waterway of Lake Moovalya
from Headgate Dam to 0.5 nautical miles north of Blue Water Marina,
Parker, Arizona.
The Coast Guard proposes to establish one (1) safety zone that will
be enforced from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. from November 24, 2006 through
November 26, 2006. This safety zone is necessary to provide for the
safety of the crews, spectators, and participants of the Blue Water
Casino and Resort Thanksgiving Regatta and to protect other vessels and
users of the waterway. Persons and vessels will be prohibited from
entering into, transiting through, or anchoring within this safety zone
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, or his designated on-
scene representative.
U.S. Coast Guard personnel will enforce this safety zone. The Coast
Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local agencies,
including the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Section 165.23 of Title 33, Code
of Federal Regulations, prohibits any unauthorized person or vessel
from entering or remaining in a safety zone. Vessels or persons
violating this section will be subject to both criminal and civil
penalties.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed 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.
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
This determination is based on the size and location of the safety
zone. Commercial vessels will not be hindered by the safety zone.
Recreational vessels will not be allowed
[[Page 51789]]
to transit through the designated safety zone during the specified
times.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed 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. The safety zone will affect the following entities some of
which may be small entities: the owners and operators of pleasure craft
engaged in recreational activities and sightseeing. This safety zone
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities because this safety zone is limited in scope and
duration (it would be in effect for only twelve (12) hours per day for
a period of three (3) days, from November 24, 2006 though November 26,
2006). Furthermore, the Coast Guard will publish local notice to
mariners (LNM) before the safety zone is enforced.
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 want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 Lieutenant Junior Grade Jose
Caballero, Waterways Management U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Diego at
(619) 278-7277. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

This proposed 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 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination 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, we believe that this rule should
be categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of the
Instruction, from further environmental documentation. Paragraph
(34)(g) of the Instruction would apply because this rule would
establish a safety zone.
[[Page 51790]]
A preliminary ``Environmental Analysis Check List'' is available in
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. Comments on this section
will be considered before we make the final decision on whether the
rule should be categorically excluded from further environmental
review.

operating Coast Guard vessels, and Federal, State, and local officers
designated by or assisting the Captain of the Port (COTP), San Diego,
CA, in the enforcement of regulated navigation areas and safety and
security zones.
(d) Regulations. Entry into, transit through or anchoring within
this safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port San Diego or his designated on-scene representative. Mariners
requesting permission to transit through the safety zone may request
authorization to do so from the Patrol Commander (PATCOM). The Patrol
Commander may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16.
