U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
For the last several years, the Coast
Guard has sought to better align the
names of its assets to correspond to the
area of responsibility which they serve.
Review of the missions and
engagements within the northern Great
Lakes region highlighted that ‘‘Sector
Sault Sainte Marie’’ alone did not
adequately capture the breadth and
range of Coast Guard operations and
relationships throughout the region. The
Coast Guard has approved the name
change to U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Northern Great Lakes to acknowledge
the long-standing commitment to all
communities of the region and to
reaffirm the multi-mission support that
the Coast Guard provides to ensure
safety at sea and enhanced maritime
governance. The geographic boundaries
of Sector Northern Great Lakes are not
changing, and its office is not moving
from Sault Sainte Marie, MI.
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) before
this final rule. The Coast Guard finds
that this rule is exempt from notice and
comment rulemaking requirements
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A) because the
changes it makes are conforming
amendments involving agency
organization. The Coast Guard also finds
good cause exists under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) for not publishing an NPRM
because the changes will have no
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
88249
substantive effect on the public and
notice and comment are therefore
unnecessary. For the same reasons, the
Coast Guard finds good cause exists
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the
rule effective fewer than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 14 U.S.C. 504(a)(2),
as delegated at 33 CFR 1.05–1(h), to
issue regulations necessary to
implement technical, organizational,
and conforming amendments and
corrections to rules, regulations, and
notices.
On November 06, 2023, the Coast
Guard issued Operating Facility Change
Order (OFCO) No. 037–23 which
changed the official unit name of U.S.
Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie
to U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern
Great Lakes. The previous name of
Sector Sault Sainte Marie is described
and reflected in regulations, which also
contain contact details and other
references to Sector Sault Sainte Marie.
These conforming amendments update
those regulations so that they contain
current information.
Under 14 U.S.C. 504(a)(2), the
Commandant of the Coast Guard has the
authority to establish and prescribe the
purpose of Coast Guard Shore
establishments. This authority has been
delegated to the Chief of the Coast
Guard’s Office of Regulations and
Administrative Law under 33 CFR 1.05–
1(h).
IV. Discussion of the Rule
OFCO No. 037–23, issued November
06, 2023, changed the official unit name
of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte
Marie to U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Northern Great Lakes. The November
2023 OFCO did not change the area of
responsibility (AOR). The AOR of U.S.
Coast Guard Sector Northern Great
Lakes is identical to that of what was
U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte
Marie. All authorities and
responsibilities previously assigned to
Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Sault Sainte Marie have been assigned
to Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Northern Great Lakes. Additionally, all
authorities that were vested in the
Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Sault Sainte Marie as it pertains to the
COTP, the OCMI, the Federal On Scene
Coordinator, the Federal Maritime
Security Coordinator, and the Search
and Rescue Coordinator, have been
assigned to Commander, U.S. Coast
Guard Sector Northern Great Lakes. This
rule does not change any sector, OCMI,
or COTP zone boundary lines, nor does
E:\FR\FM\21DER1.SGM
21DER1
88250
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 244 / Thursday, December 21, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
it have any substantive impact on
existing regulated navigation area, safety
zone, or security zone regulation, or any
naval vessel protection zones.
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.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD 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
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094
(Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, this rule has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the finding that the name
change will have no substantive effect
on the public.
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.
For the reasons stated in section V.A.
above, this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on any
member of the public, including ‘‘small
entities.’’
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:43 Dec 20, 2023
Jkt 262001
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 consists only of
an organizational amendment. It is
categorically excluded from further

