Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the bascule span of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge (Route 73), across the Delaware River, mile 107.2, between the townships of Tacony, PA and Palmyra, NJ. The deviation is necessary to facilitate the replacement of the bridge deck. This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed to navigation position during the rehabilitation project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Burlington County Bridge Commission, who owns and operates this bascule drawbridge, has requested a temporary deviation from the current operating regulations to facilitate the resurfacing of the bridge roadway. The TaconyPalmyra Bridge (Route 73) at mile 107.2, across the Delaware River, between PA and NJ, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 50 feet above mean high water. Under the current operating schedule set out in 33 CFR 117.5 and 117.716(b): The regulation requires that the drawbridge must open promptly and fully for the passage of vessels when a request or signal to open is given, and that the opening not be delayed more than five minutes. Under this temporary deviation, the bridge will be closed-to-navigation from 9 p.m., on June 13, 2014 until 9 p.m., on June 21, 2014. Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at anytime. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies and there is no alternate route for vessels to pass this section of the Delaware River. The Coast Guard has coordinated this with the Pilots Association for the Bay and Delaware River, and will inform the users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation. Waterway traffic consists of freighters, recreational boats, tugs, and barges. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. Dated: April 9, 2014. Waverly W. Gregory, Jr., Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard District.

Interim final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its current list of recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Eighth Coast Guard District area of responsibility (AOR). This interim rule informs the public of regularly scheduled events that require additional safety measures through establishing a safety zone. Through this interim rule the current list of recurring safety zones is updated with revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take place in the Eighth Coast Guard District AOR. When these safety zones are enforced, vessel traffic is restricted from specified areas. Additionally, this one rulemaking project reduces administrative costs involved in producing a separate rule for each individual recurring safety zone and serves to provide notice of the known recurring safety zones throughout the year. DATES: This rule is effective April 22, 2014. Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before May 22, 2014.

Regulatory History and Information The Coast Guard is issuing this interim 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. This interim rule is effective upon publication without prior notice through publication in the Federal Register, but also invites comments regarding the updated list of safety zones. The Coast Guard will address all comments accordingly, whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or otherwise. Completing the full NPRM process would unnecessarily delay the effective dates for the safety zones listed to occur in April and May of 2014. This interim rule, prepared to provide the most up to date list of recurring events requiring safety zones, provides ample notice for all listed safety zones occurring after May. Additionally, these recurring events are noticed to the public through local avenues and planned on by the local communities. The current list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in the Eighth Coast Guard District AOR is published under 33 CFR 165.801. That list was created May 16, 2012 through a previous rulemaking, [77 FR 2876] and received no adverse comments. The May 2012 rulemaking established 33 CFR 165.801 creating the current comprehensive list of recurring safety zones. In addition to amending and updating the current list, this interim rule provides additional clarity by separating the events and safety zones according to each Coast Guard Sector within the Eighth District. 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 30-day notice would unnecessarily delay the safety zone effective dates for the events listed to occur in April and May of 2014, which are also noticed to the public through local avenues and are planned on by the local communities. E:\FR\FM\22APR1.SGM 22APR1 22400 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 77 / Tuesday, April 22, 2014 / Rules and Regulations C. Basis and Purpose The legal basis for the rule is 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; Public Law 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. The Coast Guard is amending and updating the safety zone regulations under 33 CFR part 165 to include the most up to date list of recurring safety zones for events held on or around navigable waters within the Eighth Coast Guard District. These events include air shows, fireworks displays, and other marine related events requiring a limited access area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current list under 33 CFR 165.801 requires amending to provide new information on existing safety zones and updating to include new safety zones expected to recur annually or biannually and to remove safety zones that are no longer required. Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone, amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone creates unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single rulemaking considerably reduces administrative overhead and provides the public with notice through publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring safety zone regulations. The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary changes necessary can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient manner. D. Discussion of the Interim Rule 33 CFR part 165 contains regulations establishing limited access areas to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and property. Section 165.801 establishes recurring safety zones to restrict vessel transit into and through specified areas to protect spectators, mariners, and other persons and property from potential hazards presented during certain events taking place in the Eighth Coast Guard District AOR. This section requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the recurring safety zone regulations in the Eighth Coast Guard District. This interim rule amends and updates Section 165.801 replacing the current Table 1 with seven separate tables, one for each Sector within the Coast Guard’s Eighth District as follows: Table 1—Sector Ohio Valley Table 2—Sector Upper Mississippi River Table 3—Houston Galveston Table 4—Corpus Christi Table 5—New Orleans Table 6—Sector Lower Mississippi River Table 7—Sector Mobile Categorizing the safety zone regulations by Sector eliminates dual numbering within the District list and then again by Sector. Listing safety zone regulations by Sector also provides easier and quicker reference to a specific regulation. Additionally, this rule adds 31 new recurring safety zones and removes 12 safety zones as follows: 26 added under the new Table 1 for Sector Ohio Valley.

Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\22APR1.SGM 22APR1 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 77 / Tuesday, April 22, 2014 / Rules and Regulations Regulatory Analyses We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders. 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 that Executive Order 12866 or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that those Orders. The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. This rule establishes safety zones limiting access to certain areas under 33 CFR 165 within the Eighth Coast Guard District. The effect of this rulemaking will not be significant because these safety zones are limited in scope and duration. Additionally, the public is given advance notification through local forms of notice, the Federal Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and thus will be able to plan operations around the safety zones in advance. Deviation from the safety zones established through this rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES Small Entities Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the safety zone areas during periods of enforcement. The safety zones will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they are limited in scope and will be in effect for short periods of time. Before the enforcement period, the Coast Guard COTP will issue maritime VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:06 Apr 21, 2014 Jkt 232001 22403 advisories widely available to waterway users. Deviation from the safety zones established through this rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this interim final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. Assistance for Small Entities Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), we offer to assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. 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 businesses. 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. 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. 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). Federalism A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for federalism. 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 or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Taking of Private Property This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights. Civil Justice Reform 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. 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. Energy Effects We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ under that order because it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211. Technical Standards The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why using these E:\FR\FM\22APR1.SGM 22APR1 22404 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 77 / Tuesday, April 22, 2014 / Rules and Regulations standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 0023.1 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 which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2– 1, paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction because it involves establishment of safety zones. An Environmental analysis and a categorical exclusion determination will be made available in the docket as indicated under ADDRESSES. List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165 Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and Waterways.

AGENCY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone during the Xterra swim, a swimming race occurring on waters of the Intracoastal Waterway in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Xterra Swim is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 4, 2014. The temporary safety zone is necessary for the safety of the swimmers, participant vessels, spectators, and the general public during the event. Persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated representative. DATES: This rule is effective on May 4, 2014. This rule will be enforced from 7:30 a.m. until 8:15 a.m. on May 4, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 22413 1. Regulatory Planning and Review 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 the Coast Guard did not receive necessary information about the event until March 6, 2014. As a result, the Coast Guard did not have sufficient time to publish an NPRM and to receive public comments prior to the event. Any delay in the effective date of this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate action is needed to minimize potential danger to the race participants, spectators and the general public. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) and for the same reasons as stated above, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. B. Basis and Purpose (a) The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard’s authority to establish regulated navigation areas and other 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; Pub. L. 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1. The purpose of the rule is to ensure the safety of the swimmers, participant vessels, spectators, and the general public during the Xterra Swim. C. Discussion of the Final Rule On Sunday, May 4, 2014, the Xterra Swim is scheduled to take place on the waters of the Intracoastal Waterway between the following two points of position and the North shore: 33°45′02″ N, 78°50′53″ W to 33°45′11″ N, 78°50′32″ W. The race will consist of an PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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. The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the following reasons: (1) The safety zone will only be enforced for a total of 45 minutes; (2) although persons and vessels may not enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone without authorization from the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated representative, they may operate in the surrounding area during the enforcement period; (3) persons and vessels may still enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone if authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated representative; and (4) the Coast Guard will provide advance notification of the safety zone to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners. 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. (1) This rule would affect the following entities, some of which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in a portion of the Intracoastal Waterway in Myrtle Beach, South E:\FR\FM\22APR1.SGM 22APR1

Safety Zones; Eighth Coast Guard District Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its current list of
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Eighth Coast
Guard District area of responsibility (AOR). This interim rule informs
the public of regularly scheduled events that require additional safety
measures through establishing a safety zone. Through this interim rule
the current list of recurring safety zones is updated with revisions,
additional events, and removal of events that no longer take place in
the Eighth Coast Guard District AOR. When these safety zones are
enforced, vessel traffic is restricted from specified areas.
Additionally, this one rulemaking project reduces administrative costs
involved in producing a separate rule for each individual recurring
safety zone and serves to provide notice of the known recurring safety
zones throughout the year.

time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.

