SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
History
The FAA published in the Federal
Register a final rule establishing Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Dry Creek
Airport, Cypress, TX (79 FR 22894,
April 24, 2015). After publication FAA
found the effective date was incorrectly
published as April 30, 2015, which does
not ensure enough time for publication
in the FAA’s aeronautical database. The
correct effective date is June 25, 2015.
This action corrects the error.
Correction to Final Rule
Accordingly, pursuant to the
authority delegated to me, the effective
date listed under DATES heading on
Docket No. FAA 2015–0743,
establishing Class E airspace at Dry
Creek Airport, Cypress, TX, as
published in the Federal Register of
April 24, 2015, (79 FR 22894), FR Doc.
2015–09400, is corrected as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this 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(b), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule because the U.S. 98–
SR 30 bridge, that once required draw
operations in 33 CFR 117.327, was
removed and replaced with a fixed
bridge in 2001. Therefore, the regulation
is no longer applicable and shall be
removed from publication. It is
unnecessary to publish an NPRM
because this regulatory action does not
purport to place any restrictions on
mariners but rather removes a
restriction that has no further use or
value. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for making this effective in less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
E:\FR\FM\14MYR1.SGM
14MYR1
27564
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 93 / Thursday, May 14, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
Register. The bridge has been a fixed
bridge for 14 years and this rule merely
requires an administrative change to the
Federal Register, in order to omit a
regulatory requirement that is no longer
applicable or necessary. The
modification has already taken place
and the removal of the regulation will
not affect mariners currently operating
on this waterway. Therefore, a delayed
effective date is unnecessary.
B. Basis and Purpose
The U.S. 98–SR 30 bridge across the
St. Marks River, mile 9.0, was removed
and replaced with a fixed bridge in
2001. It has come to the attention of the
Coast Guard that the governing
regulation for this drawbridge was never
removed subsequent to the completion
of the fixed bridge that replaced it. The
elimination of this drawbridge
necessitates the removal of the
drawbridge operation regulation, 33
CFR 117.327, that pertains to the former
drawbridge.
The purpose of this rule is to remove
33 CFR 117.327 that refers to the U.S.
98–SR 30 bridge, mile 9.0, from the
Code of Federal Regulations because it
governs a bridge that has been removed
and replaced by a fixed bridge.
C. Discussion of Final Rule
The Coast Guard is amending the
regulation in 33 CFR 117.327 by
removing restrictions and the regulatory
burden related to the draw operations
for this bridge that is no longer in
existence. The change removes 33 CFR
117.327, which is the regulation
governing the U.S. 98–SR 30 bridge
because the bridge has been removed
from the waterway. This Final Rule
seeks to update the CFR by removing
language that governs the operation of
the U.S. 98–SR 30 bridge, which in fact
is no longer a drawbridge. This change
does not affect waterway or land traffic.

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 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 that Order or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:29 May 13, 2015
Jkt 235001
Office of Management and Budget has
not reviewed it under those Orders.
The Coast Guard does not consider
this rule to be ‘‘significant’’ under that
Order because it is an administrative
change and does not affect the way
vessels operate on the waterway.
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 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 have no effect on small
entities since this drawbridge has been
removed and replaced with a fixed
bridge and the regulation governing
draw operations for this bridge is no
longer applicable. There is no new
restriction or regulation being imposed
by this rule; therefore, the Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
3. Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).
4. 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 final rule under that Order
and have determined that it does not
have implications for federalism.
5. 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.

6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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 might
disproportionately affect children.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
13. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security

have concluded 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 rule involves the
removal of regulation that is no longer
necessary. This rule is categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph

