ADDRESSES:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On May 24, 2007, we published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled ‘‘Anchorage Regulations;
Edgecomb Maine, Sheepscot River’’ in
the Federal Register (72 FR 29092). We
received no comments on the proposed
rule. No public hearing was requested,
and none was held.
Background and Purpose
This rule is intended to reduce the
risk of vessel collisions by creating a
general anchorage area in Edgecomb,
Maine adjacent to the current town
mooring fields. This rule is designed to
reserve approximately 15 anchorages for
transient vessels visiting the area from
May through October each year. The
anchorage would accommodate both
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
70513
sail and power vessels with a 3-to-12foot draft.
The Coast Guard is designating the
general anchorage area in accordance
with 33 U.S.C. 471. The Coast Guard has
defined the anchorage area contained
herein with the advice and consent of
the Army Corps of Engineers, Northeast,
located at 696 Virginia Rd., Concord,
MA 01742.
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.
The anchorage area does not impede
the passage of recreational or
commercial vessels as it is not located
in the primary channel of the Sheepscot
River, and will therefore have a minimal
economic impact.
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.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we offered to assist small entities in
understanding this rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects 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 John J.
Mauro, at the address listed in
ADDRESSES above.
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

70514
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
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 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 would not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule 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.
yshivers on PROD1PC62 with RULES
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
will not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Jkt 214001
Indian Tribal Governments
This 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.
Instruction from further environmental
documentation. Paragraph (34)(f)
applies to this rule because it
establishes an anchorage area. A final
‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’
and a final ‘‘Categorical Exclusion
Determination’’ are available in the
docket for inspection or copying where
indicated under ADDRESSES.
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.
I
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 M16475.1D,
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(f), of the

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing
the operating regulation for the State
Route 23 vertical lift bridge across the
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Algiers
Alternate Route), mile 3.8, at Belle
Chasse, Louisiana. The portion of the
existing regulation allowing the bridge
to remain closed to navigation on the
last weekend in October is no longer
necessary and is being removed from
the operating schedule.
DATES: This rule is effective on
December 12, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this
preamble as being available in the
docket are part of docket [CGD08–07–
042] and are available for inspection or
copying at Eighth Coast Guard District,
Bridge Administration Branch, Hale
Boggs Federal Building, Room 1313, 500

holidays. The telephone number is (504)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
David Frank, Bridge Administration
Branch, telephone number 504–671–
2128.
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. Public
comment is not necessary since the
event requiring the closure has modified
its schedule and the bridge closure no
longer conforms to the dates and times
of the event.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective in less than 30
yshivers on PROD1PC62 with RULES

days after publication in the Federal
Register. There is no need to delay the
implementation of this rule because the
portion of the regulation being removed
was date specific to the last weekend in
October of each year.
Background and Purpose
On October 11, 2001, a Final Rule was
published in the Federal Register [65
FR 60360] to change the operating
schedule of the SR 23 vertical lift bridge
across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
(Algiers Alternate Route), mile 3.8, in
Belle Chasse, Louisiana. The change
allowed the drawbridge to not open for
the passage of vessels from 4 p.m. to 7
p.m. on Saturday and Sunday of the last
weekend in October. This regulation
was in addition to the existing
regulation that required the draw to
open on signal; except that, from 6 a.m.
to 8:30 a.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays, the draw need not be
opened from the passage of vessels. The
change was to facilitate the movement
of vehicular traffic from the New
Orleans Open House Air Show held
annually at the Naval Air Station, Joint
Reserve Base at Belle Chasse, Louisiana.
Subsequent to the modification of the
rule, the Air Show was cancelled in
2005, moved to a different weekend in
2006, and the time of the closure request
was modified in 2007. The rule change
for 2006 required a Temporary Rule to
be published and the rule change for
2007 required a Temporary Deviation to
be published. Additionally, the Air
Show will not be held in 2008 in Belle
Chasse making the regulation
unnecessary. Therefore, it has been
determined that the regulation be
modified to remove the requirements of
§ 117.451(b)(2). Any future closure
requirements, associated with any
future Air Shows in Belle Chase, will be
publicized as required by 33 CFR part
117, subpart A.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is changing 33 CFR
117.451 without publishing an NPRM.
This final rule changes the regulation
governing the bridge to eliminate the
section of the regulation that does not
require the draw to open for the passage
of vessels from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on
Saturday and Sunday of the last
weekend in October. This change
improves the ability of vessels to transit
on the waterway during this time
period. As explained above, it is not
necessary to publish an NPRM.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of
PO 00000
Frm 00037

Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that
Order.
The Coast Guard does not consider
this rule to be ‘‘significant’’ under that
Order because it does not adversely
affect the owners and operators of
vessels operating on the waterway.
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 have no impact on any
small entities because it will not
adversely affect the owners and
operators of vessels needing to transit
the waterway.
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

the Small Business and Agriculture

and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s

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 final rule would call for no new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).

Regulatory Information
On May 24, 2007, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Anchorage Regulations; Edgecomb Maine, Sheepscot

If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its

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 would not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule 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 will not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
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 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 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 M16475.1D,
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(f), of the Instruction from further
environmental documentation. Paragraph (34)(f) applies to this rule
because it establishes an anchorage area. A final ``Environmental
Analysis Check List'' and a final ``Categorical Exclusion
Determination'' are available in the docket for inspection or copying
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
