Public Meeting
We do not now plan to hold a public
meeting. But you may submit a request
for one the using one of the four
methods specified under ADDRESSES.
Please explain why you believe a public
meeting would be beneficial. If we
determine that one would aid this
rulemaking, we will hold one at a time
and place announced by a later notice
in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
Currently, 33 CFR 165.929 lists
seventy different locations in the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone
at which safety zones have been
permanently established. Each of these
seventy safety zones corresponds to an
annually recurring marine event. During
an annual review of 33 CFR 165.929 it
was found that the details of two of the
annually recurring events have changed.
It was also determined that five
additional recurring marine events
require the implementation of
permanent safety zones. This proposed
rule will revise the enforcement date
and time of two events and add five
reccurring events that require safety
zones. In addition, this proposed rule
will revise the organizational structure
of 33 CFR 165.929 so that the events
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:33 Feb 24, 2012
Jkt 226001
will be listed numerically rather than
alphabetically. Listing the events
numerically is meant to make it easier
for the public to identify the annual
events requiring safety zones in the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
This proposed rule will amend the
regulations found in 33 CFR 165.929,
Annual Events requiring safety zones in
the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan
zone. Specifically, this proposed rule
will revise § 165.929 in its entirety. The
revision will include the modification of
the name and enforcement period of one
safety zone, the enforcement period of
one safety zone, and the addition of five
new safety zones. Each of the existing
and proposed safety zones are necessary
to protect vessels and people from the
hazards associated with various
maritime events. Such hazards include
obstructions to the navigable channels,
explosive dangers associated with
various maritime events. Although this
proposed rule will remain in effect year
round, the safety zones within it will be
enforced only immediately before,
during, and after each corresponding
marine event.
The Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan will use all appropriate means
to notify the public when the zones in
this proposal will be enforced.
Consistent with 33 CFR 165.7(a), such
means of may include, among other
things, publication in the Federal
Register and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
The Captain of the Port will issue a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners notifying
the public when enforcement of a safety
zone in this section is cancelled.
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring
within each of the below safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan, or
his designated representative. The
Captain of the Port or his designated
representative may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
11427
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order
12866 or under section 1 of Executive
Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under
those Orders. It is not ‘‘significant’’
under the regulatory policies and
procedures of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). We conclude
that this proposed rule is not a
significant regulatory action because we
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
zones amended and established by this
proposed rule will be relatively small
and enforced for relatively short time.
Also, each safety zone is designed to
minimize its impact on navigable
waters. Furthermore, each safety zone
has been designed to allow vessels to
transit unrestricted to portions of the
waterways not affected by the safety
zones. Thus, restrictions on vessel
movements within that particular area
are expected to be minimal. Under
certain conditions, moreover, vessels
may still transit through each safety
zone when permitted by the Captain of
the Port, Sector Lake Michigan. On the
whole, the Coast Guard expects
insignificant adverse impact to mariners
from the activation of these safety zones.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this proposed 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 proposed rule
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
This proposed rule would affect the
following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners and
operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in any one of the below safety
zones while the safety zone is being
enforced. The below safety zones will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons: each safety
zone in this proposed rule will be in
effect for only a few hours within any
given 24 hour period. Each of the safety
zones will be in effect only once per
E:\FR\FM\27FEP1.SGM
27FEP1
11428
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Proposed Rules
year. Furthermore, these safety zones
have been designed to allow traffic to
pass safely around each zone. Moreover,
vessels will be allowed to pass through
each zone at the discretion of the
Captain of the Port, Sector Lake
Michigan, or his or her designated
representative.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this proposed rule so that
they can better evaluate its effects on
them and participate in the rulemaking.
If this proposed rule would affect your
small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact
BM1 Adam Kraft, Prevention
Department, Coast Guard Sector Lake
Michigan, Milwaukee, WI at (414) 747–
7154. The Coast Guard will not retaliate
against small entities that question or
complain about this proposed rule or
any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule calls for no new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
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 proposed 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
proposed rule would not result in such
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:33 Feb 24, 2012
Jkt 226001
an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this proposed rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule will not affect the
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 proposed 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 proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an
economically significant rule and would
not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed 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 proposed 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
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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 proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination
that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This proposed
rule involves the establishing of security
zones and therefore, is categorically
excluded under paragraph 34(g) of the
Instruction. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this preliminary
determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES. We
seek any comments or information that
may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.

Register.
Background and Purpose
Currently, 33 CFR 165.929 lists seventy different locations in the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone at which safety zones have been
permanently established. Each of these seventy safety zones corresponds
to an annually recurring marine event. During an annual review of 33
CFR 165.929 it was found that the details of two of the annually
recurring events have changed. It was also determined that five
additional recurring marine events require the implementation of
permanent safety zones. This proposed rule will revise the enforcement
date and time of two events and add five reccurring events that require
safety zones. In addition, this proposed rule will revise the
organizational structure of 33 CFR 165.929 so that the events will be
listed numerically rather than alphabetically. Listing the events
numerically is meant to make it easier for the public to identify the
annual events requiring safety zones in the Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan zone.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
This proposed rule will amend the regulations found in 33 CFR
165.929, Annual Events requiring safety zones in the Captain of the
Port Lake Michigan zone. Specifically, this proposed rule will revise
Sec. 165.929 in its entirety. The revision will include the
modification of the name and enforcement period of one safety zone, the
enforcement period of one safety zone, and the addition of five new
safety zones. Each of the existing and proposed safety zones are
necessary to protect vessels and people from the hazards associated
with various maritime events. Such hazards include obstructions to the
navigable channels, explosive dangers associated with various maritime
events. Although this proposed rule will remain in effect year round,
the safety zones within it will be enforced only immediately before,
during, and after each corresponding marine event.
The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan will use all appropriate
means to notify the public when the zones in this proposal will be
enforced. Consistent with 33 CFR 165.7(a), such means of may include,
among other things, publication in the Federal Register and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners. The Captain of the Port
will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners notifying the public when
enforcement of a safety zone in this section is cancelled.
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within each of the below
safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port
Lake Michigan, or his designated representative. The Captain of the
Port or his designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel
16.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. It is not
``significant'' under the regulatory policies and procedures of the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We conclude that this proposed
rule is not a significant regulatory action because we 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 zones amended and established by this proposed rule will be
relatively small and enforced for relatively short time. Also, each
safety zone is designed to minimize its impact on navigable waters.
Furthermore, each safety zone has been designed to allow vessels to
transit unrestricted to portions of the waterways not affected by the
safety zones. Thus, restrictions on vessel movements within that
particular area are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit through each safety zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan. On the
whole, the Coast Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners
from the activation of these safety zones.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed 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 proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners and operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in any one of the below safety zones
while the safety zone is being enforced. The below safety zones will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities for the following reasons: each safety zone in this proposed
rule will be in effect for only a few hours within any given 24 hour
period. Each of the safety zones will be in effect only once per
[[Page 11428]]
year. Furthermore, these safety zones have been designed to allow
traffic to pass safely around each zone. Moreover, vessels will be
allowed to pass through each zone at the discretion of the Captain of
the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her designated
representative.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this rule would economically affect it.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If this
proposed rule would affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance, please contact BM1 Adam Kraft,
Prevention Department, Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan, Milwaukee, WI
at (414) 747-7154. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.
Collection of Information
This proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule will not affect the 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 proposed 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 proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an economically significant rule and
would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that
might disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
involves the establishing of security zones and therefore, is
categorically excluded under paragraph 34(g) of the Instruction. A
preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this
preliminary determination is available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.
