Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 12, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
adds claims for persistent effectiveness
against various species of external and
internal parasites that were approved for
the pioneer product with 3 years of
marketing exclusivity (69 FR 501,
January 6, 2004). The supplemental
ANADA is approved as of March 26,
2010, and 21 CFR 524.1193 is amended
to reflect the approval.
In addition, FDA has noticed the
regulations do not accurately reflect
approved indications for generic
products. At this time, the regulations
are being revised to reflect which
generic products have approved labeling
for the durations of persistent
effectiveness approved for the pioneer
product. FDA is also adding a parasite
species that was inadvertently omitted
in the previously cited January 6, 2004,
final rule. These actions are being taken
to improve the accuracy of the
regulations.
In accordance with the freedom of
information provisions of 21 CFR part
20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a
summary of safety and effectiveness
data and information submitted to
support approval of this application
may be seen in the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm.
1061, Rockville, MD 20852, between 9
a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through
Friday.
The agency has determined under 21
CFR 25.33 that this action is of a type
that does not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. Therefore,
neither an environmental assessment
nor an environmental impact statement
is required.
This rule does not meet the definition
of ‘‘rule’’ in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because
it is a rule of ‘‘particular applicability.’’
Therefore, it is not subject to the
congressional review requirements in 5
U.S.C. 801–808.

these zones is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port,
Puget Sound or Designated
Representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from 12:01

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 it is
contrary to public interest to delay the
effective date of this rule. Delaying the
effective date by first publishing an
NPRM would be contrary to the safety
zone’s intended objectives since
E:\FR\FM\12MYR1.SGM
12MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 12, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
immediate action is needed to protect
persons and vessels against the hazards
associated with fireworks displays on
navigable waters. Such hazards include
premature detonations, dangerous
projectiles and falling or burning debris.
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. Due to the need for immediate
action, the restriction of vessel traffic is
necessary to protect life, property and
the environment; therefore, a 30-day
notice is impracticable. Delaying the
effective date would be contrary to the
safety zone’s intended objectives of
protecting persons and vessels involved
in the event, and enhancing public and
maritime safety.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Basis and Purpose
Fireworks displays are frequently
held from locations on or near the
navigable waters of the United States.
The potential hazards associated with
fireworks displays are a safety concern
during such events. The purpose of this
rule is to promote public and maritime
safety during fireworks displays, and to
protect mariners transiting the area from
the potential hazards associated with
the fireworks displays, such as the
accidental discharge of fireworks,
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot
embers or other debris. This rule is
needed to ensure safety on the waterway
during the scheduled events.
This rule will restrict access to the
specified waters surrounding the
fireworks events indicated in the
temporary final rule. The restriction of
vessel traffic is necessary to protect life,
property and the environment.
Discussion of Rule
The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing
temporary safety zones to allow for safe
fireworks displays. A safety zone for the
Viking Fest will be enforced from 6:30
p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on May 14, 2010 at
47°43′55″ N, 122°39′08″ W (NAD 83)
extending to a 1000 foot radius from the
launch site. A safety zone for a Private
Party fireworks display North of
Meadow Point in Central Puget Sound
will be enforced from 8:30 p.m. until 11
p.m. on May 22, 2010 at 47°43′42″ N,
122°24′26″ W (NAD 83) extending to a
1500 foot radius from the launch site.
These safety zones do not extend onto
land.
These events may result in a number
of vessels congregating near fireworks
launching barges. These safety zones are
needed to protect watercraft and their
occupants from safety hazards
associated with fireworks displays. The
Captain of the Port, Puget Sound may be
VerDate Mar<15>2010
12:59 May 11, 2010
Jkt 220001
assisted by other federal and local
agencies in the enforcement of these
safety zones. Vessels will be allowed to
transit the waters of the Puget Sound
outside the safety zones. Notification of
the temporary safety zones will be
provided to the public via marine
information broadcasts.
Entry into these zones by all vessel
operators or persons will be prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port or Designated Representative. The
Captain of the Port may be assisted by
other federal, state, or local agencies as
needed.
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. Although this rule will restrict
access to the areas, the effect of this rule
will not be significant because: (1) The
safety zones will be in effect for a
limited duration of time, (ii) the safety
zones are limited in size, and (iii)
vessels may be granted permission to
transit the area by the Captain of the
Port or a 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 temporary rule will affect the
following entities, some of which may
be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit
the specified waters of Puget Sound
while this rule is enforced. These safety
zones will not have significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
26649
following reasons. This temporary rule
will be in effect for short periods of
time, when vessel traffic volume is low
and is comprised of mostly small
pleasure craft. If safe to do so, traffic
will be allowed to pass through these
safety zones with the permission of the
Captain of the Port or Designated
Representative.
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 (adjusted for inflation) 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.

