NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Coast Guard
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 delay
would be impracticable. Immediate
action is necessary to ensure the safety
of vessels, spectators, participants, and
others in the vicinity of the marine
event on the dates and times this rule
will be in effect.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), for the same
reasons mentioned above, the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date
would be contrary to the public interest
and impracticable, since immediate
action is needed to ensure the public’s
safety.

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone
within the Lake Moovalya region of the
navigable waters of the Colorado River
in Parker, Arizona for the Blue Water
Resort and Casino Spring Classic. This
temporary safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of the
participants, crew, spectators,
participating vessels, and other vessels
and users of the waterway. Persons and
vessels are prohibited from entering
into, transiting through, or anchoring
within this safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port or
his designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from 6 a.m.
on April 5, 2013, until 6 p.m. on April
7, 2013. It will be enforced from 6 a.m.
to 6 p.m. on April 5, 6, and 7, 2013.

B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this temporary rule
is the Ports and Waterways Safety Act
which authorizes the Coast Guard to
establish safety zones (33 U.S.C 1221 et
seq.).
The Southern California Speedboat
Club is sponsoring the Blue Water
Resort and Casino Spring Classic, which
is held on the Lake Moovalya region of
the Colorado River in Parker, Arizona.
This temporary safety zone is necessary
to provide for the safety of the
participants, crew, spectators, sponsor
vessels, and other vessels and users of
the waterway. This event involves
powerboats racing along a circular
course. The size of the boats varies from
10 to 21 feet in length. Approximately
85 boats will be participating in this
event. The sponsor will provide two
patrol boats and two rescue boats to act
as river closure boats that help facilitate
the event and ensure public safety.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
safety zone that will be enforced from 6
a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 5, 2013, through
April 7, 2013. This safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of the
crews, spectators, participants, and
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
other vessels and users of the waterway.
Persons and vessels will be prohibited
from entering into, transiting through, or
anchoring with this safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port, or
his designated representative. This
temporary safety zone includes the
waters of the Colorado River between
Headgate Dam and 0.5 miles north of
the Blue Water Marina in Parker,
Arizona. Before the effective period, the
Coast Guard will publish a Local Notice
to Mariners (LNM).
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. We expect the economic impact
of this rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
This determination is based on the size
and location of the safety zone.
Commercial vessels will not be
hindered by the safety zone.
Recreational vessels may transit through
the established safety zone if authorized
to do so by the Captain of the Port or
his designated representative.
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 will 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 the Colorado River from 6
E:\FR\FM\03APR1.SGM
03APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 3, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 5, 2013, through
April 7, 2013.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons. Although the
safety zone would apply to the entire
width of the river, traffic would be
allowed to pass through the zone with
the permission of the designated
representative. Before the effective
period, the Coast Guard will publish a
Local Notice to Mariners (LNM).
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:47 Apr 02, 2013
Jkt 229001
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INTFORMATION 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,
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
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
19989
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 the
establishment of a safety zone. This rule
is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) 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.

AGENCY:
This document corrects an
error in the codification in an October
26, 2010, final rule under the Clean Air

Ohio regulations that consolidated air
quality standards in a new chapter of
rules and adjusted the rule references
accordingly in various related rules. Of
particular note is a revision that

measurements for comparison with the
particulate matter air quality standards.
EPA erroneously codified approval of
the entirety of the rule, which may be
misread as having inadvertently
approved several other provisions
which were not addressed in the
October 26, 2010 final rule, and which
EPA in separate rulemaking had
proposed to disapprove. Therefore, EPA
is correcting its action to clarify the
codification to show that only one
paragraph of this rule was approved.
This action simply makes the
codification consistent with the
approval.
This final rule is effective on
April 3, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On
October 26, 2010, EPA published a final
approval of Ohio rules consolidating the
State’s air quality standards into Ohio
Administrative Code (OAC) 3745–25
and modifying an assortment of related
rules, mostly providing test methods for
measurements used to assess attainment
of those standards, so that these related
rules would properly reference the
relocated air quality standard rules. This
action was published at 75 FR 65572 as
a direct final rule.
In codifying the approval of these
rules, EPA erroneously appeared to
approve the entirety of the modified
rules, even though in some cases only
one paragraph was addressed or
modified. OAC 3745–17–03 included
pertinent revisions in paragraph (A)
specifying test methods for the
particulate matter air quality standards.
However, OAC 3745–17–03 also
included numerous unrelated revisions
that had not been previously approved,
most notably including revisions that
EPA had proposed to disapprove (see 70
FR 36901, published June 27, 2005).
EPA’s notice of direct final rulemaking
published October 26, 2010, provided
no discussion of the issues related to the
other sections of OAC 3745–17–03,
reflecting the fact that EPA intended
only to approve and codify the revisions
in OAC 3745–17–03(A). Therefore, EPA
today is correcting the codification for
that action to indicate that only OAC
3745–17–03(A) of that rule is approved.
This makes the codification match the
approval.

