Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under

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

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this 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).
It is unnecessary to seek comments on
this rulemaking because the purpose of
this security zone—to provide for the
security of the U.S. Naval vessels, their
crews, and the public from sabotage or
other subversive acts, accidents,
criminal actions, or other causes of a
similar nature—no longer exists because
the Navy no longer owns this facility.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. The
pier is no longer owned by the U.S.

1522
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
Navy and the existing security zone is
no longer necessary.
Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is removing a
security zone on the navigable waters of
the San Diego Bay, San Diego, CA. The
existing security zone is around the
former Fleet Industrial Supply Center
Pier. The security zone encompasses all
navigable waters within 100 feet of the
former Fleet Industrial Supply Center
Pier. The pier is no longer owned by the
U.S. Navy and the security zone is no
longer needed to protect U.S. Naval
vessels, their crews, and the public from
sabotage or other subversive acts,
accidents, criminal actions or other
causes of a similar nature.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is removing a
security zone. The current limits of the
security zone include all navigable
waters within 100 feet of the former
Fleet Industrial Supply Center Pier
enclosed by lines connecting the
following points: 32°42′50″ N,
117°10′25″ W; 32°42′50″ N, 117°10′38″
W; 32°42′54″ N, 117°10′38″ W;
32°42′54″ N, 117°10′25″ W.
The security zone is no longer necessary
to protect U.S. Naval vessels, their
crews, and the public from sabotage or
other subversive acts, accidents,
criminal actions, or other causes of a
similar nature.
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.
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
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 entities most likely to be
affected are pleasure craft engaged in
recreational activities and sightseeing.
As such, the Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this rule to be
minimal.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:00 Jan 10, 2011
Jkt 223001
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 the San Diego Bay. The
removal of this security zone will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
for the following reason. Removing the
security zone will allow the public to
access an area of the waterway that is
currently restricted.
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

branding, and in compliance with the
Office of Management and Budget’s
Memorandum 10–23, Guidance for
Agency Use of Third-Party Web sites
and Applications, and the agency’s
Open Government initiatives, the
Archivist has designated a NARA-wide
official agency logo. This logo is for use
on agency letterhead, all agency social
media sites, and other agency
communications or publicity media as a
consistent branding image for agency
recognition. The logo does not replace
NARA’s official seals.
The second logo is for the Office of
Government Information Services
(OGIS). The OPEN Government Act of
2007 amended the Freedom of
Information Act, or FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552)
to create the OGIS within NARA. As
part of its statutory duties as
ombudsman of the Federal FOIA
program, OGIS has developed an office
logo for instant recognition of OGIS and
its programs and services across the
Federal government and amongst FOIA
requesters.
The third logo is for the Controlled
Unclassified Information (CUI) Office.
The Archivist of the United States’
Memorandum, dated May 21, 2008,
established the CUI Office within NARA
and its purpose is to develop and
implement policy standards for CUI,
guided by Presidential direction. The
CUI logo is a symbol of NARA’s policy
office for CUI and has been designed to
convey recognition of the
standardization of CUI policy across the
Federal government.
The fourth logo is for the National
Declassification Center (NDC). The NDC
was established in accordance with
Section 3.7 of Executive Order 13526,
by the Archivist of the United States on
December 30, 2009. Its mission is to
align people, processes, and
technologies to advance the
declassification and public release of
historically valuable permanent records
while maintaining national security.
The NDC logo is being adopted to
provide a recognizable, standard brand
for the NDC and its activities.
Permission is required for the
replication or use of these logos.
This rule is effective upon publication
for good cause as permitted by the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3)). NARA believes that delaying
the effective date for 30 days is
unnecessary as this rule represents
minor technical amendments and there
are no changes to the public’s ability to
utilize its logos or of services to the
public. In addition, the public will
benefit immediately from recognition of
NARA’s new official logo when it
appears on documents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this 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).
It is unnecessary to seek comments on this rulemaking because the
purpose of this security zone--to provide for the security of the U.S.
Naval vessels, their crews, and the public from sabotage or other
subversive acts, accidents, criminal actions, or other causes of a
similar nature--no longer exists because the Navy no longer owns this
facility.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register. The pier is no longer owned by the U.S.
[[Page 1522]]
Navy and the existing security zone is no longer necessary.
Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is removing a security zone on the navigable waters
of the San Diego Bay, San Diego, CA. The existing security zone is
around the former Fleet Industrial Supply Center Pier. The security
zone encompasses all navigable waters within 100 feet of the former
Fleet Industrial Supply Center Pier. The pier is no longer owned by the
U.S. Navy and the security zone is no longer needed to protect U.S.
Naval vessels, their crews, and the public from sabotage or other
subversive acts, accidents, criminal actions or other causes of a
similar nature.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is removing a security zone. The current limits of
the security zone include all navigable waters within 100 feet of the
former Fleet Industrial Supply Center Pier enclosed by lines connecting
the following points: 32[deg]42'50'' N, 117[deg]10'25'' W;
32[deg]42'50'' N, 117[deg]10'38'' W; 32[deg]42'54'' N, 117[deg]10'38''
W; 32[deg]42'54'' N, 117[deg]10'25'' W.
The security zone is no longer necessary to protect U.S. Naval vessels,
their crews, and the public from sabotage or other subversive acts,
accidents, criminal actions, or other causes of a similar nature.
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 entities most likely to be affected
are pleasure craft engaged in recreational activities and sightseeing.
As such, the Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be
minimal.
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 the San Diego Bay. The removal of
this security zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reason. Removing
the security zone will allow the public to access an area of the
waterway that is currently restricted.
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
[[Page 1523]]
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 removal of a security zone.
An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