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary interim 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), 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. This bridge is secured
closed and will be secured closed until
design plans are finalized, coordination
of construction schedule can be made
with landowners and PG&E, contractor
hired, and repairs completed.
On June 21, 2023, RD2030 notified the
Coast Guard that the Zuckerman
Brothers (McDonald Island) retractable
span bridge should not open for the
passage of vessels. The cause was the
gradual movement which squeezed the
abutments towards the center movable
steel section. The span cannot be
opened without the risk of it being stuck
in the open-to-navigation position. The
Zuckerman Brothers (McDonald Island)
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
88251
bridge is the only road in and out of
McDonald Island, which includes farms
and a PG&E station and wells. The Coast
Guard granted a Notice of Temporary
Deviation (NOTD) from the operating
schedule of the bridge, allowing the
span to be secured in the closed
position until repairs can be made. The
NOTD will expire at 7 a.m. on December
18, 2023. The design, coordination of
work with affected parties, and repair is
delayed. The retractable span will not
be operational at the expiration of the
NOTD. The Coast Guard received the
report of these delays on November 17,
2023. Therefore, there is insufficient
time to provide a reasonable comment
period and then consider those
comments before issuing the
modification.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making it effective in less than 30 days
after publication in the Federal
Register. For reasons presented above,
delaying the effective date of this rule
would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest because the
retractable span of the bridge is
currently secured closed and cannot be
operated until repairs are completed.
We are soliciting comments on this
rulemaking. If the Coast Guard
determines that changes to the
temporary interim rule are necessary,
we will publish a temporary final rule
or other appropriate document.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary interim rule under authority
in 33 U.S.C. 499. The Coast Guard is
modifying the operating schedule that
governs the Zuckerman Brothers
(McDonald Island) bridge, mile 2.3,
across Turner Cut, near Stockton, CA.
The Zuckerman Brothers (McDonald
Island) bridge has a vertical clearance,
in the closed position, of 16 feet at mean
high water and unlimited vertical
clearance when opened.
The existing drawbridge regulation,
33 CFR 117.5, states that the draw of the
Zuckerman Brothers (McDonald Island)
bridge must open for vessels if a signal
is given to do so. RD2030, the bridge
owner, has requested this modification
as additional time is required to
complete bridge repairs.
Drawtender logs from January 2022
through June 2023 indicate the span
opened on average, 2 times in January;
1 time in February; 1 time in March; 3
times in April; 11 times in May; 8 times
in June; 18 times in July; 6 times in
August; 7 times in September; 4 times
in October; 2 times in November; and 3
times in December. No complaints have
been received from mariners since the

We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) before
this final rule. The Coast Guard finds that this rule is exempt from
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A)
because the changes it makes are conforming amendments involving agency
organization. The Coast Guard also finds good cause exists under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) for not publishing an NPRM because the changes will
have no substantive effect on the public and notice and comment are
therefore unnecessary. For the same reasons, the Coast Guard finds good

than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 14 U.S.C.
504(a)(2), as delegated at 33 CFR 1.05-1(h), to issue regulations
necessary to implement technical, organizational, and conforming
amendments and corrections to rules, regulations, and notices.
On November 06, 2023, the Coast Guard issued Operating Facility
Change Order (OFCO) No. 037-23 which changed the official unit name of
U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie to U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Northern Great Lakes. The previous name of Sector Sault Sainte Marie is
described and reflected in regulations, which also contain contact
details and other references to Sector Sault Sainte Marie. These
conforming amendments update those regulations so that they contain
current information.
Under 14 U.S.C. 504(a)(2), the Commandant of the Coast Guard has
the authority to establish and prescribe the purpose of Coast Guard
Shore establishments. This authority has been delegated to the Chief of
the Coast Guard's Office of Regulations and Administrative Law under 33
CFR 1.05-1(h).
IV. Discussion of the Rule
OFCO No. 037-23, issued November 06, 2023, changed the official
unit name of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie to U.S. Coast
Guard Sector Northern Great Lakes. The November 2023 OFCO did not
change the area of responsibility (AOR). The AOR of U.S. Coast Guard
Sector Northern Great Lakes is identical to that of what was U.S. Coast
Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie. All authorities and responsibilities
previously assigned to Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte
Marie have been assigned to Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern
Great Lakes. Additionally, all authorities that were vested in the
Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie as it pertains to
the COTP, the OCMI, the Federal On Scene Coordinator, the Federal
Maritime Security Coordinator, and the Search and Rescue Coordinator,
have been assigned to Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern Great
Lakes. This rule does not change any sector, OCMI, or COTP zone
boundary lines, nor does
[[Page 88250]]
it have any substantive impact on existing regulated navigation area,
safety zone, or security zone regulation, or any naval vessel
protection zones.
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.

This regulatory action determination is based on the finding that
the name change will have no substantive effect on the public.
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.
For the reasons stated in section V.A. above, this rule will not
have a significant economic impact on any member of the public,
including ``small entities.''
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 consists only of
an organizational amendment. It is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L3 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1, Implementation of the National
Environmental Policy Act.