Correction
In the codification published in the
Federal Register on October 26, 2010
(75 FR 65572), on page 65574 in the
second column, the paragraph
numbered (c)(138)(i)(A), erroneously
reading: ‘‘Ohio Administrative Code
Rule 3745–17–03 ‘Measurement
methods and procedures.’, effective
April 18, 2009,’’ is corrected to read:
‘‘Paragraph (A) of Ohio Administrative
Code Rule 3745–17–03, ‘Measurement
methods and procedures.’, effective
April 18, 2009.’’
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B),
provides that, when an agency for good
cause finds that notice and public
procedure are impracticable,
unnecessary or contrary to the public
interest, the agency may issue a rule
without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. EPA
has determined that there is good cause
for making today’s rule final without
prior proposal and opportunity for
comment because EPA is merely
correcting an incorrect codification in a
previous action. The corrected
codification reflects the revisions that
EPA approved in its direct final rule.
We find that this constitutes good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Thus, notice
and opportunity for public comment are
unnecessary.
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866
(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ and is therefore not subject to
review by the Office of Management and
Budget. For this reason, this action is
also not subject to Executive Order
13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355 (May
22, 2001)). Because the agency has made
a ‘‘good cause’’ finding that this action
is not subject to notice-and-comment
requirements under the Administrative
Procedures Act or any other statute as
indicated in the Supplementary
Information section above, it is not
subject to the regulatory flexibility
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections
202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L.
104–4). In addition, this action does not
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments or impose a significant
intergovernmental mandate, as
described in sections 203 and 204 of
UMRA. This rule also does not have a
substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
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 delay would be impracticable.
Immediate action is necessary to ensure the safety of vessels,
spectators, participants, and others in the vicinity of the marine
event on the dates and times this rule will be in effect.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), for the same reasons mentioned above, the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective
less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying
the effective date would be contrary to the public interest and
impracticable, since immediate action is needed to ensure the public's
safety.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this temporary rule is the Ports and Waterways
Safety Act which authorizes the Coast Guard to establish safety zones
(33 U.S.C 1221 et seq.).
The Southern California Speedboat Club is sponsoring the Blue Water
Resort and Casino Spring Classic, which is held on the Lake Moovalya
region of the Colorado River in Parker, Arizona. This temporary safety
zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the participants, crew,
spectators, sponsor vessels, and other vessels and users of the
waterway. This event involves powerboats racing along a circular
course. The size of the boats varies from 10 to 21 feet in length.
Approximately 85 boats will be participating in this event. The sponsor
will provide two patrol boats and two rescue boats to act as river
closure boats that help facilitate the event and ensure public safety.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone that will be enforced
from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 5, 2013, through April 7, 2013. This
safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the crews,
spectators, participants, and other vessels and users of the waterway.
Persons and vessels will be prohibited from entering into, transiting
through, or anchoring with this safety zone unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port, or his designated representative. This temporary
safety zone includes the waters of the Colorado River between Headgate
Dam and 0.5 miles north of the Blue Water Marina in Parker, Arizona.
Before the effective period, the Coast Guard will publish a Local
Notice to Mariners (LNM).
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. We expect the economic
impact of this rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation
is unnecessary. This determination is based on the size and location of
the safety zone. Commercial vessels will not be hindered by the safety
zone. Recreational vessels may transit through the established safety
zone if authorized to do so by the Captain of the Port or his
designated representative.
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 will 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 the Colorado River from
6
[[Page 19989]]
a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 5, 2013, through April 7, 2013.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons.
Although the safety zone would apply to the entire width of the river,
traffic would be allowed to pass through the zone with the permission
of the designated representative. Before the effective period, the
Coast Guard will publish a Local Notice to Mariners (LNM).
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
INTFORMATION 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, 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 the establishment of a safety zone.
This rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
34(g) 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.
