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
standard notice procedures are
impracticable. Immediate action is
necessary to ensure the safety of vessels,
spectators, participants, and others in
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
the vicinity of the marine event on the
dates and times this rule will be in
effect.
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 impracticable, because
immediate action is needed to ensure
the public’s safety.
Basis and Purpose
Sea World is sponsoring the Sea
World Fireworks, which will include a
fireworks presentation from a barge in
Mission Bay. Fireworks displays are
scheduled to occur on various dates
between April 2 and December 31, 2011.
This temporary safety zone is necessary
to provide for the safety of the crew,
spectators, participants, and other
vessels and users of the waterway.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
temporary safety zone in support of Sea
World Fireworks. It will be enforced
from 8:45 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. on
evenings with a fireworks show.
Fireworks shows are currently
scheduled for the following dates in
2011: April 2, 9, 16 and 23; May 28, 29
and 30; June 4 and 5, 11 and 12; June
16 through August 21; August 26, 27,
and 28; September 3, 4, and 5;
November 18; and December 9 and 31.
If this schedule changes the Coast Guard
will announce the changes via
Broadcast Notice to Mariners no less
than 24 hours before the event. The
safety zone will cover a 600 foot radius
surrounding the fireworks barge in
approximate position 32°46′03″ N,
117°13′11″ W. The safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of the
crew, spectators, participants, and other
vessels and users of the waterway.
When this temporary safety zone is
being enforced, 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
E:\FR\FM\25APR1.SGM
25APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
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.
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 wishing to transit through or
anchor in the impacted portion of
Mission Bay on the nights with Sea
World fireworks shows.
This rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the
following reasons. Vessel traffic can
pass safely around the safety zone.
Before the effective period, the Coast
Guard will publish a local notice to
mariners (LNM) and will issue
broadcast notice to mariners (BNM)
alerts via marine channel 16 VHF before
the safety zone is enforced.
jdjones on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
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.
We expect the economic impact of
this proposed rule to be so minimal that
a full Regulatory Evaluation is
unnecessary. This determination is
based on the size and location of the
temporary safety zone. Because of the
location, commercial vessels will not be
hindered by the safety zone.
Recreational vessels will not be allowed
to transit through the designated safety
zone during the specified times, but the
zone will only be enforced for
approximately ninety minutes a night.
Federalism
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 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

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).
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 cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
22813
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4579),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the
Commonwealth of Virginia. The NPR
proposed approval of Virginia’s SIP
revision pertaining to the NAAQS for
lead and related reference conditions.
The CAA specifies that EPA must reevaluate the appropriateness of the
NAAQS every five years. As part of the
process, EPA reviewed the latest
research and determined that revised
standards for lead were necessary to
protect public health and welfare. EPA
revised the level of the primary lead
standard to a level of 0.15 μg/m3 to
provide increased protection for
children and other ‘‘at risk’’ populations.
The secondary standard was also
revised to a level of
0.15 μg/m3 to afford increased
protection for the environment. EPA
promulgated the more stringent primary
and secondary NAAQS for lead on
November 12, 2008 (73 FR 66964). One
adverse comment was submitted on
EPA’s January 26, 2011 NPR (76 FR
4579). A summary of the comment and
EPA’s response is provided in section IV
of this document.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
On September 27, 2010, the
Commonwealth of Virginia submitted a
formal revision to its SIP. The SIP
revision consists of an amendment
which includes the revised primary and
secondary NAAQS for lead and related
reference conditions. Virginia’s revision
incorporates the Federal lead standards

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 standard notice procedures are
impracticable. Immediate action is necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels, spectators, participants, and others in the vicinity of the
marine event on the dates and times this rule will be in effect.
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 impracticable, because immediate action is needed to ensure the
public's safety.
Basis and Purpose
Sea World is sponsoring the Sea World Fireworks, which will include
a fireworks presentation from a barge in Mission Bay. Fireworks
displays are scheduled to occur on various dates between April 2 and
December 31, 2011. This temporary safety zone is necessary to provide
for the safety of the crew, spectators, participants, and other vessels
and users of the waterway.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in support
of Sea World Fireworks. It will be enforced from 8:45 p.m. to 10:15
p.m. on evenings with a fireworks show. Fireworks shows are currently
scheduled for the following dates in 2011: April 2, 9, 16 and 23; May
28, 29 and 30; June 4 and 5, 11 and 12; June 16 through August 21;
August 26, 27, and 28; September 3, 4, and 5; November 18; and December
9 and 31. If this schedule changes the Coast Guard will announce the
changes via Broadcast Notice to Mariners no less than 24 hours before
the event. The safety zone will cover a 600 foot radius surrounding the
fireworks barge in approximate position 32[deg]46[min]03[sec] N,
117[deg]13[min]11[sec] W. The safety zone is necessary to provide for
the safety of the crew, spectators, participants, and other vessels and
users of the waterway. When this temporary safety zone is being
enforced, 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
[[Page 22813]]
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.
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This
determination is based on the size and location of the temporary safety
zone. Because of the location, commercial vessels will not be hindered
by the safety zone. Recreational vessels will not be allowed to transit
through the designated safety zone during the specified times, but the
zone will only be enforced for approximately ninety minutes a night.
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 wishing to
transit through or anchor in the impacted portion of Mission Bay on the
nights with Sea World fireworks shows.
This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. Vessel
traffic can pass safely around the safety zone. Before the effective
period, the Coast Guard will publish a local notice to mariners (LNM)
and will issue broadcast notice to mariners (BNM) alerts via marine
channel 16 VHF before the safety zone is enforced.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 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 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
[[Page 22814]]
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 establishment of a temporary safety zone. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