12MYR1
26650
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 12, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
Taking of Private Property
This rule will 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 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.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
12:59 May 11, 2010
Jkt 220001
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 that 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
establishes temporary safety zones to
protect the public from dangers
associated with fireworks displays.
An environmental analysis checklist
and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the
docket where indicated under

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 it is contrary to public interest to
delay the effective date of this rule. Delaying the effective date by
first publishing an NPRM would be contrary to the safety zone's
intended objectives since
[[Page 26649]]
immediate action is needed to protect persons and vessels against the
hazards associated with fireworks displays on navigable waters. Such
hazards include premature detonations, dangerous projectiles and
falling or burning debris.
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. Due to the need for immediate
action, the restriction of vessel traffic is necessary to protect life,
property and the environment; therefore, a 30-day notice is
impracticable. Delaying the effective date would be contrary to the
safety zone's intended objectives of protecting persons and vessels
involved in the event, and enhancing public and maritime safety.
Basis and Purpose
Fireworks displays are frequently held from locations on or near
the navigable waters of the United States. The potential hazards
associated with fireworks displays are a safety concern during such
events. The purpose of this rule is to promote public and maritime
safety during fireworks displays, and to protect mariners transiting
the area from the potential hazards associated with the fireworks
displays, such as the accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous
projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris. This rule is
needed to ensure safety on the waterway during the scheduled events.
This rule will restrict access to the specified waters surrounding
the fireworks events indicated in the temporary final rule. The
restriction of vessel traffic is necessary to protect life, property
and the environment.
Discussion of Rule
The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing temporary safety zones to
allow for safe fireworks displays. A safety zone for the Viking Fest
will be enforced from 6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on May 14, 2010 at
47[deg]43[min]55[sec] N, 122[deg]39[min]08[sec] W (NAD 83) extending to
a 1000 foot radius from the launch site. A safety zone for a Private
Party fireworks display North of Meadow Point in Central Puget Sound
will be enforced from 8:30 p.m. until 11 p.m. on May 22, 2010 at
47[deg]43[min]42[sec] N, 122[deg]24[min]26[sec] W (NAD 83) extending to
a 1500 foot radius from the launch site. These safety zones do not
extend onto land.
These events may result in a number of vessels congregating near
fireworks launching barges. These safety zones are needed to protect
watercraft and their occupants from safety hazards associated with
fireworks displays. The Captain of the Port, Puget Sound may be
assisted by other federal and local agencies in the enforcement of
these safety zones. Vessels will be allowed to transit the waters of
the Puget Sound outside the safety zones. Notification of the temporary
safety zones will be provided to the public via marine information
broadcasts.
Entry into these zones by all vessel operators or persons will be
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or Designated
Representative. The Captain of the Port may be assisted by other
federal, state, or local agencies as needed.
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. Although this rule will restrict access
to the areas, the effect of this rule will not be significant because:
(1) The safety zones will be in effect for a limited duration of time,
(ii) the safety zones are limited in size, and (iii) vessels may be
granted permission to transit the area by the Captain of the Port or a
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 temporary rule will affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit the specified waters of Puget Sound while this
rule is enforced. These safety zones will not have significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following
reasons. This temporary rule will be in effect for short periods of
time, when vessel traffic volume is low and is comprised of mostly
small pleasure craft. If safe to do so, traffic will be allowed to pass
through these safety zones with the permission of the Captain of the
Port or Designated Representative.
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 (adjusted for
inflation) 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.
[[Page 26650]]
Taking of Private Property
This rule will 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 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 that 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 establishes temporary safety zones to
protect the public from dangers associated with fireworks displays.
An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
