SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 26, 2013, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify V–345 in the vicinity of
Ashland, WI (78 FR 18271). Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on this proposal to
the FAA. No comments were received.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
by modifying VOR Federal airway V–
345 in the vicinity of Ashland, WI, due
to the scheduled decommissioning of
the Ashland, WI, VOR/DME. This action
removes the airway segment between
the Hayward, WI, VOR/DME and the
Ashland, WI, VOR/DME navigation
aids.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.9W signed August 8, 2012 and
effective September 15, 2012, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The VOR Federal airway listed in
this document would be subsequently
published in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;
February 26, 1979); and (3) does not
warrant preparation of a regulatory
evaluation as the anticipated impact is
so minimal. Since this is a routine
matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section
40103. Under that section, the FAA is
charged with prescribing regulations to
E:\FR\FM\11JYR1.SGM

it modifies a VOR Federal airway due to
navigation aid infrastructure changes.

USACE United States Army Corps of
Engineers
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 it is
impracticable. The Coast Guard was
made aware of this fireworks display on
June 17, 2013. An NPRM is
impracticable in the time remaining
before the event. This display presents
potential hazards associated with a
fireworks display over or on the Ohio
River and a safety zone is required to
protect persons and property on or near
the waterway during the display.
Providing notice and comment through
the NPRM process would be
impracticable as it would delay this rule
and the safety measures it provides.
For the same reasons, 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.
Providing a full 30 days notice would be
impracticable and would unnecessarily
delay the effective date of this rule.
Delaying the effective date would also
be contrary to public interest since
immediate action is necessary to protect
persons and property from potential
hazards associated with a fireworks
display on the Ohio River.
B. Basis and Purpose
A fireworks display is planned to
conclude the City of Bellevue Beach
Park Concert on July 13, 2013. This
display will feature fireworks being
launched between miles 469.4 and
470.0 on the Ohio River at Bellevue,
Kentucky. The Coast Guard determined
that a safety zone is necessary to keep
persons and property clear of any
potential hazards associated with the
launching of fireworks on or over the
waterway.
The legal basis and authorities for this
rule are found in 33 U.S.C. 1231, 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50
U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1,
6.04–6, and 160.5; Pub. L. 107–295, 116

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 26, 2013, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify V-345 in the vicinity of
Ashland, WI (78 FR 18271). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
this proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying VOR Federal airway V-345 in the vicinity of
Ashland, WI, due to the scheduled decommissioning of the Ashland, WI,
VOR/DME. This action removes the airway segment between the Hayward,
WI, VOR/DME and the Ashland, WI, VOR/DME navigation aids.
VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.9W signed August 8, 2012 and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airway
listed in this document would be subsequently published in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to
[[Page 41687]]
assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of
aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority as it modifies a VOR Federal airway due to
navigation aid infrastructure changes.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,
paragraph 311a. This airspace action consists of a modification of an
existing airway and is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
