in the Federal Register. 

Background and Purpose 

This proposed rule will add 33 CFR 

165.9xx, Annual Events requiring safety 

zones in the Captain of the Port Sault 

Sainte Marie zone. Various private and 

public entities organize marine events 

within the Sault Sainte Marie Captain of 

the Port zone. Many of these events 

recur in the same location on or about 

the same date each year. Also, many of 

these events pose hazards to the public. 

Such hazards include obstructions to 

the navigable channels, explosive 

dangers associated with fireworks, 

debris falling into the water, and general 

congestion of waterways. To minimize 

these and other hazards, this proposed 

rule will establish twenty safety zones, 

each related to a specific recurring 

marine event. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

This proposed rule and its associated 

safety zones are necessary to ensure the 

safety of vessels and people during each 

of the annual marine events discussed 

below. 

Although this rule will remain in 

effect year round, the proposed safety 

zones will be enforced only 

immediately before, during, and after 

each corresponding event. 

The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte 

Marie will notify the public when the 

safety zones in this proposal will be 

enforced. In keeping with 33 CFR 

165.7(a), the Captain of the Port Sault 

Sainte Marie will use all appropriate 

means to notify the affected segments of 

the public. This will include, as 

practicable, publication in the Federal 

Register, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, 

and Local Notice to Mariners. The 

Captain of the Port will, as practicable, 

issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners 

notifying the public when any 

enforcement period is cancelled. 

Entry into, transiting, or anchoring 

within each of the below safety zones is 

prohibited unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie 

or his or her designated representative. 

All persons and vessels permitted to 

enter one of the safety zones established 

by this proposed rule shall comply with 

the instructions of the Coast Guard 

Captain of the Port or the designated 

representative. The Captain of the Port 

or his or her designated representative 

may be contacted via VHF Channel 16. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the 

regulatory policies and procedures of 

the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS). We conclude that this proposed 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

because we anticipate that it will have 

minimal impact on the economy, will 

not interfere with other agencies, will 

not adversely alter the budget of any 

grant or loan recipients, and will not 

raise any novel legal or policy issues. 

The safety zones created by this 

proposed rule will be relatively small 

and enforced for a relatively short time. 

Also, each safety zone is designed to 

minimize its impact on navigable 

waters. Furthermore, each safety zone 

has been designed to allow vessels to 

transit unrestricted to portions of the 

waterways not affected by the safety 

zones. Thus, restrictions on vessel 

movement within that particular area 

are expected to be minimal. Under 

certain conditions, moreover, vessels 

may still transit through each safety 

zone when permitted by the Captain of 

the Port. On the whole, the Coast Guard 

expects insignificant adverse impact to 

mariners from the activation of these 

safety zones. 

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. 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2011 / Proposed Rules 21679 

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. This proposed rule would affect 

the following entities, some of which 

might be small entities: The owners and 

operators of vessels intending to transit 

or anchor in any one of the below 

established safety zones while the safety 

zone is being enforced. These safety 

zones will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities for the 

following reasons: Each safety zone in 

this proposed rule will be in effect for 

only a few hours within any given 24 

hour period. Each of the safety zones, 

with one exception, will be in effect 

only once per year. Furthermore, these 

safety zones have been designed to 

allow traffic to pass safely around each 

zone. Moreover, vessels will be allowed 

to pass through each zone at the 

discretion of the Captain of the Port. 

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 (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

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 proposed rule so that 

they can better evaluate its effects on 

them and participate in the rulemaking. 

If the rule would affect your small 

business, organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please contact BMC 

Gregory Ford, Prevention Department, 

Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie, 

MI at (906) 635–3222. The Coast Guard 

will not retaliate against small entities 

that question or complain about this 

proposed rule or any policy or action of 

the Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This proposed rule calls for no new 

collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on State or local governments and 

would either preempt State law or 

impose a substantial direct cost of 

compliance on them. We have analyzed 

this proposed rule under that Order and 

have determined that it does not have 

implications for federalism. 

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 

proposed rule would not result in such 

an expenditure, we do discuss the 

effects of this rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule will not affect the 

taking of private property or otherwise 

have taking implications under 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference with 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights. 

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. 

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. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

The Coast Guard recognizes the treaty 

rights of Native American Tribes. 

Moreover, the Coast Guard is committed 

to working with Tribal Governments to 

implement local policies and to mitigate 

Tribal concerns. We have determined 

that this rule and fishing rights 

protection need not be incompatible. 

We have also determined that this 

proposed 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. 

Nevertheless, Indian Tribes that have 

questions concerning the provisions of 

this proposed rule or options for 

compliance are encouraged to contact 

the point of contact listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

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. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., 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. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA)(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. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this preliminary 

determination is available in the docket 

where indicated under ADDRESSES. This 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
21680 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

proposed rule establishes a safety zone 

and therefore paragraph (34)(g) of figure 

2–1 applies. We seek any comments or 

information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this proposed rule.

Quality Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

submittals from the State of Louisiana 

pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or 

Act) that address the infrastructure 

elements specified in the CAA section 

110(a)(2), necessary to implement, 

maintain, and enforce the 1997 8-hour 

ozone and 1997 fine particulate matter 

(PM2.5) national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS or standards). We 

are proposing to find that the current 

Louisiana State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) meets the following infrastructure 

elements for the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS and the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS: 

110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C), (D)(ii), (E), (F), (G), 

(H), (J), (K), (L), and (M). EPA is also 

proposing to approve SIP revisions that 

modify Louisiana’s PSD SIP for the 1997 

8-hour ozone NAAQS to include 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) as an ozone 

precursor. This action is being taken 

under section 110 and part C of the Act.
