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
delaying this rule would be contrary to
the public interest of ensuring the safety
of vessels during the construction, and
immediate action is necessary to
prevent possible loss of life and
property. The Coast Guard has not
received any complaints or negative
comments previously with regard to
events of this type and duration.
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. Delaying this rule would be
contrary to the public interest of
ensuring the safety of vessels during the
construction, and immediate action is
necessary to prevent possible loss of life
and property.
Basis and Purpose
This temporary safety zone is
necessary to ensure the safety of vessels
from hazards associated with
construction projects. Based on
accidents that have occurred in other
Captain of the Port zones and the
dangerous nature of large construction
projects, the Captain of the Port Detroit
has determined construction projects in
close proximity to watercraft pose
significant risk to public safety and
property. The likely combination of
large vessels, congested waterways, and
movement of large pieces of equipment
could easily result in serious injuries or
fatalities. Establishing a safety zone to
control vessel movement around the
location of the construction project will
help ensure the safety of persons and
property at these events and help
minimize the associated risks.
Discussion of Rule
A temporary safety zone is necessary
to ensure the safety of mariners and
construction personnel during the setup
and offloading of equipment in
conjunction with the Marathon Oil
Refinery Construction project. The
offloading of equipment will occur
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
27641
between 7 a.m. on May 1, 2010, and 7
p.m. on November 30, 2010.
Specifically, offloading operations will
occur between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily
on multiple dates, to be determined,
during the effective period of this
regulation. The public will be notified
of the specific enforcement dates as
soon as practicable through the
publication of a Notice of Enforcement
and by Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
The temporary safety zone will
encompass all waters of the Rouge
River, Detroit, MI, from the Dix Ave.
bridge to the north end of Fordson
Island, bound by a line starting from a
point on land on the south shore of the
Rouge River at position 42°17.8′ N;
083°9.1′ W, continuing southeast to a
point on land at position 42°17.7′ N;
083°9.0′ W, across to the north side of
the river to a point on land at position
42°17.8′ N; 083°8.9′ W, along the shore
northwest to a point on land at position
42°17.8′ N; 083°9.0′ W, continuing back
southwest to the point of origin. All
geographic coordinates are North
American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port or the designated on
scene patrol personnel. Entry into,
transiting, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Detroit or his designated on scene
representative. The Captain of the Port
or his designated on scene
representative may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16.
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 regulation will restrict
access to the area, the effect of the rule
will not be significant because: The
minimal time that vessels will be
restricted from the zone and the zone is
an area where the Coast Guard expects
insignificant adverse impact to mariners
from the zone’s activation.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 18, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
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 and operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
a portion of the Rouge River near
Detroit, MI between 7 a.m. on May 1,
2010 and 7 p.m. on November 30, 2010.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: This rule will
only be enforced for 12 hours on each
of the days during the effective dates of
this temporary final rule. The Coast
Guard will give notice to the public via
a Broadcast Notice to Mariners that the
regulation is in effect.
hsrobinson on DSK69SOYB1PROD with RULES
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.
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 expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
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.
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 because it
involves the establishment of a
temporary safety zone to protect the
public from construction operations. An
environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
Collection of Information
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.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165
This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On January 15, 2009, the EPA (‘‘we’’)
issued a final rule amending the PSD
and nonattainment NSR regulations that
implement the definition of
‘‘modification’’ in Clean Air Act section
111(a)(4). The amendments addressed
when a source must combine
(‘‘aggregate’’) nominally-separate
physical changes and changes in the
method of operation for the purpose of
determining whether they are a single
change under NSR and result in a
significant emissions increase. The
amendments retained the existing rule
language for aggregation but interpreted
that rule text to mean that sources and
permitting authorities should combine
emissions when activities are
‘‘substantially related.’’ It also adopted a
rebuttable presumption that activities at
a plant can be presumed not to be
substantially related if they occur 3 or
more years apart. Collectively, this
rulemaking is known as the ‘‘NSR
Aggregation Amendments.’’ For further
information on the NSR Aggregation
Amendments, see 74 FR 2376 (January
15, 2009).
The NSR Aggregation Amendments
have had their effectiveness delayed by
two actions published in the Federal
Register. See 74 FR 7284 (February 13,
2009) and 74 FR 22693 (May 14, 2009).

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)

to the public interest of ensuring the safety of vessels during the
construction, and immediate action is necessary to prevent possible
loss of life and property. The Coast Guard has not received any
complaints or negative comments previously with regard to events of
this type and duration.
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. Delaying this rule would be
contrary to the public interest of ensuring the safety of vessels
during the construction, and immediate action is necessary to prevent
possible loss of life and property.
Basis and Purpose
This temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels from hazards associated with construction projects. Based on

of large pieces of equipment could easily result in serious injuries or
fatalities. Establishing a safety zone to control vessel movement
around the location of the construction project will help ensure the
safety of persons and property at these events and help minimize the
associated risks.
Discussion of Rule
A temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
mariners and construction personnel during the setup and offloading of
equipment in conjunction with the Marathon Oil Refinery Construction
project. The offloading of equipment will occur between 7 a.m. on May
1, 2010, and 7 p.m. on November 30, 2010. Specifically, offloading
operations will occur between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily on multiple
dates, to be determined, during the effective period of this
regulation. The public will be notified of the specific enforcement
dates as soon as practicable through the publication of a Notice of
Enforcement and by Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
The temporary safety zone will encompass all waters of the Rouge
River, Detroit, MI, from the Dix Ave. bridge to the north end of
Fordson Island, bound by a line starting from a point on land on the
south shore of the Rouge River at position 42[deg]17.8' N; 083[deg]9.1'
W, continuing southeast to a point on land at position 42[deg]17.7' N;
083[deg]9.0' W, across to the north side of the river to a point on
land at position 42[deg]17.8' N; 083[deg]8.9' W, along the shore
northwest to a point on land at position 42[deg]17.8' N; 083[deg]9.0'
W, continuing back southwest to the point of origin. All geographic
coordinates are North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the designated on scene patrol
personnel. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone
is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Detroit or
his designated on scene representative. The Captain of the Port or his

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 regulation will restrict access to the area, the
effect of the rule will not be significant because: The minimal time
that vessels will be restricted from the zone and the zone is an area
where the Coast Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners
from the zone's activation.

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 and operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in a portion of the Rouge River near Detroit, MI
between 7 a.m. on May 1, 2010 and 7 p.m. on November 30, 2010.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will only be enforced for 12 hours on each of the days during the
effective dates of this temporary final rule. The Coast Guard will give
notice to the public via a Broadcast Notice to Mariners that the
regulation is in effect.
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 expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.
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 because it involves the establishment of a temporary
safety zone to protect the public from construction operations. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
