51478
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 168 / Friday, August 29, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
increases the annual fee for access to the
Registry for each area code of data from
$59 to $60 per area code; increases the
maximum amount that will be charged
to any single entity for accessing area
codes of data from $16,228 to $16,482;
and the fee per area code of data during
the second six months of an entity’s
annual subscription period remains $30.
These increases are in accordance
with the Act, which specifies that
beginning after fiscal year 2009, the
dollar amounts charged shall be
increased by an amount equal to the
amounts specified in the Act, multiplied
by the percentage (if any) by which the
average of the monthly consumer price
index (for all urban consumers
published by the Department of Labor)
(‘‘CPI’’) for the most recently ended 12month period ending on June 30
exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period
ending June 30, 2008. The Act also
states that any increase shall be rounded
to the nearest dollar and that there shall
be no increase in the dollar amounts if
the change in the CPI is less than one
percent. For fiscal year 2009, the Act
specified that the original annual fee for
access to the Registry for each area code
of data was $54 per area code, or $27
per area code of data during the second
six months of an entity’s annual
subscription period, and that the
maximum amount that would be
charged to any single entity for
accessing area codes of data would be
$14,850.
The determination whether a fee
change is required and the amount of
the fee change involves a two-step
process. First, to determine whether a
fee change is required, we measure the
change in the CPI from the time of the
previous increase in fees. There was an
increase in the fees for fiscal year 2014.
Accordingly, we calculated the change
in the CPI since last year, and the
increase was 1.56 percent. Because this
change is over the one percent
threshold, the fees will change for fiscal
year 2015.
Second, to determine how much the
fees should increase this fiscal year, we
use the calculation specified by the Act
set forth above, the percentage change in
the baseline CPI applied to the original
fees for fiscal year 2009. The average
value of the CPI for July 1, 2007 to June
30, 2008 was 211.702; the average value
for July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 was
234.966, an increase of 10.99 percent.
Applying the 10.99 percent increase to
the base amount from fiscal year 2009,
leads to an increase from $59 to $60 in
the fee from last year for access to a
single area code of data for a full year
for fiscal year 2015. The actual amount
is $59.93, but when rounded, pursuant
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:18 Aug 28, 2014
Jkt 232001
to the Act, the amount is $60. The fee
for accessing an additional area code for
a half year remains $30 (rounded from
$29.97). The maximum amount charged
increases to $16,482.02 (rounded to
$16,482).
Administrative Procedure Act;
Regulatory Flexibility Act; Paperwork
Reduction Act. The revisions to the Fee
Rule are technical in nature and merely
incorporate statutory changes to the
TSR. These statutory changes have been
adopted without change or
interpretation, making public comment
unnecessary. Therefore, the Commission
has determined that the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). For this
reason, the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act also do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 603, 604.
Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’)
approved the information collection
requirements in the Amended TSR and
assigned the following existing OMB
Control Number: 3084–0097. The
amendments outlined in this Final Rule
pertain only to the fee provision
(§ 310.8) of the Amended TSR and will
not establish or alter any record
keeping, reporting, or third-party
disclosure requirements elsewhere in
the Amended TSR.
Accordingly, the Federal Trade
Commission amends part 310 of title 16
of the Code of Federal Regulations as
follows:
PART 310—TELEMARKETING SALES
RULE
to access, but is not required to access,
the National Do Not Call Registry under
this Rule, 47 CFR 64.1200, or any other
Federal regulation or law. Any person
accessing the National Do Not Call
Registry may not participate in any
arrangement to share the cost of
accessing the registry, including any
arrangement with any telemarketer or
service provider to divide the costs to
access the registry among various clients
of that telemarketer or service provider.
(d) Each person who pays, either
directly or through another person, the
annual fee set forth in § 310.8(c), each
person excepted under § 310.8(c) from
paying the annual fee, and each person
excepted from paying an annual fee
under § 310.4(b)(1)(iii)(B), will be
provided a unique account number that
will allow that person to access the
registry data for the selected area codes
at any time for the twelve month period
beginning on the first day of the month
in which the person paid the fee (‘‘the
annual period’’). To obtain access to
additional area codes of data during the
first six months of the annual period,
each person required to pay the fee
under § 310.8(c) must first pay $60 for
each additional area code of data not
initially selected. To obtain access to
additional area codes of data during the
second six months of the annual period,
each person required to pay the fee
under § 310.8(c) must first pay $30 for
each additional area code of data not
initially selected. The payment of the
additional fee will permit the person to
access the additional area codes of data
for the remainder of the annual period.

NAD 83 North American Datum of 1983
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Great Peconic Race is a first time
event with no regulatory history.
The Region 8 Beach Brawl is a first
time event with no regulatory history.
