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. Logistical
details surrounding the event were not
finalized and presented to the Coast
Guard in time to draft and publish an
NPRM. As such, the event would occur
before the rulemaking process was
complete. Because of the dangers posed
by the pyrotechnics used in this
fireworks display, safety zones are
necessary to provide for the safety of
event participants, spectator craft, and
other vessels transiting the event area.
For the safety concerns noted, it is in
the public interest to have these
regulations in effect during the event.
For the same reasons listed in the
previous paragraph, 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. Any
delay in the effective date of this rule
would expose mariners to the dangers
posed by the pyrotechnics used in this
fireworks display.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
Pyro’s Spectacular Incorporated is
sponsoring a brief fireworks display on
April 28, 2007 in the waters of San
Francisco Bay near Angel Island. The
fireworks display is meant for
entertainment purposes at the
Kimmelman’s Wedding. This safety
zone is being issued to establish a
temporary regulated area in San
Francisco around the fireworks launch
barge during loading of the
pyrotechnics, during the transit of the
barge to the display location, and during
the fireworks display. This safety zone
around the launch barge is necessary to
protect spectators, vessels, and other
property from the hazards associated
with the pyrotechnics on the fireworks
barge. The Coast Guard has granted the

the fireworks display.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
temporary safety zone on specified
waters off of San Francisco Bay near
Angel Island. During the loading of the
fireworks barge, while the barge is being
towed to the display location, and until
the start of the fireworks display, the
safety zone will apply to the navigable
waters around and under the fireworks
barge within a radius of 100 feet. Fifteen
minutes prior to and during the 5minute fireworks display, the area to
which this safety zone applies to will
increase in size to encompass the
navigable waters around and under the
fireworks barge within a radius of 800
feet. Loading of the pyrotechnics onto
the fireworks barge is scheduled to
commence at 1 p.m. on April 28, 2007,
and will take place at Pier 50 in San
Francisco. Towing of the barge from Pier
50 to the display location is scheduled
to take place between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
on April 28, 2007. During the fireworks
display, scheduled to commence at
approximately 9:30 p.m., the fireworks
barge will be located approximately 800
feet off of Angel Island in position 37°
51′20.0″ N, 122° 26′43.0″ W.
The effect of the temporary safety
zone will be to restrict general
navigation in the vicinity of the
fireworks barge while the fireworks are
loaded at Pier 50, during the transit of
the fireworks barge, and until the
conclusion of the scheduled display.
Except for persons or vessels authorized
by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander,
no person or vessel may enter or remain
in the safety zone. This safety zone is
needed to keep spectators and vessels a
safe distance away from the fireworks
barge to ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and transiting
vessels.
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.
Although this rule restricts access to
the waters encompassed by the safety
zone, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because the local waterway
users will be notified via public
broadcast notice to mariners to ensure
the safety zone will result in minimum
impact. The entities most likely to be

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247).
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 is not
expected to have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of
entities, some of which may be small
entities. This rule may affect owners
and operators of pleasure craft engaged
in recreational activities and
sightseeing. This rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
several reasons: (i) Vessel traffic can
pass safely around the area, (ii) vessels
engaged in recreational activities and
sightseeing have ample space outside of
the effected portion of San Francisco
Bay to engage in these activities, (iii)
this rule will encompass only a small
portion of the waterway for a limited
period of time, and (iv) the maritime
public will be advised in advance of this
safety zone via public notice to
mariners.
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
affected are pleasure craft engaged in
recreational activities.
Collection of Information
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 the rule so that they
could better evaluate its effects on them
and participate in the rulemaking
process. If the rule will affect your small
business, organization, or government
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions, options for
compliance, or assistance in
understanding this rule, please contact
Ensign Sheral Richardson, U.S. Coast
Guard Sector San Francisco, at (415)
556–2950 ext. 140.
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:13 Apr 26, 2007
Jkt 211001
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
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,
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
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.
Paragraph (34)(g) is applicable because
this rule establishes a safety zone. A
final ‘‘Environmental Analysis Check
List’’ and a final ‘‘Categorical Exclusion
Determination’’ will be available in the

regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. Logistical details surrounding
the event were not finalized and presented to the Coast Guard in time
to draft and publish an NPRM. As such, the event would occur before the
rulemaking process was complete. Because of the dangers posed by the
pyrotechnics used in this fireworks display, safety zones are necessary
to provide for the safety of event participants, spectator craft, and
other vessels transiting the event area. For the safety concerns noted,
it is in the public interest to have these regulations in effect during