B. Regulatory History and Information

The Coast Guard is issuing this interim 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. This interim rule is effective upon
publication without prior notice through publication in the Federal
Register, but also invites comments regarding the updated list of
safety zones. The Coast Guard will address all comments accordingly,
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or
otherwise. Completing the full NPRM process would unnecessarily delay
the effective dates for the safety zones listed to occur in April and
May of 2014. This interim rule, prepared to provide the most up to date
list of recurring events requiring safety zones, provides ample notice
for all listed safety zones occurring after May. Additionally, these
recurring events are noticed to the public through local avenues and
planned on by the local communities.
The current list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in
the Eighth Coast Guard District AOR is published under 33 CFR 165.801.
That list was created May 16, 2012 through a previous rulemaking, [77
FR 2876] and received no adverse comments. The May 2012 rulemaking
established 33 CFR 165.801 creating the current comprehensive list of
recurring safety zones. In addition to amending and updating the
current list, this interim rule provides additional clarity by
separating the events and safety zones according to each Coast Guard
Sector within the Eighth District.
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 30-day
notice would unnecessarily delay the safety zone effective dates for
the events listed to occur in April and May of 2014, which are also
noticed to the public through local avenues and are planned on by the
local communities.

[[Page 22400]]

C. Basis and Purpose

The legal basis for the rule is 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; Public Law 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. The Coast Guard is amending
and updating the safety zone regulations under 33 CFR part 165 to
include the most up to date list of recurring safety zones for events
held on or around navigable waters within the Eighth Coast Guard
District. These events include air shows, fireworks displays, and other
marine related events requiring a limited access area restricting
vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current list under 33 CFR
165.801 requires amending to provide new information on existing safety
zones and updating to include new safety zones expected to recur
annually or biannually and to remove safety zones that are no longer
required. Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone,
amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone creates unnecessary
administrative costs and burdens. This single rulemaking considerably
reduces administrative overhead and provides the public with notice
through publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring
safety zone regulations.
The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this
rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary changes
necessary can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient
manner.

D. Discussion of the Interim Rule

33 CFR part 165 contains regulations establishing limited access
areas to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and
property. Section 165.801 establishes recurring safety zones to
restrict vessel transit into and through specified areas to protect
spectators, mariners, and other persons and property from potential
hazards presented during certain events taking place in the Eighth
Coast Guard District AOR. This section requires amendment from time to
time to properly reflect the recurring safety zone regulations in the
Eighth Coast Guard District. This interim rule amends and updates
Section 165.801 replacing the current Table 1 with seven separate
tables, one for each Sector within the Coast Guard's Eighth District as
follows:

Table 1--Sector Ohio Valley
Table 2--Sector Upper Mississippi River
Table 3--Houston Galveston
Table 4--Corpus Christi
Table 5--New Orleans
Table 6--Sector Lower Mississippi River
Table 7--Sector Mobile

Categorizing the safety zone regulations by Sector eliminates dual
numbering within the District list and then again by Sector. Listing
safety zone regulations by Sector also provides easier and quicker
reference to a specific regulation.
Additionally, this rule adds 31 new recurring safety zones and
removes 12 safety zones as follows: 26 added under the new Table 1 for
Sector Ohio Valley.

Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.
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 that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under that those Orders.
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be so
minimal that a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. This rule
establishes safety zones limiting access to certain areas under 33 CFR
165 within the Eighth Coast Guard District. The effect of this
rulemaking will not be significant because these safety zones are
limited in scope and duration. Additionally, the public is given
advance notification through local forms of notice, the Federal
Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and thus will be able to plan
operations around the safety zones in advance. Deviation from the
safety zones established through this rulemaking may be requested from
the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on a case-by-case
basis.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. 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.
This rule may affect the following entities, some of which might be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the safety zone areas during periods of enforcement. The safety zones
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities because they are limited in scope and will be in effect
for short periods of time. Before the enforcement period, the Coast
Guard COTP will issue maritime advisories widely available to waterway
users. Deviation from the safety zones established through this
rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will
be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that
this interim final rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. 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 businesses. 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.
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).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.
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 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.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
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.
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.
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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these

[[Page 22404]]

standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards
(e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation;
test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems
practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 0023.1 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 which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2,
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction because it involves
establishment of safety zones. An Environmental analysis and a
categorical exclusion determination will be made available in the
docket as indicated under ADDRESSES.
