SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 30, 2013, the Coast Guard
published the Nontank Vessel Response
Plans and Other Response Plan
Requirements final rule, implementing
the statutory requirement for an owner
or operator of a self-propelled, nontank
vessel of 400 gross tons or greater,
which operates on the navigable waters
of the United States, to prepare and
submit an oil spill response plan to the
Coast Guard (78 FR 60100). Among
other things, this rule applied vessel
response plan requirements to nontank
vessels. Under those requirements, a
nontank vessel owner or operator needs
to prepare and submit to the Coast
Guard a nontank vessel response plan in
accordance with 33 CFR part 155,
subpart J. The content of the response
plan includes the requirement to plan
for responding to a worst-case discharge
and a substantial threat of such a
discharge. Additionally, submissions of
international Shipboard Oil Pollution
Emergency Plans (SOPEPs) for certain
U.S.-flag nontank and tank vessels
requires alignment with updated SOPEP
rules. With the exception of this
collection of information, the rule
became effective on October 30, 2013.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information until the
collection is approved by OMB.
Accordingly, the preamble to the final
rule stated that the Coast Guard would
not enforce the collection of information
requirements occurring under 33 CFR
155.5023, 155.5025, and 155.5055
through 155.5075 until the collection of
information request was approved by
OMB, and also stated that the Coast
Guard would publish a notice in the
Federal Register announcing that OMB
approved and assigned a control
number for the requirement.
The Coast Guard submitted the
information collection request to OMB
for approval in accordance with the

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
B. Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is adding
three new permanent safety zones in the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Boston
Zone. When subject to enforcement,
these permanent safety zones will
restrict vessels from portions of water
areas during certain annually recurring
marine events. These three new
permanent safety zones will ensure the
protection of the maritime public and
event participants from the hazards
associated with these annual recurring
events.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
This rule is effective December 9,
2013.

On November 9, 2011, the Coast
Guard enacted the current version of 33
CFR 165.118, which establishes several
permanent safety zones throughout
Captain of the Port Boston zone. On
June 14, 2013 the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register (78 FR 35798), proposing to
amend 33 CFR 165.118 by establishing
three new permanent safety zones. No
comments were received. No public
meeting was requested, and none was
held.
The legal basis for the temporary rule
is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 46 U.S.C.
Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191,
195; Pub. L. 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064;
and Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to define regulatory safety zones.
Recently, the Coast Guard Captain of
the Port, Sector Boston, determined that
public safety requires that a safety zone
be enforced around three maritime
events that recur annually in Captain of
the Port Boston zone. Specifically, the
Captain of the Port, Sector Boston,
determined that a safety zone is
required around the Hull Youth Football
Carnival Fireworks, the Boston Harbor
Triathlon, and the Boston Harbor
Sharkfest Swim.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes
and the Final Rule
For the reasons stated above, the
Captain of the Port, Sector Boston, is
establishing three new permanent safety
zones in 33 CFR 165.118. These new
safety zones will be listed in 33 CFR
165.118 as (6.5) Hull Youth Football
Carnival Fireworks, (8.8) The Boston
E:\FR\FM\08NOR1.SGM
08NOR1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 217 / Friday, November 8, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
Triathlon, and (9.7) Boston Harbor
Sharkfest Swim.
The Hull Youth Football Carnival
Fireworks safety zone will consist of all
waters within a 450-foot radius around
the fireworks barge, which will be
located at position 42°16.6′ N, 070°51.7′
W. This safety zone will be enforced
between 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. on the
third or fourth weekend of June each
year.
The Boston Triathlon safety zone will
consist of all waters of Boston Inner
Harbor within the following points:
from 42°21.7′ N, 071°02.1′ W to 42°21.6′
N, 071°02.8′ W to 42°21.7′ N, 071°02.8′
W and then to 42°21.8′ N, 071°02.4′ W.
This safety zone will be enforced
between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on the
second or third weekend of August each
year.
The Boston Harbor Sharkfest Swim
will consist of all waters of Boston Inner
Harbor within the following points:
from 42°21.7′ N, 071°02.1′ W to 42°21.8′
N, 071°02.4′ W to 42°21.3′ N, 071°02.9′
W and then to 42°21.3′ N, 071°02.3′ W.
This safety zone will be enforced
between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on a
Saturday during the second or third
weekend of September each year.
2. Impact on Small Entities
D. Regulatory Analyses
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 you believe
that this 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.
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.
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD 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) Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that
Order.
The Coast Guard has determined that
this rule is not a significant regulatory
action for the following reasons: The
three new safety zones established by
this rule will be enforced for relatively
short periods. Also, vessels may enter or
pass through the affected waterway with
the appropriate permission.
Additionally, notification of the safety
zone will be made to mariners through
the local Notice to Mariners and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in
advance of enforcement.

