Safety Zone; Illinois River, Mile Marker

Coast Guard, DHS.
Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone on
the waters of the Illinois River from mile
markers 87.1 to 87.7. The safety zone is
to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment from potential
hazards created by extreme shoaling.
Entry of vessels or persons into the zone
is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port,
Sector Upper Mississippi River, or a
designated representative.
DATES: For the purposes of enforcement,
actual notice will be used from July 15,
2024 until July 19, 2024. This rule is
effective without actual notice from July
19, 2024 through July 30, 2024.

§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule under authority in 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory
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.’’ The Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule, as doing so
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
*
would be impracticable. This is because
we must establish this safety zone
immediately to ensure the safety of
vessels transiting the areas with extreme
shoaling, and therefore lack sufficient
time to provide a reasonable comment
period and then consider those
comments before issuing the rule.
Also, 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 contrary to the public
interest because immediate action is
needed to respond to hazards created by
extreme shoaling.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
I. Table of Abbreviations
PO 00000
*
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The
Captain of the Port Sector Upper
Mississippi River (COTP) has
determined a safety zone is necessary to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment from hazards
created by extreme shoaling across the
Illinois River.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary
safety zone on the waters of the Illinois
River from mile markers 87.1 to 87.7.
The duration of this safety zone is
intended to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment from
hazards created by extreme shoaling
across the Illinois River. No vessel or
person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
E:\FR\FM\19JYR1.SGM
19JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 139 / Friday, July 19, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
designated representative. A designated
representative is a commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer of the U.S.
Coast Guard assigned to units under the
operational control of USCG Sector
Upper Mississippi River. The COTP or
a designated representative will inform
the public of the enforcement date and
times for these safety zones, as well as
any emergent safety concerns that may
delay the enforcement of the zone.
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.
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
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 size, location, and duration
of the temporary safety zones. This
action involves a safety zone to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from hazards created by
extreme shoaling across the Illinois
River from MM 87.1 to 87.7. Moreover,
the Coast Guard will publish a Local
Notice to Mariners and mariners may
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 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:17 Jul 18, 2024
Jkt 262001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
58627
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 on the Illinois River from MM 87.1
to 87.7. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(d)
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01,
Rev. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this
determination will be available in the
docket at a later date. 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.

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Why is the EPA using a direct final
rule?
The EPA is publishing this direct final
rule approving the SCAQMD’s proposed
title V program revisions without prior
proposal because we consider it to be a
noncontroversial action and anticipate
no adverse comments. However,
elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register publication, the EPA is
simultaneously publishing a proposal
that will also serve as a public notice of
the SCAQMD’s proposed title V
program revisions pursuant to 40 CFR
70.4(i).
II. Background
The CAA Amendments of 1990
include title V, which requires States to
develop an operating permits program
that meets the Federal criteria codified
in 40 CFR part 70. The title V program
requires certain sources of air pollution
to obtain Federal operating permits from
their respective States. These Federal
operating permits improve enforcement
and compliance by consolidating all
applicable Federal requirements into
one federally enforceable document.
Before a State can issue title V permits,
the EPA must approve its program
under appendix A of part 70. States may
submit revisions to their approved
programs for EPA approval.
Title V of the CAA applies to ‘‘major
stationary sources’’ as defined in title I,
part D of the Act. 40 CFR 70.2 bases the
definition of ‘‘major stationary source’’
on the nonattainment classification of
the area where the source is located.
Table 1 of this document shows the
attainment/nonattainment/
unclassifiable status for the applicable
NAAQS within the District’s
jurisdictional boundary. As shown in
table 1, the SCAQMD’s jurisdiction is
classified as nonattainment for fine
particulate matter with an aerodynamic
diameter of less than or equal to 10
micrometers (PM10), fine particulate
matter with an aerodynamic diameter of
less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers
(PM2.5), lead (Pb), and ozone.1 The
1 The EPA reclassified State lands within the
Coachella Valley area from Severe-15 to an Extreme
ozone nonattainment area, effective July 10, 2019.
This reclassification to Extreme means that a major
stationary source is now defined as a source
emitting 10 tons or more per year of either oxides

II. Background Information and Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule under authority in 5

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.'' The Coast Guard
finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed

impracticable. This is because we must establish this safety zone
immediately to ensure the safety of vessels transiting the areas with
extreme shoaling, and therefore lack sufficient time to provide a
reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before
issuing the rule.
Also, 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 contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is needed to respond to hazards created by extreme shoaling.
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 Upper Mississippi River (COTP)
has determined a safety zone is necessary to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment from hazards created by extreme
shoaling across the Illinois River.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary safety zone on the waters of the
Illinois River from mile markers 87.1 to 87.7. The duration of this
safety zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from hazards created by extreme shoaling across the
Illinois River. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a
[[Page 58627]]
designated representative. A designated representative is a
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer of the U.S. Coast Guard
assigned to units under the operational control of USCG Sector Upper
Mississippi River. The COTP or a designated representative will inform
the public of the enforcement date and times for these safety zones, as
well as any emergent safety concerns that may delay the enforcement of
the zone.
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 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 size, location,
and duration of the temporary safety zones. This action involves a
safety zone to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment
from hazards created by extreme shoaling across the Illinois River from
MM 87.1 to 87.7. Moreover, the Coast Guard will publish a Local Notice
to Mariners and mariners may 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 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 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 a
safety zone on the Illinois River from MM 87.1 to 87.7. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(d) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. A
Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination
will be available in the docket at a later date. 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.
