information for the benefit and specific
interest to the U.S. military community,
especially those serving overseas,
including DoD civilian and military
personnel, contractor personnel,
veterans, and their families.
(b) Stripes’ content is to be provided
at reasonable cost to the U.S. military
community, comparable to the retail
sales price of similar commercial news
and information content throughout the
United States, to ensure the greatest
access for its audience.
(c) Stripes’ editorial operations are
independent of the military chain of
command, military public affairs
activities, or other external influences,
and without censorship, inappropriate
news management, or propaganda, but
they fully comply with the policies and
procedures that prevent the disclosure
of information that is classified national
security information or controlled
unclassified information, would
adversely affect national security, or
clearly endanger the lives of U.S.
personnel in accordance with the DoD
authorities in paragraphs (a) through (e)
of appendix A of this part and
applicable laws, regulations, and
Government-wide policies.
(d) Stripes’ editorial policies and
practices will be in keeping with
journalistic standards of U.S.
commercial news organizations of the
highest quality, such as the Code of
Ethics of the Society of Professional
Journalists (available at https://
www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp).
(e) Stripes’ products and services may
not advance a specific editorial position,
point of view or particular interest, but
will present a wide range of news and
views, including coverage of U.S.
political campaigns in an impartial,
objective, and nonpartisan manner that
does not imply endorsement of any
candidate or political party.
(f) Stripes’ products and services are
unofficial and do not reflect the official
views of, or endorsement by, the U.S.
Government, the DoD, or subordinate
command authorities.
(g) Stripes’ reporters and editorial
staff are DoD personnel authorized to
gather and report news, good and bad,
about the DoD and the U.S. military
community. They may ask questions of
DoD officials, gain help, have access,
and attend gatherings or events
available to reporters from the
commercial media. Stripes reporters
with access to DoD installations
(because of their status as DoD
personnel) may cover events or
activities open to those with installation
access even though commercial media
may not have the same unescorted
access; information published about or

resulting from such events or activities
is still subject to the requirements of
paragraph (c) of this section.
(h) Although newsgathering is
investigative by nature, Stripes is not an
authorized investigative agency, such as
a military criminal investigative
organization, other DoD investigative
body, or an office of Inspector General,
and does not conduct official
investigations on behalf of DoD. It may,
however, report on such official DoD
investigations, as well as investigations
by outside organizations or commercial
media in the public domain (i.e., engage
in investigative reporting).
(i) As DoD employees, the Stripes’
news staff members must adhere to the
DoD personnel policies that may not
usually apply to journalists employed
by commercial newspapers, including 5
CFR parts 2635 and 3601 and
paragraphs (f) and (g) of appendix A of
this part, as applicable, and all other
applicable DoD policies and Federal
laws and regulations as well as any
applicable Status of Forces Agreements.
(j) Stripes partially funds its mission
in support of DoD through revenuegenerating activities as a
nonappropriated fund instrumentality, a
government entity established for
morale, welfare, and recreation that may
generate revenue and minimize the need
for congressionally appropriated fund
support. Stripes is to be funded to the
maximum extent possible through the
sale and distribution of news and
information products, authorized
advertising, printing services, and other
sources of revenue, as approved by the
DoD or Congress. While Stripes is
authorized nonappropriated and
appropriated funding, appropriated
fund support is to be kept to a minimum
level consistent with its mission but at
levels provided for in paragraph (h) of
appendix A of this part. Stripes also
may be authorized appropriated funding
for news and information production
and free distribution to support
members of the U.S military community
deployed during armed conflict,
exercises, or in contingency
environments.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
OMB Office of Management and Budget
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
III. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The Coast Guard proposes to amend
Anchorages F and G in Los Angeles and
Long Beach Harbors to improve
navigation safety and update anchorage
usage and communication requirements.
The legal basis and authorities for this
notice of proposed rulemaking are
found in 46 U.S.C. 70006, 33 CFR
109.05, 33 CFR 1.05–1, and DHS
Delegation No. 00170.1 Revision 01.3,
which collectively authorize the Coast
Guard to propose, establish, and define
regulatory anchorage grounds. Under
Title 33 of the Code of Federal
Regulation (CFR) § 109.05, U.S. Coast
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Guard District Commanders are
delegated the authority to establish
anchorage grounds by the Commandant
of the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast
Guard established Anchorage Grounds
under Title 33 CFR CGFR 67–46, 32 FR
17728, Dec. 12, 1967, as amended by
CGD11–04–005, 71 FR 15036, Mar. 27,
2006.
IV. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to amend
the boundaries and anchorage
requirements for Anchorages F and G in
Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors.
Changes in global demand patterns and
supply chain disruptions have
contributed to port congestion and
increased usage of Anchorages F and G.
