SMCRA requires that State laws
regulating surface coal mining and
reclamation operations be ‘‘in
accordance with’’ the requirements of
SMCRA, and section 503(a)(7) requires
that State programs contain rules and

National Environmental Policy Act
Executive Order 13175—Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
In accordance with Executive Order
13175, we have evaluated the potential
effects of this rule on Federallyrecognized Indian tribes and have
determined that the rule does not have
substantial direct effects 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.
The basis for this determination is that
our decision is on a State regulatory
program and does not involve a Federal
regulation involving Indian lands.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Executive Order 13211—Regulations
That Significantly Affect the Supply,
Distribution, or Use of Energy
Executive Order 13211 of May 18,
2001, which requires agencies to
prepare a Statement of Energy Effects for
a rule that is (1) considered significant
under Executive Order 12866, and (2)
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. Because this rule is exempt from
review under Executive Order 12866
and is not expected to have a significant
adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy, a
Statement of Energy Effects is not
required.

Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Department of the Interior
certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

which is the subject of this rule, is based
upon counterpart Federal regulations for
which an economic analysis was
prepared and certification made that
such regulations would not have a
significant economic effect upon a
substantial number of small entities. In
making the determination as to whether
this rule would have a significant
economic impact, the Department relied
upon the data and assumptions for the
counterpart Federal regulations.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804(2), the Small Business

laws and executive orders for the
counterpart Federal regulations.

the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (DAJAG) (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has determined that
certain vessels of the VIRGINIA SSN

Class are vessels of the Navy which, due
to their special construction and
purpose, cannot fully comply with
certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS
without interfering with their special
function as a naval ships. The intended
effect of this rule is to warn mariners in
waters where 72 COLREGS apply.
DATES: This rule is effective July 10,
2017 and is applicable beginning June
15, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

of the Navy, 1322 Patterson Ave. SE.,
Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC
20374–5066, telephone 202–685–5040.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the DoN amends 32 CFR part 706.
This amendment provides notice that
the DAJAG (Admiralty and Maritime
Law), under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Navy, has certified that
certain vessels of the SSN Class are
vessels of the Navy which, due to their
special construction and purpose,
cannot fully comply with the following
specific provisions of 72 COLREGS
without interfering with their special
function as a naval ship: Rule 23(a) and
Annex I, paragraph 2(a)(i), pertaining to
the vertical placement of the masthead,
light and Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(i),
pertaining to VIRGINIA class submarine
masthead light location below the
submarine identification lights; Rule 30
(a)(i), Rule 21(e), and Annex I,
paragraph 2(k), pertaining to the vertical
separation of the anchor lights, vertical
placement of the forward anchor light
above the hull, and the arc of visibility
of all around lights; Rule 23 (a) and
Annex I, paragraph 3(b), pertaining to
the location of the sidelights; and Rule
21(c), pertaining to the location and arc
of visibility of the sternlight. The
DAJAG (Admiralty and Maritime Law)
has also certified that the lights
involved are located in closest possible
compliance with the applicable 72
COLREGS requirements.
Moreover, it has been determined, in
accordance with 32 CFR parts 296 and
701, that publication of this amendment
for public comment prior to adoption is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is
based on technical findings that the
placement of lights on these vessels in
a manner differently from that
prescribed herein will adversely affect
these vessel’s ability to perform their
military functions.

§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Regulatory History and Information
On five separate occasions since
March 24, 2017, the COTP has
established a temporary security zone
encompassing certain U.S. navigable
waters of the Potomac River during
events held at the Trump National Golf
Club at Potomac Falls, VA. These
security zones were established and
enforced at the request of the U.S. Secret
Service to support security measures
required during visits by high-ranking
United States government officials at the
golf club.
The Coast Guard is issuing this
interim 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)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing
so would be impracticable and contrary
to the public interest to delay the
effective date of this rule due to the
short time period between event
planners notifying the Coast Guard and
publication of this security zone. The
NPRM process is contrary to the public
