Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
the Biscayne Bay Yacht Racing
Association (BBYRA) Full Moon Races,
which will temporarily limit the
movement of non-participant vessels in
Biscayne Bay in Miami, FL. This
temporary safety zone is intended to
restrict vessels from entering the waters
where the event will be held unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of
the Port, Miami, Florida, or designated
representative. This regulation is
needed to provide for the safety of life
on navigable waters during the event to
participants, marine spectators and
recreational and professional mariner
traffic.
This rule is effective from 7 p.m.
on June 30, 2007 until 11 p.m. on
August 25, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this
preamble as being available in the
docket are part of docket COTP MIAMI
07–065 and are available for inspection
or copying at Sector Miami, 100
MacArthur Causeway, Miami Beach, FL
33139 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.

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. Notice of
these events was not provided to the
Coast Guard with sufficient time to
publish an NPRM and receive public
comment before the event date.
Furthermore, good cause exists because
this temporary safety zone will not
significantly restrict the use of the
waterway as all vessels will be able to
safely transit around the zone. A Coast
Guard Patrol Commander will be

available and the Coast Guard will also
issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
This temporary rule is necessary to
ensure the safety of participants,
spectators, and the general public on the
navigable waters of the United States.
Under 5 U.S.C. (d)(3), for the same
reasons articulated in the preceding
paragraph, the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
The Biscayne Bay Yacht Racing
Association is sponsoring the BBYRA
Full Moon Races, approximately 12
sailboats, 20 to 54 feet in the length, are
expected to participate. The events will
be held on the evenings of June 31, July
28, and August 25, 2007. The public is
invited to attend. The high
concentration of event participants,
spectators, and the general boating
public presents an extra hazard to the
safety of life on the navigable waters of
the United States. A safety zone
encompassing the waters in the
Biscayne Bay & Intracoastal Waterway is
necessary to protect participants as well
as spectators from hazards associated
with the event.
40243
regulatory policies and procedures of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
We expect the economic impact of
this rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
DHS is unnecessary. Entry into the
safety zone is prohibited for only
limited time periods, and all vessels
should be able to safely transit around
the zone at all times. If the Coast Guard
Patrol Commander determines that it is
safe for vessels to transit the zone,
vessels may proceed through the zone
between scheduled racing events.
Traffic may resume normal operations at
the completion of scheduled races and
exhibitions as determined by the Coast
Guard Patrol Commander. Finally,
advance notifications to the maritime
community through marine information
broadcasts will allow mariners to adjust
plans accordingly.
Discussion of Rule
This rule establishes a temporary
safety zone for the BBYRA Full Moon
Races in Biscayne Bay in Miami, FL.
The safety zone is 100 yards around all
race participants as they transit the
waters of Biscayne Bay south of the
Rickenbaucker Causeway to Latitude
25°32′00″ . Vessels are prohibited from
anchoring, mooring, or transiting within
this zone, unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port, Miami, Florida, or
designated representative. A succession
of not fewer than 5 short whistle or horn
blasts from a Coast Guard patrol vessel
will be the signal for any and all vessels
within the safety zone to take immediate
steps to avoid collision. Traffic may
resume normal operations at the
completion of the scheduled races and
exhibitions as determined by the Coast
Guard Patrol Commander. This
regulation will be enforced from 7 p.m.
to 11 p.m. on June 30, July 28, and
August 25, 2007.
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 or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
the waters of the Biscayne Bay during
the effective period. This temporary
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 4.0 hours in the evening
when vessel traffic is low, vessel traffic
may safely pass around the zone, and
vessels may pass through the zone with
the permission of the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander.
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. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the
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

this rule.
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 affect a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.

