SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
VerDate Nov<24>2008
12:12 May 20, 2009
Jkt 217001
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because
immediate action is necessary to ensure
the safety of vessels, spectators,
participants, and others in the vicinity
of the marine event on the dates and
times this rule will be in effect and
delay would be contrary to the public
interest.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register because delaying the effective
date would be contrary to the public
interest, since immediate action is
needed to ensure the public’s safety.
Background and Purpose
Temporary safety zones are necessary
to ensure the safety of vessels and
spectators from the hazards associated
with air and water shows. Based on
accidents that have occurred in other
Captain of the Port zones, the Captain of
the Port Buffalo has determined air and
water shows pose significant risks to
public safety and property. The likely
combination of large numbers of
recreational vessels, congested
waterways, and alcohol use could easily
result in serious injuries or fatalities.
Discussion of Rule
The rule and associated safety zones
are necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and people during events in the
Captain of the Port Buffalo area of
responsibility that may pose a hazard to
the public. The safety zone is described
in subparagraph (1) of this regulation.
The safety zone will be enforced only
immediately before and during the
event which poses a hazard to the
public and only upon notice by the
Captain of the Port. The Captain of the
Port Buffalo will cause notice of
enforcement of the safety zone
established by this section to be made
by all appropriate means to the affected
segments of the public including
publication in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a). Such
means of notification may also include,
but are not limited to Broadcast Notice
to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
The Captain of the Port will issue a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners notifying
the public when enforcement of the
safety zone established by this section is
suspended.

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.
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 this safety
zone will be periodic in nature, of short
duration, and designed to minimize the
impact on navigable waters. This safety
zone will only be enforced immediately
before and during the time the event
occurs. Furthermore, this safety zone
has been designed to allow vessels to
transit unrestricted to portions of the
waterway not affected by the safety
zone. The Coast Guard expects
insignificant adverse impact to mariners
from the activation of this safety zone.
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 would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
the area designated as the safety zone in
subparagraph (1) during the date and
time the safety zone is being enforced.
This safety zone would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons. The safety zone
in this rule would be in effect for short
periods of time and only once per year.
The safety zone has been designed to
allow traffic to pass safely around the
zone whenever possible and vessels will
E:\FR\FM\21MYR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 97 / Thursday, May 21, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
be allowed to pass through the zone
with the permission of the Captain of
the Port.
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of
this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Assistance for Small Entities
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.
Taking of Private Property
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want 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 LT Brian
Sadler, Prevention Department, Coast
Guard Sector Buffalo, Buffalo, NY at
(716) 843–9385.
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.
dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with RULES
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
VerDate Nov<24>2008
12:12 May 20, 2009
Jkt 217001
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.
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
Frm 00009
Fmt 4700
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 023–01 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 and, therefore, paragraph (34)(g) of
the Instruction applies. An
environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On September 26, 2008, a final rule
following notice and comment period
entitled ‘‘State Parent Locator Service;
Safeguarding Child Support
Information’’ was published in the
Federal Register [73 FR 56422] to
address requirements for State Parent
Locator Service responses to authorized
location requests, State IV–D program
safeguarding of confidential
information, authorized disclosures of
this information, and restrictions on the
use of confidential data and information
for child support purposes with
exceptions for certain disclosures
permitted by statute. The effective date
given for the final rule was March 23,
2009.
In accordance with the memorandum
of January 20, 2009, from the Assistant
to the President and Chief of Staff
entitled ‘‘Regulatory Review’’ [74 FR
4435], on March 3, 2009, we published
a notice in the Federal Register [74 FR
9171], seeking public comment on a
contemplated delay of 60 days in the
effective date of the rule entitled ‘‘State
Parent Locator Service; Safeguarding
Child Support Information.’’ In response
to comment, the Department issued a
subsequent notice on March 20, 2009
[74 FR 11879] delaying the effective
date of the September 26, 2008 rule by
60 days until May 22, 2009, in order to
permit officials of the new
Administration an opportunity to
review and approve the policies in the
regulation.