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 doing so would be
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest. There is insufficient time to
publish a NPRM and solicit comments
from the public before these events take
place. Thus, waiting for a comment
period to run would inhibit the Coast
Guard’s ability to fulfill its mission to
keep the ports and waterways safe.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), and for the
same reasons stated in the preceding
paragraph, 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
The legal basis for this temporary rule
is 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 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; Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1 which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to define regulatory special local
regulations and safety zones.
As discussed in the Regulatory
History and Information section, two
regattas will take place in the COTP
Long Island Sound Zone between
51479
September 6, 2014 and September 14,
2014. The COTP Long Island Sound has
determined that one special local
regulation and one safety zone
established by this temporary final rule
are necessary to provide for the safety of
life on navigable waterways during
those events.
The Great Peconic Race course itself
will start and end at Wades Beach on
Shelter Island proceeding in a counterclockwise direction to the east around
Mashomack Point, and encompass a
complete circumnavigation of Shelter
Island, a total distance of 19 miles. On
the south shore two event safety vessels
will be present with a member of the
south ferry staff with a red flag to stop
and then wave paddlers on for safe
crossing. One safety boat will be present
on the north shore to assist paddlers as
well.
The Region 8 Beach Brawl is a two
day marine event held close to the shore
of Savin Rock Beach in West Haven, CT.
During the event, multiple jet-skis will
be running a closed loop course
approximately 600 feet by 1,000 feet in
size. There will three support craft
supervising the event and will be using
flags to control the race participants.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing one
special local regulation for one regatta,
and one safety zone for another regatta,
to provide for the safety of life on
navigable waters during these events.
This rule will be effective from
September 6, 2014 to September 14,
2014.
The special local regulation and safety
zone for these events covered by this
regulation will be enforced on the dates,
times, and locations listed in the table
below.
Regatta event
Great Peconic Race ............................................................................
• Date: September 14, 2014.
• Time: 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
• Location: There will be two areas created for the special local regulation. The first area will encompass all navigable waters along the
north shore of Shelter Island, NY including Shelter Island Sound,
Pipes Cove, Greenport Harbor and Dering Harbor. The second area
will encompass all navigable waters along the south shore of Shelter
Island, NY including Shelter Island Sound and Smith Cove.

D. 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.
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.
The Coast Guard determined that this
rulemaking is not a significant
regulatory action for the following
reasons: The enforcement of the
regulated area and safety zone will be
relatively short in duration. Also,
persons or vessels desiring entry into a
regulated area or a deviance from the
stipulations within a regulated area may
be authorized to do so by the COTP
Sector Long Island Sound or designated
representative. Additionally, persons or
vessels desiring to enter the safety zone
may do so with permission from the
COTP Sector Long Island Sound or
designated representative. Furthermore,
the special local regulation and the
safety zone are designed in a way to
limit impacts on vessel traffic,
permitting vessels to navigate in other
portions of the waterways not
designated as a regulated area or as a
safety zone. Finally, to increase public
awareness of the special local regulation
and the safety zone, the Coast Guard
will notify the public of the enforcement
of this rule via appropriate means, such
as via 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,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:18 Aug 28, 2014
Jkt 232001
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 received zero
comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. 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 may be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to enter, transit,
anchor or moor within the regulated
area or the safety zone during the
periods of enforcement from September
6, 2014 to September 14, 2014.
However, this temporary final rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
for the same reasons discussed in the
Regulatory Planning and Review
section.
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.
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
INTFORMATION 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.
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 might
disproportionately affect children.
This rule will not call for a 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to
accommodate the annual Sarasota Iron
Man Triathlon, a temporary schedule
deviation has been authorized for the
Venice Avenue Bridge, across the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway, mile 56.6 in
Venice, FL. This deviation is in effect
from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on November 8,
2014. During this time, the bridge shall
remain closed to navigation, including
tugs with tows. Currently, the bridge
opens as required per 33 CFR 117.287
(a–2), which states ‘‘the draw of the
Venice Avenue bridge, shall open on
signal, except that from 7 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday except
Federal holidays. The draw need open
only at 10 minutes after the hour, 30
minutes after the hour and 50 minutes
after the hour, except between 4:35 p.m.
and 5:35 p.m.’’ The regulation changes
may have a minor impact on vessels
transiting the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway in the vicinity of Venice, FL,
but will still meet the reasonable needs
of navigation.
The Venice Avenue Bridge provides a
vertical clearance of 30 feet at mean
high water in the closed position and a
horizontal clearance of 90 feet. Vessels
able to pass through the bridge in the
closed position may do so at anytime.
The bridge will be able to open for
emergencies. Also, vessels capable of
using the Gulf of Mexico as an alternate
route may do so in lieu of transiting the
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway at mile 56.6
in Venice, FL from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.
