The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers is proposing to amend the
regulations for the existing danger zone
at the U.S. Marine Corps Ulupau Crater
Weapons Training Range in the vicinity
of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. The U.S.
Marine Corps requested a change to the
hours that weapons firing may occur.
These regulations are necessary to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
David Olson, Headquarters, Operations
and Regulatory Community of Practice,
Washington, DC at 202–761–4922.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to its authorities in section 7 of the
Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat.
266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and chapter XIX of the
Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40
Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3), the Corps is
proposing to amend the danger zone
regulations at 33 CFR 334.1380 to
change the hours that weapons firing
may occur at the Ulupau Crater
Weapons Training Range, Marine Corps
Base Hawaii (MCBH), Kaneohe Bay,
Island of Oahu, Hawaii.
The danger zone represents a public
safety buffer beyond the physical
boundaries of the training range to
further reduce the safety threat to the
boating public. The geographical nature
of the crater combined with the use of
man-made measures makes the crater
secure from unintended projectiles
exiting its confines, although a very
slight possibility exists that a projectile
could ricochet or otherwise be
inadvertently fired beyond the confines
of the crater. Under current conditions,
sensitive wildlife areas, including
designated protected areas, are
encompassed within the existing
boundaries of the danger zone. Since
munitions are not intentionally fired
into waters surrounding Ulupau Crater
and the probability of an unintended
projectile exiting the crater is negligible,
an extension in the time that weapons
may be fired will not incrementally
change, modify or otherwise adversely
impact sensitive marine species and
organisms that inhabit or are supported
by the waters and protected areas
occurring within the danger zone.
Marine resources, including endangered
species, migratory shorebirds, and other
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:14 Dec 06, 2023
Jkt 262001
seabirds that occupy designated
protected areas will remain adequately
protected by the MCBH under
obligations of pre-existing agreements.
For similar reasons, submerged lands
will not be directly or indirectly
adversely affected by the expanded
danger zone.
The current regulations state that
weapons firing at the Ulupau Crater
Weapons Training Range may occur at
any time between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.,
Monday through Sunday. In the
proposed rule, the time period for
weapons firing is extended three hours
so that weapons may be fired at any
time between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m., Monday
through Sunday.
Procedural Requirements
a. Regulatory Planning and Review.
This proposed rule is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993) and Executive Order 13563 (76 FR
3821, January 21, 2011) and it was not
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review.
b. Review under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. This proposed rule has
been reviewed under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354). The
Regulatory Flexibility Act generally
requires an agency to prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule
subject to notice-and-comment
rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the agency certifies
that the rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities (i.e., small
businesses and small governments). The
danger zone is necessary to protect
public safety during use of the weapons
firing range. The danger zone regulation
allows any vessel that needs to transit
the danger zone to expeditiously transit
through the danger zone whenever
weapons firing is scheduled. The
proposed amendment to this regulation
would only change the hours when the
danger zone is activated; it would not
change the geographic extent of the
existing danger zone. When the range is
not in use, the danger zone will be open
to normal maritime traffic and to all
activities, include anchoring and
loitering. When the danger zone is
activated, small entities can utilize
navigable waters outside of the danger
zone. Unless information is obtained to
the contrary during the comment
period, the Corps certifies that the
proposed rule would have no significant
economic impact on the public.
c. Review under the National
Environmental Policy Act. Due to the
administrative nature of this action and
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
because there is no intended change in
the use of the area, the Corps expects
that this regulation, if adopted, will not
have a significant impact on the quality
of the human environment and,
therefore, preparation of an
environmental impact statement will
not be required. An environmental
assessment will be prepared after the
public notice period is closed and all
comments received have been
considered.
d. Unfunded Mandates Act. This
proposed rule does not contain a
Federal mandate that may result in
expenditures of $100 million or more
for state, local, and tribal governments,
in the aggregate, or the private sector in
any one year. Therefore, this proposed
rule is not subject to the requirements
of sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). The
proposed rule contains no regulatory
requirements that might significantly or
uniquely affect small governments.
Therefore, the proposed rule is not
subject to the requirements of section
203 of UMRA.
e. Congressional Review Act. The
Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801
et seq., generally provides that before a
rule may take effect, the agency
promulgating the rule must submit a
rule report, which includes a copy of
the rule, to each House of the Congress
and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The Corps will submit a
report containing the final rule and
other required information to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States. A major
rule cannot take effect until 60 days
after it is published in the Federal
Register. This proposed rule is not a
‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 334
Danger zones, Navigation (water),
Restricted areas, Waterways.
For the reasons stated in the
preamble, the Corps proposes to amend
33 CFR part 334 as follows:

RESTRICTED AREA REGULATIONS
1. The authority citation for 33 CFR
part 334 continues to read as follows:

