33 CFR Part 334
United States Marine Corps Restricted
Area and Danger Zone, Neuse River

Station Cherry Point, NC
United States Army Corps of
Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Corps of Engineers is
amending its regulations to designate an
existing rifle range fan as a danger zone.
The military exercise area is located
within the Rifle Range of Marine Corps
Air Station Cherry Point, North
Carolina, along the Neuse River. The
danger zone will only be activated by
the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry
Point during range operational hours.
The Marine Corps will advise residents
in the vicinity of the range fan thus
ensuring their safety by alerting them to
temporary potential hazardous
conditions which may exist as a result
of small arms exercises. There will be
no change in the use of the existing
exercise area. The area will be marked
on navigation charts to ensure security
and safety for the public. Entry points
into the danger zone will be
prominently marked with signage
indicating the boundary of the danger
zone. The placement of aids to
navigation and regulatory markers will
be installed in accordance with the
requirements of the United States Coast
Guard. If the proposed signage exceeds
nationwide permit and/or regional
general permit conditions, the
Commander, United States Marine
Corps, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry
Point, North Carolina, will seek
additional Department of the Army
authorizations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
April 25, 2007, issue of the Federal
Register (72 FR 20460), the Corps
published a proposed rule to designate
an existing rifle range fan as a danger
zone. The proposed danger zone is
within an existing restricted area that
was established in 1951 (16 FR 2578)
and amended in 1997 (62 FR 17553). In
response to the April 25, 2007, proposed
rule, no comments were received.
Pursuant to its authorities in section
7 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917
(40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter
XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of
1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3), the
Corps amends 33 CFR 334.430 by
adding a danger zone along the Neuse
River as described below. The
regulations governing the existing
restricted area have not been changed.

b. Review Under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act
This rule has been reviewed under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–
354) which requires the preparation of
a regulatory flexibility analysis for any
regulation that will have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities (i.e., small
businesses and small governments). The
Corps has determined that the
establishment of this danger zone will
have practically no economic impact on
the public, result in no anticipated
navigational hazard, and will not
interfere with existing waterway traffic.
This rule will have no significant
economic impact on small entities.
c. Review Under the National
Environmental Policy Act
Due to the administrative nature of
this action and because there is no
intended change in the use of the area,

d. Unfunded Mandates Act
This rule does not impose an
enforceable duty on the private sector
and, therefore, it is not a Federal private
sector mandate and it is not subject to
the requirements of either section 202 or
section 205 of the Unfunded Mandates
Act. We have also found under section
203 of the Act that small governments
will not be significantly and uniquely
affected by this rulemaking.
