Safety Zone; Kachemak Bay, Alaska

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing a temporary 200 yard

radius safety zone on the navigable

waters of the United States around the

Heavy-lift vessel SWAN that will load

the Crowley Marine barge 240–1

carrying living quarters for the

Exploratory Drilling Structure

‘‘OSPREY’’ in Kachemak Bay, Alaska.

This safety zone is implemented to

ensure the safe and timely anchoring,

loading, and departure of vessels and a

barge operating in Kachemak Bay.

effective from 12:01 a.m. on May 4,

2000, until 11:59 p.m. on May 9, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

A notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM) was not published for this

regulation. In keeping with

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(B), the

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists

for not publishing a NPRM. In keeping

with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553

(d)(3), the Coast Guard also finds that

good cause exists for making this

regulation effective less than 30 days

after publication in the Federal

Register. Meeting these requirements is

impracticable because the scope of the

loading activities and logistical details

surrounding the loading of this barge on

the Heavy-lift vessel SWAN was not

finalized and provided to the Coast

Guard until less than 30 days before the

project date. Furthermore, it is in the

public interest to insure the timely and

safe loading of the barge onboard the

Heavy-lift vessel SWAN to ensure that

they do not place other vessels or

personnel at risk to injury.

Background and Purpose

The Coast Guard is establishing a

temporary 200-yard radius safety zone

on the navigable waters of the United

States around the Heavy-lift vessel

SWAN that will load the Crowley

Marine barge 240–1 carrying the living

quarters for the Exploratory Drilling

Structure ‘‘OSPREY’’ in Kachemak Bay,

Alaska. The safety zone is designed to

permit the safe and timely anchoring,

loading, and departure of this vessel in

the narrow timeframe in which this can

be safely done. The safety zone’s 200-

yard standoff also aids the safety of

these evolutions by minimizing

conflicts and hazards that might

otherwise occur with other transiting

vessels. The limited size of the zone is

designed to minimize impact on other

mariners transiting through the area.

Regulatory Evaluation

This rule is not a significant

regulatory action under section 3(f) of

Executive Order 12866 and does not

require an assessment of potential cost

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

order. It has not been reviewed by the

Office of Management and Budget under

that order. It is not significant under the

regulatory policies and procedures of

the Department of Transportation (DOT)

(44 FR 11040, February 26, 1979). The

Coast Guard expects the economic

impact of this proposal to be so minimal

that a full Regulatory Evaluation under

paragraph 10(e) of the regulatory

policies and procedures of DOT is

unnecessary.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Coast Guard

considers whether this rule will have

significant economic impacts on a

substantial number of small entities.

‘‘Small entities’’ include small

businesses, not-for-profit organizations

that are independently owned and

operated and are not dominant in their

fields, and governmental jurisdictions
