Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The U.S. Coast Guard is
establishing temporary moving security
zones surrounding the HMCS
NANAIMO (NCSM 702), HMCS
EDMONTON (NCSM 703), and the
HMCS BRANDON (NCSM 710) which
include all waters within 100 yards
from the vessels while underway in the
Puget Sound Captain of the Port (COTP)
Area of Responsibility (AOR). These
security zones are necessary to help
ensure the security of the vessels from
sabotage or other subversive acts during
Seafair Fleet Week and will do so by
prohibiting any person or vessel from
entering or remaining in the security
zones unless authorized by the COTP,
Puget Sound or Designated
Representative.

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
publishing an NPRM would be
impracticable due to the inherent
compromise to security resulting from
advertising in advance locations of
naval vessels, both foreign and
domestic.
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 because immediate action is
necessary to ensure security of visiting
foreign vessels in the 2010 Seattle
Seafair Fleet Week event.
Basis and Purpose
Seattle’s Seafair Fleet Week is an
annual event which brings a variety of
foreign military vessels to Seattle. The
event draws large crowds and a number
of vessels that are under inherent
security risks due to their military
functions. This rule is necessary to
ensure the security of visiting foreign
military vessels not covered under the
Naval Vessel Protection Zone (NVPZ),
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4700

and provides similar security measures
while these vessels are transiting Puget
Sound.
Discussion of Rule
The temporary security zones
established by this rule will prohibit
any person or vessel from entering or
remaining within 100 yards of the
HMCS NANAIMO (NCSM 702), HMCS
EDMONTON (NCSM 703), and the
HMCS BRANDON (NCSM 710) while
underway in the Puget Sound COTP
AOR unless authorized by the COTP,
Puget Sound, or Designated
Representative. The security zones will
be enforced by Coast Guard personnel.
The COTP may also be assisted in the
enforcement of the zones by other
federal, state, or local agencies.
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.
The Coast Guard bases this finding on
the fact that the security zones will be
in place for a limited period of time and
vessel traffic will be able to transit
around the security zones. Maritime
traffic may also request permission to
transit through the zones from the
COTP, Puget Sound or 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 rule will affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities; the owners and operators of
E:\FR\FM\02AUR1.SGM

45056
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 147 / Monday, August 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
vessels intending to operate in the
waters covered by the security zones
while they are in effect. The rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities, however, because the security
zones will be in place for a limited
period of time and maritime traffic will
still be able to transit around the
security zones. Maritime traffic may also
request permission to transit though the
zones from the COTP, Puget Sound or
Designated Representative.
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.
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.
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.
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).
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD 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

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
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
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
security zones. An environmental
analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion will be available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 8, 2008, New York State
submitted reasonable further progress
and attainment demonstration state
implementation plans to EPA for its
portion of the New York-Northern New
Jersey-Long Island, NY–NJ–CT and
Poughkeepsie, New York, 8-hour ozone

New York State submittal was to
demonstrate both of the areas progress
toward attaining the 8-hour ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standard.
The submittal included motor vehicle
emissions budgets (‘‘budgets’’) for 2008
and 2009 for the Poughkeepsie 8-hour
ozone nonattainment area and 2008
budgets for the New York portion of the
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long

determinations. On June 12, 2008, and
June 2, 2008, respectively, the
availability of the New York portion of
the New York-Northern New JerseyLong Island, NY–NJ–CT 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area and the
Poughkeepsie, New York 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area transportation
conformity budgets were posted on
EPA’s Web site for the purpose of
soliciting public comments. The
adequacy public comment period closed
for the New York portion of the New
York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island,
NY–NJ–CT area budgets on July 14,
2008, and EPA received no public
comments. The public comment period
closed for the Poughkeepsie, New York
area budgets on July 2, 2008. EPA’s
response to comments received during
this period is posted on the EPA
adequacy Web site listed below. Today’s
notice is simply an announcement of a
finding that EPA has already made. EPA
Region 2 sent a letter to New York State
Department of Environmental
Conservation on June 21, 2010. The
findings letter states that the 2008 motor
vehicle emissions budgets in New
York’s SIP submissions for both the
New York portion of the New YorkNorthern New Jersey-Long Island, NY–
NJ–CT and Poughkeepsie, New York 8hour ozone nonattainment areas are
adequate because they are consistent
with the required rate of progress plan.
With regard to the 2009 motor vehicle
emissions budgets, the findings letter
states that for the Poughkeepsie, New
York 8-hour ozone nonattainment area,
these budgets are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes
because they are consistent with the
plan’s demonstration of attainment.
EPA’s finding will also be announced
on EPA’s conformity Web site: https://
www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/
transconf/adequacy.htm.
For informational purposes, EPA
notes that on April 4, 2008, New York
submitted to EPA a request for a
voluntary reclassification of the New
York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island,
NY–NJ–CT 8-hour ozone nonattainment
area from ‘‘moderate’’ to ‘‘serious’’
pursuant to section 181(b)(3) of the Act.
Related to this request, New York
provided EPA with 2011 and 2012
motor vehicle emissions budgets. EPA is
continuing to review New York’s
request for a voluntary reclassification
of the New York-Northern New JerseyLong Island, NY–NJ–CT 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area and therefore is not
taking action on the 2011 or 2012
budgets at this time. EPA would take
action on these budgets at the same time

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

cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because publishing an NPRM would be
impracticable due to the inherent compromise to security resulting from
advertising in advance locations of naval vessels, both foreign and
domestic.
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 because immediate action is
necessary to ensure security of visiting foreign vessels in the 2010
Seattle Seafair Fleet Week event.
Basis and Purpose
Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week is an annual event which brings a
variety of foreign military vessels to Seattle. The event draws large

due to their military functions. This rule is necessary to ensure the
security of visiting foreign military vessels not covered under the
Naval Vessel Protection Zone (NVPZ), and provides similar security
measures while these vessels are transiting Puget Sound.
Discussion of Rule
The temporary security zones established by this rule will prohibit
any person or vessel from entering or remaining within 100 yards of the
HMCS NANAIMO (NCSM 702), HMCS EDMONTON (NCSM 703), and the HMCS BRANDON
(NCSM 710) while underway in the Puget Sound COTP AOR unless authorized
by the COTP, Puget Sound, or Designated Representative. The security
zones will be enforced by Coast Guard personnel. The COTP may also be
assisted in the enforcement of the zones by other federal, state, or
local agencies.
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.
The Coast Guard bases this finding on the fact that the security
zones will be in place for a limited period of time and vessel traffic
will be able to transit around the security zones. Maritime traffic may
also request permission to transit through the zones from the COTP,
Puget Sound or 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 rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities; the owners and operators of
[[Page 45056]]
vessels intending to operate in the waters covered by the security
zones while they are in effect. The rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, however,
because the security zones will be in place for a limited period of
time and maritime traffic will still be able to transit around the
security zones. Maritime traffic may also request permission to transit
though the zones from the COTP, Puget Sound 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.
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
security zones. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion will be available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
