known or suspected terrorist. In
addition, because NGA and other
agencies may not always know what
information about an encounter with a
known or suspected terrorist will be
relevant to law enforcement for the
purpose of conducting an operational
response.
(E) From subsection (e)(2) because
application of this provision could
present a serious impediment to
counterterrorism, law enforcement, or
intelligence efforts in that it would put
the subject of an investigation, study or
analysis on notice of that fact, thereby
permitting the subject to engage in
conduct designed to frustrate or impede
that activity. The nature of
counterterrorism, law enforcement, or
intelligence investigations is such that
vital information about an individual
frequently can be obtained only from
other persons who are familiar with
such individual and his/her activities.
In such investigations, it is not feasible
to rely upon information furnished by
the individual concerning his own
activities.
(F) From subsection (e)(3), to the
extent that this subsection is interpreted
to require NGA to provide notice to an
individual if NGA or another agency
receives or collects information about
that individual during an investigation
or from a third party. Should the
subsection be so interpreted, exemption
from this provision is necessary to avoid
impeding counterterrorism, law
enforcement, or intelligence efforts by
putting the subject of an investigation,
study or analysis on notice of that fact,
thereby permitting the subject to engage
in conduct intended to frustrate or
impede that activity.
(G) From subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H)
and (I) (Agency Requirements) and (f)
(Agency Rules), because this system is
exempt from the access provisions of 5
U.S.C. 552a(d).
(H) From subsection (e)(5) because
many of the records in this system
coming from other system of records are
derived from other agency record
systems and therefore it is not possible
for NGA to ensure their compliance
with this provision, however, NGA has
implemented internal quality assurance
procedures to ensure that data used in
the matching process is as thorough,
accurate, and current as possible. In
addition, in the collection of
information for law enforcement,
counterterrorism, and intelligence
purposes, it is impossible to determine
in advance what information is
accurate, relevant, timely, and complete.
With the passage of time, seemingly
irrelevant or untimely information may
acquire new significance as further

investigation brings new details to light.
The restrictions imposed by (e)(5)
would limit the ability of those
agencies’ trained investigators and
intelligence analysts to exercise their
judgment in conducting investigations
and impede the development of
intelligence necessary for effective law
enforcement and counterterrorism
efforts. However, NGA has implemented
internal quality assurance procedures to
ensure that the data used in the
matching process is as thorough,
accurate, and current as possible.
(I) From subsection (e)(8) because to
require individual notice of disclosure
of information due to compulsory legal
process would pose an impossible
administrative burden on NGA and
other agencies and could alert the
subjects of counterterrorism, law
enforcement, or intelligence
investigations to the fact of those
investigations when not previously
known.
(J) From subsection (f) (Agency Rules)
because portions of this system are
exempt from the access and amendment
provisions of subsection (d).
(K) From subsection (g) to the extent
that the system is exempt from other
specific subsections of the Privacy Act.

Safety Zone: Tiburon’s 50th
Anniversary Fireworks, San Francisco
Bay, Tiburon, CA
Coast Guard, DHS.
Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone in
the navigable waters of the San
Francisco Bay near Point Tiburon in
support of the Town of Tiburon’s 50th
Anniversary Fireworks celebration on
May 30, 2014. This safety zone is
established to ensure the safety of
participants and spectators from the
dangers associated with pyrotechnics.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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(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. The Coast Guard received the
information about the fireworks display
on March 7, 2014, and the fireworks
display would occur before the
rulemaking process would be
completed. Because of the dangers
E:\FR\FM\07MYR1.SGM
07MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 88 / Wednesday, May 7, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
posed by the pyrotechnics used in this
fireworks display, the safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of
event participants, spectators, spectator
craft, and other vessels transiting the
event area. For the safety concerns
noted, it is in the public interest to have
these regulations in effect during the
event.

B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the proposed 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, 160.5; Public
Law 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064;
Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to establish safety zones.
The Town of Tiburon will sponsor
Tiburon’s 50th Anniversary Fireworks
on May 30, 2014, near Point Tiburon in
Tiburon, CA in approximate position
37°52′09″ N, 122°27′03″ W (NAD83) as
depicted in National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Chart 18653. This safety zone
establishes a temporary restricted area
on the waters 100 feet surrounding the
fireworks barge during the loading,
transit and arrival of the pyrotechnics
from the loading site to the launch site
and until the commencement of the
fireworks display. Upon the
commencement of the fireworks
display, the safety zone will increase in
size and encompass the navigable
waters around the fireworks barge
within a radius of 560 feet. The
fireworks display is meant for
entertainment purposes. This restricted
area around the fireworks barge is
necessary to protect spectators, vessels,
and other property from the hazards
associated with pyrotechnics.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Coast Guard will enforce a safety
zone in navigable waters around and
under a fireworks barge within a radius
of 100 feet during the loading, transit,
and arrival of the fireworks barge to the
display location and until the start of
the fireworks display. From 11 a.m.
until 7:30 p.m. on May 30, 2014, the
fireworks barge will be loading
pyrotechnics at Pier 50 in San
Francisco, CA. From 7:30 p.m. to 8:30
p.m. on May 30, 2014 the loaded
fireworks barge will transit from Pier 50
to the launch site near Point Tiburon in
approximate position 37°52′09″ N,
122°27′03″ W (NAD 83) where it will
remain until the commencement of the
fireworks display. Upon the
commencement of the 30 minute
fireworks display, scheduled to begin at
9:15 p.m. on May 30, 2014, the safety
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:20 May 06, 2014
Jkt 232001

