necessary to promote the safe navigation

of vessels, and the safety of life and

property during the heavy volume of

vessel traffic expected during this event.

DATES: This rule is effective from July

28, 2000 until July 30, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material

received from the public, as well as

documents indicated in this preamble as

being available in the docket, are part of

Response and Planning, Marine Safety

Office, Portland at (207) 780–3251.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

On March 17, 2000, the Coast Guard

published a Notice of Proposed Rule

Making (NPRM) entitled Temporary

Regulations: Opsail Maine 2000,

Portland, Maine in the Federal Register,

Volume 65, Page 14498. The Coast

Guard received 3 letters commenting on

the proposed rule. One letter suggested

a public hearing be held. For reasons set

out below, a public hearing was not

held.

Background and Purpose

OPSAIL Maine 2000, Inc. is

sponsoring the OPSAIL Maine 2000

Parade of Tall Ships as well as a

fireworks display. These events are

scheduled to take place between July

28th and 30th 2000 in the Port of

Portland and surrounding waters. The

Coast Guard anticipates up to 1,000

spectator craft for these events. These

regulations create temporary anchorage

regulations, vessel movement controls,

and safety zones. The regulations are in

effect at various times in Portland

Harbor between July 28–30, 2000. The

expected vessel congestion due to the

large number of participating and

spectator vessels poses a significant

threat to the safety of life and the safety

of the port. These rules provide for the

safety of life on navigable waters and

promotes maritime safety and protects

participants and spectators during this

event.

Discussion of Rule

These regulations create temporary

anchorage regulations and vessel

movement controls. Special local

regulations will be in effect for parts of

Portland Harbor for the period

beginning at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 28,

and ending at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 28.

The safety of parade participants and

spectators will require that spectator

craft and all other traffic be kept at a

safe distance from participating tall

ships and vessels. No vessel will be

permitted to move within the regulated

area during that time without

permission from the Captain of the Port.

This is required to ensure the safety of

both participating and spectator vessels

during the Parade of Sail. Normal port

operations will resume within the area

following the Parade of Sail.

These regulations temporarily

suspend existing anchorage areas, and

establish new areas within the port to

provide spectator viewing areas and

maintain a clear parade route for

participating vessels. The Parade of Sail

will begin at Portland Head Light, and

proceed along the main channel into

Portland Harbor. The safety of parade

participants and spectators require that

all vessels remain clear of the main

channel while the participating vessels

are on the parade route.

These regulations also establish a

safety zone around a pyrotechnics barge

from which fireworks will be launched.

An area within a 1500-foot radius

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 127 / Friday, June 30, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 40517

around the vessel is designated as a

safety zone. This safety zone is needed

to protect the maritime public from

possible hazards associated with the

launching of fireworks in Portland

Harbor.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

The Coast Guard received three

comments during the comment period.

One comment concerned access by

residents to Cushing Island and by

commercial ferries and water taxis to

Cushing Island. The writer cited 33 CFR

§ 100.CGD1–194(c)(2) of the Notice of

Proposed Rule Making, which provides

some pre-arranged movement of

commercial vessels, and requested to

meet and discuss access issues. A

meeting was held on June 12, 2000 at

the Marine Safety Office in Portland

with those inspected and uninspected

small passenger vessel operators most

affected, including the author of this

comment, to coordinate some limited

and controlled harbor movements prior

to and in the early stages of, the

timeframe for the regulated area. The

Coast Guard recognizes that service to

inhabited islands in Casco Bay will be

disrupted. The specifics of these

temporary regulations are designed to

minimize interference to this service,

while maintaining a necessary level of

safety.

The Coast Guard received one

comment regarding small passenger

vessels engaged in scenic cruises of the

waters affected by the regulated area.

The author of the comment was

concerned that his business would be

severely impacted by the closure of the

main channel during the OPSAIL

Parade. A follow-up telephone

conversation with the author of the

comment indicated that he believed the

regulated area was for the entire four

days of OPSAIL, rather than the limited

11 a.m. to 4 p.m. period on July 28, 2000

set aside for the parade. Small passenger

vessel operators are not required by this

rule to remain at the dock. These vessels

may operate outside of the regulated

area during the Parade of Sail, or may

anchor in designated spectator areas

along with other spectator craft.

