have economic effect. However, the
economic effect of the allocations is not
substantial under the test described in
paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(b) of this section because
there was a strong likelihood, at the time the
allocations became part of the AB
partnership agreement, that the net increases
and decreases to A’s and B’s capital accounts
in year 1 would not differ substantially when
compared to the net increases and decreases
to A’s and B’s capital accounts for year 1 if
the allocations were not contained in the
partnership agreement, and the total tax
liability from the income earned by AB in
year 1 (taking into account the tax attributes
of the allocations to C) would be reduced as
a result of such allocations. Under paragraph
(b)(3) of this section, the subpart F income
and non-subpart F income earned by AB in
year 1 must each be reallocated 50 percent
to A and 50 percent to B.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing safety zones for various
fireworks events in the Captain of the
Port Buffalo zone. This rule consolidates
current regulations establishing safety
zones for annual fireworks events in the
former Captain of the Port Cleveland
Zone and the former Captain of the Port
Buffalo Zone. In addition, it adds events
not previously published in Coast Guard
regulations. These safety zones are
necessary to protect spectators,
participants, and vessels from the
hazards associated with fireworks
displays or other events.
DATES: This rule is effective June 18,
2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments and material
received from the public as well as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On April 3, 2008, we published a
notice of rulemaking (NPRM) entitled
Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones
in the Captain of the Port Buffalo zone
in the Federal Register (73 FR 18225).
We received no letters commenting on
the rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.
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.
We expect the economic impact of
this rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
The Coast Guard’s use of these safety
zones will be periodic, of short
duration, and designed to minimize the
impact on navigable waters. These
safety zones will only be enforced
immediately before, during, and after
the time the events occur. Furthermore,
these safety zones have been designed to
allow vessels to transit unrestricted to
portions of the waterways not affected
by the safety zones. The Coast Guard
expects insignificant adverse impact to
mariners from the activation of these
safety zones.
Background and Purpose
On July 22, 2005, the Coast Guard
consolidated the Captain of the Port
Cleveland zone and the Captain of the
Port Buffalo zone into one zone redefining the Captain of the Port Buffalo
zone. This rule will consolidate the
regulations found in 33 CFR 165.202,
Safety Zones; Annual Fireworks Events
in the Captain of the Port Cleveland
Zone, the regulations found in 33 CFR
165.914, Safety Zones; Annual
Fireworks Events in the Captain of the
Port Buffalo Zone so that all the annual
fireworks events in the current Captain
of the Port Buffalo Zone are found in
one CFR section. In addition this rule
adds events not previously published in
the CFR.
These safety zones are necessary to
protect vessels and people from the
hazards associated with fireworks
displays or other events. Such hazards
include obstructions to the waterway
that may cause marine casualties and
the explosive danger of fireworks and
debris falling into the water that may
cause death or serious bodily harm.
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 would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This rule will affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners of operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
the areas designated as safety zones in
subparagraphs (1) through (26) during
the dates and times the safety zones are
being enforced.
These safety zones 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 short periods of time, and
only once per year, per zone. The safety
zones have been designed to allow
traffic to pass safely around the zone
whenever possible and vessels will be
allowed to pass through the zones with
the permission of the Captain of the
Port.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
No comments were received regarding
this rule.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 97 / Monday, May 19, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
in the NPRM 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 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 nevertheless discuss its
effects elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
This rule will not effect the taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.

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 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 these regulations 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
encourage 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
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
PO 00000
Frm 00007

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

Firework Events; Great Lake Annual Firework Events
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing safety zones for various
fireworks events in the Captain of the Port Buffalo zone. This rule
consolidates current regulations establishing safety zones for annual
fireworks events in the former Captain of the Port Cleveland Zone and
the former Captain of the Port Buffalo Zone. In addition, it adds
events not previously published in Coast Guard regulations. These
safety zones are necessary to protect spectators, participants, and
vessels from the hazards associated with fireworks displays or other
events.
DATES: This rule is effective June 18, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public as well as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On April 3, 2008, we published a notice of rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain of the
Port Buffalo zone in the Federal Register (73 FR 18225). We received no
letters commenting on the rule. No public meeting was requested, and
none was held.
Background and Purpose
On July 22, 2005, the Coast Guard consolidated the Captain of the
Port Cleveland zone and the Captain of the Port Buffalo zone into one
zone re-defining the Captain of the Port Buffalo zone. This rule will
consolidate the regulations found in 33 CFR 165.202, Safety Zones;
Annual Fireworks Events in the Captain of the Port Cleveland Zone, the
regulations found in 33 CFR 165.914, Safety Zones; Annual Fireworks
Events in the Captain of the Port Buffalo Zone so that all the annual
fireworks events in the current Captain of the Port Buffalo Zone are
found in one CFR section. In addition this rule adds events not
previously published in the CFR.
These safety zones are necessary to protect vessels and people from
the hazards associated with fireworks displays or other events. Such
hazards include obstructions to the waterway that may cause marine
casualties and the explosive danger of fireworks and debris falling
into the water that may cause death or serious bodily harm.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
No comments were received regarding this rule.
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.
We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
The Coast Guard's use of these safety zones will be periodic, of
short duration, and designed to minimize the impact on navigable
waters. These safety zones will only be enforced immediately before,
during, and after the time the events occur. Furthermore, these safety
zones have been designed to allow vessels to transit unrestricted to
portions of the waterways not affected by the safety zones. The Coast
Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners from the
activation of these safety zones.
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
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
This rule will affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners of operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in the areas designated as safety zones in
subparagraphs (1) through (26) during the dates and times the safety
zones are being enforced.
These safety zones 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 short periods of time, and only once per
year, per zone. The safety zones have been designed to allow traffic to
pass safely around the zone whenever possible and vessels will be
allowed to pass through the zones with the permission of the Captain of
the Port.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
[[Page 28705]]
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM 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 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
nevertheless discuss its effects elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not effect the 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 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 these regulations 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 encourage 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 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 Check List'' and a final
``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' are available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
