SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
The San Diego Armed Services YMCA
is sponsoring the Big Bay July Fourth
Fireworks Show, which will include a
fireworks presentation originating from
four separate fireworks barges. The
safety zone will encompass all navigable
waters within 1200 feet of each barge.
The approximate locations include:
Shelter Island Barge: 32°42.83′ N,
117°13.20′ W.
Harbor Island Barge: 32°43.33′ N,
117°12.00′ W.
Embarcadero Barge: 32°43.00′ N,
117°10.80′ W.
Seaport Village Barge: 32°42.23′ N,
117°10.05′ W.
This temporary safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of the
crew, spectators, and other users and
vessels of the waterway.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or
executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
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.
This determination is based on the
size and location of the safety zone.
Commercial vessels will not be
hindered by the safety zone.
Recreational vessels will not be allowed
to transit through the established safety
zone during the specified times unless
authorized to do so by the Captain of the
Port or his designated representative.

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 San Diego Bay from 8:45
p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on July 4, 2009.
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
enforced only 45 minutes late in the
evening when vessel traffic is low.
Vessel traffic can pass safely around the
zone. Before the effective period, the
Coast Guard will publish a Local Notice
to Mariners (LNM) and will issue
Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM)
alerts via marine Channel 16 VHF before
the temporary safety zone is enforced.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
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
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.
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
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
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 0023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded this action is one of a
category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule
involves the establishment of a safety
zone.
An environmental analysis checklist
and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the
docket where indicated under

The National Technology Transfer

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.

Review (NSR): Aggregation
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action on
a rule that amends and delays the
effective date for the rule addressing
‘‘aggregation’’ under the Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD) and the
nonattainment New Source Review
(nonattainment NSR) programs
(collectively, ‘‘NSR’’). The ‘‘NSR
Aggregation Amendments’’ were
published in the Federal Register on
January 15, 2009, and described when a
source must combine nominallyseparate physical changes and changes
in the method of operation for the
purpose of determining whether they
are a single change resulting in a
significant emissions increase.
On January 30, 2009, the Natural
Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
submitted a petition for reconsideration
(the ‘‘NRDC Petition’’) of the NSR
Aggregation Amendments. In response
to the NRDC Petition, EPA announced
on February 13, 2009, that it would
convene a reconsideration proceeding
for the NSR Aggregation Amendments
and would delay the effective date of
the rule from February 17, 2009 until
May 18, 2009. On March 18, 2009, EPA
proposed an additional delay of the
effective date and solicited comment on
the duration of the additional delay.
By this rule, EPA is delaying the
effective date of the NSR Aggregation
Amendments for an additional 12
months, which will allow for sufficient
time to conduct the reconsideration

II. Background
On January 15, 2009, the EPA (we)
issued a final rule amending our PSD
and nonattainment NSR regulations
implementing the definition of
‘‘modification’’ in the Clean Air Act
(CAA) 111(a)(4). The amendments
addressed when a source must combine
(aggregate) nominally-separate physical
changes and changes in the method of
operation (known as ‘‘activities’’) for the
purpose of determining whether they
are a single change resulting in a
significant emission increase. The
amendments retained the rule language
for aggregation but interpreted that rule
text to mean that sources and permitting
authorities should combine emissions
when activities are ‘‘substantially
related.’’ The rule also adopted a
rebuttable presumption that activities at
a plant can be presumed not to be
substantially related if they occur three
or more years apart. Collectively, this
rulemaking is known as the ‘‘NSR
Aggregation Amendments.’’ For further
information on the NSR Aggregation
Amendments, please see 74 FR 2376
(January 15, 2009).
On January 30, 2009, NRDC submitted
a petition for reconsideration of the NSR
Aggregation Amendments as provided
for in CAA 307(d)(7)(B).1 Under that
CAA provision, the Administrator may
commence a reconsideration proceeding
if the petitioner raises an objection to a
rule that was impracticable to raise
during the comment period or if the
grounds for the objection arose after the
comment period. In either case, the
objection must be of central relevance to
the outcome of the rule. The
Administrator may stay the
effectiveness of the rule for up to three
months during such reconsideration.
On February 13, 2009, we issued
notices announcing the convening of a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On April 6, 2009, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Safety Zone; Big Bay Fourth of July Fireworks; San
Diego Bay, San Diego, CA in the Federal Register (74 FR 15404). We
received no comments on the proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.
Background and Purpose
The San Diego Armed Services YMCA is sponsoring the Big Bay July
Fourth Fireworks Show, which will include a fireworks presentation
originating from four separate fireworks barges. The safety zone will
encompass all navigable waters within 1200 feet of each barge. The
approximate locations include:
Shelter Island Barge: 32[deg]42.83' N, 117[deg]13.20' W.
Harbor Island Barge: 32[deg]43.33' N, 117[deg]12.00' W.
Embarcadero Barge: 32[deg]43.00' N, 117[deg]10.80' W.
Seaport Village Barge: 32[deg]42.23' N, 117[deg]10.05' W.
This temporary safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety
of the crew, spectators, and other users and vessels of the waterway.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
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.
This determination is based on the size and location of the safety
zone. Commercial vessels will not be hindered by the safety zone.
Recreational vessels will not be allowed to transit through the
established safety zone during the specified times unless authorized to
do so by the Captain of the Port or his designated representative.
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 San Diego Bay from 8:45 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
on July 4, 2009.
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 enforced only 45 minutes late in the evening when vessel
traffic is low. Vessel traffic can pass safely around the zone. Before
the effective period, the Coast Guard will publish a Local Notice to
Mariners (LNM) and will issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM) alerts
via marine Channel 16 VHF before the temporary safety zone is enforced.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
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
[[Page 22692]]
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.
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 Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 0023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have concluded this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule involves the
establishment of a safety zone.
An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
