SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
January 8, 2007 edition of the Federal
Register, the CIA published a proposed
rule which reflected a zero-based review
of its public FOIA regulations on
processing fees. The proposed rule was
an expansive attempt to streamline our
administrative approach in order to
improve our processing of FOIA
requests. The proposed system
contained a number of innovative
features to make this new approach
workable. The CIA received comments
that supported some aspect of the
proposed rule, while also receiving
comments which were very critical of
other aspects of this approach. After a
review and consideration of all of the
comments, it was clear that there was no
way to reconcile the positive and
negative comments into a refinement of
our approach that was workable. We
concluded that if any features of the
proposed system were dropped, the
advantages would not outweigh the
disadvantages of adopting this system.
Since there was no support to proceed
with the proposed rule as originally
drafted, rather than implementing the
sweeping changes set forth in the
proposed rule, we have a more modest
change by simply adopting the
definition of ‘‘news media’’ contained in
the March 27, 1987, Office of
Management and Budget FOIA
Guidelines. Although, the CIA remains
confident in the adequacy and
sufficiency of its previous interpretation
of ‘‘news media’’ fee status, it has
concluded that it is preferable to avoid
sterile and unproductive technical
litigation and the associated diversion of
resources from more productive
pursuits that that entails.

(3) Representative of the News Media
refers to any person actively gathering
news for an entity that is organized and
operated to publish or broadcast news to
the public. The term ‘‘news’’ means
information that is about current events
or that would be of current interest to
the public. Examples of news media
entities include television or radio
stations broadcasting to the public at
large, and publishers of periodicals (but
only in those instances when they can
qualify as disseminators of ‘‘news’’) who
make their products available for
purchase or subscription by the general
public. These examples are not intended
to be all-inclusive. Moreover, as
traditional methods of news delivery
evolve (e.g., electronic dissemination of
newspapers through
telecommunications services), such
alternative media would be included in
this category. In the case of ‘‘freelance’’
journalists, they may be regarded as
working for a news organization if they
can demonstrate a solid basis for
expecting publication through that
organization, even though not actually
employed by it. A publication contract
would be the clearest proof, but
agencies may also look to the past
publication record of a requestor in
making this determination:

intended to restrict vessels from a

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 of
ensuring the safety of spectators and
vessels during this event and immediate
action is necessary to prevent possible
loss of life or property.
Background and Purpose
This temporary safety zone is
necessary to ensure the safety of vessels
and spectators from hazards associated
with a fireworks display. Based on
accidents that have occurred in other
Captain of the Port Zones, and the
explosive hazards of fireworks, the
Captain of the Port Buffalo has
determined that fireworks launches
proximate to watercraft pose a
significant risk to public safety and
property. The likely combination of
large numbers of recreation 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 location of the launch
platform will help ensure the safety of
persons and property at these events
and help minimize the associated risks.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 137 / Wednesday, July 18, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
Discussion of Rule
A temporary safety zone is necessary
to ensure the safety of spectators and
vessels during the setup, loading and
launching of a fireworks display in
conjunction with the Oswego Harborfest
2007 fireworks display. The fireworks
display will occur between 9 p.m. and
10 p.m. on July 28, 2007.
The safety zone for the fireworks will
encompass all waters of Lake Ontario,
Oswego, NY within a thousand foot
radius of position 43°28′10″ N, 076°
31′04″W. [DATUM: NAD 83].
All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port Buffalo or the onscene representative. Entry into,
transiting, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Buffalo or his on-scene representative.
The Captain of the Port Buffalo or his
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
Order. 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 safety zone’s activation.
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC71 with RULES
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 will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This rule will affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: The owners and operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
a portion of Lake Ontario, Oswego, NY
between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. on July 28,
2007.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
VerDate Aug<31>2005
10:08 Jul 18, 2007
Jkt 211001
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: This rule will be
in effect for only one hour for this event.
Vessel traffic can safely pass outside the
safety zone during the event. In the
event that this temporary safety zone
affects shipping, commercial vessels
may request permission from the
Captain of the Port Buffalo to transit
through the safety zone. The Coast
Guard will give notice to the public via
a Broadcast to Mariners that the
regulation is in effect.
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. 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). 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 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 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.
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
39317
Though this rule would 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 concern an environmental risk
to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
The Coast Guard recognizes the treaty
rights of Native American Tribes.
Moreover, the Coast Guard is committed
to working with Tribal Governments to
implement local policies and to mitigate
tribal concerns. We have determined
that this safety zone and fishing rights
protection need not be incompatible.
We have also determined that 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.
Nevertheless, Indian Tribes that have
questions concerning the provisions of
this rule or options for compliance are
encouraged to contact the point of
contact listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
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
E:\FR\FM\18JYR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 137 / Wednesday, July 18, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
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
procedure; and related management
system 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.
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC71 with RULES
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD
and Department of Homeland Security
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 determined 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.

