Consumer Price Index Adjustments of
Oil Pollution Act of 1990 Limits of
Liability—Vessels and Deepwater
Ports
Coast Guard, DHS.
Rule; information collection
approval.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
On July 1, 2009, the Coast
Guard amended the Oil Pollution Act of
1990 limits of liability for vessels and
deepwater ports to reflect significant
increases in the Consumer Price Index.
The amendment triggered information
collection requirements affecting vessel
operators required to establish evidence
of financial responsibility. This notice
announces that the collection of
information has been approved by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and may now be enforced. The
OMB Control Number is 1625–0046.
DATES: The collection of information
requirement under 33 CFR 138.85 will
be enforced from August 13, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have questions on this document

On July 1,
2009, the Coast Guard published an
interim rule entitled ‘‘Consumer Price
Index Adjustments of Oil Pollution Act
of 1990 Limits of Liability—Vessels and
Deepwater Ports’’ (74 FR 31357) (CPI
interim rule). This interim rule
amended the Oil Pollution Act of 1990
limits of liability for vessels and
deepwater ports under 33 CFR part 138
subpart B to reflect significant increases
in the Consumer Price Index as required
by 33 U.S.C. 2704(d)(4). These limit of
liability amendments triggered
information collection requirements
under 33 CFR 138.85. This provision
requires operators of vessels to establish
evidence of financial responsibility
under OPA 90, 33 U.S.C. 2716,
acceptable to the Director, National
Pollution Funds Center, in an amount
equal to or greater than the total
applicable amounts determined under
33 CFR 138.80(f). The total applicable
amounts are, in turn, determined by
reference to the limits of liability in 33
CFR part 138, subpart B. On January 6,
2010, the Coast Guard published a final
rule adopting the interim rule without
change (75 FR 750).
With the exception of this collection
of information, the CPI interim rule
limit of liability amendments became
effective on July 31, 2009. As required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the preambles to
the interim rule and the final rule stated
that the Coast Guard would not enforce
the collection of information
requirements occurring under 33 CFR
138.85 until the collection of
information request was approved by
OMB, and also stated that the Coast
Guard would publish a notice in the
Federal Register announcing that OMB
approved and assigned a control
number for the requirement.
The Coast Guard submitted the
information collection request to OMB
for approval in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. On
June 18, 2010, OMB approved the
collection of information and assigned
the collection OMB Control Number
1625–0046 entitled ‘‘Financial
Responsibility for Water Pollution
(Vessels).’’ The approval for this
collection of information expires on July
31, 2012. A copy of the OMB notice of
action is available in our online docket
at https://www.regulations.gov.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:00 Aug 12, 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 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 the
Coast Guard did not receive notification
of the specific location or planned dates
for the events in sufficient time to issue
a NPRM without delaying this
rulemaking. Delaying the effective date
by first publishing a NPRM and holding
a comment period would be contrary to
the rule’s objectives of ensuring safety of
life on the navigable waters during these
scheduled events as immediate action is
needed to protect persons and vessels
from the hazards associated with
participation in these marine events.
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. In addition to the reasons
stated above, this rule is intended to
ensure the safety of the event
participants, spectators and other
waterway users thus any delay in the
rule’s effective date would be
impractical.
Basis and Purpose
This temporary rule is necessary to
ensure the safety of vessels and
spectators from hazards associated with
fireworks events. The Captain of the
Port Boston has determined that
fireworks events in close proximity to
watercraft and waterfront structures
pose a significant risk to public safety
and property. Such hazards include
obstructions to the waterway that may
cause marine casualties and the
explosive danger of fireworks and debris
falling into the water that may cause
death or serious bodily harm.
Establishing a safety zone around the
location of these fireworks events will
help ensure the safety of persons and
property and help minimize the
associated risks.
The Coast Guard has ordered safety
zones for these past events and has not
received public comments or concerns
regarding the impact to waterway traffic
from these annual events.

Discussion of Rule
These temporary safety zones are
necessary to ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and vessels
during the annual fireworks events in
the Captain of the Port Boston area of
responsibility that may pose a hazard to
the public. The safety zones will be
enforced immediately before, during,
and after events.
The Captain of the Port will inform
the public about the details of each
fireworks event covered by these safety
zones using a variety of means,
including, but is not limited to,
Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local
Notices to Mariners.
All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the Captain of
the Port Boston or designated on-scene
patrol personnel. Entering into,
transiting through, mooring or
anchoring within the safety zones is
prohibited unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Boston or his
designated on-scene representative. The
Captain of the Port or his designated on
scene representative may be contacted
via VHF Channel 16 or by telephone at
(617) 223–5750.
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 determined that this
rule is not a significant regulatory action
for the following reasons: The safety
zones will be of limited duration, they
cover only a small portion of the
navigable waterways, and the events are
designed to avoid, to the extent
possible, deep draft, fishing, and
recreational boating traffic routes. In
addition, vessels requiring entry into the
area of the safety zones may be
authorized to do so by the Captain of the
Port.
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.