I. Introduction
1. High-speed internet is critical to
educational equity, economic
opportunity, job creation, and civic
engagement. Since its inception, the
Federal Communications Commission’s
(Commission) E-Rate program has
supported high-speed, affordable
internet services to and within school
and library buildings, and has been
instrumental in providing students and
library patrons with access to the
essential broadband services that are
required for next-generation learning.
But advances in technology have
changed the modern learning
environment to increasingly employ
interactive online education tools that
can be used anywhere, at any time,
allowing students to develop the digital
skills needed to prosper in the 21st
Century. The ongoing proliferation of
innovative digital learning technologies
and the need to connect students,
teachers, and library patrons to jobs,
life-long learning, and information have
led to a steady rise in the demand for
broadband connectivity both inside and
outside of school and library buildings.
In response to those needs, the
Commission proposes and seeks
comment on updates to the E-Rate
program to ensure the program is
equipped to support the ongoing remote
learning needs of today’s students,
school staff, and library patrons.
2. In recent years, the demand for
connectivity beyond school and library
buildings became a crisis when the
COVID–19 pandemic disrupted
operations and caused schools and
libraries across the country to
temporarily close their doors. Millions
of students caught in the ‘‘Homework
Gap’’—i.e., students unable to fully
participate in educational opportunities
because they lack broadband
connectivity in their homes—suddenly
found themselves unable to participate
in education at all. Library patrons who
relied on their local libraries for remote
learning opportunities and internet
access suddenly experienced a loss of
these critical services when most, if not
all, library buildings closed their doors
by the summer of 2020. However, even
before the COVID–19 pandemic, the
Homework Gap affected somewhere
between 8.5 to 16 million K–12
students, leaving 15% of U.S.
households with children ages six to
seventeen lacking a high-speed internet
connection at home and approximately
one in four households without highspeed internet access. Although the ERate program helped approximately
98% of the K–12 schools and districts
in the country meet the Commission’s

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is proposing to amend the
regulations for the existing danger zone at the U.S. Marine Corps
Ulupau Crater Weapons Training Range in the vicinity of Kaneohe Bay,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Olson, Headquarters,
Operations and Regulatory Community of Practice, Washington, DC at 202-
761-4922.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to its authorities in section 7 of
the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and
chapter XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33
U.S.C. 3), the Corps is proposing to amend the danger zone regulations
at 33 CFR 334.1380 to change the hours that weapons firing may occur at
the Ulupau Crater Weapons Training Range, Marine Corps Base Hawaii
(MCBH), Kaneohe Bay, Island of Oahu, Hawaii.
The danger zone represents a public safety buffer beyond the
physical boundaries of the training range to further reduce the safety
threat to the boating public. The geographical nature of the crater
combined with the use of man-made measures makes the crater secure from
unintended projectiles exiting its confines, although a very slight
possibility exists that a projectile could ricochet or otherwise be
inadvertently fired beyond the confines of the crater. Under current
conditions, sensitive wildlife areas, including designated protected
areas, are encompassed within the existing boundaries of the danger
zone. Since munitions are not intentionally fired into waters
surrounding Ulupau Crater and the probability of an unintended
projectile exiting the crater is negligible, an extension in the time
that weapons may be fired will not incrementally change, modify or
otherwise adversely impact sensitive marine species and organisms that
inhabit or are supported by the waters and protected areas occurring
within the danger zone. Marine resources, including endangered species,
migratory shorebirds, and other seabirds that occupy designated
protected areas will remain adequately protected by the MCBH under
obligations of pre-existing agreements. For similar reasons, submerged
lands will not be directly or indirectly adversely affected by the
expanded danger zone.
The current regulations state that weapons firing at the Ulupau
Crater Weapons Training Range may occur at any time between 6 a.m. and
11 p.m., Monday through Sunday. In the proposed rule, the time period
for weapons firing is extended three hours so that weapons may be fired
at any time between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m., Monday through Sunday.
Procedural Requirements
a. Regulatory Planning and Review. This proposed rule is not a
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January
21, 2011) and it was not submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget for review.
b. Review under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This proposed rule
has been reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-
354). The Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities (i.e., small businesses and small
governments). The danger zone is necessary to protect public safety
during use of the weapons firing range. The danger zone regulation
allows any vessel that needs to transit the danger zone to
expeditiously transit through the danger zone whenever weapons firing
is scheduled. The proposed amendment to this regulation would only
change the hours when the danger zone is activated; it would not change
the geographic extent of the existing danger zone. When the range is
not in use, the danger zone will be open to normal maritime traffic and
to all activities, include anchoring and loitering. When the danger
zone is activated, small entities can utilize navigable waters outside
of the danger zone. Unless information is obtained to the contrary
during the comment period, the Corps certifies that the proposed rule
would have no significant economic impact on the public.
c. Review under the National Environmental Policy Act. Due to the
administrative nature of this action and because there is no intended
change in the use of the area, the Corps expects that this regulation,
if adopted, will not have a significant impact on the quality of the
human environment and, therefore, preparation of an environmental
impact statement will not be required. An environmental assessment will
be prepared after the public notice period is closed and all comments
received have been considered.
d. Unfunded Mandates Act. This proposed rule does not contain a
Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more
for state, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the
private sector in any one year. Therefore, this proposed rule is not
subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). The proposed rule contains no regulatory
requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. Therefore, the proposed rule is not subject to the
requirements of section 203 of UMRA.
e. Congressional Review Act. The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C.
801 et seq., generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes
a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. The Corps will submit a
report containing the final rule and other required information to the
U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States. A major rule cannot take effect until 60
days after it is published in the Federal Register. This proposed rule
is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
