protection statute enacted by Arizona’s
state legislature (formerly published as
Arizona Revised Statute (A.R.S.) 23–
492), and to reconsider the Arizona
State Plan’s final approval pursuant to
29 CFR 1953.6(e) and 29 CFR 1902.47
(79 FR 49465). OSHA based that
proposal on a finding that Arizona’s
requirements for residential
construction fall protection were not at
least as effective as OSHA’s federal
standard, as required by the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (29
U.S.C. 667(c)(2)).
On February 6, 2015, OSHA
published a Federal Register document
responding to comments received in
response to its proposed rejection
document, and announcing OSHA’s
final decision to reject the Arizona State
Plan’s residential construction fall
protection statute (80 FR 6652).
However, SB 1307 included a
conditional repeal provision. Under this
provision, if OSHA rejected the state
statute and published that decision in
the Federal Register pursuant to 29 CFR
1902.23, then A.R.S. 23–492 would be
repealed by operation of law (SB 1307
Sec. 7). In response to this provision,
OSHA deferred its decision on the
simultaneously proposed action of
reconsidering the State Plan’s final
approval, to allow for Arizona’s repeal
of the rejected statute to take effect, and
to allow for Arizona’s subsequent
enforcement of a standard at least as
effective as OSHA’s standard.
Since that time, Arizona has adopted
OSHA’s residential construction fall
protection standard, 29 CFR part 1926,
subpart M. Federal OSHA has
monitored this issue closely and finds
that Arizona has also successfully
implemented this standard.
Accordingly, OSHA is withdrawing its
proposal to reconsider the Arizona State
Plan’s final approval status.

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain navigable waters of the Fox
River in Green Bay, WI within a 300foot radius of a vessel being used to
launch fireworks. This action is
necessary to provide for the safety of
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards
created by a fireworks display. Entry of
vessels or persons into this zone is
prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Sector Lake Michigan.
DATES: This rule is effective on July 26,
2019 from 8 p.m. through 11 p.m.

§ 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
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 the
Captain of the Port Sector Lake
Michigan (COTP) has determined that
potential safety hazards associated with
this fireworks display pose a threat to
vessel traffic on the Fox River and
immediate action is needed to respond
to those identified hazards. It is
impracticable to publish an NPRM
because this safety zone must be
established by July 26, 2019 and there
is not time for a sufficient comment
period.
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 contrary to the rule’s
objective of protecting against potential
safety hazards associated with a
fireworks display scheduled for July 26,
2019.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP
has determined that potential hazards
associated with a fireworks display on
July 26, 2019, will be a safety concern
for anyone within a 300-foot radius of
a vessel used to launch fireworks on the
Fox River in Green Bay, WI. This rule
is needed to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment in the
navigable waters within the safety zone
for the duration of the fireworks display.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 8 p.m. through 11 p.m. on July 26,
2019. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters of the Fox River in
Green Bay, WI within 300 feet of a
vessel used to launch fireworks at
latitude 44°31′ 4″ N, longitude 088°1′ 1″
W. The duration of the zone is intended
to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment for the duration of
the fireworks display. 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 orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
E:\FR\FM\26JYR1.SGM
26JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 144 / Friday, July 26, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
Executive orders, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD 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 size and duration of this
safety zone. This safety zone will be
enforced for all navigable waters of the
Fox River within 300 feet of a vessel
used to launch fireworks for no more
than three hours on one day.
Additionally, the COTP may consider,
on a case-by-case basis, to allow vessels
to enter this safety zone during the
enforcement period. We anticipate that
it will have minimal impact on the
economy, will not interfere with other
agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients,
and will not raise any novel legal or
policy issues. Also, the safety zone is
designed to minimize its impact on
navigable waters.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:08 Jul 25, 2019
Jkt 247001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
35991
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
Directive 023–01 and Environmental
Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
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 only three hours that will
prohibit entry within 300 feet of a vessel
being used to launch fireworks. It is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L60(a) in Table
3–1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental
Planning Implementing Procedures
5090.1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this
determination will be made available in
the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES once it is completed.
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.

good cause exists for not publishing a

with respect to this rule because the
event sponsor notified the Coast Guard
with insufficient time to accommodate

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast

reasons discussed in the preceding
paragraph.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The
Captain of the Port Detroit (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards
associated with fireworks displays will
be a safety concern for anyone within a
400 foot radius of the launch site. The
likely combination of recreational
vessels, darkness punctuated by bright
flashes of light, and fireworks debris
falling into the water presents risks of
collisions which could result in serious
injuries or fatalities. This rule is needed
to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone during the
fireworks display.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone that
will be enforced from 9:15 p.m. until 10
p.m. on August 3, 2019. The safety zone
will encompass all U.S. navigable
waters of the Huron River within a 400
foot radius of the fireworks launch site
located at position 41°23′32.5″ N
082°33′7.1″ W. All geographic
coordinates are North American Datum
of 1983 (NAD 83).
The duration of the zone is intended
to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in these navigable
waters during the fireworks display.
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring
within the safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port, Sector Detroit or his designated
representative. The Captain of the Port,

representative may be contacted via

B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as

regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations

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

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
Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
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 only three hours
that will prohibit entry within 300 feet of a vessel being used to
launch fireworks. It is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L60(a) in Table 3-1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental
Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination will be made available in
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES once it is completed.
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.
