SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:09 Jul 01, 2010
Jkt 220001
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 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 the 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 objective since
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
detonations, dangerous projectiles and
falling or burning debris. Additionally,
the zone should have negligible impact
on vessel transits due to the fact that
vessels will be limited from the area for
a short time and vessels can still transit
in the majority of Puget Sound during
the event. Accordingly, under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing an
NPRM.
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
The U.S. Coast Guard is proposing to
establish three temporary safety zones to
ensure public safety during firework
shows occurring within the Captain of
the Port, Puget Sound AOR. These
events may result in a number of vessels
congregating near fireworks launching
barges and sites. These safety zones are
necessary to protect watercraft and their
occupants from the hazards associated
with fireworks displays. The Captain of
the Port, Puget Sound may be assisted
by other Federal, State and local
PO 00000

agencies in the enforcement of this
safety zone.
Due to the inherent dangers
associated with such displays, the Coast
Guard is taking this action to help
protect the maritime public by
prohibiting entry into, transit through,
or mooring within the safety zones
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port or his Designated Representative.
This temporary final rule is necessary to
protect the safety of life and property on
navigable waters during these firework
events and provide the marine
community information on safety zone
locations, size and length of time the
zones will be active.
Discussion of Rule
This rule establishes three safety
zones for the following firework
displays: The first will encompass
waters of Boston Harbor within a 200
yard radius around position 47°08.5′ N,
122°54.2′ W and will be enforced from
5 p.m. on July 3, 2010 until 1 a.m. on
July 4, 2010; the second will encompass
waters of Boston Harbor within a 200
yard radius around position 47°08.5′ N,
122°54.2′ W and will be enforced from
5 p.m. on July 24, 2010 until 1 a.m. on
July 25, 2010; and the third will
encompass waters near Stuart Island
within a 700 yard radius around
position 48°37.5′ N, 121°12.0′ W and
will be enforced from 5 p.m. on August
6, 2010 until 1 a.m. on August 7, 2010.
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 area, the effect of the rule
will not be significant because it creates
safety zones that are 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
E:\FR\FM\02JYR1.SGM
02JYR1

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 127 / Friday, July 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
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 through the
affected waterways during the times of
enforcement. This rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
because it creates safety zones that are
minimal in size and short in duration.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:09 Jul 01, 2010
Jkt 220001
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 the establishment of temporary
safety zones. An environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination will be available in the
docket where indicated under

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause

The U.S. Coast Guard is proposing to establish three temporary
safety zones to ensure public safety during firework shows occurring
within the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound AOR. These events may
result in a number of vessels congregating near fireworks launching
barges and sites. These safety zones are necessary to protect
watercraft and their occupants from the hazards associated with

of this safety zone.
Due to the inherent dangers associated with such displays, the
Coast Guard is taking this action to help protect the maritime public
by prohibiting entry into, transit through, or mooring within the
safety zones unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
Designated Representative. This temporary final rule is necessary to
protect the safety of life and property on navigable waters during
these firework events and provide the marine community information on
safety zone locations, size and length of time the zones will be
active.
Discussion of Rule
This rule establishes three safety zones for the following firework
displays: The first will encompass waters of Boston Harbor within a 200
yard radius around position 47[deg]08.5' N, 122[deg]54.2' W and will be
enforced from 5 p.m. on July 3, 2010 until 1 a.m. on July 4, 2010; the
second will encompass waters of Boston Harbor within a 200 yard radius
around position 47[deg]08.5' N, 122[deg]54.2' W and will be enforced
from 5 p.m. on July 24, 2010 until 1 a.m. on July 25, 2010; and the
third will encompass waters near Stuart Island within a 700 yard radius
around position 48[deg]37.5' N, 121[deg]12.0' W and will be enforced
from 5 p.m. on August 6, 2010 until 1 a.m. on August 7, 2010.

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 area, the effect of the rule will not be significant because it
creates safety zones that are 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
[[Page 38416]]
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 through the affected waterways during the times of enforcement.
This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities because it creates safety zones that are
minimal in size and short in duration.
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.
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 the establishment of temporary
safety zones. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination will be available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