The final comment received discussed

the potential impact to lobstermen and

requested a public hearing. In a followup conversation, the author of the

comment indicated that he believed that

the regulated area was for the entire four

days of the OPSAIL marine events. The

regulated area established for the Parade

of Sail is for a limited duration and a

limited area of the harbor. Once this was

clarified, the author’s concerns were

alleviated. In addition, the local Coast

Guard is working to, and will continue

to work to coordinate efforts between

OPSAIL Maine organizers and the local

fishermen to address the concerns of

fishermen.

The Coast Guard has discussed and

made available the proposed regulations

to the local Port Safety Forums and Area

Committee. The Marine Safety Office

hosted Small Passenger Vessel Operator

meetings during which the NPRM was

discussed. In March these temporary

regulations were explained and by April

were provided to the public at various

‘‘fisherman gatherings’’, via facsimile, email and web page postings. For these

reasons, the limited number of written

comments received and the special

meeting held on June 12th, the Coast

Guard feels that a public hearing is not

necessary.

The coordinates identifying the aids

to navigation positions defining the

boundary of Spectator Anchorage E

have been changed from those listed in

the NPRM. The actual aids to navigation

cited in the NPRM are correct and form

the boundary of the anchorage. This

change merely corrects the coordinates

of the aids and has no regulatory effect.

Regulated Area

A regulated area in Portland Harbor

will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

on July 28, 2000. This regulated area is

needed to protect the maritime public

and participating vessels from possible

hazards to navigation associated with a

parade of tall ships transiting the waters

of Portland Outer Harbor into port, and

a large number of spectator craft

anchored in close proximity throughout

the duration of these events. This

regulated area includes vessel anchoring

and operating restrictions, including the

restriction of vessel movement within

the area. This Regulated Area covers the

waters of Portland Outer Harbor, Main

Harbor and vicinity. It includes the

following temporary anchorages

established under 33 CFR § 110.T136

created under this rule: Anchorage B,

Anchorage C, Spectator Anchorage D

along the east shore of South Portland,

and Spectator Anchorage E off the

southeast shore of Cushing Island.

Following the tall ship parade, Portland

Harbor will reopen in sequence with the

movement and mooring of the final

flotilla of tall ships. After the final

flotilla of tall ships has passed

Anchorage B, vessel operators anchored

in the anchorage areas may depart for

locations outside Portland Harbor. This

regulated area is effective from 11 a.m.

until 4 p.m. on July 28, 2000.

Anchorage Regulations

The Coast Guard has established

temporary Anchorage Regulations for

participating OPSAIL MAINE 2000

ships and spectator craft. The

Anchorage regulations in 33 CFR

§ 110.132 are temporarily suspended by

this regulation and new Anchorage

Grounds and regulations are temporarily

established.

The anchorage regulations

temporarily establish Anchorage

Grounds for spectator vessel use only.

They restrict all other vessels from using

these Anchorage Grounds during a

portion of the OPSAIL MAINE 2000

event. Anchorage B will contain the

official reviewing vessel. Anchorage C is

designated for small vessel temporary

anchorages. Additionally, Spectator

Anchorage D is designated along the

eastern shore of South Portland in the

Outer Harbor, and Spectator Anchorage

E is designated on the southeast shore

of Cushing Island. These anchorages are

needed to provide viewing areas for

spectator vessels while maintaining a

clear parade route for the participating

OPSAIL MAINE 2000 vessels and to

protect boaters and spectator vessels

from the hazards associated with a

parade of tall ships transiting in close

proximity in the waters of Portland

Harbor. These regulations are effective

from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on July 28,

2000.

Safety Zones

The Coast Guard has established a

safety zone in Portland Harbor for a

fireworks display, that will be in effect

on July 28, 2000. In the case of

inclement weather, the fireworks

display will be held on either July 29 or

30, 2000 and the safety zone would be

in effect on one of those dates. The

safety zone is needed to protect the

maritime public from possible hazards

associated with the launching of

fireworks in Portland Harbor. The safety

zone covers a 1500-foot radius around a

barge located in Anchorage A used for

the fireworks display. This regulation is

in effect from 9 p.m. until 11 p.m. on

July 28–30, 2000.

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).

Due to the short duration of these

marine events and fireworks events, the

limited areas and the advance notice

provided to the maritime community,

40518 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 127 / Friday, June 30, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

the Coast Guard expects the economic

impact of this regulation to be so

minimal that a full Regulatory

Evaluation under paragraph 10(e) of the

regulatory policies and procedures of

the Department of Transportation is

unnecessary.

