SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On July 1, 2009, we published a direct
final rule entitled ‘‘Anchorage
Regulations; Port of New York’’ in the
Federal Register (74 FR 31354). That
direct final rule revised the southern
boundary of Anchorage Ground No. 20–
F such that it no longer interferes with
the expanded Port Jersey Federal
Channel, removing authorization for
vessels to mistakenly anchor within a
Federal Channel, and therefore
removing this hazardous condition for
vessels navigating in this area.
Additionally, the direct final rule
updated two geographic coordinates
that make up the northern boundary.

The physical location of these points is
unchanged; however slight changes in
the coordinates reflect the update to

In the direct final rule we notified the
public of our intent to make the rule
effective on September 29, 2009, unless
an adverse comment, or notice of intent
to submit an adverse comment, was
received on or before August 31, 2009.
We did not receive any comments or
notices of intent to submit an adverse
comment on that rule. Therefore, under
33 CFR 1.05–55(d), we now confirm that
the ‘‘Anchorage Regulations; Port of
New York’’ rule became effective, as
scheduled, on September 29, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On May 26, 2009, we published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled ‘‘Anchorages; New and Revised
Anchorages in the Captain of the Port
Portland, OR, Area of Responsibility’’ in
the Federal Register (74 FR 24718). We
received one comment on the proposed
rule. There were no requests made for
a public hearing regarding this rule and
none was held. No other documents
have been published for this
rulemaking.
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
Background and Purpose
The establishment of a new
anchorage, modification of existing
anchorages, and revision of the
regulations governing anchorages
contained in this rule are necessary to
ensure that there are sufficient
anchorage opportunities in the Captain
of the Port Portland, Oregon, area of
responsibility, and ensure that the
locations of those opportunities are
clear. In addition, the changes will help
prevent conflicts with navigable
channels and other uses of anchorage
waters. Currently, there are insufficient
anchorage opportunities in the Captain
of the Port Portland, Oregon, area of
responsibility, and many of them
conflict with navigable channels and
other uses of the anchorage waters.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The one comment made about this
proposed rule explained that the
changes being made are the result of a
collaborative effort of the members of
the Lower Columbia Region Harbor
Safety Committee and that the Columbia
River Bar Pilots fully support the rule as
written. No changes were made as a
result of this comment.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:37 Oct 07, 2009
Jkt 220001
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. The establishment of a new
anchorage, modification of existing
anchorages, and revision of the
regulations governing anchorages do not
have any significant costs associated
with them.
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 Captain of the Port Portland,
Oregon, area of responsibility. However,
the establishment of a new anchorage,
modification of existing anchorages, and
revision of the regulations governing
anchorages that result from this rule
will have no economic impact on small
entities because anchorages can still be
transited and used for other maritime
activities besides anchoring.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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.
E:\FR\FM\08OCR1.SGM
08OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 194 / Thursday October 8, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
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.
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
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)(f), of the Instruction. This rule
involves the establishment of a new
anchorage, modification of existing
anchorages, and revision of regulations
governing anchorages in the Captain of
the Port Portland, Oregon, area of
responsibility, which are categorically
excluded under section 2.B.2 Figure 2–
1, paragraph 34(f), of the Instruction. An

(b) Regulations.
(1) All designated anchorages are
intended for the primary use of deepdraft vessels over 200 feet in length.
(2) If a vessel under 200 feet in length
is anchored in a designated anchorage,
the master or person in charge of the
vessel shall:
(i) Ensure that the vessel is anchored
so as to minimize conflict with large,
deep-draft vessels utilizing or seeking to
utilize the anchorage; and
(ii) Move the vessel out of the area if
requested by the master of a large, deepdraft vessel seeking to enter or depart
the area or if directed by the Captain of
the Port.
(3) Vessels desiring to anchor in
designated anchorages shall contact the
pilot office that manages that anchorage
to request an appropriate position to

