Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 99 / Thursday, May 22, 2014 / Proposed Rules 13. Technical Standards This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. 14. Environment We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves establishing a safety zone issued in conjunction with a regatta or marine parade, that will be enforced from 2:30 p.m. through 5:30 p.m. on September 12, and from 10:30 a.m. through 6:30 p.m. on September 13; and from 1:30 p.m. through 5:30 p.m. on September 14, 2014. This proposed rule involves establishing a safety zone as described in figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