For the same reasons listed in the previous paragraph, 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. Any delay in the effective date of this rule would
expose mariners to the dangers posed by the pyrotechnics used in this
fireworks display.
Background and Purpose
Pyro's Spectacular Incorporated is sponsoring a brief fireworks
display on April 28, 2007 in the waters of San Francisco Bay near Angel
Island. The fireworks display is meant for entertainment purposes at
the Kimmelman's Wedding. This safety zone is being issued to establish
a temporary regulated area in San Francisco around the fireworks launch
barge during loading of the pyrotechnics, during the transit of the
barge to the display location, and during the fireworks display. This
safety zone around the launch barge is necessary to protect spectators,
vessels, and other property from the hazards associated with the
pyrotechnics on the fireworks barge. The Coast Guard has granted the
event sponsor a marine event permit for the fireworks display.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on
specified waters off of San Francisco Bay near Angel Island. During the
loading of the fireworks barge, while the barge is being towed to the
display location, and until the start of the fireworks display, the
safety zone will apply to the navigable waters around and under the
fireworks barge within a radius of 100 feet. Fifteen minutes prior to
and during the 5-minute fireworks display, the area to which this
safety zone applies to will increase in size to encompass the navigable
waters around and under the fireworks barge within a radius of 800
feet. Loading of the pyrotechnics onto the fireworks barge is scheduled
to commence at 1 p.m. on April 28, 2007, and will take place at Pier 50
in San Francisco. Towing of the barge from Pier 50 to the display
location is scheduled to take place between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on April
28, 2007. During the fireworks display, scheduled to commence at
approximately 9:30 p.m., the fireworks barge will be located
approximately 800 feet off of Angel Island in position 37[deg]
51'20.0'' N, 122[deg] 26'43.0'' W.
The effect of the temporary safety zone will be to restrict general
navigation in the vicinity of the fireworks barge while the fireworks
are loaded at Pier 50, during the transit of the fireworks barge, and
until the conclusion of the scheduled display. Except for persons or
vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or
vessel may enter or remain in the safety zone. This safety zone is
needed to keep spectators and vessels a safe distance away from the
fireworks barge to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and
transiting vessels.
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.
Although this rule restricts access to the waters encompassed by
the safety zone, the effect of this rule will not be significant
because the local waterway users will be notified via public broadcast
notice to mariners to ensure the safety zone will result in minimum
impact. The entities most likely to be
[[Page 20944]]
affected are pleasure craft engaged in recreational activities.
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 is
not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of entities, some of which may be small entities. This rule may
affect owners and operators of pleasure craft engaged in recreational
activities and sightseeing. This rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for several
reasons: (i) Vessel traffic can pass safely around the area, (ii)
vessels engaged in recreational activities and sightseeing have ample
space outside of the effected portion of San Francisco Bay to engage in
these activities, (iii) this rule will encompass only a small portion
of the waterway for a limited period of time, and (iv) the maritime
public will be advised in advance of this safety zone via public notice
to mariners.
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 the rule so that they could better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. If the
rule will affect your small business, organization, or government
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions, options
for compliance, or assistance in understanding this rule, please
contact Ensign Sheral Richardson, U.S. Coast Guard Sector San
Francisco, at (415) 556-2950 ext. 140.
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 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
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. Paragraph (34)(g) is applicable because this rule
establishes a safety zone. A final ``Environmental Analysis Check
List'' and a final ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' will be
available in the
[[Page 20945]]
docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

2. Add temporary Sec. 165-T11-181 to read as follows:
Sec. 165-T11-181 Safety Zone; Kimmelman's Wedding Party Fireworks
Display, San Francisco Bay, CA
(a) Location. This safety zone is established for the waters of San
Francisco Bay near Angel Island surrounding a barge used as the launch
platform for a fireworks display to be held during the Kimmelman's
Wedding Celebration. During the loading of the fireworks barge, during
the transit of the fireworks barge to the display location, and until
fifteen minutes prior to the start of the fireworks display, the safety
zone will encompass the navigable waters around and under the fireworks
barge within a radius of 100 feet. During the 15 minutes preceding the
fireworks display and during the 5-minute fireworks display itself, the
safety zone increases in size to encompass the navigable waters around
and under the fireworks launch barge within a radius of 800 feet.
Loading of the pyrotechnics onto the fireworks barge is scheduled to
commence at 1 p.m. on April 28, 2007, and will take place at Pier 50 in
San Francisco. Towing of the barge from Pier 50 to the display location
is scheduled to take place between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on April 28, 2007.
During the fireworks display, scheduled to start at approximately 9:30
p.m. on April 28, 2007, the barge will be located approximately 800
feet off of Angel Island in position 37[deg] 51[min]20.0[sec] N,
122[deg] 26[min]43.0[sec] W.
(b) Effective Dates. This section is effective from 1 p.m. to 9:35
p.m. on April 28, 2007. If the event concludes prior to the scheduled
termination time, the Coast Guard will cease enforcement of this safety
zone and will announce that fact via Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
(c) Regulations. In accordance with the general regulations in
Sec. 165.23 of this part, entry into, transit through, or anchoring
within this safety zone by all vessels and persons is prohibited,
unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port San
Francisco, or his designated representative.
(d) Enforcement. All persons and vessels shall comply with the
instructions of the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, or the designated
on-scene patrol personnel. Patrol personnel can be comprised of
commissioned, warrant, and petty officers of the Coast Guard onboard
Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, local, state, and federal law
enforcement vessels. Upon being hailed by U.S. Coast Guard patrol
personnel by siren, radio, flashing light, or other means, the operator
of a vessel shall proceed as directed. The U.S. Coast Guard may be
assisted in the patrol and enforcement of this safety zone by local law
enforcement as necessary.
Dated: April 10, 2007.
W.J. Uberti,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port, San Francisco.
