Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 9, 2010 / Rules and Regulations Energy Effects List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100 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. Marine Safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and Recordkeeping requirements, Waterways. ■ For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33 CFR Part 100 as follows: 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. erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES 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 that 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)(h) of the Instruction, because it involves the establishment of a special local regulation for a marine event in which an environmental analysis was conducted as part of the permit process for the marine event. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

Gary Kassof, Bridge Program Manager, First Coast Guard District. On April 14, 2010, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled Safety Zone; Milwaukee Air and Water Show, Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the Federal Register (75 FR 19307). The Coast Guard received 0 comments on this proposed rule. No public meeting was requested and none was held. 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 spectators and vessels during this operation and immediate action is necessary to prevent possible loss of life or property from the dangers that are associated with a large scale air show and a fireworks display.

Temporary final rule. AGENCY: erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES ACTION: SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone on Lake Michigan near Bradford Beach in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This zone is intended to restrict vessels from a portion of Lake Michigan due to a largescale air show and a fireworks display. This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect the surrounding public and their vessels from the hazards associated with a large-scale air show and fireworks display. DATES: This regulation is effective from 12:01 a.m. on June 10, 2010 until 11:59 p.m. on June 13, 2010. ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:39 Jun 08, 2010 Jkt 220001 Regulatory Information Basis and Purpose This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect vessels from the hazards associated with the Milwaukee Air and Water show. The Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, has determined that the Milwaukee Air and Water show does pose significant risks to public safety and property. The likely combination of congested waterways and a large scale air show and a fireworks display could easily result in serious injuries or fatalities. Discussion of Comments and Changes No comments were received concerning this event. PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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. This is not a significant regulatory action because the safety zone will be in effect for a minimal amount of time. Additionally, the zone is an area where the Coast Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners from the zones’ activation and vessels may still transit the area with the permission of the Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her designated onscene 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 rule will affect the following entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in a portion of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee, WI between 12:01 p.m. on June 10, 2010 and 11:59 p.m. on June 13, 2010. This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This safety zone will be in effect for only a few days and enforced for only a few hours. In the event that this temporary safety zone affects shipping, commercial vessels may request permission from the Captain of The Port, Sector Lake Michigan, to transit through the safety zone. The Coast Guard will give notice to the public via a Broadcast to Mariners that the regulation is in effect. E:\FR\FM\09JNR1.SGM 09JNR1
