James M. Schoonmaker Relocation Project, Maumee River, Toledo, OH Coast Guard, DHS. Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary Safety Zone on the waters of Maumee River, Toledo, Ohio, in support of the relocation of S/S Col. James M. Schoonmaker (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Schoonmaker’). This temporary safety zone will encompass all waters of the Maumee River within a 100 yard radius of the Schoonmaker as it makes its transit from International Park to Skyway Marina. This temporary Safety Zone is necessary to protect persons operating around the area. DATES: This regulation is effective from 10:00 a.m. on October 27, 2012 until 4:00 p.m. on November 3, 2012. ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket, are part of docket USCG–2012–0939 and are available online by going to https:// www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG– 2011–0195 in the ‘‘Keyword’’ box, and then clicking ‘‘Search.’’ This material is also available for inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility (M– 30), U.S. Department of Transportation, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:04 Oct 22, 2012 Jkt 229001 If you have questions on this rule, call or email LT Mallorie Schell, Prevention Department, MSU Toledo, Coast Guard; telephone (419) 418–6030, email Mallorie.G.Schell@uscg.mil. If you have questions on viewing or submitting material to the docket, call Renee V. Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 202–366–9826. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A. Regulatory History and 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 doing so would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. Although the Coast Guard has known about the relocation of the Schoonmaker for several weeks, only recently did the Coast Guard become aware of an expected high volume of spectator vessel traffic. Consequently, the need for this safety zone was not identified until there was insufficient time to allow a full comment period to run. Thus, waiting for a comment period to run prior to enforcing this safety zone would inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability to protect the public and vessels from the hazards associated with the heightened spectator activity associated with the relocation of the Schoonmaker. 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 above about not publishing an NPRM, the Coast Guard finds that waiting for a 30 day notice period to run would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. B. Basis and Purpose The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard’s authority to establish regulated navigation areas and limited access areas: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, 160.5; Pub. L. 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1. The Great Lakes Historical Society (GLHS) is relocating the Schoonmaker from International Park to Skyway Marina. This relocation is scheduled for October 27, 2012. If the relocation of the vessel on October 27 is cancelled for any reason, this safety zone will be effective and enforced from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on October 28, 2012. Likewise, if relocation on October 28th is cancelled, this safety zone will be effective and enforced from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on November 3, 2012. In light of the expected volume of spectator activity, the Captain of the Port Detroit has determined that this operation could pose certain public hazards, such as the increased risk of collisions. C. Discussion of Rule With aforementioned hazards in mind, the Captain of the Port Detroit has determined that a safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of participants and vessels during the operation. The temporary safety zone established herein will be effective and enforced from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on October 27, 2012. If the relocation of the vessel on October 27 is cancelled for any reason, this safety zone will be effective and enforced from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on October 28, 2012. Likewise, if relocation on October 28 is cancelled, this safety zone will be effective and enforced from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on November 3, 2012. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Detroit or his designated on scene representative. The Captain of the Port, Sector Detroit or his designated on scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16. All persons and vessels allowed to enter the safety zone shall comply with the instructions of the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, designated on scene patrol personnel, or operation personnel. 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 or executive orders. 1.

\1\ The Agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 that this action is categorically excluded (CE) from the requirement to submit an EA or an
  environmental impact statement (EIS) because it is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
  environment.
\2\ Based on its review of an EA submitted by the sponsor, the Agency has concluded that this action will not have a significant impact on the human
  environment and that an EIS is not required. A FONSI has been prepared.

    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.'' 
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements 
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

    (A) Indications for use. For increased rate of weight gain and 
improved feed efficiency when fed for at least 4 weeks.

during the growing-finishing period as the sole ration. No increased 
benefit in rate of weight gain has been shown when narasin 
concentrations in the diet are greater than 13.6 g/ton. Effectiveness 
has not been demonstrated when fed for durations less than 4 weeks. Do 
not allow adult turkeys, horses, or other equines access to narasin 
formulations. Ingestion of narasin by these species has been fatal. Not
