Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 116 / Monday, June 19, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
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.
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
would not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of
this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with RULES
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 it is one of a category
of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This rule
reduces the size of an existing
anchorage area. It is categorically
excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2–
1, paragraph 34(f) of the Instruction,
which pertains to minor regulatory
changes that are editorial or procedural
in nature. A Record of Environmental
Consideration (REC) supporting this
determination is available in the docket
where indicated in the ADDRESSES
section of this preamble.
G. 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.