Jkt 232001
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
entitles 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 final rule would
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities. This final rule would affect the
following entities, some of which might
be small entities: owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit, fish, or
anchor in the areas where the listed
annual recurring events are being held.
The final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the same
reasons outlined in the Regulatory
Planning and Review section above. The
Coast Guard received no comments from
the Small Business Administration
about this rule.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
67029
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on 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 it 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 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.
4. Collection of Information
10. Protection of Children From
Environmental Health Risks
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.
This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 217 / Friday, November 8, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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 concluded 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 three new permanent
safety zones and thus, is categorically
excluded from further review under,
paragraph 34(g) of figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist 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.

Extension of Deadline for Action on
the Section 126 Petition From Eliot,
Maine
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In this action, the EPA is
determining that 60 days is insufficient
time to complete the technical and other
analyses and public notice-andcomment process required for our
review of a petition submitted by the
Town of Eliot, Maine pursuant to
section 126 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
The petition requests that the EPA make
a finding that Schiller Station in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire is emitting
or would emit air pollutants that
contribute significantly to
nonattainment and interfere with
maintenance of the 1-hour sulfur
dioxide (SO2) national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS). Under the
section 307(d)(10) of CAA, the EPA is
authorized to grant a time extension for
responding to the petition if the EPA
determines that the extension is
necessary to afford the public, and the
agency, adequate opportunity to carry
out the purposes of section 307(d)’s
notice-and-comment rulemaking
requirements. By this action, the EPA is
making that determination. The EPA is
therefore extending the deadline for
acting on the petition to no later than
May 8, 2014.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
November 8, 2013.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0671. All
documents in the docket are listed on
the www.regulations.gov Web site.
Publicly available docket materials are

I. Background and Legal Requirements
for Interstate Air Pollution
This is a procedural action to extend
the deadline for the EPA to respond to
a petition from the Town of Eliot, Maine
filed under CAA section 126(b). The
EPA received the petition on September
3, 2013. The petition requests that the
EPA make a finding under section
126(b) of the CAA that two 50 MW coalfired electricity generating units at
Schiller Station in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire are emitting air pollutants in
violation of the provisions of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the CAA with
respect to the 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.
Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the CAA
prohibits emissions of any air pollutant
in amounts which will contribute
significantly to nonattainment in, or
interfere with maintenance by, any
other state with respect to any NAAQS.
The petition asserts that emissions from
Schiller Station impact Eliot’s ability to
attain and maintain the 1-hour SO2
NAAQS and that this impact would be
mitigated by regulation of SO2
emissions from the plant. Section 126(b)
of the CAA authorizes states or political
subdivisions to petition the EPA to find
that a major source or group of
stationary sources in upwind states
emits or would emit any air pollutant in
violation of the prohibition of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i) 1 by contributing
significantly to nonattainment or
maintenance problems in downwind
states.
Under section 126(b), the EPA must
make the finding requested in the
petition, or must deny the petition
within 60 days of its receipt. Under
section 126(c), any existing sources for
which the EPA makes the requested
finding must cease operations within 3
months of the finding, except that the
source may continue to operate if it
complies with emission limitations and
compliance schedules (containing
increments of progress) that the EPA
1 The text of section 126 codified in the United
States Code cross references section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii)
instead of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i). The courts have
confirmed that this is a scrivener’s error and the
correct cross reference is to section 110(a)(2)(D)(i).
See Appalachian Power Co. v. EPA, 249 F.3d 1032,

