Cass Street Drawbridge, across the
Illinois Waterway, mile 288.1, at Joliet,
Illinois to remain in the closed-tonavigation position for three hours
while an 8K run is held in the city of
Joliet, IL. The Cass Street Drawbridge
currently operates in accordance with
33 CFR 117.393(c), which states the
general requirement that drawbridges
shall open promptly and fully for the
passage of vessels when a request to
open is given in accordance with the
subpart, except that they need not open
from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from
4:15 to 5:15 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
There are no alternate routes for
vessels transiting this section of the
Illinois Waterway.
The Cass Street Drawbridge, in the
closed-to-navigation position, provides
a vertical clearance of 16.6 feet above
normal pool. Navigation on the
waterway consists primarily of
commercial tows and recreational
watercraft. This temporary deviation has
been coordinated with waterway users.
No objections were received.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
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 waiting
for a notice and comment period to run
would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest because it would
inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability to
protect the public from the hazards
associated with maritime fireworks
displays.
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 of
this rule would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest because it
would inhibit the Coast Guard from
ensuring the safety of vessels and the
public during the fireworks display.
Background and Purpose
On June 4, 2011, a private party is
holding a land based wedding that will
include fireworks launched from a point
on Lake St. Clair. This temporary safety
zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
21637
vessels and spectators from hazards
associated with that fireworks display.
Such hazards include obstructions to
the waterway that may cause marine
casualties, explosive danger of
fireworks, debris falling into the water
that may cause death, serious bodily
harm or property damage. Establishing a
safety zone to control vessel movement
around the location of the launch
platform will help ensure the safety of
persons and property in the vicinity of
this event and help minimize the
associated risks.
Discussion of Rule
A temporary safety zone is necessary
to ensure the safety of spectators and
vessels during the setup, loading, and
launching of the Ford Estate Wedding
Fireworks Display. The fireworks
display will occur between 8:30 p.m.
and 9:30 p.m., June 4, 2011.
The safety zone will encompass all
waters on Lake St. Clair within a 420
foot radius of the fireworks barge launch
site located off the shore of Grosse
Pointe Shores, MI at position
42°27′15.06″ N, 082°51′59.01″ W from
8:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. on June 4,
2011. All geographic coordinates are
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD
83).
All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port or the designated onscene patrol personnel. Entry into,
transiting, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Detroit or his designated on-scene
representative. The Captain of the Port
or his designated on-scene
representative may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16.
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. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
We conclude that this rule is not a
significant regulatory action because we
E:\FR\FM\18APR1.SGM
18APR1
21638
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
anticipate that it will have minimal
impact on the economy, will not
interfere with other agencies, will not
adversely alter the budget of any grant
or loan recipients, and will not raise any
novel legal or policy issues. The safety
zone around the launch platform will be
relatively small and exist for only a
minimal time. Thus, restrictions on
vessel movement within any particular
area of Lake St. Clair are expected to be
minimal. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit
through the safety zone when permitted
by the Captain of the Port.
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
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
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
this portion of Lake St. Clair between
8:30 p.m. through 9:30 p.m. on June 4,
2011.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
because vessels can easily transit
around the zone. The Coast Guard will
give notice to the public via a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners that the regulation is
in effect.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

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
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 because it
involves the establishment of a

Finding of Substantial Inadequacy of
Implementation Plan; Call for Utah
State Implementation Plan Revision
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
Pursuant to sections
110(a)(2)(H) and 110(k)(5) of the Clean
Air Act (CAA), EPA is finding that the
Utah State Implementation Plan (SIP) is
substantially inadequate to attain or
maintain the national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS) or to
otherwise comply with the requirements
of the CAA and issuing a call for the
State of Utah to revise its SIP.
Specifically, the SIP includes Utah’s
unavoidable breakdown rule (rule
R307–107), which exempts emissions
during unavoidable breakdowns from
compliance with emission limitations.
This rule undermines EPA’s, Utah’s,
and citizens’ ability to enforce emission
limitations that have been relied on to
ensure attainment or maintenance of the
NAAQS or meet other CAA
requirements. EPA is requiring that the
State revise the SIP to remove R307–107
or correct its deficiencies and submit
the revised SIP to EPA within 18
months of the effective date of this final
rule. If EPA finds that Utah has failed
to submit a complete SIP revision as
required by this final rule or if EPA
disapproves such a revision, such a
finding or disapproval will trigger
clocks for mandatory sanctions and an
obligation for EPA to impose a Federal
Implementation Plan (FIP). If EPA
makes such a finding or disapproval,
mandatory sanctions will apply such
that the offset sanction would apply 18
months after such finding or
disapproval and highway funding

restrictions would apply six months
later unless EPA takes action to stay the
imposition of the sanctions or to stop
the sanctions clock based on the State
curing the SIP deficiencies.
In its proposed rulemaking action,
EPA requested comment on whether it
should exercise its discretionary
authority under CAA section 110(m) to
impose the highway funding restrictions
sanctions in areas of the State that
would not be subject to mandatory
sanctions. EPA is deferring a decision
on whether to impose sanctions under
section 110(m) and will consider any
comments on the issue of imposing
sanctions under section 110(m) if and
when we take final action on this issue
in the future.

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 waiting for a notice and comment
period to run would be impracticable and contrary to the public
interest because it would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to protect
the public from the hazards associated with maritime fireworks
displays.
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 of
this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest
because it would inhibit the Coast Guard from ensuring the safety of
vessels and the public during the fireworks display.
Background and Purpose
On June 4, 2011, a private party is holding a land based wedding
that will include fireworks launched from a point on Lake St. Clair.
This temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of vessels
and spectators from hazards associated with that fireworks display.
Such hazards include obstructions to the waterway that may cause marine
casualties, explosive danger of fireworks, debris falling into the
water that may cause death, serious bodily harm or property damage.
Establishing a safety zone to control vessel movement around the
location of the launch platform will help ensure the safety of persons
and property in the vicinity of this event and help minimize the
associated risks.
Discussion of Rule
A temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
spectators and vessels during the setup, loading, and launching of the
Ford Estate Wedding Fireworks Display. The fireworks display will occur
between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., June 4, 2011.
The safety zone will encompass all waters on Lake St. Clair within
a 420 foot radius of the fireworks barge launch site located off the
shore of Grosse Pointe Shores, MI at position 42[deg]27'15.06'' N,
082[deg]51'59.01'' W from 8:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. on June 4, 2011.
All geographic coordinates are North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the designated on-scene patrol
personnel. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone
is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Detroit or
his designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or his

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.

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. It is not ``significant'' under the
regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we
[[Page 21638]]
anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy, will not
interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the budget of
any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel legal or
policy issues. The safety zone around the launch platform will be
relatively small and exist for only a minimal time. Thus, restrictions
on vessel movement within any particular area of Lake St. Clair are
expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions, moreover, vessels may
still transit through the safety zone when permitted 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. 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 vessels intending to
transit or anchor in this portion of Lake St. Clair between 8:30 p.m.
through 9:30 p.m. on June 4, 2011.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because vessels can easily transit
around the zone. The Coast Guard will give notice to the public via a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners that the regulation is in effect.
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 because it involves the establishment of a
[[Page 21639]]
temporary safety zone. An environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination will be available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
