Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[CGD05–00–016]

RIN 2115–AA97

Safety Zone; Chickahominy River, VA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing a temporary safety zone for

the Two Rivers Yacht Club fireworks

display to be held at Barret’s Point at the

mouth of the Chickahominy River,

Williamsburg, Virginia. This action will

restrict vessel traffic on the

Chickahominy River within a 500-foot

radius of the fireworks display, which

will be fired from shore. The safety zone

is necessary to protect mariners and

spectators from the hazards associated

with the fireworks display.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 p.m.

until 11:30 p.m. on July 4, 2000.

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments

and related material to USCG Marine

Safety Office Hampton Roads, 200

Granby Street, Norfolk, VA, or deliver

them to the same address between 8

a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through

Friday, except Federal Holidays. USCG

Marine Safety Office Hampton Roads

maintains the public docket for this

rulemaking. Comments and materials

received from the public, as well as

documents indicated in this preamble as

being available in the docket, will

become part of this docket and will be

available for inspection or copying at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments

Although this rule is being published

as a temporary final rule without prior

notice, an opportunity for public

comment is nevertheless desirable to

ensure the rule is both reasonable and

workable. Accordingly, we encourage

you to submit comments and related

material. If you do so, please include

your name and address, identify the

docket number (CGD05–00–016),

indicate the specific section of this

document to which each comment

applies, and give the reason for each

comment. Please submit all comments

and related material in an unbound

format, no larger than 8.5 by 11 inches,

suitable for copying. If you would like

to know if they reached us, please

enclose a stamped, self-addressed

postcard or envelope.

Regulatory Information

We did not publish a notice of

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this

regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists

for not publishing an NPRM. We were

not notified of the event with sufficient

time to publish an NPRM, allow for

comments, and publish a final rule in

sufficient time to allow notice to the

public for the fireworks display. In

previous years, this event and similar

ones have been held without incident

and without comment from the public

regarding the Coast Guard’s

establishment of limited safety zones

around fireworks displays.

Background and Purpose

The Coast Guard is establishing a

temporary safety zone for the Two

Rivers Yacht Club fireworks display to

be held at Barret’s Point, at the mouth

of the Chickahominy River,

Williamsburg, Virginia. The safety zone

will restrict vessel traffic on the

Chickahominy River within a 500-foot

radius of the fireworks display, which

will be fired from shore, in approximate

position 37° 14.51′ N, 076° 52.10′ W.

The safety zone is necessary to protect

mariners and spectators from the

hazards associated with the fireworks

display.

The safety zone is effective from 8

p.m. until 11:30 p.m. on July 4, 2000.

Additional public notifications will be

made prior to the event via marine

information broadcasts.

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 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 Transportation (DOT)

(44 FR 11040; February 26, 1979). This

temporary final rule only affects a

limited area for three and a half hours,

alternative routes exist for maritime

traffic, and advance notification via

marine information broadcasts will

enable mariners to plan their transit to

avoid entering the restricted area. The

Coast Guard expects the economic

impact of this rule to be so minimal that

a full regulatory evaluation under

paragraph 10(e) of the regulatory

policies and procedures of the DOT is

unnecessary.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

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

considered whether this 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 rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

This rule will affect the following

entities, some of which might be small

entities: the owners or operators of

vessels intending to operate or anchor in

portions of the Chickahominy River

within 500 feet of a shoreside fireworks

display at Barret’s Point, located at the

mouth of the Chickahominy River in

approximate position 37° 14.51′ N, 076°

52.10′ W.

This safety zone will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities for

the following reasons: This temporary

final rule only affects a limited area for

three and a half hours, alternative routes

exist for maritime traffic, and advance

notification via marine information

broadcasts will enable mariners to plan

their transit to avoid entering the

restricted area.

Collection of Information

This rule calls for no new collection

of information under the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501

et seq.).

Federalism

We have analyzed this rule under

Executive Order 13132 and have

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 13, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 37045

determined that this rule does not have

implications for federalism under that

order.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) governs

the issuance of federal regulations that

require unfunded mandates. An

unfunded mandate is a regulation that

requires a state, local, or tribal

government or the private sector to

incur direct costs without the Federal

Government’s having first provided the

funds to pay those unfunded mandate

costs. This rule will not impose an

unfunded mandate.

Taking of Private Property

This rule will not effect 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 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 rule under

Executive Order 13045, Protection of

Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not

an economically significant rule and

does not concern an environmental risk

to health or risk to safety that may

disproportionately affect children.

Environment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that under figure 2–1,

paragraph (34)(g), of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1C, this rule is

categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation. This

regulation will have no impact on the

environment.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

34 CFR Part 685

William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan

Program

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final regulations; correction.

SUMMARY: On November 1, 1999

amendments to regulations governing

the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan

Program were published in the Federal

Register (64 FR 59016). This document

corrects the designation of the section

amended in item 24 and adds a word

inadvertently dropped from § 685.306(a)

as amended in item 26 on page 59044.

The change made in item 24 should

have been made to § 685.216, rather

than to § 685.215, because § 685.215 was

previously redesignated as § 685.216 in

separate amendments published in the

same issue of the Federal Register (64

FR 58969).

DATES: These regulations, as corrected,

are effective July 1, 2000.
