DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Multnomah County (bridge owner) has
requested a temporary deviation from
the operating schedule for the
Hawthorne Bridge, mile 13.1 crossing
the Willamette River at Portland, OR.
The requested deviation is to
accommodate the Oregon Brewers’
Parade event. To facilitate this event,
the draw of this bridge will be allowed
to be kept in the closed-to-navigation
position to marine traffic from 11:30
a.m. to noon on July 26, 2017. The
Hawthorne Bridge provides a vertical
clearance of 49 feet in the closed-tonavigation position referenced to the
vertical clearance above Columbia River
Datum 0.0. The normal operating
schedule is in 33 CFR 117.897(c)(3)(v).
Waterway usage on this part of the
Willamette River includes vessels
ranging from commercial tug and barge
to small pleasure craft. The Coast Guard
provided notice of and requested
objections to this deviation to local
mariners via the Local Notice Mariners,
and email. No objections were
submitted to the Coast Guard.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position may do so at any time. The
bridge will be able to open for
emergencies, and there is no immediate
alternate route for vessels to pass. The
Coast Guard will inform the users of the
waterway, through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners, of the
change in operating schedule for the
bridges so that vessels 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 schedules 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.

Safety Zone; Red Bull Flugtag,
Allegheny River, Pittsburgh, PA
Coast Guard, DHS.
Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters of the Allegheny River
200 yards from the right descending
bank, from mile marker (MM) 0.0 to MM
0.2. This safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of life and
protection of property from potential
hazards associated with the Red Bull
Flugtag event. Entry into this safety
zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Marine Safety Unit Pittsburgh (COTP) or
a designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from 10:30
a.m. through 4:30 p.m. on August 5,
2017.

§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary 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 it is
impracticable. After receiving and fully
reviewing the event information,
circumstances and exact location, the
Coast Guard determined that a safety
zone is necessary to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment
from potential hazards created during
the Red Bull Flugtag event. It is
impracticable to publish a NPRM
because we must establish this safety
zone by August 5, 2017, and lack
sufficient time to provide a reasonable
comment period and then consider
those comments before issuing the rule.
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. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest because
immediate action is needed to protect
persons and property from the dangers
associated with the Red Bull Flugtag
event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The
Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit
Pittsburgh (COTP) has determined that
the potential hazards associated with
the Red Bull Flugtag event present a
safety concern and that a safety zone is
necessary on August 5, 2017. This rule
is needed to provide for the safety of life
and protection of vessels and the marine
environment from potential hazards
created from the Red Bull Flugtag event.
The Coast Guard will notify the public
and maritime community of the
proposed safety zone and enforcement
period via Broadcast Notice to Mariners
(BNM).
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone on
August 5, 2017, from 10:30 a.m. through
4:30 p.m. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters on the Allegheny River
200 yards from the right descending
bank mile marker 0.0 to mile marker 0.2.
The duration of the safety zone is
intended to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment from
potential hazards created from the Red
Bull Flugtag event. No vessel or person
will be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated
representative.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 131 / Tuesday, July 11, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive Order related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
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 13771 directs agencies
to control regulatory costs through a
budgeting process. This rule has not
been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has
not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration
and time-of-year of the safety zone. This
safety zone affects a small portion of
these navigable waterways for a limited
duration of six hours and still will not
impede the channel allowing vessels to
pass through. Due to the limited scope
and short duration of the safety zone,
the impact on routine navigation is
expected to be minimal. Additionally,
the Coast Guard will issue Broadcast
Notices to Mariners via VHF–FM marine
channel 16 about the zone and the rule
allows vessels to seek permission to
transit the zone.
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.
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.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the safety
zone may be small entities, for the
reasons stated in section V.A above, this
rule will not have a significant
economic impact on any vessel owner
or operator.
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:47 Jul 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 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 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 a safety
zone lasting six hours that will prohibit
entry on the Allegheny River 200 yards
from the right descending bank mile 0.0
to mile 0.2 during the Red Bull Flugtag
event. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34 (g) of
Figure 2–1 of the Commandant
Instruction M16475.1D. A Record of
Environmental Consideration (REC)
supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
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.

applicable sections in title 34 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The
following paragraphs describe the
changes we are making to the
regulations and the specific statutory
changes on which the regulatory
changes are based.
Rehabilitation Act
Statute: Rosa’s Law amended the
Rehabilitation Act by substituting
‘‘intellectual disability’’ for ‘‘mental
retardation’’ in section 7(21)(A)(iii) (29
U.S.C. 705(21)(A)(iii)); substituting
‘‘intellectual disabilities’’ for ‘‘mental
retardation’’ in section 204(b)(2)(C)(vi)
(29 U.S.C. 764(b)(2)(C)(vi)); and
substituting ‘‘President’s Disability
Employment Partnership Board and the
President’s Committee for People with
Intellectual Disabilities’’ for ‘‘President’s
Committees on Employment of People
With Disabilities and on Mental
Retardation’’ in section 501(a) (29 U.S.C.
791(a)).
Regulations: We have substituted
‘‘intellectual disability’’ for ‘‘mental
retardation’’ and ‘‘having an intellectual
disability’’ for ‘‘mentally retarded’’ in
the following definitions:

II. Background Information and Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary 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 it is impracticable. After receiving
and fully reviewing the event information, circumstances and exact
location, the Coast Guard determined that a safety zone is necessary to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential
hazards created during the Red Bull Flugtag event. It is impracticable
to publish a NPRM because we must establish this safety zone by August
5, 2017, and lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment
period and then consider those comments before issuing the rule.
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. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed to protect persons and property from
the dangers associated with the Red Bull Flugtag event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit Pittsburgh (COTP) has
determined that the potential hazards associated with the Red Bull
Flugtag event present a safety concern and that a safety zone is
necessary on August 5, 2017. This rule is needed to provide for the
safety of life and protection of vessels and the marine environment
from potential hazards created from the Red Bull Flugtag event. The
Coast Guard will notify the public and maritime community of the
proposed safety zone and enforcement period via Broadcast Notice to
Mariners (BNM).
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone on August 5, 2017, from 10:30
a.m. through 4:30 p.m. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters
on the Allegheny River 200 yards from the right descending bank mile
marker 0.0 to mile marker 0.2. The duration of the safety zone is
intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from
potential hazards created from the Red Bull Flugtag event. No vessel or
person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive Order related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.
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 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration and time-of-year of the safety zone. This safety
zone affects a small portion of these navigable waterways for a limited
duration of six hours and still will not impede the channel allowing
vessels to pass through. Due to the limited scope and short duration of
the safety zone, the impact on routine navigation is expected to be
minimal. Additionally, the Coast Guard will issue Broadcast Notices to
Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone and the rule
allows vessels to seek permission to transit the zone.
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. 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.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 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 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 a safety zone lasting six hours that will prohibit entry
on the Allegheny River 200 yards from the right descending bank mile
0.0 to mile 0.2 during the Red Bull Flugtag event. It is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34 (g) of Figure 2-1 of
the Commandant Instruction M16475.1D. A Record of Environmental
Consideration (REC) supporting this determination is available in the
docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
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.
