SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
Regulatory Information
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, since immediate action is
needed to protect the general public,
vessel and tows from a sunken vessel
and associated hazards in position
29°48.77′ N 091°33.02′ W, in the
Charenton Drainage and Navigation
Canal.
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. Publishing an NPRM and
delaying its effective date would be
impracticable since immediate action is
needed to protect the general public,
vessel and tows from destruction, loss
or injury due to a sunken vessel and
associated hazards in position 29°48.77′
N 091°33.02′ W.
Background and Purpose
A Mobile Inshore Drilling Rig
(Hercules Rig 61) scheduled for scrap
sank in the Charenton Navigation and
Drainage Canal. A safety zone is needed
to protect the general public, vessels
and tows from destruction, loss or
injury from a sunken vessel and
associated hazards during the response
action.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
temporary Safety Zone 500 yards North
and South, bank to bank, of position
29°48.77′ N 091°33.02′ W within the
Charenton Drainage and Navigation
Canal. The temporary Safety Zone is
established for the period from January
7, 2011, through June 30, 2011. Vessels
and tows may not enter this zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Morgan City.
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.
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 will only be in effect for a
limited period of time and notifications
to the marine community will be made
through broadcast notice to mariners
and Local Notice to Mariners. Vessels
needing to transit the area can request
permission from the Captain of the Port.
The impacts on routine navigation are
expected 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 may be small
entities: the owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit through the
Safety Zone from January 7, 2011 to
June 30, 2011. This Safety Zone will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
because this rule will be in effect for
only a short period of time, and vessels
that need to transit the area while the
safety zone is effective can request
permission from the Captain of the Port.
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
E:\FR\FM\26JAR1.SGM
26JAR1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 26, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
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.
Emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
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.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:16 Jan 25, 2011
Jkt 223001
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 which 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 a safety
zone.
Because this rule involves an
emergency situation and will be in
effect for over one week, an
environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination will
be provided and made available at the
docket as indicated in the ADDRESSES
section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
23, 2010, MDE submitted to EPA SIP
revision # 10–05 concerning the
adoption of the EPA CTG for flat wood
paneling coatings.
I. Background
Section 172(c)(1) of the CAA provides
that SIPs for nonattainment areas must
include reasonably available control
measures (RACM), including RACT for
sources of emissions. Section
182(b)(2)(A) provides that for certain
nonattainment areas, States must revise
their SIPs to include RACT for sources
of VOC emissions covered by a CTG
document issued after November 15,
1990 and prior to the area’s date of
attainment.
The CTG for flat wood paneling
coatings is intended to provide state and
local air pollution control authorities
information that should assist them in
determining RACT for VOCs from flat
wood paneling coating. In developing
this CTG, EPA, among other things,
evaluated the sources of VOC emissions
from the flat wood paneling coating
industry and the available control
approaches for addressing these
emissions, including the costs of such
approaches. Based on available
information and data, EPA provides
recommendations for RACT for flat
wood paneling coating.
In June 1978, EPA published a final
CTG for flat wood paneling coatings,
entitled ‘‘Control of Volatile Organic
Emissions from Existing Stationary
Sources, Volume VII, Factory Surface
Coating of Flat Wood Paneling,’’ EPA–
450/2–78–034 (June 1978). In September
1979, EPA published guidance to
provide assistance to State and local air
pollution control agencies in preparing
RACT regulations for a variety of
categories, including flat wood
paneling. In 2003, EPA promulgated
national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP)
covering surface coating of wood
building products (including flat wood
paneling). See 68 FR 31746 (May 28,
2003).
Under section 183(e) of the CAA, EPA
conducted a study of VOC emissions
from the use of consumer and
commercial products to assess their
potential to contribute to levels of ozone
that violate the NAAQS for ozone, and
to establish criteria for regulating VOC
emissions from these products. Section
183(e) of the CAA directs EPA to list for

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

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. Publishing an NPRM and delaying
its effective date would be impracticable since immediate action is
needed to protect the general public, vessel and tows from destruction,
loss or injury due to a sunken vessel and associated hazards in

destruction, loss or injury from a sunken vessel and associated hazards
during the response action.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary Safety Zone 500 yards

091[deg]33.02' W within the Charenton Drainage and Navigation Canal.
The temporary Safety Zone is established for the period from January 7,
2011, through June 30, 2011. Vessels and tows may not enter this zone
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Morgan City.
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

The impacts on routine navigation are expected 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
may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit through the Safety Zone from January 7, 2011 to June 30, 2011.
This Safety Zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because this rule will be in
effect for only a short period of time, and vessels that need to
transit the area while the safety zone is effective can request
permission from the Captain of the Port.
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
[[Page 4533]]
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 which 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 a
safety zone.
Because this rule involves an emergency situation and will be in
effect for over one week, an environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination will be provided and made available
at the docket as indicated in the ADDRESSES section.