However, subsequent to publication
of the March 20, 2009 notice, we
determined that additional time would
be needed for Department officials to
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
complete their review of the rule and to
assess fully the comments received in
response to the March 3, 2009 notice. As
a result, on April 15, 2009, a notice was
published in the Federal Register [74
FR 17445] indicating that the
Department was contemplating a further
delay in the effective date of the ‘‘State
Parent Locator; Safeguarding Child
Support Information’’ final rule to
December 30, 2010. As discussed below,
the April 15, 2009 notice generated
three comments, all of which supported
the December 30, 2010 effective date.
II. Provision of This Action
This action further delays the
effective date of the September 26, 2008
final rule. The effective date of the final
rule which would have been May 22,
2009, is now December 30, 2010. The
delay in the effective date is necessary
to give Department officials the
opportunity for further review of the
issues of law and policy raised by the
rule.
III. Comments Received in Response to
the April 15, 2009 Notice
We received three comments in
response to the April 15, 2009 notice
with comment period on the
contemplated delay in the effective date
of the ‘‘State Parent Locator Service;
Safeguarding Child Support
Information’’ final rule. Although the
April 15, 2009 notice invited comments
on the contemplated extension of the
effective date of the regulation to
December 30, 2010, it also generated
comments recommending changes to
substantive areas of the final rule. All
commenters supported the delayed
effective date and as a result, we are
delaying the effective date of the rule to
December 30, 2010 to allow sufficient
time for Department officials to review
issues of law and policy raised by the
rule.
A summary of the comments received
follows:
Comments: All three commenters
supported the contemplated delay in the
effective date. Two of the commenters
also provided comments that are
substantive in nature. One commenter
was concerned about the provisions of
the rule that authorize disclosure of
State child support data to private child
support collection agencies (PCAs),
companies that do not operate under a
contract with the State or county child
support program, but instead contract
directly with custodial parents. The
same commenter also recommended
that the Department review the child
welfare provision of the rule to ensure
that it fully complies with the Fostering
Connections to Success and Increasing

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because immediate action is necessary to
ensure the safety of vessels, spectators, participants, and others in
the vicinity of the marine event on the dates and times this rule will
be in effect and delay would be contrary to the public interest.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register because delaying the effective date
would be contrary to the public interest, since immediate action is
needed to ensure the public's safety.
Background and Purpose
Temporary safety zones are necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and spectators from the hazards associated with air and water
shows. Based on accidents that have occurred in other Captain of the
Port zones, the Captain of the Port Buffalo has determined air and
water shows pose significant risks to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of recreational vessels, congested
waterways, and alcohol use could easily result in serious injuries or
fatalities.
Discussion of Rule
The rule and associated safety zones are necessary to ensure the
safety of vessels and people during events in the Captain of the Port
Buffalo area of responsibility that may pose a hazard to the public.
The safety zone is described in subparagraph (1) of this regulation.
The safety zone will be enforced only immediately before and during the
event which poses a hazard to the public and only upon notice by the
Captain of the Port. The Captain of the Port Buffalo will cause notice
of enforcement of the safety zone established by this section to be
made by all appropriate means to the affected segments of the public
including publication in the Federal Register, in accordance with 33
CFR 165.7(a). Such means of notification may also include, but are not
limited to Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
The Captain of the Port will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners
notifying the public when enforcement of the safety zone established by
this section is suspended.
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.
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 this safety zone will be periodic in
nature, of short duration, and designed to minimize the impact on
navigable waters. This safety zone will only be enforced immediately
before and during the time the event occurs. Furthermore, this safety
zone has been designed to allow vessels to transit unrestricted to
portions of the waterway not affected by the safety zone. The Coast
Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners from the
activation of this safety zone.
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 would affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in the area designated as the safety zone in
subparagraph (1) during the date and time the safety zone is being
enforced. This safety zone would not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities for the following reasons.
The safety zone in this rule would be in effect for short periods of
time and only once per year. The safety zone has been designed to allow
traffic to pass safely around the zone whenever possible and vessels
will
[[Page 23797]]
be allowed to pass through the zone with the permission of the Captain
of the Port.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want 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 LT Brian Sadler, Prevention
Department, Coast Guard Sector Buffalo, Buffalo, NY at (716) 843-9385.
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 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 023-01 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 and, therefore, paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction
applies. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
