The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing
so would be impracticable and contrary
to the public interest. The final details
for this event were not known to the
Coast Guard until there was insufficient
time remaining before the event to
publish an NPRM. Thus, delaying the
effective date of this rule to wait for a
comment period to run would be both
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest because it would inhibit the
Coast Guard’s ability to protect
spectators and vessels from the hazards
associated with aerial insertions and
aircraft maneuvering, which are
discussed further below.
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. For the same reasons
discussed in the preceding paragraph,
waiting for 30 day notice period run
would also be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest.
Basis and Purpose
Beginning at 10 a.m. on June 15, 2012,
through 3:30 p.m. on June 17, 2012,
there will be Marine Air Ground Task
Force movement on and over Burke
Lakefront to include Recon Insertions
(parachuting), and various maneuvers
by USMC aircraft and personnel on the
Burke Lakefront Airport grounds. A
heavy amount of recreational boat traffic
is expected for this event. The Captain
of the Port Buffalo has determined that
the Marines’ maneuvers combined with
a high concentration of recreational
vessels will create significant risks for
the boating public.

Discussion of Rule
With the aforementioned risks in
mind, the Captain of the Port Buffalo
has determined that this temporary
safety zone is necessary to ensure the
safety of participants and the boating
public during the Marine Event. This
temporary safety zone will be effective
from 10 a.m. on June 15, 2012 until
3:30 p.m. on June 17, 2012. It will be
enforced from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and
3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on June 15, 2012,
2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on June 16, 2012,
and 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on June 17,
2012.
The safety zone will encompass a
portion of Lake Erie and Cleveland
Harbor near Burke Lakefront Airport
from position 41°30′20″ N and
081°42′20″ W, to 41°30′50″ N and
081°42′49″ W, to 41°32′09″ N and
081°39′49″ W, to 41°31′53″ N and
081°39′24″ W, then return to the original
position. (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 Commander (PATCOM).
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring
within the safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port Buffalo or his designated on-scene
representative. Only state, federal, and
local vessels will be allowed in the
safety zone. 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, 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 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

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
budget of any grant or loan recipients,
and will not raise any novel legal or
policy issues. The safety zone created by
this rule will be relatively small and
enforced for relatively short time. Also,
the safety zone is designed to minimize
its impact on navigable waters.
Furthermore, the safety zone has been
designed to allow vessels to transit
around it. Thus, restrictions on vessel
movement within that particular area
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 will 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 temporary final rule may affect
the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: The owners of
operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in a portion of Lake Erie and
Cleveland Harbor from 10 a.m. to
11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on
June 15, 2012, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on
June 16, 2012, and 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
on June 17, 2012.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: This rule will be
enforced for approximately three hours
each day in an area with low
commercial vessel traffic. Also, in the
event that this temporary safety zone
affects shipping, commercial vessels
may request permission from the
Captain of the Port Buffalo to transit
through the safety zone. Additionally,
the Coast Guard will give advanced
notice to the public via a local Broadcast
Notice to Mariners that the regulation is
in effect. Moreover, the COTP will
suspend enforcement of the safety zone
if the event for which the zone is
established ends earlier than the
expected time.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:04 Jun 05, 2012
Jkt 226001
33313
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
Assistance for Small Entities
This rule will not affect a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
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 this 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.
If this rule will affect your small
business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact LT
Christopher Mercurio, Chief of
Waterway Management, U.S. Coast
Guard Sector Buffalo; email
SectorBuffaloMarineSafety@uscg.mil;
telephone 716–843–9343. 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,

