II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
Dated: September 28, 2022.
M.W. Bouboulis,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander,
Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
On July 22, 2022, Messiah’s Star LLC
notified the Coast Guard that it will be
conducting a film stunt from 7 p.m. on
October 24, 2022 to 1 a.m. on October
25, 2022, as part of filming for a film
titled ‘‘Just One Life.’’ The stunt is a
controlled fall and is to take place from
the Big Four Pedestrian Bridge to the
Ohio River below at MM 603.
The event will include 3 swimmers, a
deck boat, and a houseboat.
In response, on August 8, 2022, the
Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled
Safety Zone; Ohio River, Louisville, KY
(87 FR 48125). There we stated why we
issued the NPRM and invited comments
on our proposed regulatory action
related to the film stunt. During the
comment period that ended September
7, 2022, we received no comments.
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 necessary to protect
persons and vessels from the safety
hazards associated with the planned
film stunt event.

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 Ohio Valley (COTP)
has determined that potential hazards
associated with the film stunt on
October 24 and 25, 2022, will be a safety
concern for anyone on the navigable
waters of the Ohio River between MM
602.5 and MM 603.5. The purpose of
this rule is to ensure the safety of
vessels and these navigable waters
during the scheduled 7 p.m. through 1
a.m. film stunt.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
As noted above, we received no
comments on the NPRM published on
August 8, 2022. There are no changes in
the regulatory text of this rule from the
proposed rule in the NPRM.
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 7 p.m. on October 24, 2022
through 1 a.m. on October 25, 2022. The
safety zone covers all navigable waters
of the Ohio River between MM 602.5
and MM 603.5. The duration of the zone
is intended to ensure the safety of
vessels and these navigable waters
during the scheduled 7 p.m. through 1
a.m. film stunt. 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.
jspears on DSK121TN23PROD 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.
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.
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration,
and time-of-day of the safety zone. This
safety zone will restrict transit on a onemile stretch of the Ohio River for 6
hours on one night. Moreover, the Coast
Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners via VHF–FM marine channel
16 about the zone and the rule allows
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 received 00 comments
from the Small Business Administration
on this rulemaking. 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 will
affect your small business, organization,
or governmental jurisdiction and you
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:20 Oct 04, 2022
Jkt 259001
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,
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 that will be in place from 7 p.m.
on October 24, 2022 through 1 a.m. on
October 25, 2022 on the Ohio River
between MM 602.5 to MM 603.5.
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.

G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’

I. Background
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our December 7,
2021 proposal (86 FR 69210). In that
document, we proposed to determine
that the St. Bernard Parish SO2
nonattainment area failed to attain the
primary 2010 one-hour SO2 NAAQS
under the CAA by the applicable
attainment date of October 4, 2018. This
proposed determination was based upon
consideration of and review of all
relevant and available information for
the St. Bernard area leading up to the
area’s attainment date of October 4,
2018, including (1) emissions and
monitoring data, (2) the state’s air
quality modeling demonstration, which
showed the emission limits and stack
parameters required at Rain, the primary
source of SO2 emission in the area, that
were necessary to provide for the area’s
attainment, and (3) Rain’s available
compliance records between the period
when the Agreed Order on Consent
(AOC) limits became effective (August
2, 2018) and the area’s attainment date.
The state’s dispersion modeling is based
on the allowable limits in the August 2,
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
60273
2018 AOC between Rain and the
Louisiana Department of Environmental
Quality (LDEQ). Compliance with those
limits showed modeled design values in
attainment of the SO2 NAAQS, but close
to the level of the NAAQS (i.e., with
little margin of safety). Rain, however,
has demonstrated a pattern of difficulty
meeting these federally enforceable
applicable SO2 emission limits and
stack parameters (memorialized in its
Title V permit and the AOC). Review of
Rain’s compliance record provides
evidence that emissions have exceeded
those prescribed limits, and that stack
temperatures and flowrates have not
met the parameters present in the
modeling, such as (1) reported
deviations during the period between
the effective date of the limits and the
attainment date and (2) reported
underestimation of emissions from the
hot stack. As a result of these difficulties
in meeting the limits in the AOC, we
cannot determine that the area attained
the standard by the attainment date.
EPA’s final determination, described
further in this action and explained in
our response to comments, relies on the
same basis and rationale that was used
in our proposed determination.
We received comments on the
December 7, 2021 proposal from several
commenters including the state,
community members and community
groups, and industry groups. In the
following section, we are providing a
summary of responses to certain
significant comments received on the
proposal. In subsections II.B through
II.E of this action, we provide a response
to several community comments that
while not germane to our final decision
here, serve to better aid and inform the
public of matters raised by such
commenters. The response to comments
(RTC) document accompanying this
action and found in the public docket
for this rulemaking contains these
summaries and the full text of all of the
comments that the EPA received during
the public comment period from
December 7, 2021, to January 13, 2022,
our full responses to all comments, and
additional details on our responses that
are not found in this notice. After
careful consideration of the public
comments, EPA is finalizing the
December 7, 2021, proposed finding that
the St. Bernard Parish SO2
nonattainment area has failed to attain
the 2010 one-hour SO2 NAAQS by the
applicable attainment date of October 4,
2018.

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and Regulatory History
On July 22, 2022, Messiah's Star LLC notified the Coast Guard that
it will be conducting a film stunt from 7 p.m. on October 24, 2022 to 1
a.m. on October 25, 2022, as part of filming for a film titled ``Just
One Life.'' The stunt is a controlled fall and is to take place from
the Big Four Pedestrian Bridge to the Ohio River below at MM 603.
The event will include 3 swimmers, a deck boat, and a houseboat.
In response, on August 8, 2022, the Coast Guard published a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone; Ohio River,
Louisville, KY (87 FR 48125). There we stated why we issued the NPRM
and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to the
film stunt. During the comment period that ended September 7, 2022, we
received no comments.
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 necessary to protect persons and vessels
from the safety hazards associated with the planned film stunt event.
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 Ohio Valley
(COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with the film
stunt on October 24 and 25, 2022, will be a safety concern for anyone
on the navigable waters of the Ohio River between MM 602.5 and MM
603.5. The purpose of this rule is to ensure the safety of vessels and
these navigable waters during the scheduled 7 p.m. through 1 a.m. film
stunt.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on the NPRM published on
August 8, 2022. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM.
This rule establishes a safety zone from 7 p.m. on October 24, 2022
through 1 a.m. on October 25, 2022. The safety zone covers all
navigable waters of the Ohio River between MM 602.5 and MM 603.5. The
duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and
these navigable waters during the scheduled 7 p.m. through 1 a.m. film
stunt. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone
[[Page 60272]]
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.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. This safety
zone will restrict transit on a one-mile stretch of the Ohio River for
6 hours on one night. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone and the
rule allows 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 received 00 comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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 will 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 that will be in place from 7 p.m. on October 24, 2022
through 1 a.m. on October 25, 2022 on the Ohio River between MM 602.5
to MM 603.5.
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.