Register on October 21, 2014 with a
comment period that ended on
November 20, 2014. Three comments
were received and no requests for a
public meeting were received by the
Coast Guard. All three comments
received were generally supportive of
the event. The comments received and
the answers to comments are covered in
the ‘‘Discussion of Comments, Changes
and the Final Rule’’ section, below.
B. Basis and Purpose
Coast Guard Captains of the Port are
granted authority to establish safety
zones in 33 CFR 1.05–1(f) for safety and
environmental purposes as described in
33 CFR part 165.
Regattas create the potential for
complex navigation situations because
of the large number of vessels that
congregate near the event. In addition,
the dragon boats involved in this regatta
are not power driven vessels and
consequently are limited in their ability
to maneuver. This safety zone is
necessary in order to ensure the safety
of the maritime public in the proximity
of marine event sites and reduce the risk
of collision with the non-power driven
vessels involved in the race.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes
and the Final Rule
As discussed above, in the
‘‘Regulatory History and Information’’
section, there were three comments
received on the Temporary Interim
Rule, published as USCG–2014–0492,
for the 2014 Portland Dragon Boat
Races. The first commenter was a cat
and stated that they agreed that the
safety of people is important. The Coast
Guard agrees. The second commenter
asked, ‘‘What is a dragon boat and
where can I find one?’’ A dragon boat
is a vessel propelled with paddles by a
large crew and used for racing. Sources
for these vessels are beyond the scope
of this rulemaking. The third
commenter recommended that the
safety zone cover a larger area, based on
the event’s recent rise in popularity in
the Portland area. The Coast Guard
agrees that the Portland Dragon Boat
Festival has seen recent increases in
attendance and participation; however
the racing route has remained
unchanged. Given that race managers
limit the number of participants on the
water at any specific time, the Coast
Guard has determined that the current
safety zone is adequate to protect the
interests of safe navigation.
D. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Final Rule finalizes the interim
Safety Zone in the Thirteenth Coast
Guard District without changes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this 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(b), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the U.S. 98-SR 30 bridge, that once
required draw operations in 33 CFR 117.327, was removed and replaced
with a fixed bridge in 2001. Therefore, the regulation is no longer
applicable and shall be removed from publication. It is unnecessary to
publish an NPRM because this regulatory action does not purport to
place any restrictions on mariners but rather removes a restriction
that has no further use or value. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making this effective in less
than 30 days after publication in the Federal
[[Page 27564]]
Register. The bridge has been a fixed bridge for 14 years and this rule
merely requires an administrative change to the Federal Register, in
order to omit a regulatory requirement that is no longer applicable or
necessary. The modification has already taken place and the removal of
the regulation will not affect mariners currently operating on this
waterway. Therefore, a delayed effective date is unnecessary.
B. Basis and Purpose
The U.S. 98-SR 30 bridge across the St. Marks River, mile 9.0, was
removed and replaced with a fixed bridge in 2001. It has come to the
attention of the Coast Guard that the governing regulation for this
drawbridge was never removed subsequent to the completion of the fixed
bridge that replaced it. The elimination of this drawbridge
necessitates the removal of the drawbridge operation regulation, 33 CFR
117.327, that pertains to the former drawbridge.
The purpose of this rule is to remove 33 CFR 117.327 that refers to
the U.S. 98-SR 30 bridge, mile 9.0, from the Code of Federal
Regulations because it governs a bridge that has been removed and
replaced by a fixed bridge.
C. Discussion of Final Rule
The Coast Guard is amending the regulation in 33 CFR 117.327 by
removing restrictions and the regulatory burden related to the draw
operations for this bridge that is no longer in existence. The change
removes 33 CFR 117.327, which is the regulation governing the U.S. 98-
SR 30 bridge because the bridge has been removed from the waterway.
This Final Rule seeks to update the CFR by removing language that
governs the operation of the U.S. 98-SR 30 bridge, which in fact is no
longer a drawbridge. This change does not affect waterway or land
traffic.
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 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 that Order or under section
1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under those Orders.
The Coast Guard does not consider this rule to be ``significant''
under that Order because it is an administrative change and does not
affect the way vessels operate on the waterway.
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 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 have no effect on small entities since this
drawbridge has been removed and replaced with a fixed bridge and the
regulation governing draw operations for this bridge is no longer
applicable. There is no new restriction or regulation being imposed by
this rule; therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b)
that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
3. Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
4. 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 final rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have implications for federalism.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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 might
disproportionately affect children.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
13. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
[[Page 27565]]
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
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 rule involves the removal of regulation that is no
longer necessary. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-
1, paragraph (32) (e), of the Instruction.
Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32) (e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.
