NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ 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. The Coast Guard was
notified of the event without ample time
for the NPRM process. We must
establish this safety zone by August 7,
2021, and lack sufficient time to provide
a reasonable comment period and then
consider those comments before issuing
this 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 contrary to public
interest because immediate action is
needed to ensure the safety of the
participants and vessels during the
Music City Grand Prix Fireworks
Display on August 7, 2021.
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
E:\FR\FM\23JYR1.SGM
23JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 139 / Friday, July 23, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
(COTP) has determined that potential
hazards associated with the Music City
Grand Prix Fireworks Display on August
7, 2021, will be a safety concern for
anyone within a 1.0 mile radius of the
fireworks barge. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone while the
Music City Grand Prix Fireworks
display is occurring.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary
safety zone on the Cumberland River,
starting at mile marker 190.5 and ending
at 191.5, extending from bank to bank
within the river. The safety zone will be
enforced from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on
August 7, 2021. The duration of the
zone is intended to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in
these navigable waters while the Music
City Grand Prix Fireworks Display is
taking place. No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the
COTP or a designated representative.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
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, location, duration,
and time-of-day of the safety zone.
Vessel traffic will be able to safely
transit around this safety zone which
would impact a small designated area of
the Cumberland River before or after the
time of the events on each day.
Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue
a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
VHF–FM marine channel 16 about the
zone, and the rule would allow vessels
to seek permission to enter the zone.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:54 Jul 22, 2021
Jkt 253001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
38927
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 1.5 hours spread over the
course of 1 day that would prohibit
entry within 1 mile of the fireworks
barge. 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.

The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is making a finding that
Arizona has not submitted a required
revision to the Arizona State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the West
Pinal County nonattainment area
addressing Clean Air Act (CAA)
requirements for a Moderate area
attainment plan, related rules, and other
analyses needed to attain the 1987 24hour particulate matter (PM10) National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)
by December 31, 2018. Under the CAA,
Arizona was required to submit a
moderate area PM10 attainment plan for
West Pinal County no later than January
2, 2014, and the State did so on
December 21, 2015. On May 17, 2021,
Arizona withdrew its Moderate area
attainment plan submission. This
finding establishes a deadline for EPA to
promulgate a Federal Implementation
Plan (FIP) to address these CAA
requirements 24 months from the
effective date of this finding. The CAA
also provides for the imposition of
sanctions if Arizona does not submit the
required attainment plan within
timeframes specified by the CAA.
DATES: This finding is effective on
August 23, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
553 of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that
an agency may issue a rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for
public comment when that agency finds
for good cause that notice and public
procedure are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. The EPA has determined that
there is good cause for issuing this
finding without prior proposal and
opportunity for comment because there
is little or no judgment involved for the
EPA to make a finding of failure to
submit SIPs or elements of SIPs required
by the CAA, where states have not
submitted a required SIP revision by the
date specified by statute, made
incomplete submissions, or, as in this
case, withdrawn an existing submission.
In such circumstances, EPA finds that
notice and public procedures are
unnecessary and that this constitutes
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
Throughout this document, ‘‘we,’’
‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our’’ refer to the EPA.

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 it is impracticable. The Coast Guard
was notified of the event without ample time for the NPRM process. We
must establish this safety zone by August 7, 2021, and lack sufficient
time to provide a reasonable comment period and then consider those
comments before issuing this 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 contrary to public interest because immediate action
is needed to ensure the safety of the participants and vessels during
the Music City Grand Prix Fireworks Display on August 7, 2021.
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
[[Page 38927]]
Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the Music City Grand Prix Fireworks
Display on August 7, 2021, will be a safety concern for anyone within a
1.0 mile radius of the fireworks barge. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone while the Music City Grand Prix Fireworks
display is occurring.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary safety zone on the Cumberland
River, starting at mile marker 190.5 and ending at 191.5, extending
from bank to bank within the river. The safety zone will be enforced
from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on August 7, 2021. The duration of the zone
is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment
in these navigable waters while the Music City Grand Prix Fireworks
Display is taking place. 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,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be able to safely transit around this safety zone which would
impact a small designated area of the Cumberland River before or after
the time of the events on each day. Moreover, the Coast Guard would
issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about
the zone, and the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter
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
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 1.5 hours spread over the course of 1 day that
would prohibit entry within 1 mile of the fireworks barge. 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.
