Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 202 / Friday, October 20, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
result in expenditures in any one year
by a state, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector, of
$100 million in 1995 dollars, updated
annually for inflation. This rule does
not include any Federal mandate that
may result in expenditures by state,
local, or tribal governments, or by the
private sector in excess of that
threshold.
IV. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
prohibits an agency from publishing any
rule that has federalism implications if
the rule either imposes substantial,
direct compliance costs on state and
local governments, and is not required
by statute, or preempts state law, unless
the agency meets the consultation and
funding requirements of section 6 of the
Executive order. These final regulations
do not have federalism implications and
do not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on state and local
governments or preempt state law
within the meaning of the Executive
order.
V. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs
designated this rule as not a major rule,
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Drafting Information
The principal author of these
regulations is Carolyn M. Lee, Office of
the Associate Chief Counsel (Procedure
and Administration). Other personnel
from the Treasury Department and the
IRS participated in the development of
the regulations.

to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment from potential
hazards created by aerial operations.
Entry of vessels or persons into this
zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Sector Ohio Valley.
DATES: This rule is effective from 7 a.m.
on October 21, 2023 through 6 p.m. on
October 22, 2023. This rule will be

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
immediate action is needed to respond
and repair to the potential safety
hazards associated with the aerial
operations. It is impracticable to publish
an NPRM because we must establish
this safety zone by October 21st, 2023.
An aerial conductor will be replaced by
Nashville Electric Service between mile
markers 190–191 which could cause a
hazard to navigation on the Cumberland
River. The safety zone must be
established to protect people and
vessels associated with and resulting
from the aerial operations and we lack
sufficient time to provide a reasonable
comment period and then consider
those comments before issuing the rule.
This safety zone may include closures
or navigation restrictions and
requirements that are vital to maintain
safe navigation on the Cumberland
River during aerial operations.
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 action is needed to respond to
E:\FR\FM\20OCR1.SGM
20OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 202 / Friday, October 20, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
the potential safety hazards associated
with the aerial operations starting
October 21, 2023.
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 Sector Ohio Valley
(COTP) has determined that potential
hazards associated with the aerial
operations from October 21 and 22,
2023, will be a safety concern for
anyone within mile marker 190–191.
This rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in
the navigable waters within the safety
zone while the aerial operations are
taking place.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone that
will be enforced from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.
on October 21 and 22, 2023. The safety
zone will cover all navigable waters
within mile markers 190–191. The
duration of the zone is intended to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in these navigable
waters while the aerial operations are
being conducted. 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 location of the event on
the Cumberland River lasting only 11
hours daily for two days. Vessels will be
able to contact the COTP for
instructions on how to transit around
the zone safely.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:07 Oct 19, 2023
Jkt 262001
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, this rule will
only last 11 hours, 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
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
72371
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 safety
zone lasting only 11 hours a day, for two
days, that will prohibit entry within
mile marker 181–183 of the Cumberland
River. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
A. General Information
Does this action apply to me?
Regulated entities: These final
findings do not themselves apply new
requirements to entities other than the
EPA and the FAA. With respect to
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
requirements for the EPA and the FAA,
as indicated in the proposal for this
action, if the EPA issues final findings
that emissions of lead from certain
classes of engines used in certain
aircraft cause or contribute to air
pollution which may reasonably be
anticipated to endanger public health or
welfare, the EPA then becomes subject
to a duty to propose and promulgate
emission standards pursuant to section
231 of the Clean Air Act. Upon EPA’s
issuance of regulations, the FAA shall
prescribe regulations to ensure
compliance with the EPA’s emission
standards pursuant to section 232 of the
Clean Air Act. In contrast to the
findings, those future standards would
apply to and have an effect on other
entities outside the Federal
Government. In addition, pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 44714, the FAA has a statutory
mandate to prescribe standards for the
composition or chemical or physical
properties of an aircraft fuel or fuel
additive to control or eliminate aircraft
emissions which the EPA has found
endanger public health or welfare under
section 231(a) of the Clean Air Act. In
issuing these final findings, the EPA is
making such a finding for emissions of
lead from engines in covered aircraft.
The classes of aircraft engines and of
aircraft relevant to this final action are
referred to as ‘‘covered aircraft engines’’
and as ‘‘covered aircraft,’’ respectively
throughout this document. Covered
aircraft engines in this context means
any aircraft engine that is capable of
using leaded aviation gasoline. Covered
aircraft in this context means all aircraft
and ultralight vehicles 1 equipped with
covered engines. Covered aircraft
would, for example, include smaller
piston-engine aircraft such as the Cessna
172 (single-engine aircraft) and the
Beechcraft Baron G58 (twin-engine
aircraft), as well as the largest pistonengine aircraft such as the Curtiss C–46
and the Douglas DC–6. Other examples
of covered aircraft would include
rotorcraft,2 such as the Robinson R44
helicopter, light-sport aircraft, and
ultralight vehicles equipped with piston
engines. Because the majority of covered
aircraft are piston-engine powered, this
document focuses on those aircraft (in
some contexts the EPA refers to these
same engines as reciprocating engines).
All such references and examples used
in this document are covered aircraft as
defined in this paragraph.
1 The FAA regulates ultralight vehicles under 14
CFR part 103.
2 Rotorcraft encompass helicopters, gyroplanes,
and any other heavier-than-air aircraft that depend
principally for support in flight on the lift generated
by one or more rotors.

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 immediate action is needed to respond
and repair to the potential safety hazards associated with the aerial
operations. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must
establish this safety zone by October 21st, 2023. An aerial conductor
will be replaced by Nashville Electric Service between mile markers
190-191 which could cause a hazard to navigation on the Cumberland
River. The safety zone must be established to protect people and
vessels associated with and resulting from the aerial operations and we
lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment period and then
consider those comments before issuing the rule. This safety zone may
include closures or navigation restrictions and requirements that are
vital to maintain safe navigation on the Cumberland River during aerial
operations.
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 action is needed to respond to
[[Page 72371]]
the potential safety hazards associated with the aerial operations
starting October 21, 2023.
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 Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) has determined
that potential hazards associated with the aerial operations from
October 21 and 22, 2023, will be a safety concern for anyone within
mile marker 190-191. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety
zone while the aerial operations are taking place.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone that will be enforced from 7
a.m. until 6 p.m. on October 21 and 22, 2023. The safety zone will
cover all navigable waters within mile markers 190-191. The duration of
the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters while the aerial operations are
being conducted. 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 location of
the event on the Cumberland River lasting only 11 hours daily for two
days. Vessels will be able to contact the COTP for instructions on how
to transit around the zone safely.
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, this rule will only last 11 hours,
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 safety
zone lasting only 11 hours a day, for two days, that will prohibit
entry within mile marker 181-183 of the Cumberland River. 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.