may provide to bring about compliance
with the applicable requirements as
expeditiously as practical but no later
than 3 years from the date of the
finding.
Section 126(b) further provides that
the EPA must hold a public hearing on
the petition. The EPA’s action under
section 126 is also subject to the
procedural requirements of CAA section
307(d). See section 307(d)(1)(N). One of
these requirements is notice-andcomment rulemaking, under section
307(d)(3)–(6).
In addition, section 307(d)(10)
provides for a time extension, under
certain circumstances, for rulemaking
subject to section 307(d). Specifically,
section 307(d)(10) provides:
Each statutory deadline for promulgation
of rules to which this subsection applies
which requires promulgation less than six
months after date of proposal may be
extended to not more than six months after
date of proposal by the Administrator upon
a determination that such extension is
necessary to afford the public, and the
agency, adequate opportunity to carry out the
purposes of the subsection.
Section 307(d)(10) may be applied to
section 126 rulemakings because the
60-day time limit under section 126(b)
necessarily limits the period for
promulgation of a final rule after
proposal to less than 6 months.
II. Final Rule
A. Rule
In accordance with section 307(d)(10),
the EPA is determining that the 60-day
period afforded by section 126(b) for
responding to the petition from the
Town of Eliot is not adequate to allow
the public and the agency the
opportunity to carry out the purposes of
section 307(d). Specifically, the 60-day
period is insufficient for the EPA to
complete the necessary technical
review, develop an adequate proposal
and allow time for notice and comment,
including an opportunity for public
hearing, on a proposed finding
regarding whether Schiller Station
identified in the section 126 petition
contributes significantly to
nonattainment or maintenance problems
in Eliot, Maine. Moreover, the 60-day
period is insufficient for the EPA to
review and develop response to any
public comments on a proposed finding,
or testimony supplied at a public
hearing and to develop and promulgate
a final finding in response to the
petition. The EPA has not yet
established a proposal date for this
action. The schedule must afford the
EPA adequate time to prepare a
proposal that clearly elucidates the

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
On November 9, 2011, the Coast Guard enacted the current version of
33 CFR 165.118, which establishes several permanent safety zones
throughout Captain of the Port Boston zone. On June 14, 2013 the Coast
Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register (78 FR 35798), proposing to amend 33 CFR 165.118 by
establishing three new permanent safety zones. No comments were
received. No public meeting was requested, and none was held.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; Pub. L. 107-295,
116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define
regulatory safety zones.
Recently, the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, Sector Boston,
determined that public safety requires that a safety zone be enforced
around three maritime events that recur annually in Captain of the Port
Boston zone. Specifically, the Captain of the Port, Sector Boston,
determined that a safety zone is required around the Hull Youth
Football Carnival Fireworks, the Boston Harbor Triathlon, and the
Boston Harbor Sharkfest Swim.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule
For the reasons stated above, the Captain of the Port, Sector
Boston, is establishing three new permanent safety zones in 33 CFR
165.118. These new safety zones will be listed in 33 CFR 165.118 as
(6.5) Hull Youth Football Carnival Fireworks, (8.8) The Boston
[[Page 67029]]
Triathlon, and (9.7) Boston Harbor Sharkfest Swim.
The Hull Youth Football Carnival Fireworks safety zone will consist
of all waters within a 450-foot radius around the fireworks barge,
which will be located at position 42[deg]16.6[min] N, 070[deg]51.7[min]
W. This safety zone will be enforced between 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
on the third or fourth weekend of June each year.
The Boston Triathlon safety zone will consist of all waters of
Boston Inner Harbor within the following points: from 42[deg]21.7[min]
N, 071[deg]02.1[min] W to 42[deg]21.6[min] N, 071[deg]02.8[min] W to
42[deg]21.7[min] N, 071[deg]02.8[min] W and then to 42[deg]21.8[min] N,
071[deg]02.4[min] W. This safety zone will be enforced between 7:00
a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on the second or third weekend of August each year.
The Boston Harbor Sharkfest Swim will consist of all waters of
Boston Inner Harbor within the following points: from 42[deg]21.7[min]
N, 071[deg]02.1[min] W to 42[deg]21.8[min] N, 071[deg]02.4[min] W to
42[deg]21.3[min] N, 071[deg]02.9[min] W and then to 42[deg]21.3[min] N,
071[deg]02.3[min] W. This safety zone will be enforced between 10:00
a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on a Saturday during the second or third weekend of
September each year.
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. 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) Executive Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under that Order.
The Coast Guard has determined that this rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the following reasons: The three new safety zones
established by this rule will be enforced for relatively short periods.
Also, vessels may enter or pass through the affected waterway with the
appropriate permission. Additionally, notification of the safety zone
will be made to mariners through the local Notice to Mariners and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in advance of enforcement.
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 entitles 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 final
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This final rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where the
listed annual recurring events are being held. The final rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities for the same reasons outlined in the Regulatory Planning and
Review section above. The Coast Guard received no comments from the
Small Business Administration about this rule.
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 you believe that this 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 calls for no 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 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 it 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 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 From Environmental Health Risks
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
[[Page 67030]]
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 concluded
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 three new
permanent safety zones and thus, is categorically excluded from further
review under, paragraph 34(g) of figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist 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.