Taking of Private Property
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
will not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that might
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 will 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
E:\FR\FM\06JNR1.SGM
06JNR1
33314
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
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 safety
zone. A final environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are 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 rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 3, 2012, the Postal Service
published a final rule in the Federal
Register (77 FR 26185–26191) to
discontinue price eligibility for
POSTNET barcodes for all types of mail.
This revision adds DMM revisions
(regarding Periodicals automation letters
and flats) that were inadvertently
omitted in the original final rule, but
does not change any of the DMM
revisions previously published in that
rule.
Implementation
Effective January 28, 2013, the Postal
Service will discontinue price eligibility
for the use of POSTNET barcodes and
allow only Intelligent Mail barcodes
(IMbs) for automation price eligibility
purposes, including Qualified Business
Reply Mail (QBRM) prices. The Postal
Service understands that some mailers
currently use POSTNET barcodes and
we are committed to providing
information to and working with
individual mailers and software
providers to ensure that the use of an
Intelligent Mail barcode is achievable
for all mailing customers.
Change for Letters and Flats
For the past several years, both USPS
and the mailing industry have used the
IMb to gain information about letters
and flats as they move from induction
to delivery. As of January 28, 2013, the
use of the IMb will be required for all
automation letters, including Business
Reply Mail® letters that qualify for
Qualified Business Reply Mail prices,
Permit Reply Mail letters, and
automation flats.
The Postal Service adopts the
following additional changes to Mailing
Standards of the United States Postal
Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM),
which is incorporated by reference in
the Code of Federal Regulations. See

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior

cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest. The final details for this event were
not known to the Coast Guard until there was insufficient time
remaining before the event to publish an NPRM. Thus, delaying the
effective date of this rule to wait for a comment period to run would
be both impracticable and contrary to the public interest because it
would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to protect spectators and
vessels from the hazards associated with aerial insertions and aircraft
maneuvering, which are discussed further below.
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. For the same reasons discussed in
the preceding paragraph, waiting for 30 day notice period run would
also be impracticable and contrary to the public interest.
Basis and Purpose
Beginning at 10 a.m. on June 15, 2012, through 3:30 p.m. on June
17, 2012, there will be Marine Air Ground Task Force movement on and
over Burke Lakefront to include Recon Insertions (parachuting), and

Buffalo has determined that this temporary safety zone is necessary to
ensure the safety of participants and the boating public during the
Marine Event. This temporary safety zone will be effective from 10 a.m.

p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on June 16, 2012, and 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on June 17,
2012.
The safety zone will encompass a portion of Lake Erie and Cleveland
Harbor near Burke Lakefront Airport from position 41[deg]30'20'' N and
081[deg]42'20'' W, to 41[deg]30'50'' N and 081[deg]42'49'' W, to
41[deg]32'09'' N and 081[deg]39'49'' W, to 41[deg]31'53'' N and
081[deg]39'24'' W, then return to the original position. (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
Commander (PATCOM). Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port
Buffalo or his designated on-scene representative. Only state, federal,
and local vessels will be allowed in the safety zone. The Captain of
the Port or his designated on-scene representative may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16.

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 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
[[Page 33313]]
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be
relatively small and enforced for relatively short time. Also, the
safety zone is designed to minimize its impact on navigable waters.
Furthermore, the safety zone has been designed to allow vessels to
transit around it. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement within that
particular area 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 will 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 temporary final rule may affect the following entities, some
of which might be small entities: The owners of operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in a portion of Lake Erie and Cleveland
Harbor from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on June 15,
2012, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on June 16, 2012, and 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on
June 17, 2012.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will be enforced for approximately three hours each day in an area
with low commercial vessel traffic. Also, in the event that this
temporary safety zone affects shipping, commercial vessels may request
permission from the Captain of the Port Buffalo to transit through the
safety zone. Additionally, the Coast Guard will give advanced notice to
the public via a local Broadcast Notice to Mariners that the regulation
is in effect. Moreover, the COTP will suspend enforcement of the safety
zone if the event for which the zone is established ends earlier than
the expected time.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this 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 offer to assist small
entities in understanding this 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.
If this rule will affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance, please contact LT Christopher
Mercurio, Chief of Waterway Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Buffalo; email SectorBuffaloMarineSafety@uscg.mil; telephone 716-843-
9343. 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 affect 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 will not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
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 will 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
[[Page 33314]]
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 safety
zone. A final environmental analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination are 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 rule.
