We have analyzed this proposed rule

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

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 proposed rule would not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.

Background and Purpose
On June 4, 5, and 6, 2010 Ocean City,
Maryland will host an air show event on
the Atlantic Ocean between Talbot
Street and 33rd Street in Ocean City,
MD. In recent years, there have been
unfortunate instances of jets and planes
crashing during performances at air
shows. Along with the jet or plane
crash, there is typically a wide area of
scattered debris that also damages
property and could cause significant
injury or death to mariners observing
the air shows. Due to the need to protect
mariners and the public transiting the
Atlantic Ocean immediately below the
air show from hazards associated with
the air show, the Coast Guard proposes
establishing a temporary safety zone,
restricting access to the area for public
safety purposes.

Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes
establishing a temporary safety zone on
specified waters of the Atlantic Ocean
bound by the following coordinates:
38°–21′–38″ N / 075°–04′–04″ W, 38°–
21′–27″ N / 075°–03′–29″ W, 38°–19′–
35″ N / 075°–04′–19″ W, 38°–19’–45″ N
/ 075°–04′–54″ W (NAD 1983), in the
vicinity of Ocean City, Maryland. The
safety zone forms a box, beginning 500
feet seaward from the shoreline out
2000 feet and extends 6000 feet from
Talbot St. to 33rd St. The NE corner, SE
corner, NW corner, and SW corner will
be marked with buoys in accordance
with (IAW) Coast Guard District 5. This
safety zone is proposed in the interest
of public safety during the Ocean City
Air Show and will be enforced daily
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 4, 5, and
6, 2010. Access to the safety zone will
be restricted during the specified date
and times. Except for vessels authorized
by the Captain of the Port or his
Representative, no person or vessel may
enter or remain in the safety zone.
The Coast Guard expects the
temporary final rule will be effective
less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register because delaying the
effective date would be contrary to the
public interest due to the need to
protect the public from the dangers
associated with air shows.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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 proposed 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. Although this proposed
regulation restricts access to the safety
zone, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because: (i) The safety zone
will be in effect for a limited duration;
(ii) the zone is of limited size; and (iii)
the Coast Guard will make notifications
via maritime advisories so mariners can
adjust their plans accordingly.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
E:\FR\FM\13APP1.SGM
13APP1
18780
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 13, 2010 / Proposed Rules
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 proposed rule
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This proposed rule would affect
the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor on the Atlantic Ocean in the
vicinity of Ocean City, MD from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. on June 4 through June 6,
2010.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: (i) The safety
zone will only be in place for a limited
duration. (ii) Before the effective period
of June 4, 2010 to June 6, 2010, maritime
advisories will be issued allowing
mariners to adjust their plans
accordingly.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with PROPOSALS_PART 1
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 proposed 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 Tiffany
Duffy, Chief Waterways Management
Division, Sector Hampton Roads, Coast
Guard; telephone 757–668–5580, e-mail
Tiffany.A.Duffy@uscg.mil. The Coast
Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about
this proposed rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).

Federalism
Energy Effects
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 proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
We have analyzed this proposed 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.
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 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this
proposed rule would not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not cause 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 proposed 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 proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically
significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that might disproportionately
affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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.

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 proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination
that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. Therefore, this
rule is categorically excluded under
section 2.B.2. Figure 2–1, paragraph
34(g), of the Instruction and neither an
environmental assessment nor an
environmental impact statement is
required. A preliminary environmental
analysis checklist supporting this
determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES. This
proposed rule involves a temporary

Federal agencies and departments to the
extent that it does not impose an undue
burden. The Board’s section 508
standards, which were originally
published in 2000 and are part of the
Federal government’s procurement
regulations, provide technical and
functional performance criteria for
technologies covered by the law.
Section 508 requires the Board to
periodically review and amend the
standards to reflect technological
advances or changes in electronic and
information technology.
The Board is updating its
Telecommunications Act Accessibility
Guidelines jointly with its refresh of the
section 508 standards to harmonize both
documents and to facilitate compliance.
Section 255 of the Telecommunications
Act requires telecommunications
equipment and customer premises
equipment to be accessible to and
usable by individuals with disabilities
when it is readily achievable to do so.

Background and Purpose
On June 4, 5, and 6, 2010 Ocean City, Maryland will host an air
show event on the Atlantic Ocean between Talbot Street and 33rd Street
in Ocean City, MD. In recent years, there have been unfortunate
instances of jets and planes crashing during performances at air shows.
Along with the jet or plane crash, there is typically a wide area of
scattered debris that also damages property and could cause significant
injury or death to mariners observing the air shows. Due to the need to
protect mariners and the public transiting the Atlantic Ocean
immediately below the air show from hazards associated with the air
show, the Coast Guard proposes establishing a temporary safety zone,
restricting access to the area for public safety purposes.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes establishing a temporary safety zone on
specified waters of the Atlantic Ocean bound by the following
coordinates: 38[deg]-21'-38'' N / 075[deg]-04'-04'' W, 38[deg]-21'-27''
N / 075[deg]-03'-29'' W, 38[deg]-19'-35'' N / 075[deg]-04'-19'' W,
38[deg]-19'-45'' N / 075[deg]-04'-54'' W (NAD 1983), in the vicinity of
Ocean City, Maryland. The safety zone forms a box, beginning 500 feet
seaward from the shoreline out 2000 feet and extends 6000 feet from
Talbot St. to 33rd St. The NE corner, SE corner, NW corner, and SW
corner will be marked with buoys in accordance with (IAW) Coast Guard
District 5. This safety zone is proposed in the interest of public
safety during the Ocean City Air Show and will be enforced daily from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 4, 5, and 6, 2010. Access to the safety zone
will be restricted during the specified date and times. Except for
vessels authorized by the Captain of the Port or his Representative, no
person or vessel may enter or remain in the safety zone.
The Coast Guard expects the temporary final rule will be effective
less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register because
delaying the effective date would be contrary to the public interest
due to the need to protect the public from the dangers associated with
air shows.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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 proposed 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. Although this proposed
regulation restricts access to the safety zone, the effect of this rule
will not be significant because: (i) The safety zone will be in effect
for a limited duration; (ii) the zone is of limited size; and (iii) the
Coast Guard will make notifications via maritime advisories so mariners
can adjust their plans accordingly.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
[[Page 18780]]
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 proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This proposed rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor on the Atlantic
Ocean in the vicinity of Ocean City, MD from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June
4 through June 6, 2010.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: (i) The
safety zone will only be in place for a limited duration. (ii) Before
the effective period of June 4, 2010 to June 6, 2010, maritime
advisories will be issued allowing mariners to adjust their plans
accordingly.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
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 proposed 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 Tiffany Duffy, Chief
Waterways Management Division, Sector Hampton Roads, Coast Guard;
telephone 757-668-5580, e-mail Tiffany.A.Duffy@uscg.mil. The Coast
Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or
complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast
Guard.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call 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 proposed 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 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not cause 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 proposed 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 proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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
made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category
of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. Therefore, this rule is categorically
excluded under section 2.B.2. Figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g), of the
Instruction and neither an environmental assessment nor an
environmental impact statement is required. A preliminary environmental
analysis checklist supporting this determination is available in the
docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. This proposed rule involves a
temporary safety zone to protect the public from
[[Page 18781]]
the dangers associated with air show activities. We seek any comments
or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.
