Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 84 / Friday, May 1, 2015 / Proposed Rules
8. Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically
significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that might disproportionately
affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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 proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant energy action’’ under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
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 that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on

the human environment. Specifically,
the proposed rule involves establishing
a safety zone, which is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this
proposed rule.

For the reasons discussed in the

offshore exploration or support vessel
transits near them such that it places the
moored or anchored vessel within the
100-yard safety zone described in
paragraph (a) of this section, the moored
or anchored vessel must remain
stationary until the offshore exploration
or support vessel maneuvers to a
distance exceeding the 100-yard safety
zone.

(5) The COTP, Western Alaska, will
notify the maritime and general public
by marine information broadcast during
the period of time that the safety zones
are in force by providing notice in
accordance with § 165.7.
(d) Penalties. Persons and vessels
violating this rule are subject to the
penalties set forth in 33. U.S.C. 1232
and 50 U.S.C. 192.
Dated: April 14, 2015.