ACTION: Final order.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In this order, EPA denies
objections to an order denying a petition
requesting the modification or
revocation of the pesticide tolerances for
alachlor, chlorothalonil, and
metribuzin, established under section
408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). The petition
was filed on December 17, 2004, by the
States of New York, California,
Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The
petitioners claimed that EPA had
improperly removed an additional
safety factor for the protection of infants
and children from the risk assessments
for these pesticide tolerances and that
inclusion of this safety factor rendered
the tolerances unsafe. EPA issued an
order denying that petition, in part, on
August 2, 2006. On October 2, 2006,
New York, Connecticut, and
Massachusetts filed objections to EPA’s
denial order.
DATES: This final order is effective July

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on

from a portion of Lake Ontario during the Oswego Harborfest Fireworks
display on July 28, 2007. This temporary safety zone is necessary to
protect spectators and vessels from the hazards associated with

Sector Buffalo; (716) 843-9573.
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
of ensuring the safety of spectators and vessels during this event and
immediate action is necessary to prevent possible loss of life or
property.
Background and Purpose
This temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and spectators from hazards associated with a fireworks
display. Based on accidents that have occurred in other Captain of the
Port Zones, and the explosive hazards of fireworks, the Captain of the
Port Buffalo has determined that fireworks launches proximate to
watercraft pose a significant risk to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of recreation 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 location of the launch platform will help ensure
the safety of persons and property at these events and help minimize
the associated risks.
[[Page 39317]]
Discussion of Rule
A temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
spectators and vessels during the setup, loading and launching of a
fireworks display in conjunction with the Oswego Harborfest 2007
fireworks display. The fireworks display will occur between 9 p.m. and
10 p.m. on July 28, 2007.
The safety zone for the fireworks will encompass all waters of Lake
Ontario, Oswego, NY within a thousand foot radius of position
43[deg]28'10'' N, 076[deg] 31'04''W. [DATUM: NAD 83].
All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Buffalo or the on-scene representative.
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his
on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port Buffalo or his 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 Order. 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 safety zone's activation.
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 will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in a portion of Lake Ontario, Oswego, NY between 9
p.m. and 10 p.m. on July 28, 2007.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will be in effect for only one hour for this event. Vessel traffic
can safely pass outside the safety zone during the event. In the event
that this temporary safety zone affects shipping, commercial vessels
may request permission from the Captain of the Port Buffalo to transit
through the safety zone. The Coast Guard will give notice to the public
via a Broadcast to Mariners that the regulation is in effect.
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. 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). 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 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 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 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 concern an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
The Coast Guard recognizes the treaty rights of Native American
Tribes. Moreover, the Coast Guard is committed to working with Tribal
Governments to implement local policies and to mitigate tribal
concerns. We have determined that this safety zone and fishing rights
protection need not be incompatible. We have also determined that 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. Nevertheless, Indian Tribes
that have questions concerning the provisions of this rule or options
for compliance are encouraged to contact the point of contact listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
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
[[Page 39318]]
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 procedure; and related management
system 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 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 determined 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.
