disclose information which would
constitute an unwarranted invasion of
another’s personal privacy; reveal a
sensitive investigative or intelligence
technique; or constitute a potential
danger to the health or safety of law
enforcement personnel, confidential
informants, and witnesses. Amendment
of these records would interfere with
ongoing counterterrorism, law
enforcement, or intelligence
investigations and analysis activities
and impose an impossible
administrative burden by requiring
investigations, analyses, and reports to
be continuously reinvestigated and
revised.
(D) From subsection (e)(1) because it
is not always possible for NGA or other
agencies to know in advance what
information is both relevant and
necessary for it to complete an identity
comparison between individuals and a
known or suspected terrorist. In
addition, because NGA and other
agencies may not always know what
information about an encounter with a
known or suspected terrorist will be
relevant to law enforcement for the
purpose of conducting an operational
response.
(E) From subsection (e)(2) because
application of this provision could
present a serious impediment to
counterterrorism, law enforcement, or
intelligence efforts in that it would put
the subject of an investigation, study or
analysis on notice of that fact, thereby
permitting the subject to engage in
conduct designed to frustrate or impede
that activity. The nature of
counterterrorism, law enforcement, or
intelligence investigations is such that
vital information about an individual
frequently can be obtained only from
other persons who are familiar with
such individual and his/her activities.
In such investigations, it is not feasible
to rely upon information furnished by
the individual concerning his own
activities.
(F) From subsection (e)(3), to the
extent that this subsection is interpreted
to require NGA to provide notice to an
individual if NGA or another agency
receives or collects information about
that individual during an investigation
or from a third party. Should the
subsection be so interpreted, exemption
from this provision is necessary to avoid
impeding counterterrorism, law
enforcement, or intelligence efforts by
putting the subject of an investigation,
study or analysis on notice of that fact,
thereby permitting the subject to engage
in conduct intended to frustrate or
impede that activity.
(G) From subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H)
(Agency Requirements) and (f) (Agency
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:51 May 30, 2013
Jkt 229001
Rules), because this system is exempt
from the access provisions of 5 U.S.C.
552a(d).
(H) From subsection (e)(5) because
many of the records in this system
coming from other system of records are
derived from other agency record
systems and therefore it is not possible
for NGA to ensure their compliance
with this provision, however, NGA has
implemented internal quality assurance
procedures to ensure that data used in
the matching process is as thorough,
accurate, and current as possible. In
addition, in the collection of
information for law enforcement,
counterterrorism, and intelligence
purposes, it is impossible to determine
in advance what information is
accurate, relevant, timely, and complete.
With the passage of time, seemingly
irrelevant or untimely information may
acquire new significance as further
investigation brings new details to light.
The restrictions imposed by (e)(5)
would limit the ability of those
agencies’ trained investigators and
intelligence analysts to exercise their
judgment in conducting investigations
and impede the development of
intelligence necessary for effective law
enforcement and counterterrorism
efforts. However, NGA has implemented
internal quality assurance procedures to
ensure that the data used in the
matching process is as thorough,
accurate, and current as possible.
(I) From subsection (e)(8) because to
require individual notice of disclosure
of information due to compulsory legal
process would pose an impossible
administrative burden on NGA and
other agencies and could alert the
subjects of counterterrorism, law
enforcement, or intelligence
investigations to the fact of those
investigations when not previously
known.
(J) From subsection (f) (Agency Rules)
because portions of this system are
exempt from the access and amendment
provisions of subsection (d).
(K) From subsection (g) to the extent
that the system is exempt from other
specific subsections of the Privacy Act.

in order to protect mariners from the
hazards associated with air show events.
DATES: This rule is effective from June
6, 2013, at 10 a.m. until June 9, 2013,
at 4 p.m. This rule will be enforced from
10 a.m. until 4 p.m. daily between June

