maintenance during this deviation
period. No objections to the proposed
temporary deviation were raised.
Vessels that can transit the bridge,
while in the closed-to-navigation
position, may continue to do so at any
time.
In the event of an emergency the
drawspan can be opened with 45
minutes advance notice.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On February 7, 2008, we published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled Safety zone, Colorado River,
Parker, AZ in the Federal Register (73
FR 7231). We received no letters
commenting on the proposed rule. No
public hearing was requested, and none
was held.
Background and Purpose
RPM Racing Enterprises is sponsoring
the Bluewater Resort and Casino APBA
National Tour/Regional Championship,
which is held on the Lake Moolvalya
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. The size of the
boats varies from eight to 15 feet.
Approximately 130 to 150 boats will
participate in this event. The sponsor
has provided two water rescue and two
patrol vessels to patrol this event.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone
within the Lake Moolvalya region on the
navigable waters of the Colorado River
in Parker, Arizona for the Bluewater
Resort and Casino American Powerboat
Association (APBA) National Tour/
Regional Championship. This temporary
safety zone is necessary to provide for
SUMMARY:
18961
No changes will be made to the rule,
since no comments were received.
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
E:\FR\FM\08APR1.SGM

18962
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 68 / Tuesday, April 8, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
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 impact of this rule to
be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation is unnecessary. The safety
zone is of a limited duration, and is
limited to a relatively small geographic
area. A race Patrol Commander will be
on-scene and will authorize recreational
traffic when vessel movement is safe.
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 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 or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
a portion of the Colorado River, Parker,
AZ from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 4,
2008. 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 twelve (12) hours in
the day for a period of three (3) days.
Before the effective period, we will
submit an inclusion in the Local Notice
to Mariners (LNM).
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 your small business or
organization is affected by this rule, or
if you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance,
please contact MST3 Kristen Beer,
Waterways Management, U.S. Coast
Guard Sector San Diego at (619) 278–
7233.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees

compliance with, Federal regulations to

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
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
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.
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
Check List’’ and a final ‘‘Categorical
Exclusion Determination’’ are available
in the docket where indicated under

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone within
the Lake Moolvalya region on the navigable waters of the Colorado River
in Parker, Arizona for the Bluewater Resort and Casino American
Powerboat Association (APBA) National Tour/Regional Championship. This
temporary safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the
participants, crew, spectators, sponsor vessels of the race, and
general users of the waterway. Persons and vessels are prohibited from
entering into, transiting through, or anchoring within this safety zone
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, or his designation
representative.

Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Diego, CA at (619) 278-7233.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On February 7, 2008, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Safety zone, Colorado River, Parker, AZ in the Federal
Register (73 FR 7231). We received no letters commenting on the
proposed rule. No public hearing was requested, and none was held.
Background and Purpose
RPM Racing Enterprises is sponsoring the Bluewater Resort and
Casino APBA National Tour/Regional Championship, which is held on the
Lake Moolvalya 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. The
size of the boats varies from eight to 15 feet. Approximately 130 to
150 boats will participate in this event. The sponsor has provided two
water rescue and two patrol vessels to patrol this event.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
No changes will be made to the rule, since no comments were
received.
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
[[Page 18962]]
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 impact of this rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. The safety zone is of a limited
duration, and is limited to a relatively small geographic area. A race
Patrol Commander will be on-scene and will authorize recreational
traffic when vessel movement is safe.
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 a portion of the Colorado River, Parker, AZ from 6
a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 4, 2008. 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 twelve
(12) hours in the day for a period of three (3) days. Before the
effective period, we will submit an inclusion in the Local Notice to
Mariners (LNM).
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 your
small business or organization is affected by this rule, or if you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact MST3 Kristen Beer, Waterways Management, U.S. Coast Guard
Sector San Diego at (619) 278-7233.
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 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 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.
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 Check List'' and a final
``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' are available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