zone will increase in size and
encompass the navigable waters around
and under the fireworks barge within a
radius of 560 feet in approximate
position 37°52′09″ N, 122°27′03″ W
(NAD 83) for Tiburon’s 50th
Anniversary Fireworks. At the
conclusion of the fireworks display the
safety zone shall terminate.
The effect of the temporary safety
zone will be to restrict navigation in the
vicinity of the launch site until the
conclusion of the scheduled display.
Except for persons or vessels authorized
by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander,
no person or vessel may enter or remain
in the restricted area. These regulations
are needed to keep spectators and
vessels away from the immediate
vicinity of the launch site to ensure the
safety of participants, spectators, and
transiting vessels.
‘‘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 owners and
operators of waterfront facilities,
commercial vessels, and pleasure craft
engaged in recreational activities and
sightseeing. This safety zone would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons. This safety
zone would be activated, and thus
subject to enforcement, for a limited
duration. When the safety zone is
activated, vessel traffic could pass safely
around the safety zone. The maritime
public will be advised in advance of this
safety zone via Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.
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.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders.
We expect the economic impact of
this rule will not rise to the level of
necessitating a full Regulatory
Evaluation. The safety zone is limited in
duration, and is limited to a narrowly
tailored geographic area. In addition,
although this rule restricts access to the
waters encompassed by the safety zone,
the effect of this rule will not be
significant because the local waterway
users will be notified via public
Broadcast Notice to Mariners to ensure
the safety zone will result in minimum
impact. The entities most likely to be
affected are waterfront facilities,
commercial vessels, and pleasure craft
engaged in recreational activities.
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

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

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 88 / Wednesday, May 7, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
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.

(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 a safety
zone of limited size and duration. This
rule is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2–1 of the Commandant

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
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(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. The Coast Guard received the
information about the fireworks display on March 7, 2014, and the
fireworks display would occur before the rulemaking process would be
completed. Because of the dangers
[[Page 26123]]
posed by the pyrotechnics used in this fireworks display, the safety
zone is necessary to provide for the safety of event participants,
spectators, spectator craft, and other vessels transiting the event
area. For the safety concerns noted, it is in the public interest to
have these regulations in effect during the event.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the proposed 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, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize
the Coast Guard to establish safety zones.
The Town of Tiburon will sponsor Tiburon's 50th Anniversary
Fireworks on May 30, 2014, near Point Tiburon in Tiburon, CA in
approximate position 37[deg]52'09'' N, 122[deg]27'03'' W (NAD83) as
depicted in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Chart 18653. This safety zone establishes a temporary restricted area
on the waters 100 feet surrounding the fireworks barge during the
loading, transit and arrival of the pyrotechnics from the loading site
to the launch site and until the commencement of the fireworks display.
Upon the commencement of the fireworks display, the safety zone will
increase in size and encompass the navigable waters around the
fireworks barge within a radius of 560 feet. The fireworks display is
meant for entertainment purposes. This restricted area around the
fireworks barge is necessary to protect spectators, vessels, and other
property from the hazards associated with pyrotechnics.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone in navigable waters
around and under a fireworks barge within a radius of 100 feet during
the loading, transit, and arrival of the fireworks barge to the display
location and until the start of the fireworks display. From 11 a.m.
until 7:30 p.m. on May 30, 2014, the fireworks barge will be loading
pyrotechnics at Pier 50 in San Francisco, CA. From 7:30 p.m. to 8:30
p.m. on May 30, 2014 the loaded fireworks barge will transit from Pier
50 to the launch site near Point Tiburon in approximate position
37[deg]52'09'' N, 122[deg]27'03'' W (NAD 83) where it will remain until
the commencement of the fireworks display. Upon the commencement of the
30 minute fireworks display, scheduled to begin at 9:15 p.m. on May 30,
2014, the safety zone will increase in size and encompass the navigable
waters around and under the fireworks barge within a radius of 560 feet
in approximate position 37[deg]52'09'' N, 122[deg]27'03'' W (NAD 83)
for Tiburon's 50th Anniversary Fireworks. At the conclusion of the
fireworks display the safety zone shall terminate.
The effect of the temporary safety zone will be to restrict
navigation in the vicinity of the launch site until the conclusion of
the scheduled display. Except for persons or vessels authorized by the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may enter or remain
in the restricted area. These regulations are needed to keep spectators
and vessels away from the immediate vicinity of the launch site to
ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and transiting vessels.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
We expect the economic impact of this rule will not rise to the
level of necessitating a full Regulatory Evaluation. The safety zone is
limited in duration, and is limited to a narrowly tailored geographic
area. In addition, although this rule restricts access to the waters
encompassed by the safety zone, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because the local waterway users will be notified via
public Broadcast Notice to Mariners to ensure the safety zone will
result in minimum impact. The entities most likely to be affected are
waterfront facilities, commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged
in recreational activities.
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.
This rule may affect owners and operators of waterfront facilities,
commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in recreational
activities and sightseeing. This safety zone would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons. This safety zone would be activated, and
thus subject to enforcement, for a limited duration. When the safety
zone is activated, vessel traffic could pass safely around the safety
zone. The maritime public will be advised in advance of this safety
zone via Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the
[[Page 26124]]
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 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 a safety zone of limited size and
duration. This rule is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination 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.
