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 doing
so would be impracticable. The
logistical details of the race were neither
finalized nor presented to the Coast
Guard with enough forewarning to draft
and publish an NPRM. As such, the
event will occur before the rulemaking
process could be completed.
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. Delaying the effective date
would be contrary to the public interest,
since immediate action is needed to
ensure public safety.

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone on
Lake Havasu, California in support of
the Havasu Landing Regatta. This
temporary safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of the
participants, crew, spectators,
participating vessels, and other vessels
and users of the waterway. Persons and
vessels are prohibited from entering
into, transiting through, or anchoring
within this safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port, or
his designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from 8 a.m.
on February 19, 2011, to 4 p.m. on
February 20, 2011.

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Background and Purpose
We are establishing this temporary
safety zone in support of the Havasu
Landing Regatta, a marine event that
includes vessels racing along an
established and marked course on Lake
Havasu, CA. A temporary safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of the
crews, spectators, and participants of
the race and is also necessary to protect
other vessels and users of the waterway.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
safety zone that will be enforced from
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, February
19, and Sunday, February 20, 2011. The
limits of this safety zone are as follows:
From the California shoreline in
E:\FR\FM\17FER1.SGM

9228
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 33 / Thursday, February 17, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
position 34°29.40′ N 114°24.12′ W to the
northern corner 900 yards east in
position 34°29.40′ N 114°23.39′ W to the
southern corner 1400 yards south in
position 34°29.0′ N 114°23.39′ W to the
California shoreline in position 34°29.0′
N 114°24.12′ W.
This safety zone is necessary to
ensure unauthorized personnel and
vessels remain safe by keeping clear of
the race course during the event.
Persons and vessels are prohibited from
entering into, transiting through, or
anchoring within this safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port, or
his designated representative.
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.
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD 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 safety zone is of a limited
duration, only eight hours per day for a
period of two days, and is limited to a
relatively small geographic area.
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.
The safety zone will affect the
following entities some of which may be
small entities: The owners and operators
of pleasure craft engaged in recreational
activities and sightseeing in the
impacted portion of Lake Havasu on
February 19 and 20, 2011. This safety
zone will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for several
reasons. Vessel traffic can pass safely
around the area, vessels engaged in
recreational activities have ample space
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Feb 16, 2011
Jkt 223001
outside of the safety zone to engage in
these activities, and this safety zone is
limited in scope and duration as it is
only in effect for eight hours per day for
a period of two days.
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 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 effect a taking of
private property or otherwise have
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
E:\FR\FM\17FER1.SGM
17FER1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 33 / Thursday, February 17, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
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.
An environmental analysis checklist
and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the
docket where indicated under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Deposit Account Background
The Copyright Office maintains a
system of deposit accounts for those
who frequently use its services. An
individual or entity may establish a
deposit account, make advance deposits
into that account, and charge copyright
fees against the balance instead of
sending separate payments with
applications and other requests for
services. This process has proven to be
more efficient and less expensive for
both the Office and the applicant than
sending separate payments to the
Copyright Office for each application for
registration or for other services.
The goal of this Final Rule is to solve
the problems associated with the
suspension of paper registration
applications for lack of deposit account
funds. As explained in the October 8,
2010 Federal Register Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (75 FR 62345),
when the deposit account being used for
payment has insufficient funds to
process a paper application, the
Copyright Office suspends processing of
the application to notify the account
holder that replenishment of the
account is needed, and places the
pending application and associated
deposit copies in temporary storage. The
suspended applications, which may
number 3,000 or more at any one time,
must be reviewed regularly by Office
staff to locate those that are newly
funded and reprocess them. Thus,
insufficient deposit account funding
effectively doubles—at a minimum—the
time Office staff must spend processing
an application, time that would
otherwise be more profitably spent on
processing properly filed claims.
On average, one to three percent of
paper applications for registration are
suspended each year due to lack of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 doing so would be impracticable. The
logistical details of the race were neither finalized nor presented to
the Coast Guard with enough forewarning to draft and publish an NPRM.
As such, the event will occur before the rulemaking process could be
completed.
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. Delaying the effective date would
be contrary to the public interest, since immediate action is needed to
ensure public safety.
Background and Purpose
We are establishing this temporary safety zone in support of the
Havasu Landing Regatta, a marine event that includes vessels racing
along an established and marked course on Lake Havasu, CA. A temporary
safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the crews,
spectators, and participants of the race and is also necessary to
protect other vessels and users of the waterway.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone that will be enforced
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 19, and Sunday, February
20, 2011. The limits of this safety zone are as follows: From the
California shoreline in
[[Page 9228]]
position 34[deg]29.40' N 114[deg]24.12' W to the northern corner 900
yards east in position 34[deg]29.40' N 114[deg]23.39' W to the southern
corner 1400 yards south in position 34[deg]29.0' N 114[deg]23.39' W to
the California shoreline in position 34[deg]29.0' N 114[deg]24.12' W.
This safety zone is necessary to ensure unauthorized personnel and
vessels remain safe by keeping clear of the race course during the
event. Persons and vessels are prohibited from entering into,
transiting through, or anchoring within this safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port, or his designated
representative.
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 safety zone is of a limited duration,
only eight hours per day for a period of two days, and is limited to a
relatively small geographic area.
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.
The safety zone will affect the following entities some of which
may be small entities: The owners and operators of pleasure craft
engaged in recreational activities and sightseeing in the impacted
portion of Lake Havasu on February 19 and 20, 2011. This safety zone
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities for several reasons. Vessel traffic can pass safely
around the area, vessels engaged in recreational activities have ample
space outside of the safety zone to engage in these activities, and
this safety zone is limited in scope and duration as it is only in
effect for eight hours per day for a period of two days.
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 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 effect 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
[[Page 9229]]
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.
An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