Due to economies of scale, vessels
calling on the Ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach have increased in size and
require more surface area for anchoring
and maneuvering. Additionally, a
subsea pipeline is located
approximately less than one nautical
mile from the anchorages. For these
reasons, the Coast Guard proposes
expanding the distance between
anchorages and requiring vessels greater
than 1600 gross tons to place their
propulsion plants in standby and have
a second anchor ready to let go when
forecasted and/or observed wind speeds
and gusts are 35 knots or greater. This
proposed requirement is needed to
prevent vessels from dragging anchor
and to prevent harm to vessels, the port,
and the environment. The proposed
regulation would update port, pilot, and
communication information to maintain
proactive anchorage management.
The specific anchorage boundaries
and amendments are described in detail
in the proposed regulatory text at the
end of the document.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
A summary of our analyses based on
these statutes or Executive orders
follows.
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 NPRM 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, the NPRM has not been
E:\FR\FM\23APP1.SGM
23APP1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 23, 2024 / Proposed Rules
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
This proposed regulatory action
determination is based on the need to
maintain navigation safety within the
port by amending the boundaries of
Anchorages F and G and updating
anchorage usage and communication
requirements. The proposed action
would not negatively impact navigation.
Vessels would still be able to maneuver
in, around and through anchorages.
B. Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
5 U.S.C. 601–612, we have considered
whether this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
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. While
some owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit the anchorage
grounds may be small entities, for the
reasons stated in section V.A. above,
this proposed rule would not have a
significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies
under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. If you think
that your business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a
small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic
impact on it, please submit a comment
to the docket at the address listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. In
your comment, explain why you think
it qualifies and how and to what degree
this proposed rule would economically
affect it.
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44
U.S.C. 3501–3520.
D. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism) if it has a substantial direct
effect on 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 proposed rule under
Executive Order 13132 and have
determined that it is consistent with the
fundamental federalism principles and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:44 Apr 22, 2024
Jkt 262001
preemption requirements described in
Executive Order 13132. Our analysis
follows.
The legal basis and authorities for this
notice of proposed rulemaking are
found in 46 U.S.C. 70006, 33 CFR
109.05, 33 CFR 1.05–1, and DHS
Delegation No. 00170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to propose, establish, and define
regulatory anchorage grounds.
Therefore, this proposed rule is
consistent with the fundamental
federalism principles and preemption
requirements described in Executive
Order 13132.
E. Unfunded Mandates
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 million (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Although this
proposed rule would not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
potential effects of this proposed rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not cause a
taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under
Executive Order 12630 (Governmental
Actions and Interference with
Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights).
G. Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable
standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12988, (Civil Justice
Reform), to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden.
H. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045
(Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks). This proposed rule is not an
economically significant rule and would
not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
I. Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175 (Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments), because it would not
have a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
30301
between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes.
If you believe this proposed rule has
implications for Indian Tribes, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
J. Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13211 (Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use). We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy.
K. Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act, codified as a
note to 15 U.S.C. 272, directs agencies
to use voluntary consensus standards in
their regulatory activities unless the
agency provides Congress, through
OMB, with an explanation of why using
these standards would be inconsistent
with applicable law or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus
standards are technical standards (for
example, specifications of materials,
performance, design, or operation; test
methods; sampling procedures; and
related management systems practices)
that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
L. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Department of Homeland
Security Management 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 made a
preliminary determination 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 proposed rule
involves the amendment of anchorages.
This proposed rule would be
categorically excluded under paragraph
L59(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01,
Rev. 1. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration

available in the docket. For instructions
on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
M. 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.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 110
Anchorage Grounds.
For the reasons discussed in the
preamble, the Coast Guard is proposing
to amend 33 CFR part 110 as follows:
PART 110—Anchorage Regulations
1. The authority citation for part 110
is revised to read as follows:

§ 110.214 Los Angeles and Long Beach
harbors, California.
(a) * * *
(1) * * *
(i) Unless otherwise directed by the
Captain of the Port Los Angeles—Long
Beach, the Long Beach Port Pilots will
assign all anchorages inside the federal
breakwater. All anchorages outside
(seaward) of the federal breakwater will
be assigned by Vessel Traffic Service
Los Angeles-Long Beach (VTS LA–LB).
The master, pilot, or person in charge of
a vessel must notify the Long Beach
Pilots (for anchorages inside the federal
breakwater) or VTS LA–LB (for
anchorages outside the federal
breakwater) of their intention to anchor,
upon anchoring, and at least fifteen
minutes prior to departing an
anchorage. All anchorage assignments
will be made as described in this part
unless modified by the Captain of the
Port.
(ii) Radio communications for port
entities governing anchorages are as
follows: VTS LA–LB, call sign ‘‘San
Pedro Traffic’’, Channel 14 VHF–FM;
Long Beach Port Pilots, call sign ‘‘Long
Beach Pilots’’, Channel 12 VHF–FM.
*
*
*
*
*
(2) * * *
(i) * * *
(B) No vessel may anchor anywhere
else within Los Angeles or Long Beach
harbors (inside the federal breakwater)
for more than 10 consecutive days
unless extended anchorage permission
is obtained from the Captain of the Port.
In determining whether extended
anchorage permission will be granted,
consideration will be given, but not
necessarily limited to: The current and
anticipated demands for anchorage
space within the harbor, the requested
duration, the condition of the vessel,
and the reason for the request.
