NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
TFR Temporary Final Rule
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary 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, the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule. Waiting for a 30 day
notice period to run would be
impracticable. The Coast Guard did not
receive the necessary information in
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
35571
time for this regulation to undertake
both an NPRM and a 30 day delayed
effective date. Additionally, waiting for
a 30 day notice period to run would be
impracticable as delayed promulgation
may result in injury or damage to
persons and vessels from the hazards
associated with fireworks displays.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register due to the late notification of
this event and because the event will
have occurred before comments could
have been taken.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this proposed rule
is: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33
CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, and 160.5;
Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1; which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to establish regulatory safety zones for
safety and environmental purposes.
Fireworks displays create hazardous
conditions for the maritime public
because of the large number of vessels
that congregate near the displays, as
well as the noise, falling debris, and
explosions that occur during the event.
Due to the presence of a fireworks show,
a safety zone is necessary in order to
reduce vessel traffic congestion in the
proximity of fireworks discharge sites
and to prevent vessel traffic within the
fallout zone of the fireworks.
C. Discussion of the Temporary Final
Rule
This rule establishes one safety zone
in the Sector Columbia River Captain of
the Port Zone.
The safety zone will encompass the
waters included within a 500 foot radius
at the following approximate location:
46°12′14″ N; 123°23′17″ W, along the
Columbia River, in Cathlamet, WA. This
safety zone will be effective on Saturday
July 18, 2015 from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00
p.m.
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 and 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
E:\FR\FM\22JNR1.SGM
22JNR1
35572
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 119 / Monday, June 22, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
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 has made this
determination based on the fact that the
safety zone created by this rule will not
significantly affect the maritime public
because vessels may still coordinate
their transit with the Coast Guard in the
vicinity of the safety zone.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
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.
(1) This rule may affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: The owners and operators of
vessels intending to operate in the area
covered by the safety zone. The rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because the safety zones will only be in
effect for a limited period of time.
Additionally, vessels can still transit
through the zone with the permission of
the Captain of the Port. Before the
effective period, we will publish
advisories in the Local Notice to
Mariners available to users of the river.
Maritime traffic will be able to schedule
their transits around the safety zone.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 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
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.
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 expenditure, we
do not 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
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
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 may
disproportionately affect children.
11. 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.
12. 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.
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
creation of one safety zone during
fireworks displays to protect maritime
public. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are

I. Introduction
In this Order, the Commission adopts
final rules regarding requests to change
or correct the Mail Classification
Schedule (MCS).
II. Background
The Commission is charged with
maintaining accurate product lists. See
39 U.S.C. 3642. In Docket No. RM2007–
1, the Commission promulgated rules
establishing the MCS as the vehicle for
presenting the product lists with
necessary descriptive content.1 Those
rules are codified at 39 CFR part 3020,
subparts A–F.
On November 14, 2014, the
Commission issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking and requested comments on
proposed rules regarding requests to
change or correct the MCS (specifically,
replacing 39 CFR part 3020, subpart E).2
Order No. 2250 described how the
regulations did not satisfactorily address

MCS changes that were more significant
than minor corrections to the MCS but
did not rise to the level of a product list
modification. The proposed rules
distinguished between material changes
and minor corrections to the descriptive
content in the MCS and proposed
procedures for the initiation and review
of each type of change. The notice of
proposed rulemaking was also
published in the Federal Register. 79 FR
69781 (November 24, 2014).
The Postal Service and the Public
Representative submitted initial
comments suggesting changes to the
rules proposed in Order No. 2250.3 The
Postal Service also submitted reply
comments.4 After consideration of the
comments submitted, the Commission
adopts the proposed rules, modified as
described below.
III. Section-by-Section Analysis
In general, the Postal Service and
Public Representative offered positive
comments with respect to the
Commission’s proposed rules. See, e.g.,
Postal Service Comments at 1, PR
Comments at 3. Both commenters also
offered suggestions that they assert
would improve or clarify the proposed
rules. The comments primarily focused
on two issues: The contents of the
supporting justification for a material
change to a MCS product description
and the provisions concerning the
Commission’s review of requests to
make either a material change or minor
correction to the MCS. The
Commission’s analysis of the comments
received is discussed below.
A. Section 3020.81 (Supporting
Justification for Changes to Product
Descriptions)
Section 3020.81 of the proposed rules
lists the supporting justification that
must be filed by the Postal Service when
it proposes a material change to a
product description in the MCS. As
proposed, paragraph (c) required the
Postal Service to describe the impact
that the proposed material changes will
have on users of the product and on
competitors as part of its supporting
justification for its request to make a
material change to a product
description.
The Postal Service comments that the
requirement in proposed section
3020.81(c) is more strenuous than the
requirement that currently applies to

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
TFR Temporary Final Rule
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary 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, the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule. Waiting for a 30 day notice period to run would
be impracticable. The Coast Guard did not receive the necessary
information in time for this regulation to undertake both an NPRM and a
30 day delayed effective date. Additionally, waiting for a 30 day
notice period to run would be impracticable as delayed promulgation may
result in injury or damage to persons and vessels from the hazards
associated with fireworks displays.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register due to the late notification of
this event and because the event will have occurred before comments
could have been taken.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this proposed rule is: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50
U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1; which collectively authorize
the Coast Guard to establish regulatory safety zones for safety and
environmental purposes.
Fireworks displays create hazardous conditions for the maritime
public because of the large number of vessels that congregate near the
displays, as well as the noise, falling debris, and explosions that
occur during the event. Due to the presence of a fireworks show, a
safety zone is necessary in order to reduce vessel traffic congestion
in the proximity of fireworks discharge sites and to prevent vessel
traffic within the fallout zone of the fireworks.
C. Discussion of the Temporary Final Rule
This rule establishes one safety zone in the Sector Columbia River
Captain of the Port Zone.
The safety zone will encompass the waters included within a 500
foot radius at the following approximate location: 46[deg]12'14'' N;
123[deg]23'17'' W, along the Columbia River, in Cathlamet, WA. This
safety zone will be effective on Saturday July 18, 2015 from 10:00 p.m.
to 11:00 p.m.
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 and 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
[[Page 35572]]
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 has made this determination based on the fact that the safety
zone created by this rule will not significantly affect the maritime
public because vessels may still coordinate their transit with the
Coast Guard in the vicinity of the safety zone.
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.
(1) This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may
be small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to
operate in the area covered by the safety zone. The rule will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
because the safety zones will only be in effect for a limited period of
time. Additionally, vessels can still transit through the zone with the
permission of the Captain of the Port. Before the effective period, we
will publish advisories in the Local Notice to Mariners available to
users of the river. Maritime traffic will be able to schedule their
transits around the safety zone.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 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
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.
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 expenditure, we do not 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
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 may
disproportionately affect children.
11. 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.
12. 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.
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 creation of one safety zone during
fireworks displays to protect maritime public. This rule is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination are
[[Page 35573]]
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.
