SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:54 Sep 09, 2013
Jkt 229001
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 with
respect to this rule because doing so
would be impracticable and contrary to
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
55219
the public interest. The final details for
this event were not known to the Coast
Guard until there was insufficient time
remaining before the event to publish an
NPRM. Thus, delaying the effective date
of this rule to wait for a comment period
to run would be both impracticable and
contrary to the public interest because it
would inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability
to protect participants, spectators and
vessels from the hazards associated with
this marine event, which are discussed
further below.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this temporary rule effective less
than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register for the same reasons
discussed in the preceding paragraph,
delaying the effect date of this rule past
September 21, 2013, 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,
195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6,
160.5; Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat.
2064; Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1.
An annual flying machine
competition event has been scheduled
by a commercial entity to take place
from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on September
21, 2013, in Chicago, IL. This event is
expected to involve personally-crafted
flying machines with human occupants,
falling from a raised platform into Lake
Michigan. The Coast Guard anticipates
a large number of spectators to
congregate close to the platform during
the event. The Captain of the Port, Lake
Michigan, has determined that this
marine event will pose a significant risk
to public safety and property. Such
hazards include falling debris, and
collisions between spectators, falling
water craft, and their human occupants.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
With the aforementioned hazards in
mind, the Captain of the Port, Lake
Michigan, has determined that this
temporary safety zone is necessary to
ensure the safety of participants,
spectators, and vessels during the flying
machine competition event on Lake
Michigan in the vicinity of Burnham
Park. This safety zone will be effective
and enforced from 10:30 a.m. until 4
p.m. on September 21, 2013. This safety
zone will encompass a portion of Lake
Michigan, beginning at a point
approximately 1000 feet to the
E:\FR\FM\10SER1.SGM
10SER1
55220
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
northwest of Burnham Park in Chicago,
IL. This safety zone will extend
approximately 260 feet from shore into
Lake Michigan and will measure
approximately 670 feet across. The
specific coordinates are listed below in
33 CFR 165.T09–0685(a).
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring
within the safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port, Lake Michigan, or his designated
on-scene representative. The Captain of
the Port or his designated on-scene
representative may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16.
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.
rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES
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. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
We conclude that this rule is not a
significant regulatory action because we
anticipate that it will have minimal
impact on the economy, will not
interfere with other agencies, will not
adversely alter the budget of any grant
or loan recipients, and will not raise any
novel legal or policy issues. The safety
zone created by this rule will only
impact a small area and will be enforced
for only a short duration on one day in
September, 2013. Under certain
conditions, moreover, vessels may still
transit through the safety zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port or
his designated on-scene 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 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:54 Sep 09, 2013
Jkt 229001
which might be small entities: the
owners or operators of vessels intending
to transit or anchor in a portion of Lake
Michigan, Chicago, IL on September 21,
2013.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the reasons cited in the Regulatory
Planning and Review section. Traffic
may be allowed to pass through the
zone with the permission of the Captain
of the Port, or his designated on-scene
representative. Additionally, before the
enforcement of the zone, we would
issue local Broadcast Notice to Mariners
so vessel owners and operators can plan
accordingly.
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 section, 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,
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
E:\FR\FM\10SER1.SGM
10SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2013 / Rules and 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 and,
therefore it 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.

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

safety zone will encompass a portion of Lake Michigan, beginning at a
point approximately 1000 feet to the
[[Page 55220]]
northwest of Burnham Park in Chicago, IL. This safety zone will extend
approximately 260 feet from shore into Lake Michigan and will measure
approximately 670 feet across. The specific coordinates are listed
below in 33 CFR 165.T09-0685(a).
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Lake Michigan,
or his designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or
his designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel
16.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and

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. It is not
``significant'' under the regulatory policies and procedures of the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will only
impact a small area and will be enforced for only a short duration on
one day in September, 2013. Under certain conditions, moreover, vessels
may still transit through the safety zone when permitted by the Captain
of the Port or his designated on-scene 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 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 Lake Michigan, Chicago, IL on September 21,
2013.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons cited in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section. Traffic may be allowed to pass
through the zone with the permission of the Captain of the Port, or his
designated on-scene representative. Additionally, before the
enforcement of the zone, we would issue local Broadcast Notice to
Mariners so vessel owners and operators can plan accordingly.
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
section, 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, 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
[[Page 55221]]
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 and,
therefore it 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.
