one at a time and place announced by 

a later notice in the Federal Register. 

Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis for the proposed rule 

is: 33 U.S.C. 471, 1221 through 1236, 

2030, 2035, 2071; 33 CFR 1.05–1; and 

Department of Homeland Security 

Delegation No. 0170.1, which 

collectively authorize the Coast Guard 

to define anchorage grounds. 

The rule is intended to reduce the risk 

of vessel collisions by creating three 

special anchorage areas in Wells Harbor. 

This proposed rule would establish 

special anchorage areas in the western, 

central and eastern portions of Wells 

Harbor creating anchorage for 

approximately 150 vessels. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The proposed rule would create three 

new special anchorage areas in Wells, 

Maine. These three new special 

anchorage areas in Wells Harbor are 

described below. All proposed 

coordinates are North American Datum 

1983 (NAD 83). 

Anchorage A 

All of the waters enclosed by a line 

beginning at latitude 43°19′15.7′′ N, 

longitude 070°33′42.1′′ W; thence to 

latitude 43°19′15.7′′ N, longitude 

070°33′40.3′′ W; thence to latitude 

43°19′2.6′′ N, longitude 070°33′45.7′′ W; 

thence to latitude 43°19′3.7′′ N, 

longitude 70°33′42.6′′ W; thence to the 

point of beginning. This area is 

approximately 5,800 sq. yards, 

encompassing the central portion of 

Wells Harbor. 

Anchorage B 

All of the waters enclosed by a line 

beginning at latitude 43°19′11.1′′ N, 

longitude 070°33′49.8′′ W; thence to 

latitude 43°19′10.5′′ N, longitude 

070°33′47.3′′ W; thence to latitude 

43°19′8.7′′ N, longitude 070°33′50.6′′ W; 

thence to latitude 43°19′8.3′′ N, 

longitude 070°33′47.3′′ W; thence to the 

point of beginning. This area is 

approximately 25,000 sq. yards, 

encompassing the western portion of 

Wells Harbor. 

Anchorage C 

All of the waters enclosed by a line 

beginning at latitude 43°19′17.7′′ N, 

longitude 070°33′34.0′′ W; thence to 

latitude 43°19′18.4′′ N, longitude 

070°33′32.9′′ W; thence to latitude 

43°19′13.0′′ N, longitude 070°33′26.2′′ 

W; thence to latitude 43°19′13.8′′ N, 

longitude 070°33′25.5′′ W; thence to the 

point of beginning. This area is 

approximately 8,200 sq. yards, 

encompassing the eastern portion of 

Wells Harbor. 

Vessels not more than 20 meters in 

length are not required to sound signals 

as per Rule 35 of the Inland Navigation 

Rules (33 U.S.C. 2035) nor exhibit 

anchor lights or shapes as per Rule 30 

of the Inland Navigation Rules (33 

U.S.C. 2030) when at anchor in a special 

anchorage area. Additionally, mariners 

utilizing the anchorage areas are 

encouraged to contact local and state 

authorities, such as the local 

harbormaster, to ensure compliance 

with any additional applicable state and 

local laws. Such laws may involve, for 

example, compliance with direction 

from the local harbormaster when 

placing or using moorings within the 

anchorage. 

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. 

Executive Order 12866 and Executive 

Order 13563 

This proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, 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. 

We expect minimal additional cost 

impacts on fishing, or recreational boats 

anchoring because this rule would not 

affect normal surface navigation. 

Although this regulation may have some 

impact on the public, the potential 

impact will be minimized for the 

following reasons: Normal surface 

navigation will not be affected as this 

area has been historically used as a 

mooring field by the Town of Wells and 

the number of vessels using the 

anchorage is limited due to depth (less 

than or equal to 18 feet). 

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. 

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 or 

operators of recreational and small 

fishing vessels intending to anchor in 

Wells Harbor. 

The proposed rule would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities for 

the following reasons: Normal surface 

navigation will not be affected as this 

area has been historically used as a 

mooring field by the Town of Wells and 

the number of vessels using the 

anchorage is limited due to depth (less 

than or equal to 18 feet). 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 163 / Tuesday, August 23, 2011 / Proposed Rules 52601 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this 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 Mr. John J. 

Mauro, Waterways Management Branch, 

First Coast Guard District; telephone 

617–223–8355, e-mail 

John.J.Mauro@uscg.mil. 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 would call 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 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. 

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 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 

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. 

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 which do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. We believe the 

proposed rule would be categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(f) of the Instruction because it 

involves the establishment of special 

anchorage grounds. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this 

proposed rule. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist is 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. 

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 110
