series of high-speed boat races. The
event is scheduled to take place on
Saturday, May 21, 2011 and Sunday,
May 22, 2011. The temporary safety
zone is necessary for the safety of race
participants, participant vessels,
spectators, and the general public
during the event. Persons and vessels
are prohibited from entering, transiting
through, anchoring in, or remaining
within the safety zone unless authorized
by the Captain of the Port Jacksonville
or a designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from 10
a.m. on May 21, 2011 through 5:30 p.m.
on May 22, 2011. This rule will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
16:21 May 09, 2011
Jkt 223001
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 the
Coast Guard did not receive notice of
the event with sufficient time to publish
an NPRM and to receive public
comments prior to the event. Any delay
in the effective date of this rule would
be contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed to
minimize the potential danger to race
participants, participant vessels,
spectators, and the general public.
For the same reasons, the Coast Guard
finds under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) that good
cause exists for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
Super Boat International Productions,
Inc., is hosting the Second Annual
Space Coast Super Boat Grand Prix, a
series of high-speed boat races. The
event will commence on May 21, 2011
and conclude on May 22, 2011. The
event will be held on the waters of the
Atlantic Ocean east of Cocoa Beach,
Florida. Approximately 30 high-speed
power boats will be participating in the
races, and it is expected that 100
spectator vessels will be present in the
area during the races. The high speed of

the participant vessels poses a safety
hazard to race participants, participant
vessels, spectators, and the general
public. The temporary safety zone is
necessary to protect race participants,
participant vessels, spectators, and the
general public from the hazards
associated with the event.
Discussion of Rule
The safety zone encompasses certain
navigable waters of the Atlantic Ocean
in the vicinity of Cocoa Beach, Florida.
The safety zone will be enforced from
10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, May
21, 2011, and from 9 a.m. until 5:30
p.m. on Sunday, May 22, 2011. Persons
and vessels are prohibited from
entering, transiting through, anchoring
in, or remaining within the safety zone
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port Jacksonville or a designated
representative. Persons and vessels
desiring to enter, transit through, anchor
in, or remain within the safety zone may
contact the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville by telephone at 904–564–
7511, or his designated representative
via VHF radio on channel 16, to request
authorization. The Coast Guard will be
providing notice of the safety zone via
Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners. On-scene notice will
also be provided by the Coast Guard or
local law enforcement.
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 economic impact of this rule is
not significant for the following reasons:
(1) The safety zone will be enforced for
only 14.5 hours; (2) although persons
and vessels will not be able to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain
within the safety zone without
authorization from the Captain of the
Port Jacksonville or a designated
representative, they may operate in the
surrounding area during the effective
period; (3) persons and vessels may still
enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the safety zone if
authorized by the Captain of the Port

emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD 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 may affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within
that portion of the Atlantic Ocean
encompassed within the safety zone
from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on May 21,
2011, and 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on May
22, 2011. For the reasons discussed in
the Regulatory Planning and Review
section above, this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:21 May 09, 2011
Jkt 223001
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
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 involves the
establishment of a temporary safety
zone on the waters of Atlantic Ocean
that will be enforced for a total of 14.5
hours. An environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the
docket where indicated under

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is taking final action to
approve a revision to the State
Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted
by Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) to EPA
on December 9, 2010, for parallel
processing. DEP submitted the final
version of this SIP revision on February
9, 2011. The SIP revision, which
incorporates updates to DEP’s air
quality regulations, includes two
significant changes impacting the
regulation of greenhouse gases (GHG)
under Connecticut’s New Source
Review (NSR) Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) program. First, the
revision provides Connecticut with
authority to issue PSD permits
governing GHG. Second, the SIP
revision establishes appropriate
emission thresholds for determining
which new stationary sources and
modification projects become subject to
Connecticut’s PSD permitting
requirements for their GHG emissions.
The first change is necessary because
Connecticut is required to apply its PSD
program to GHG-emitting sources, and
unless it does so (or unless EPA
promulgates a federal implementation

plan (FIP) to do so), such sources will
be unable to receive preconstruction
permits and therefore may not be able
to construct or modify. The second
change is necessary, because without it,
PSD requirements would apply at the
100 or 250 ton per year (tpy) levels
otherwise provided under the Clean Air
Act (CAA or Act), which would
overwhelm Connecticut’s permitting
resources. EPA is approving
Connecticut’s February 9, 2011, SIP
revision because the Agency has made
the determination that this SIP revision
is in accordance with the CAA and EPA
regulations, including regulations
pertaining to PSD permitting for GHG.
Additionally, EPA is responding to
adverse comments received on EPA’s
January 6, 2011, proposed approval of
Connecticut’s December 9, 2010, SIP
revision.
Effective Date: This rule will be
effective May 10, 2011.

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 the Coast Guard did not receive
notice of the event with sufficient time to publish an NPRM and to
receive public comments prior to the event. Any delay in the effective
date of this rule would be contrary to the public interest because
immediate action is needed to minimize the potential danger to race
participants, participant vessels, spectators, and the general public.
For the same reasons, the Coast Guard finds under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3) that good cause exists for making this rule effective less
than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
Super Boat International Productions, Inc., is hosting the Second
Annual Space Coast Super Boat Grand Prix, a series of high-speed boat
races. The event will commence on May 21, 2011 and conclude on May 22,
2011. The event will be held on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean east
of Cocoa Beach, Florida. Approximately 30 high-speed power boats will
be participating in the races, and it is expected that 100 spectator
vessels will be present in the area during the races. The high speed of
the participant vessels poses a safety hazard to race participants,
participant vessels, spectators, and the general public. The temporary
safety zone is necessary to protect race participants, participant
vessels, spectators, and the general public from the hazards associated
with the event.
Discussion of Rule
The safety zone encompasses certain navigable waters of the
Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of Cocoa Beach, Florida. The safety zone
will be enforced from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, 2011,
and from 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 22, 2011. Persons and
vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in,
or remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative. Persons and
vessels desiring to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the safety zone may contact the Captain of the Port Jacksonville by
telephone at 904-564-7511, or his designated representative via VHF
radio on channel 16, to request authorization. The Coast Guard will be
providing notice of the safety zone via Local Notice to Mariners and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners. On-scene notice will also be provided by
the Coast Guard or local law enforcement.
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 economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The safety zone will be enforced for only 14.5
hours; (2) although persons and vessels will not be able to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone without
authorization from the Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a designated
representative, they may operate in the surrounding area during the
effective period; (3) persons and vessels may still enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone if authorized by
the Captain of the Port
[[Page 26932]]
Jacksonville or a designated representative; and (4) advance
notification will be made to the local maritime community via Local
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
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 may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within that portion of the
Atlantic Ocean encompassed within the safety zone from 10 a.m. until 4
p.m. on May 21, 2011, and 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on May 22, 2011. For
the reasons discussed in the Regulatory Planning and Review section
above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
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 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 involves the establishment of a temporary safety zone on the
waters of Atlantic Ocean that will be enforced for a total of 14.5
hours. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