The primary impact of this rule will

be on vessels wishing to transit the

affected waterways during the Parade of

Sail on July 28, 2000. Although this rule

prevents traffic from transiting a portion

of Portland Harbor, that restriction is

limited in duration, affects only a

limited area and has been will

publicized, allowing mariners to make

alternative plans for operating in the

affected area. Moreover, the magnitude

of the event itself would hamper or

prevent normal transit of the waterway,

even absent these regulations, which are

designed to ensure the Parade is

conducted in a safe and orderly fashion.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we considered

whether this rule will 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.

Because it expects the impact of this

rule to be so minimal, the Coast Guard

certifies under section 601(b) of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.

601et seq.) 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 in portions

of Portland Harbor. This rule will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities

for the following reasons: the

restrictions are of limited duration,

affect only limited areas, and have been

well publicized and coordinated,

allowing affected mariners to make

alternative plans for operating in the

area.

Assistance for Small Entities

In accordance with Sec. 213(a) of the

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–

121), the Coast Guard offered to assist

small entities in understanding this rule

so that they could better evaluate its

effects on them and participate in the

rulemaking process. No requests for

assistance in understanding this rule

were received.

Small businesses may send comments

on the actions of the 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).

Collection of Information

This rule would call for no new

collection of information under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501–3520.).

Federalism

We have analyzed this rule under E.O.

13132 and 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 costs. This rule

would not impose an unfunded

mandate.

Taking of Private Property

This rule would not effect a taking of

private property or otherwise have

taking implications under E.O. 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 E.O.

12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize

litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and

reduce burden.

Protection of Children

We have analyzed this rule under E.O.

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

We have considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that, under Figure 2–1,

paragraph 34 (f), (g) and (h), of

Commandant Instruction M16475.1C, it

will have no significant environmental

impact and it is categorically excluded

from further environmental

documentation. A ‘‘Categorical

Exclusion Determination’’ is available in

the docket where indicated under

ADDRESSES.

National Primary Drinking Water

Regulations: Public Notification Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency published in the Federal

Register of May 4, 2000, final

regulations to revise the public

notification requirements that public

water systems must follow under the

Safe Drinking Water Act. Inadvertently,

the May 4 document had several

incorrect regulatory citations and other

formatting problems. Today’s action

corrects the regulatory citations and the

formatting problems.

DATES: Effective on June 30, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

technical inquiries, contact Carl B.

Reeverts at (202) 260–7273 or e-mail:

reeverts.carl@epa.gov. Contact the Safe

Drinking Water Hotline, toll free (800)

426–4791 for general information about

the rule and this correction notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA

published final public notification

regulations in the Federal Register of

May 4, 2000 (65 FR 25981). Several

incorrect citations and formatting errors

in the May 4, 2000 document are

corrected by today’s action. Section 553

of the Administrative Procedure Act

(APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that,

when an agency for good cause finds

that notice and public procedure are

impracticable, unnecessary or contrary

to the public interest, the agency may

issue a rule without providing notice

and an opportunity for public comment.

EPA has determined that there is good

cause for making today’s rule final

without prior proposal and opportunity

for public comment, because today’s

action only corrects formatting errors

and minor citation errors in the final

rule published in the Federal Register

on May 4, 2000 (65 FR 25981). Thus,

notice and public procedure are

unnecessary. EPA finds that this

constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C.

553(b)(B). For the same reasons, EPA is

making the provisions of this rule

effective upon promulgation, as

authorized under section 553(d) of the

APA.

I. Corrections to the Regulation

Correction to Part 9 Table

The amendment to part 9 in the May

4 document (65 FR 26021–22) revised

the table under § 9.1, OMB approvals

under the Paperwork Reduction Act, to

insert the OMB Control Number for the

new and revised public notification

requirements contained in the final

public notification rule. The May 4

document inadvertently amended a

§ 9.1 table that had already been

superceded by a separate regulatory

action.

Correction to CFR Citations to Conform

to New Public Notification Subpart

Amendment 3 of the May 4 document

(65 FR 26022) revised references to the

public notification regulations in other

parts of 40 CFR Part 141 from the

existing citation (§ 141.32) to the new

Subpart Q. The May 4 document in

several places inadvertently included

the incorrect CFR citation.

Correction to Incorrect Citation in

Amendment 16

Amendment 16 of the May 4

document (65 FR 26035) revised the

reporting requirements under the

Interim Enhanced Surface Water
