SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to a request from the Oregon Army National Guard, and pursuant to its authorities in Section 7 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3), the Corps is amending the regulations at 33 CFR part 334 to establish a new danger zone. The danger zone will prohibit access to waters adjacent to Camp Rilea during use of weapons training ranges, thereby ensuring that no threat is posed to passing water traffic due to ricochet rounds. The proposed rule was published in the May 2, 2012, issue of the Federal Register (77 FR 25952), and its regulations.gov docket number is COE– 2011–0036. Three state agencies responded to the notice with comments. Most of the comments were regarding public access and notification methods. Oregon law created a recreation easement in 1967 guaranteeing access to the beaches for everyone. The commenting agencies expressed concerns that these closures would impinge on this recreational access, especially during periods of heavy recreational use such as clam harvesting activities. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department developed an interagency agreement with the Oregon Military Department detailing when closures can and cannot occur and procedures for those closures to ensure public safety. For example, the closures will not be scheduled during low tides most favorable for clam digging; there will be 15 minutes of cease fire during each hour of closure to allow passage by boats and beach goers through the restricted area; and Oregon Military SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\23FER1.SGM 23FER1 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 35 / Monday, February 23, 2015 / Rules and Regulations emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES Department will maintain a Web site to disseminate information about closures. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife also had concerns about potential disturbance to sensitive wildlife species, including Steller sea lions, snowy plovers, and sea turtles. The use of the danger zone is not expected to increase impacts to any wildlife. A danger zone is a buffer established around a firing range for unexpected errant rounds or explosive fragments. In addition, establishing a buffer is intended to increase public safety during training on the firing ranges, but is not granting permission for the National Guard to perform training. Increased activity due to the danger zone determination would be limited to hanging warning flags and posting guards on the beach. This type of activity is entirely consistent with existing activity on the beach and would not increase impacts to sensitive wildlife species in the area. environmental impact statement is not required.

This rule does not impose an enforceable duty among the private sector and, therefore, it is not a Federal private section mandate and it is not subject to the requirements of either section 202 or Section 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Act. We have also found under Section 203 of the Act that small governments will not be significantly and uniquely affected by this rulemaking. Procedural Requirements a. Review Under Executive Order 12866. This final rule is issued with respect to a military function of the Defense Department and the provisions of Executive Order 12866 do not apply. b. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This rule has been reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354). The Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to the notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (i.e., small businesses and small governments). The danger zone is necessary to protect public safety and satisfy the Oregon National Guard’s operations requirements for small arms training. Small entities can utilize navigable waters in the danger zone when the danger zone is not activated by the Oregon National Guard. When the danger zone is activated, small entities can utilize navigable waters outside of the danger zone. After considering the economic impacts of this danger zone regulation on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. c.

33 CFR Part 334


Oregon Army National Guard Danger Zone, Camp Rilea, Clatsop 
County, Oregon

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is establishing a new danger 
zone in the waters adjacent to Camp Rilea located in Clatsop County, 
Oregon. The regulation prohibits any activity by the public within the 
danger zone during use of weapons training ranges. The new danger zone 
is necessary to ensure public safety and satisfy the Oregon National 
Guard operations requirements for small arms training.

DATES: Effective March 25, 2015.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attn: CECW-CO (David B. 
Olson), 441 G Street NW., Washington, DC 20314-1000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Olson, Headquarters, 
Operations and Regulatory Community of Practice, Washington, DC at 202-
761-4922 or Mr. Steve Gagnon, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland 
District, Regulatory Branch, at 503-808-4379.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to a request from the Oregon 
Army National Guard, and pursuant to its authorities in Section 7 of 
the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and 
Chapter XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33 
U.S.C. 3), the Corps is amending the regulations at 33 CFR part 334 to 
establish a new danger zone. The danger zone will prohibit access to 
waters adjacent to Camp Rilea during use of weapons training ranges, 
thereby ensuring that no threat is posed to passing water traffic due 
to ricochet rounds.
    The proposed rule was published in the May 2, 2012, issue of the 
Federal Register (77 FR 25952), and its regulations.gov docket number 
is COE-2011-0036. Three state agencies responded to the notice with 
comments. Most of the comments were regarding public access and 
notification methods. Oregon law created a recreation easement in 1967 
guaranteeing access to the beaches for everyone. The commenting 
agencies expressed concerns that these closures would impinge on this 
recreational access, especially during periods of heavy recreational 
use such as clam harvesting activities. Oregon Parks and Recreation 
Department developed an interagency agreement with the Oregon Military 
Department detailing when closures can and cannot occur and procedures 
for those closures to ensure public safety. For example, the closures 
will not be scheduled during low tides most favorable for clam digging; 
there will be 15 minutes of cease fire during each hour of closure to 
allow passage by boats and beach goers through the restricted area; and 
Oregon Military

[[Page 9385]]

Department will maintain a Web site to disseminate information about 
closures.
    Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife also had concerns about 
potential disturbance to sensitive wildlife species, including Steller 
sea lions, snowy plovers, and sea turtles. The use of the danger zone 
is not expected to increase impacts to any wildlife. A danger zone is a 
buffer established around a firing range for unexpected errant rounds 
or explosive fragments. In addition, establishing a buffer is intended 
to increase public safety during training on the firing ranges, but is 
not granting permission for the National Guard to perform training. 
Increased activity due to the danger zone determination would be 
limited to hanging warning flags and posting guards on the beach. This 
type of activity is entirely consistent with existing activity on the 
beach and would not increase impacts to sensitive wildlife species in 
the area.

Procedural Requirements

    a. Review Under Executive Order 12866. This final rule is issued 
with respect to a military function of the Defense Department and the 
provisions of Executive Order 12866 do not apply.
    b. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This rule has been 
reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354). The 
Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to prepare a 
regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to the notice-and-
comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act 
or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities (i.e., small businesses and small governments). The danger 
zone is necessary to protect public safety and satisfy the Oregon 
National Guard's operations requirements for small arms training. Small 
entities can utilize navigable waters in the danger zone when the 
danger zone is not activated by the Oregon National Guard. When the 
danger zone is activated, small entities can utilize navigable waters 
outside of the danger zone. After considering the economic impacts of 
this danger zone regulation on small entities, I certify that this 
action will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.
    c. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act. The Corps 
has determined that this regulation will not have a significant impact 
to the quality of the human environment and, therefore, preparation of 
an environmental impact statement is not required. An environmental 
assessment has been prepared and may be reviewed at the District office 
listed at the end of the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section, 
above.
    d. Unfunded Mandates Act. This rule does not impose an enforceable 
duty among the private sector and, therefore, it is not a Federal 
private section mandate and it is not subject to the requirements of 
either section 202 or Section 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Act. We have 
also found under Section 203 of the Act that small governments will not 
be significantly and uniquely affected by this rulemaking.

be removed and an announcement made over marine VHF Channel 16/19 that 
restrictions are lifted.
    (4) When restrictions are in force, Camp Rilea will visually 
monitor the danger zone using radar and guards, equipped with 
binoculars and two-way radios, posted on the beach near the north and 
south boundaries of the Camp. If a vessel is detected in the danger 
zone, a cease fire will be called on all active weapons ranges and Camp 
Rilea will attempt to contact the vessel using marine VHF radio. Cease 
fire will be maintained until the vessel leaves the danger zone.
    (c) Enforcement. The regulations in this section shall be enforced 
by the Commanding Officer, Camp Rilea, Oregon and such agencies as he/
she may designate.