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,

Frm 00030

which guides 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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This rule extends certain
compliance dates in the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permitting requirements and
Effluent Limitations Guidelines and
Standards (ELGs) for concentrated
animal feeding operations (CAFOs)
SUMMARY:
while EPA works to complete
rulemaking to respond to the decision of
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit in Waterkeeper Alliance et al. v.
EPA, 399 F.3d 486 (2nd Cir. 2005). The
sole purpose of this rule is to address
timing issues associated with the
Agency’s response to the Waterkeeper
decision.
This final rule revises the dates
established in the 2003 CAFO rule and
later modified by a rule published in the
Federal Register on February 10, 2006,
by which facilities newly defined as
CAFOs are required to seek permit
coverage and by which all permitted
CAFOs are required to develop and
implement their nutrient management
plans (NMPs). EPA is extending the date
by which operations defined as CAFOs
as of April 14, 2003, that were not
defined as CAFOs prior to that date,
must seek NPDES permit coverage, from
July 31, 2007, to February 27, 2009. EPA
is also amending the date by which
operations that become defined as
CAFOs after April 14, 2003, due to
operational changes that would not have
made them a CAFO prior to April 14,
2003, and that are not new sources,
must seek NPDES permit coverage, from
July 31, 2007, to February 27, 2009.
Finally, EPA is extending the deadline
by which permitted CAFOs are required
to develop and implement NMPs, from
July 31, 2007, to February 27, 2009.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective as
of July 24, 2007.
ADDRESSES: EPA established a docket

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. Notice of these events was not
provided to the Coast Guard with sufficient time to publish an NPRM and
receive public comment before the event date. Furthermore, good cause
exists because this temporary safety zone will not significantly
restrict the use of the waterway as all vessels will be able to safely
transit around the zone. A Coast Guard Patrol Commander will be
available and the Coast Guard will also issue a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners. This temporary rule is necessary to ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and the general public on the navigable

Under 5 U.S.C. (d)(3), for the same reasons articulated in the
preceding paragraph, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
The Biscayne Bay Yacht Racing Association is sponsoring the BBYRA
Full Moon Races, approximately 12 sailboats, 20 to 54 feet in the
length, are expected to participate. The events will be held on the
evenings of June 31, July 28, and August 25, 2007. The public is
invited to attend. The high concentration of event participants,
spectators, and the general boating public presents an extra hazard to
the safety of life on the navigable waters of the United States. A
safety zone encompassing the waters in the Biscayne Bay & Intracoastal
Waterway is necessary to protect participants as well as spectators
from hazards associated with the event.
Discussion of Rule
This rule establishes a temporary safety zone for the BBYRA Full
Moon Races in Biscayne Bay in Miami, FL. The safety zone is 100 yards
around all race participants as they transit the waters of Biscayne Bay
south of the Rickenbaucker Causeway to Latitude 25[deg]32'00'' .
Vessels are prohibited from anchoring, mooring, or transiting within
this zone, unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Miami,
Florida, or designated representative. A succession of not fewer than 5
short whistle or horn blasts from a Coast Guard patrol vessel will be
the signal for any and all vessels within the safety zone to take
immediate steps to avoid collision. Traffic may resume normal
operations at the completion of the scheduled races and exhibitions as
determined by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. This regulation will be
enforced from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on June 30, July 28, and August 25,
2007.
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. It is not ``significant'' under the
regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory policies and procedures
of DHS is unnecessary. Entry into the safety zone is prohibited for
only limited time periods, and all vessels should be able to safely
transit around the zone at all times. If the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander determines that it is safe for vessels to transit the zone,
vessels may proceed through the zone between scheduled racing events.
Traffic may resume normal operations at the completion of scheduled
races and exhibitions as determined by the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander. Finally, advance notifications to the maritime community
through marine information broadcasts will allow mariners to adjust
plans accordingly.
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 or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in the waters of the Biscayne Bay during the
effective period. This temporary 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 4.0
hours in the evening when vessel traffic is low, vessel traffic may
safely pass around the zone, and vessels may pass through the zone with
the permission of the Coast Guard Patrol Commander.
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
[[Page 40244]]
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT for assistance in understanding this rule.
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

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 affect 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,
which guides 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.
A final ``Environmental Analysis Checklist'' and ``Categorical
Exclusion Determination'' are available in the docket where indicated
under addresses.