*
*
*
*
*
(3) Other General Requirements.
(i) When at anchor, all commercial
vessels greater than 1600 gross tons
shall, at all times, have a licensed or
credentialed deck officer on watch and
maintain a continuous radio listening
watch unless subject to one of the
exemptions in this paragraph. The radio
watch must be on CH–12 VHF–FM
when anchored inside the federal
breakwater, and on CH–14 VHF–FM
when anchored outside the federal
breakwater, except for unmanned
barges; vessels which have less than 100
gallons of oil or fuel onboard regardless
of how the fuel is carried; and other
vessels receiving advance approval from
the Captain of the Port.
(ii) When winds are forecasted and/or
observed at 35 knots or greater
(including wind gusts) vessels shall
ensure their propulsion plant is placed
in immediate standby and a second
anchor, if installed, is made ready to let
go. Vessels unable to comply with this
requirement must immediately notify
the Captain of the Port. In such case, the
Captain of the Port may require
additional precautionary measures,
including but not limited to one or more
tugs standing by to render immediate
assistance.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
OMB Office of Management and Budget
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
III. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
The Coast Guard proposes to amend Anchorages F and G in Los Angeles
and Long Beach Harbors to improve navigation safety and update
anchorage usage and communication requirements. The legal basis and
authorities for this notice of proposed rulemaking are found in 46
U.S.C. 70006, 33 CFR 109.05, 33 CFR 1.05-1, and DHS Delegation No.
00170.1 Revision 01.3, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to
propose, establish, and define regulatory anchorage grounds. Under
Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Sec. 109.05, U.S.
Coast Guard District Commanders are delegated the authority to
establish anchorage grounds by the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard established Anchorage Grounds under Title 33 CFR CGFR
67-46, 32 FR 17728, Dec. 12, 1967, as amended by CGD11-04-005, 71 FR
15036, Mar. 27, 2006.
IV. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to amend the boundaries and anchorage
requirements for Anchorages F and G in Los Angeles and Long Beach
Harbors. Changes in global demand patterns and supply chain disruptions
have contributed to port congestion and increased usage of Anchorages F
and G. Due to economies of scale, vessels calling on the Ports of Los
Angeles and Long Beach have increased in size and require more surface
area for anchoring and maneuvering. Additionally, a subsea pipeline is
located approximately less than one nautical mile from the anchorages.
For these reasons, the Coast Guard proposes expanding the distance
between anchorages and requiring vessels greater than 1600 gross tons
to place their propulsion plants in standby and have a second anchor
ready to let go when forecasted and/or observed wind speeds and gusts
are 35 knots or greater. This proposed requirement is needed to prevent
vessels from dragging anchor and to prevent harm to vessels, the port,
and the environment. The proposed regulation would update port, pilot,
and communication information to maintain proactive anchorage
management.
The specific anchorage boundaries and amendments are described in
detail in the proposed regulatory text at the end of the document.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. A summary of our analyses
based on these statutes or Executive orders follows.
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 NPRM 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, the NPRM has not been
[[Page 30301]]
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
This proposed regulatory action determination is based on the need
to maintain navigation safety within the port by amending the
boundaries of Anchorages F and G and updating anchorage usage and
communication requirements. The proposed action would not negatively
impact navigation. Vessels would still be able to maneuver in, around
and through anchorages.
B. Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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. While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the anchorage grounds may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section V.A. above, this proposed rule would not have a significant
economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that
this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this proposed rule would have a significant economic impact on
it, please submit a comment to the docket at the address listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. In your comment, explain why you
think it qualifies and how and to what degree this proposed rule would
economically affect it.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.
D. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism) if it has a substantial direct effect on 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 proposed rule under Executive Order
13132 and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental
federalism principles and preemption requirements described in
Executive Order 13132. Our analysis follows.
The legal basis and authorities for this notice of proposed
rulemaking are found in 46 U.S.C. 70006, 33 CFR 109.05, 33 CFR 1.05-1,
and DHS Delegation No. 00170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast
Guard to propose, establish, and define regulatory anchorage grounds.
Therefore, this proposed rule is consistent with the fundamental
federalism principles and preemption requirements described in
Executive Order 13132.
E. Unfunded Mandates
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 million (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Although this proposed rule would
not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the potential effects
of this proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630
(Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights).
G. Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, (Civil Justice Reform), to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
H. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045
(Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks). This proposed rule is not an economically significant rule and
would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that
might disproportionately affect children.
I. Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments), because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for Indian Tribes,
please call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.
J. Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211
(Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use). We have determined that it is not a
``significant energy action'' under that order because it is not a
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is
not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy.
K. Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act, codified as a
note to 15 U.S.C. 272, directs agencies to use voluntary consensus
standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides
Congress, through OMB, with an explanation of why using these standards
would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (for example,
specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test
methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices)
that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
L. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management 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 made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves the
amendment of anchorages. This proposed rule would be categorically
excluded under paragraph L59(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration
[[Page 30302]]
supporting this determination is available in the docket. For
instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble.
M. 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.
