Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking OFCO Operating Facility Change Order § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History On September 17, 2015, the Coast Guard approved renaming Sector Baltimore as Sector Maryland-National Capital Region. The Coast Guard is renaming the Sector to more clearly identify the unit’s missions and area of responsibility to the public. We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) before this final rule. The Coast Guard finds that this rule is exempt from notice and comment rulemaking requirements under 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) and (b)(A) because the changes it makes are conforming amendments involving agency management and organization. The Coast Guard also finds good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) for not publishing an NPRM because the changes will have no substantive effect on the public, and notice and comment are therefore unnecessary. For the same reasons, the Coast Guard finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the rule effective fewer than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with RULES III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 14 U.S.C. 93. The purpose of this rule is to more clearly identify the functions and area of responsibility of this Coast Guard unit to the public. The Sector’s location and boundaries are described in 33 CFR 3.25–15. The previous organization of Sector Baltimore is described and reflected in regulations, which also contain contact details and other references to Sector Baltimore. These conforming amendments update those regulations so that they contain current information under unit name Sector Maryland-National Capital Region. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule amends existing regulations in 33 CFR to reflect the renaming of Sector Baltimore as ‘‘Sector MarylandNational Capital Region.’’ It also removes a temporary section that mentions Sector Baltimore, § 165.T05– 0767, which we intended to be a rule lasting 6 hours that was to expire in 2013 but which still appears in the CFR. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:33 Jun 13, 2016 Jkt 238001 There will be no relocation of units, operational assets or personnel due to the renaming of Sector Baltimore. Sector Maryland-National Capital Region will retain Captain of the Port, Federal Maritime Security Coordinator, Officer in Charge Marine Inspection, Federal on Scene Coordinator, and all other authorities, responsibilities and subunits, as previously assigned to Sector Baltimore. Only the title of these officials will change to reflect the new name of the sector. See Operating Facility Change Order (OFCO) No. 007– 16 which is available in the docket for this rule. V. 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 and Executive orders. A. Regulatory Planning and Review Executive orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. Executive order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has not been designated a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under Executive order 12866. Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. Because this rule involves internal agency organization and nonsubstantive changes, it will not impose any costs on the public. B. Impact on Small Entities The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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. This rule does not require a general NPRM and therefore is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Although this rule is exempt, we have considered its potential impact on small entities and found that it will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 38593 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 section. 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. C. 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). D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments 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 have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. Also, 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. If you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. E:\FR\FM\14JNR1.SGM 14JNR1 38594 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 14, 2016 / Rules and Regulations E. 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. F. 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 (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 internal administrative action involving the renaming a Coast Guard unit. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(b) of Figure 2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. in its place the words ‘‘MarylandNational Capital Region’’ and in the text, remove the word ‘‘Baltimore’s’’ in the first and second sentences and add in its place the words ‘‘Sector MarylandNational Capital Region’s’’.

Sulouff, Chief, Bridge Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone 510– 437–3516, email David.H.Sulouff@ uscg.mil. DATES: San Joaquin County Department of Public Works has requested a temporary change to the operation of the San Joaquin County (Bacon Island Road) highway drawbridge, mile 8.6, over Middle River, between Bacon Island and Lower Jones Tract, California. The drawbridge navigation span provides approximately 8 feet vertical clearance above Mean High Water in the closedto-navigation position. The draw operates as required by 33 CFR 117.171(a). Navigation on the waterway is commercial and recreational. The drawspan operating machinery failed unexpectedly on May 28, 2016 and the drawspan will remain secured in the closed-to-navigation position until 11:59 p.m. on July 1, 2016, to allow the bridge owner to make emergency repairs. This temporary deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users. No objections to the proposed temporary deviation were raised. Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at anytime. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies. Old River can be used as an alternate route for vessels unable to pass through the bridge in the closed position. The Coast Guard has also informed waterway users through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their 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 at the end of the effective period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 38595 Dated: June 8, 2016. D.H.

U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On September 17, 2015, the Coast Guard approved renaming Sector 
Baltimore as Sector Maryland-National Capital Region. The Coast Guard 
is renaming the Sector to more clearly identify the unit's missions and 
area of responsibility to the public.
    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) before 
this final rule. The Coast Guard finds that this rule is exempt from 
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) and 
(b)(A) because the changes it makes are conforming amendments involving 
agency management and organization. The Coast Guard also finds good 
cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) for not publishing an NPRM 
because the changes will have no substantive effect on the public, and 
notice and comment are therefore unnecessary. For the same reasons, the 
Coast Guard finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the rule 
effective fewer than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 14 U.S.C. 
93. The purpose of this rule is to more clearly identify the functions 
and area of responsibility of this Coast Guard unit to the public. The 
Sector's location and boundaries are described in 33 CFR 3.25-15. The 
previous organization of Sector Baltimore is described and reflected in 
regulations, which also contain contact details and other references to 
Sector Baltimore. These conforming amendments update those regulations 
so that they contain current information under unit name Sector 
Maryland-National Capital Region.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule amends existing regulations in 33 CFR to reflect the 
renaming of Sector Baltimore as ``Sector Maryland-National Capital 
Region.'' It also removes a temporary section that mentions Sector 
Baltimore, Sec.  165.T05-0767, which we intended to be a rule lasting 6 
hours that was to expire in 2013 but which still appears in the CFR. 
There will be no relocation of units, operational assets or personnel 
due to the renaming of Sector Baltimore. Sector Maryland-National 
Capital Region will retain Captain of the Port, Federal Maritime 
Security Coordinator, Officer in Charge Marine Inspection, Federal on 
Scene Coordinator, and all other authorities, responsibilities and sub-
units, as previously assigned to Sector Baltimore. Only the title of 
these officials will change to reflect the new name of the sector. See 
Operating Facility Change Order (OFCO) No. 007-16 which is available in 
the docket for this rule.

V. 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 and Executive orders.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits. Executive order 13563 emphasizes the importance of 
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing 
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has not been designated 
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive order 12866. 
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and 
Budget. Because this rule involves internal agency organization and 
non-substantive changes, it will not impose any costs on the public.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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. This rule does not require a general NPRM and therefore is 
exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 
Although this rule is exempt, we have considered its potential impact 
on small entities and found that it will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of 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 
section.
    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.

C. 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).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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 have 
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism 
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 
13132.
    Also, 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. If 
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, 
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section above.

E. 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.

F. 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 (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 internal administrative action involving the renaming a 
Coast Guard unit. It is categorically excluded from further review 
under paragraph 34(b) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction.