The SIP is
a living document which the State
revises as necessary to address the
unique air pollution problems in the
State. Therefore, EPA from time to time
must take action on SIP revisions
containing new and/or revised
regulations to make them part of the
SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968),
EPA revised the procedures for
incorporating by reference Federally
approved SIPs, as a result of
consultations between EPA and the
Office of Federal Register. The
description of the revised SIP
document, IBR procedures and
‘‘Identification of plan’’ format are
discussed in further detail in the May
22, 1997, Federal Register document.
On June 29, 1999, EPA published a
document in the Federal Register (64
FR 34717) beginning the new IBR
procedure for Missouri. On May 24,
2004 (69 FR 29435), EPA published an
update to the IBR material for Missouri.
In this document, EPA is doing the
following:
1. Announcing the update to the IBR
material as of August 1, 2009.
2. Correcting the date format in the
‘‘State effective date’’ or ‘‘State
Submittal date’’ and ‘‘EPA approval
date’’ columns in § 52.820 paragraphs
(c), (d) and (e). Dates are numerical
month/day/year without additional
zeros.
3. Modifying the Federal Register
citation in § 52.1320 paragraphs (c), (d)
and (e) to reflect the beginning page of
the preamble as opposed to the page
number of the regulatory text.
4. Removing the first entry for 10–
5.220 in § 52.1320 paragraph (c) under
Chapter 5.
EPA has determined that today’s rule
falls under the ‘‘good cause’’ exemption
in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedures Act (APA)
which, upon finding ‘‘good cause,’’
authorizes agencies to dispense with
public participation and section
553(d)(3), which allows an agency to
make a rule effective immediately
(thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed
effective date otherwise provided for in
the APA). Today’s rule simply codifies
provisions which are already in effect as
a matter of law in Federal and approved
State programs. Under section 553 of the
APA, an agency may find good cause
where procedures are ‘‘impractical,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Public comment is
‘‘unnecessary’’ and ‘‘contrary to the
public interest’’ since the codification
only reflects existing law. Immediate

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
State choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely
approves State law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by State law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have
Tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On May 26, 2009, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Anchorages; New and Revised Anchorages in the Captain
of the Port Portland, OR, Area of Responsibility'' in the Federal
Register (74 FR 24718). We received one comment on the proposed rule.
There were no requests made for a public hearing regarding this rule
and none was held. No other documents have been published for this
rulemaking.
Background and Purpose
The establishment of a new anchorage, modification of existing
anchorages, and revision of the regulations governing anchorages
contained in this rule are necessary to ensure that there are
sufficient anchorage opportunities in the Captain of the Port Portland,
Oregon, area of responsibility, and ensure that the locations of those
opportunities are clear. In addition, the changes will help prevent
conflicts with navigable channels and other uses of anchorage waters.
Currently, there are insufficient anchorage opportunities in the
Captain of the Port Portland, Oregon, area of responsibility, and many
of them conflict with navigable channels and other uses of the
anchorage waters.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The one comment made about this proposed rule explained that the
changes being made are the result of a collaborative effort of the
members of the Lower Columbia Region Harbor Safety Committee and that
the Columbia River Bar Pilots fully support the rule as written. No
changes were made as a result of this comment.
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. The establishment of a new anchorage,
modification of existing anchorages, and revision of the regulations
governing anchorages do not have any significant costs associated with
them.
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 Captain of the Port Portland, Oregon, area
of responsibility. However, the establishment of a new anchorage,
modification of existing anchorages, and revision of the regulations
governing anchorages that result from this rule will have no economic
impact on small entities because anchorages can still be transited and
used for other maritime activities besides anchoring.
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.
[[Page 51781]]
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)(f), of the Instruction. This rule involves the establishment of a
new anchorage, modification of existing anchorages, and revision of
regulations governing anchorages in the Captain of the Port Portland,
Oregon, area of responsibility, which are categorically excluded under
section 2.B.2 Figure 2-1, paragraph 34(f), of the Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist and categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
