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 doing
so would be impracticable and prompt
action is needed to respond to the
potential safety hazards associated with
the Savannah boat parade. The Coast
Guard received initial notice of the
event on April 26, 2021 regarding the
event beginning on July 4, 2021, but did
not have final details to prepare a
regulation until May 25, 2021. The
event would begin before the
rulemaking process would be
completed. Because of the dangers
posed by the parade, a safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of
persons, vessels, and the marine
environment in the event area. It is
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest to delay promulgating this rule
because the rule is necessary to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
E:\FR\FM\16JNR1.SGM
16JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 16, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
environment from potential hazards
created by the boat parade.
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
because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with the boat parade.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The
Captain of the Port (COTP) Savannah
has determined that potential hazards
associated with the boat parade starting
July 4, 2021, will be a safety concern for
anyone on the Savannah River from the
Elba Island Cut Jetty Light to the Eugene
Talmage Memorial Bridge, Savannah,
GA. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone while the parade
is underway.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. on July 4, 2021.
The safety zone will cover all navigable
waters from the Savannah River from
the Elba Island Cut Jetty Light to the
Eugene Talmage Memorial Bridge,
Savannah, GA. The duration of the zone
is intended to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in
these navigable waters while the bridge
is being repaired. 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
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.
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).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, duration, and scope
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:52 Jun 15, 2021
Jkt 253001
of the safety zone. The safety zone is
limited in duration and size as it will be
enforced for only three hours and will
cover all navigable waters from the
Savannah River from the Elba Island Cut
Jetty Light to the Eugene Talmage
Memorial Bridge, Savannah, GA. The
zone is limited in scope as vessels and
persons seeking to transit through the
regulated area may seek authority from
the COTP or a designated
representative. The Coast Guard will
provide notification of the regulated
area to the local maritime community by
Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF–FM marine
channel 16, and a Marine Safety
Security Bulletin.
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 call or email 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
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
31917
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.
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, Rev. 1, associated
implementing instructions, 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 3 hours that will
prohibit entry on the Savannah River

I. Background
On March 16, 2021, the EPA proposed
to rescind the FIP for NGS that we
promulgated on October 3, 1991 (‘‘1991
FIP’’), March 5, 2010 (‘‘2010 FIP’’), and
August 8, 2014 (‘‘2014 FIP’’).1 The
provisions of the 1991 action are
codified in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 52.145(d),
the provisions of the 2010 action are
codified at 40 CFR 49.5513(a) through
(i), and provisions of the 2014 action are
codified at 40 CFR 49.5513(j). We refer
collectively to the provisions from the
1991, 2010, and 2014 actions as the
‘‘FIP’’ or the ‘‘NGS FIP.’’ The NGS FIP
includes federally enforceable emissions
limitations that apply to the fossil fuelfired steam generating equipment,
designated as Units 1, 2, and 3,
equipment associated with the coal and
ash handling, and the two auxiliary
steam boilers at NGS. These emissions
limitations apply to emissions of
particulate matter (PM), opacity, sulfur
dioxide (SO2), and oxides of nitrogen
(NOX). The EPA is proposing to rescind
the NGS FIP and remove the provisions

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. 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 doing so would be impracticable and
prompt action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with the Savannah boat parade. The Coast Guard received
initial notice of the event on April 26, 2021 regarding the event
beginning on July 4, 2021, but did not have final details to prepare a
regulation until May 25, 2021. The event would begin before the
rulemaking process would be completed. Because of the dangers posed by
the parade, a safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of
persons, vessels, and the marine environment in the event area. It is
impracticable and contrary to the public interest to delay promulgating
this rule because the rule is necessary to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine
[[Page 31917]]
environment from potential hazards created by the boat parade.
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 because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the boat
parade.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The Captain of the Port (COTP) Savannah has determined that
potential hazards associated with the boat parade starting July 4,
2021, will be a safety concern for anyone on the Savannah River from
the Elba Island Cut Jetty Light to the Eugene Talmage Memorial Bridge,
Savannah, GA. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and
the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone
while the parade is underway.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. on
July 4, 2021. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters from the
Savannah River from the Elba Island Cut Jetty Light to the Eugene
Talmage Memorial Bridge, Savannah, GA. The duration of the zone is
intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in
these navigable waters while the bridge is being repaired. 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 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. 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).
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
duration, and scope of the safety zone. The safety zone is limited in
duration and size as it will be enforced for only three hours and will
cover all navigable waters from the Savannah River from the Elba Island
Cut Jetty Light to the Eugene Talmage Memorial Bridge, Savannah, GA.
The zone is limited in scope as vessels and persons seeking to transit
through the regulated area may seek authority from the COTP or a
designated representative. The Coast Guard will provide notification of
the regulated area to the local maritime community by Local Notice to
Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16,
and a Marine Safety Security Bulletin.
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
call or email 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.
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, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, 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 3 hours that will prohibit entry on the
Savannah River
[[Page 31918]]
from the Elba Island Cut Jetty Light to the Eugene Talmage Memorial
Bridge. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-
01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting
this determination is available in the docket. For instructions on
locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email 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.
