ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a safety zone upon the
navigable waters of the Pacific Ocean,
San Diego, CA, in support of a paddling
regatta near the Ocean Beach Pier. This

Jkt 217001
Background and Purpose
The Surfrider Foundation San Diego
Chapter is sponsoring the Paddle for
Clean Water. The event will consist of
900 to 1000 participants paddling
around the Ocean Beach Pier. The
sponsor will provide rescue vessels, as
well as perimeter safety boats for the
duration of this event. This safety zone
is necessary to provide for the safety of
the participants, crew, spectators,
participating vessels, and other vessels
and users of the waterway.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
safety zone that will be enforced on
September 13, 2009 from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. The limits of the safety zone will
be as follows:
32°45.00′ N, 117°15.12′ W;
32°45.10′ N, 117°15.30′ W;
32°44.55′ N, 117°15.38′ W;

32°44.43′ N, 117°15.19′ W; along the
shoreline to
32°45.00′ N, 117°15.12′ W.
This safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of the
participants, crew, spectators,
participating vessels, and other vessels
and users of the waterway. Persons and
vessels will be prohibited from entering
into, transiting through, or anchoring
within this safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port or
his designated representative.
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 temporary final rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation is unnecessary. 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
designated 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 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 designated safety
zone during the specified times.

Assistance for Small Entities
Civil Justice Reform
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.
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.
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.
CPrice-Sewell on DSKGBLS3C1PROD 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
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.

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 establishment of a safety zone.

VI. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new
product identified as Priority Mail
Contract 16 to the Competitive Product
List. For the reasons discussed below,
the Commission approves the Request.
II. Background
On July 24, 2009, the Postal Service
filed a formal request pursuant to 39
U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq.
to add Priority Mail Contract 16 to the
Competitive Product List.1 The Postal
Service asserts that the Priority Mail
Contract 16 product is a competitive
product ‘‘not of general applicability’’
within the meaning of 39 U.S.C.
3632(b)(3). This Request has been
assigned Docket No. MC2009–36.
The Postal Service
contemporaneously filed a contract
related to the proposed new product
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39
CFR 3015.5. The contract has been
assigned Docket No. CP2009–55.
In support of its Request, the Postal
Service filed the following materials: (1)
A redacted version of the contract
which, among other things, provides
that the contract will expire 1 year from
the effective date, which is proposed to
be the day that the Commission issues
all regulatory approvals; 2 (2) requested
changes in the Mail Classification
Schedule product list; 3 (3) a Statement
of Supporting Justification as required
by 39 CFR 3020.32; 4 and (4)
certification of compliance with 39
U.S.C. 3633(a).5 The Postal Service also
references Governors’ Decision 09–6,
filed in Docket No. MC2009–25, as
authorization of the new product.
Notice at 1.
In the Statement of Supporting
Justification, Mary Prince Anderson,
Acting Manager, Sales and
Communications, Expedited Shipping,
asserts that the service to be provided
under the contract will cover its
attributable costs, make a positive
contribution to coverage of institutional

Request, Attachment C, at 1. W. Ashley
Lyons, Manager, Regulatory Reporting
and Cost Analysis, Finance Department,
certifies that the contract complies with
39 U.S.C. 3633(a). See id., Attachment
D.
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including the
supporting data and the unredacted
contract, under seal. In its Request, the
Postal Service maintains that the
contract and related financial
information, including the customer’s
name and the accompanying analyses
that provide prices, certain terms and
conditions, and financial projections,
should remain confidential. Id. at 2–3.
In Order No. 260, the Commission
gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and
provided the public with an opportunity
to comment.6
III. Comments
Comments were filed by the Public
Representative.7 No comments were
submitted by other interested parties.
The Public Representative states that
each ‘‘element of 39 U.S.C. 3633(a)
appears to be met by Priority Mail
Contract 16. Id. at 2. On the other hand,
he observes ‘‘it is not clear that the
* * * justification of this contract
* * * comports with the requirements
of 3632(b)(3).’’ Id. at 3. He submits that
the term of the contract is ambiguous,
particularly because the provision
stating that the contract ‘‘shall expire
one year from the effective date’’ is at
odds with other clauses for annual
adjustments. Id. at 3. While recognizing
the Governors’ preapproved pricing
shell, he also contends that ‘‘the
contract expiration must be established
definitively since it is an essential
component of the contract’s
classification as ‘a product.’ ’’ Id.
The Public Representative notes that
the Postal Service has duties to provide
packaging and labels. Id. at 2–3. He also
points out that the ‘‘contract appears to
be silent on issues such as manifesting,
electronically or otherwise.’’ Id. at 3. He
adds that the Postal Service’s Request at
Attachment C provides a statement of
support that incorrectly refers to Priority
Mail Contract 14, rather than 16.

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.
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 establishment of a
safety zone. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