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
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
final details of the event were not made
known until recently. Therefore,
publishing an NPRM would be
impracticable since immediate action is
needed to provide for the safety of life
and property on navigable waters.
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. Delaying the effective date
would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest since immediate
action is needed to ensure the safety of
the event participants, spectator craft,
and other vessels transiting the event
area.
B. Basis and Purpose
From June 6, 2013, until June 9, 2013,
Ocean City, MD will host an air show
event between Talbot Street and 33rd
Street over the Atlantic Ocean in Ocean
City, MD. In recent years, there have
been unfortunate instances of jets and
planes crashing during performances at
air shows. In addition, there is typically
a wide area of scattered debris that also
damages property and could cause
significant injury or death to mariners
observing the air shows. In order to
protect mariners and the public
transiting the Atlantic Ocean
immediately below the air show from
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:51 May 30, 2013
Jkt 229001
hazards associated with the air show,
the Coast Guard is establishing a safety
zone.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
safety zone on specified waters of the
Atlantic Ocean bounded by the
following coordinates: 38°,21′,38″ N/
075°,04′,04″ W, 38°,21′,27″ N/
075°,03′,29″ W, 38°,19′,35″ N/
075°,04′,19″ W, 38°,19′,45″ N/
075°,04′,54″ W (NAD 1983) in the
vicinity of Ocean City, MD. This safety
zone is effective from 10 a.m. on June
6, 2013, until 4 p.m. on June 9, 2013,
and will be enforced daily between the
hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Access to
the safety zone will be restricted during
the specified date and times. No person
or vessel may enter or remain in the
safety zone except for vessels authorized
by the Captain of the Port or his
Representative.
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 proposed rule to be so minimal that
a full Regulatory Evaluation is
unnecessary. Although this proposed
regulation restricts access to the safety
zone, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because: (i) The safety zone
will be in effect for a limited duration;
(ii) the zone is of limited size; and (iii)
the Coast Guard will make notifications
via maritime advisories so mariners can
adjust their plans accordingly.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
32557
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
because the zone will only be in place
for a limited duration and maritime
advisories will be issued allowing the
mariners to adjust their plans
accordingly.
This 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
that portion of the Atlantic Ocean from
June 6, 2013, until June 9, 2013,
between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
each day.
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
E:\FR\FM\31MYR1.SGM
31MYR1
32558
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 105 / Friday, May 31, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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,
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.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:51 May 30, 2013
Jkt 229001
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 on the
navigable waters of the Atlantic Ocean
in Ocean City, MD in order to restrict
vessel traffic movement to protect
mariners from the hazards associated
with air show events. 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
will be available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.

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 final details of the event were
not made known until recently. Therefore, publishing an NPRM would be
impracticable since immediate action is needed to provide for the
safety of life and property on navigable waters.
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. Delaying the effective date would
be impracticable and contrary to the public interest since immediate
action is needed to ensure the safety of the event participants,
spectator craft, and other vessels transiting the event area.
B. Basis and Purpose
From June 6, 2013, until June 9, 2013, Ocean City, MD will host an
air show event between Talbot Street and 33rd Street over the Atlantic
Ocean in Ocean City, MD. In recent years, there have been unfortunate
instances of jets and planes crashing during performances at air shows.
In addition, there is typically a wide area of scattered debris that
also damages property and could cause significant injury or death to
mariners observing the air shows. In order to protect mariners and the
public transiting the Atlantic Ocean immediately below the air show
from hazards associated with the air show, the Coast Guard is
establishing a safety zone.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone on specified waters
of the Atlantic Ocean bounded by the following coordinates:
38[deg],21',38'' N/075[deg],04',04'' W, 38[deg],21',27'' N/
075[deg],03',29'' W, 38[deg],19',35'' N/075[deg],04',19'' W,
38[deg],19',45'' N/075[deg],04',54'' W (NAD 1983) in the vicinity of
Ocean City, MD. This safety zone is effective from 10 a.m. on June 6,
2013, until 4 p.m. on June 9, 2013, and will be enforced daily between
the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Access to the safety zone will be
restricted during the specified date and times. No person or vessel may
enter or remain in the safety zone except for vessels authorized by the
Captain of the Port or his Representative.
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 proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. Although this
proposed regulation restricts access to the safety zone, the effect of
this rule will not be significant because: (i) The safety zone will be
in effect for a limited duration; (ii) the zone is of limited size; and
(iii) the Coast Guard will make notifications via maritime advisories
so mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.
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 because the zone will only be in place for a limited
duration and maritime advisories will be issued allowing the mariners
to adjust their plans accordingly.
This 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 that portion of the Atlantic Ocean from June 6,
2013, until June 9, 2013, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. each
day.
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
[[Page 32558]]
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, 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 on
the navigable waters of the Atlantic Ocean in Ocean City, MD in order
to restrict vessel traffic movement to protect mariners from the
hazards associated with air show events. 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 will be
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
