SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CSX
Transportation has requested a
temporary deviation for their railroad
swing span bridge across the Blackwater
River, mile 2.80, in Milton, Florida. The
vertical clearance of the bridge in the
closed-to-navigation position is 5.5 feet
above mean sea level and 7.0 feet above
mean low water. Currently, according to
33 CFR 117.271, the draw of the CSX
Transportation Railroad bridge, mile 2.8
at Milton, shall open on signal; except
that, from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., the draw
shall open on signal if at least eight
hours notice is given. The deviation
period will be in effect from 7 a.m. on
November 5, 2009 until 5 p.m. on
November 6, 2009. During this time the
swing span bridge will be closed to
navigation for the center pivot bearing
of the swing span to be replaced. This
work is essential for the continued
operation of the draw span. Primary
users of this waterway are recreational
boaters. The Coast Guard will inform
these users through the Local Notice to
Mariners. There are no alternate routes
available and this bridge cannot be open
for emergencies.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular

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 protect
the safety of the crew, spectators, and
other vessels and users of the waterway
from the hazards associated with
fireworks displays.
For the same reasons, the Coast Guard
also finds under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) that
good cause exists for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Any
delay in the effective date of this rule
will expose mariners to the dangers
associated with the pyrotechnics used
in the fireworks display.
Background and Purpose
Fireworks & Stage FX America is
sponsoring the Catholic Church
Procession Fireworks Display, which
will include a fireworks presentation
from a wooden pier at the end of Grape
Street in San Diego Bay. The safety zone
will encompass the navigable waters
extending out 300 feet from the firing
site located at the end of the pier. This
temporary safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of the crew,
spectators, and other vessels and users
of the waterway.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
safety zone that will be enforced from
2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on October 19, 2009.
The safety zone will consist of a 300
foot radius around the end of Grape
Street Pier 2 in San Diego Bay.
The safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of the crews,
spectators, 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 200 / Monday, October 19, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
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 and
executive orders.
cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
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 impact of this rule to
be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation is unnecessary. This
determination is based on the location
and small size 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.
we offer to assist small entities in
understanding the rule so that they can
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).
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 San Diego Bay from 2 p.m.
to 4 p.m. on October 19, 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 for only two hours during the
afternoon when vessel traffic is low.
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 VHF 16 before
the temporary safety zone is enforced.
Federalism
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
Civil Justice Reform
VerDate Nov<24>2008
13:53 Oct 16, 2009
Jkt 220001
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.
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
PO 00000
Frm 00015

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.

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
protect the safety of the crew, spectators, and other vessels and users
of the waterway from the hazards associated with fireworks displays.
For the same reasons, the Coast Guard also finds under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3) that good cause exists for making this rule effective less
than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Any delay in
the effective date of this rule will expose mariners to the dangers
associated with the pyrotechnics used in the fireworks display.
Background and Purpose
Fireworks & Stage FX America is sponsoring the Catholic Church
Procession Fireworks Display, which will include a fireworks
presentation from a wooden pier at the end of Grape Street in San Diego
Bay. The safety zone will encompass the navigable waters extending out
300 feet from the firing site located at the end of the pier. This
temporary safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the
crew, spectators, and other vessels and users of the waterway.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone that will be enforced
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on October 19, 2009. The safety zone will consist
of a 300 foot radius around the end of Grape Street Pier 2 in San Diego
Bay.
The safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the
crews, spectators, 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.
[[Page 53411]]
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 and 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 impact of this rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This determination is based on
the location and small size 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.
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 San Diego Bay from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on
October 19, 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 for only two hours during the afternoon when
vessel traffic is low. 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 VHF 16 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), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can 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.
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 because the 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.