November 8, 2014. The Coast Guard will
inform users of the waterways through
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessels can arrange

transits to minimize any impact caused
by the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately
following the end of the effective period
of this temporary deviation. This
deviation from the normal operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR

NAD 83 North American Datum of 1983
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Great Peconic Race is a first time event with no regulatory
history.
The Region 8 Beach Brawl is a first time event with no regulatory
history.
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 doing so would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest. There is insufficient time to publish
a NPRM and solicit comments from the public before these events take
place. Thus, waiting for a comment period to run would inhibit the
Coast Guard's ability to fulfill its mission to keep the ports and
waterways safe.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), and for the same reasons stated in the
preceding paragraph, 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
The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 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;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1 which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define regulatory special
local regulations and safety zones.
As discussed in the Regulatory History and Information section, two
regattas will take place in the COTP Long Island Sound Zone between
September 6, 2014 and September 14, 2014. The COTP Long Island Sound
has determined that one special local regulation and one safety zone
established by this temporary final rule are necessary to provide for
the safety of life on navigable waterways during those events.
The Great Peconic Race course itself will start and end at Wades
Beach on Shelter Island proceeding in a counter-clockwise direction to
the east around Mashomack Point, and encompass a complete
circumnavigation of Shelter Island, a total distance of 19 miles. On
the south shore two event safety vessels will be present with a member
of the south ferry staff with a red flag to stop and then wave paddlers
on for safe crossing. One safety boat will be present on the north
shore to assist paddlers as well.
The Region 8 Beach Brawl is a two day marine event held close to
the shore of Savin Rock Beach in West Haven, CT. During the event,
multiple jet-skis will be running a closed loop course approximately
600 feet by 1,000 feet in size. There will three support craft
supervising the event and will be using flags to control the race
participants.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing one special local regulation for
one regatta, and one safety zone for another regatta, to provide for
the safety of life on navigable waters during these events. This rule
will be effective from September 6, 2014 to September 14, 2014.
The special local regulation and safety zone for these events
covered by this regulation will be enforced on the dates, times, and
locations listed in the table below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regatta event
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Great Peconic Race................... Date: September 14,
2014.
Time: 7:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m.
Location: There will
be two areas created for the
special local regulation. The
first area will encompass all
navigable waters along the
north shore of Shelter Island,
NY including Shelter Island
Sound, Pipes Cove, Greenport
Harbor and Dering Harbor. The
second area will encompass all
navigable waters along the
south shore of Shelter Island,
NY including Shelter Island
Sound and Smith Cove.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Region 8 Beach Brawl................. Date: September 6,
2014.
Time: 8:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m.
Date: September 7,
2014.
Time: 8:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m.
Location: Savin Rock
Beach, West Haven, CT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the special local regulation created in support of the Great
Peconic Race under the general regulations in Sec. 100.901 of this
part, vessels transiting within the regulated area shall travel at a
no-wake speed and remain vigilant at all times. Additionally,
recreational vessels shall yield right-of-way for event participants
and event safety craft and shall follow directions given by event
representatives during the event. Commercial vessels will have right-
of-
[[Page 51480]]
way over event participants, and event safety craft.
For the safety zone created in support of the Region 8 Beach Brawl
this rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within the area specifically designated as a safety zone.
Public notifications will be made to the local maritime community
prior to the event through the Local Notice to Mariners and 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 a number of 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) 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 Coast Guard determined that this rulemaking is not a
significant regulatory action for the following reasons: The
enforcement of the regulated area and safety zone will be relatively
short in duration. Also, persons or vessels desiring entry into a
regulated area or a deviance from the stipulations within a regulated
area may be authorized to do so by the COTP Sector Long Island Sound or
designated representative. Additionally, persons or vessels desiring to
enter the safety zone may do so with permission from the COTP Sector
Long Island Sound or designated representative. Furthermore, the
special local regulation and the safety zone are designed in a way to
limit impacts on vessel traffic, permitting vessels to navigate in
other portions of the waterways not designated as a regulated area or
as a safety zone. Finally, to increase public awareness of the special
local regulation and the safety zone, the Coast Guard will notify the
public of the enforcement of this rule via appropriate means, such as
via 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 received zero comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. 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 may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to enter,
transit, anchor or moor within the regulated area or the safety zone
during the periods of enforcement from September 6, 2014 to September
14, 2014. However, this temporary final rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
for the same reasons discussed in the Regulatory Planning and Review
section.
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 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
INTFORMATION 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 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 might
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
[[Page 51481]]
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 rule 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 the establishment of one special local
regulation and one safety zone. This rule is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph 34(g) and (h) 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.
