Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 3, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register, FDA gave notice that approval
of NADA 100–556 and ANADAs 200–
435, 200–446, and 200–459, and all
supplements and amendments thereto,
is withdrawn, effective October 15,
2012. As provided in the regulatory text
of this document, the animal drug
regulations are amended to reflect these
voluntary withdrawals of approval.
Following these withdrawals of
approval, Modern Veterinary

necessary to provide for the safety of the
participants, participant vessels, and
general public on the navigable waters
of the United States during the event.
The special local regulation will
encompass the following two areas: An
event area, where non-participant
vessels are prohibited from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or
remaining within; and a spectator area,
where all vessels are permitted to
anchor.
DATES: This rule is effective and will be
enforced from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on
November 3, 2012.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this 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 all event
details until September 5, 2012. As a
E:\FR\FM\03OCR1.SGM
03OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 3, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
result, the Coast Guard did not have
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 potential danger to
the participants, participant vessels,
spectators, and the general public.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the rule is the
Coast Guard’s authority to establish
special local regulations: 33 U.S.C.
1233. The purpose of the rule is to
provide for the safety of life on
navigable waters of the United States
during the Red Bull Flugtag.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with
On November 3, 2012, Red Bull North
America is sponsoring the Red Bull
Flugtag. The event will be held on the
waters of Biscayne Bay, Miami, Florida.
The event consists of 30 participants
launching self-propelled flying
machines from a 30ft ramp to the water
below. 150 spectator vessels are
expected to attend the event.
The special local regulation will
encompass certain waters of Biscayne
Bay, Miami, Florida. The special local
regulation will be enforced from 11 a.m.
until 4 p.m. on November 3, 2012. The
special local regulation will encompass
the following two areas: (1) An event
area, where non-participant vessels are
prohibited from entering, transiting
through, anchoring in, or remaining
within; and (2) a spectator area, where
vessels are permitted to anchor. Nonparticipant persons and vessels may
request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the
event area by contacting the Captain of
the Port Miami via telephone at 305–
535–4472, or a designated
representative via VHF radio on channel
16. If authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the
event area is granted by the Captain of
the Port Miami or a designated
representative, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must
comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port Miami or a
designated representative. The Coast
Guard will provide notice of the special
local regulations by Local Notice to
Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners,
and on-scene designated
representatives.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:31 Oct 02, 2012
Jkt 229001
based on these statutes and executive
orders.
1. 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 Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders.
The economic impact of this rule is
not significant for the following reasons:
(1) The special local regulation will be
enforced for only five hours; (2)
although non-participant persons and
vessels will not be able to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the
event area without authorization from
the Captain of the Port Miami or a
designated representative, they may
operate in the surrounding area during
the enforcement period; (3) nonparticipant persons and vessels may still
enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the event area during the
enforcement period if authorized by the
Captain of the Port Miami or a
designated representative; and (4) the
Coast Guard will provide advance
notification of the special local
regulations to the local maritime
community by Local Notice to Mariners
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
2. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires federal agencies to consider the
potential impact of regulations on small
entities during rulemaking. 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 would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: the owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
a portion of Biscayne Bay from 11 a.m.
to 4 p.m. on November 3, 2012.
3. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
60303
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above.
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.
4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have
implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places or vessels.
7. 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,
E:\FR\FM\03OCR1.SGM
03OCR1
60304
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 3, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. 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.
9. 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.
conjunction with a regatta or marine
parade. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 35(b) and 34(h) of Figure 2–
1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination 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.

10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under

because immediate action is needed to minimize potential danger to the
participants, participant vessels, spectators, and the general public.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish special local regulations: 33 U.S.C. 1233. The purpose of the
rule is to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters of the
United States during the Red Bull Flugtag.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
On November 3, 2012, Red Bull North America is sponsoring the Red
Bull Flugtag. The event will be held on the waters of Biscayne Bay,
Miami, Florida. The event consists of 30 participants launching self-
propelled flying machines from a 30ft ramp to the water below. 150
spectator vessels are expected to attend the event.
The special local regulation will encompass certain waters of
Biscayne Bay, Miami, Florida. The special local regulation will be
enforced from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on November 3, 2012. The special
local regulation will encompass the following two areas: (1) An event
area, where non-participant vessels are prohibited from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within; and (2) a
spectator area, where vessels are permitted to anchor. Non-participant
persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the event area by contacting the
Captain of the Port Miami via telephone at 305-535-4472, or a
designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16. If authorization
to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the event area
is granted by the Captain of the Port Miami or a designated
representative, all persons and vessels receiving such authorization
must comply with the instructions of the Captain of the Port Miami or a
designated representative. The Coast Guard will provide notice of the
special local regulations by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice
to Mariners, and on-scene designated representatives.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.
1. 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 Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulation will be enforced
for only five hours; (2) although non-participant persons and vessels
will not be able to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the event area without authorization from the Captain of the Port Miami
or a designated representative, they may operate in the surrounding
area during the enforcement period; (3) non-participant persons and
vessels may still enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the event area during the enforcement period if authorized by the
Captain of the Port Miami or a designated representative; and (4) the
Coast Guard will provide advance notification of the special local
regulations to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
2. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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 would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in a portion of Biscayne Bay from 11
a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 3, 2012.
3. 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 rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
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.
4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
7. 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,
[[Page 60304]]
we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. 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 determined
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 rule involves a special local regulation issued in
conjunction with a regatta or marine parade. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 35(b) and 34(h) of Figure
2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination 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.
