is necessary to help ensure the safety of
the maritime public during the air show
on July 4, 2010 and will do so by
prohibiting any person or vessel from
entering or remaining in the safety zone
unless authorized by the Captain of the

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 ensure
safety of participants and spectators in
the Tacoma Freedom Fair Air show.
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 participants and spectators in
the Tacoma Freedom Fair Air show.
Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is establishing this
temporary safety zone to help ensure the
safety of the maritime public during the
Tacoma Freedom Fair Air Show taking
place along Ruston Way in
Commencement Bay near Tacoma,
Washington. The safety zone is
necessary because of the numerous
potential hazards associated with air
show events.

Discussion of Rule
The temporary safety zone created by
this rule encompasses all waters within
the points 47°¥17.63′ N., 122°¥28.724′
W.; 47°¥17.059′ N., 122°¥27.538′ W.;
47°¥16.66′ N., 122°¥27.963′ W.; and
47°¥17.231′ N., 122°¥29.149′ W. The
zone resembles a rectangle measuring
approximately 2000 yards along the
shoreline of Ruston Way and extending
approximately 1100 yards into
Commencement Bay. Floating markers
will be placed by the sponsor of the
event to delineate the boundaries of the
safety zone. All persons and vessels are
prohibited from entering or remaining
in the safety zone unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound or
Designated Representative. The Captain
of the Port Puget Sound may be assisted
by other local, state, and Federal
agencies in the enforcement of this
safety zone.
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 rule is not a significant
regulatory action because it is minimal
in size and short in duration.
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 the affected
waterway during the time of
enforcement. This safety zone will not
E:\FR\FM\15JNR1.SGM
15JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 15, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons: It is minimal
in size, short in duration and vessel
traffic can pass safely around the zone.
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).
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES
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.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have

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.

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
involves a safety zone on the waters of
Commencement Bay in Tacoma,
Washington during the Tacoma
Freedom Fair Air Show.
An environmental analysis checklist
and a categorical exclusion
determination will be available in the
docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
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.

of the Administrative Procedure Act

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

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists, as it would be
impracticable to publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule, because the event
would occur before the rulemaking
process would be completed. Because of
the immediate dangers posed by the
pyrotechnics used in this fireworks
display, the safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of event
participants, spectators, spectator craft,
and other vessels transiting the event
area.
Background and Purpose
The Delta Independence Day
Foundation will sponsor a fireworks
display on July 04, 2010, 300 feet from
the North Eastern shoreline of
Mandeville Island, CA. The fireworks
display is meant for entertainment
purposes. This safety zone is issued to
establish a temporary restricted area
around the fireworks barge during the
loading of the pyrotechnics, during the
transit of the barge to the display
location, and during the fireworks
display. This restricted area around the
launch site is necessary to protect
spectators, vessels, and other property
from the hazards associated with the
pyrotechnics on the fireworks barge.
The Coast Guard has granted the event
PO 00000
Frm 00022

sponsor a marine event permit for the
fireworks display.
Discussion of Rule
This safety zone will apply to
navigable waters from the surface to the
sea floor in the San Joaquin River,
during loading of pyrotechnics onto the
fireworks barge at Dutra Corp Yard, Rio
Vista, CA, during transit to the launch
location and until the completion of the
fireworks display. The temporary safety
zone applies to the navigable waters
around and under the fireworks barge
during loading and transit within a
radius of 100 feet, from 10 a.m. on July
02, 2010 until 9:30 p.m. on July 4, 2010.
At 9:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. on July 04,
2010, the area to which the temporary
safety zone applies will increase in size
to encompass the navigable waters
around and under the barge within a
radius of 1,000 feet. The fireworks
launch site will be located
approximately 300 feet off the shore in
position 38°03′19.37″ N., 121°31′54.34″
W. (NAD 83).
The effect of the temporary safety
zone will be to restrict navigation in the
vicinity of the fireworks site while the
fireworks are loaded onto the barge,
while the barge in transiting to the
display location, and until the
conclusion of the scheduled display.
Except for persons or vessels authorized
by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander,
no person or vessel may enter or remain
in the restricted area. These regulations
are needed to keep spectators and
vessels a safe distance away from the
fireworks barge to ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and transiting
vessels.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.

Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that
Order.
Although this rule restricts access to
the waters encompassed by the safety
zone, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because of the small area and
short duration of the safety zone.

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.
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 involves a safety zone on the waters of
Commencement Bay in Tacoma, Washington during the Tacoma Freedom Fair
Air Show.
An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination will be available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
