33 CFR Part 165 

[COTP San Francisco Bay 07–003] 

RIN 1625–AA00 

Safety Zone; Liberty Island Conductor 

Removal, Sacramento River, CA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

establish a safety zone in the navigable 

waters of the Sacramento River that will 

prohibit vessels and people from 

entering into or remaining within close 

proximity to the deep water channel. 

Pacific Gas and Electric Company 

(PG&E) will be removing a conductor 

from the Liberty Island towers, two of 

which cross over the deep water 

channel, on March 28, 2007. The 

proposed safety zone will close the deep 

water channel for approximately 30 

minutes during the conductor removal. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must reach the Coast Guard on or before 

March 14, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments 

and related material to United States 

Coast Guard Sector San Francisco, 

Waterways Safety Branch, Yerba Buena 

Island, Bldg. 278, San Francisco, 

California, 94130. The Waterways Safety 

Branch of Sector San Francisco 

maintains the public docket for this 

rulemaking. Comments and material 

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 

the Waterways Safety Branch of Sector 

San Francisco between 9 a.m. and 4 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lieutenant Eric Ramos, U.S. Coast 

Guard Sector San Francisco, at (415) 

556–2950 or Sector San Francisco 24- 

hour Command Center at (415) 399–

3547. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Request for Comments 

We encourage you to participate in 

this rulemaking by submitting 

comments and related material. If you 

do so, please include your name and 

address, identify the docket number for 

this rulemaking (COTP SF 07–003), 

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 81⁄2 by 11 inches, 

suitable for copying. If you would like 

to know they reached us, please enclose 

a stamped, self-addressed postcard or 

envelope. We will consider all 

comments and material received during 

the comment period. We may change 

this proposed rule in view of them. 

Public Meeting 

We do not now plan to hold a public 

meeting. But you may submit a request 

for a meeting by writing to Coast Guard 

Sector San Francisco, Waterways Safety 

Branch at the address under ADDRESSES

explaining why one would be 

beneficial. If we determine that one 

would aid this rulemaking, we will hold 

one at a time and place announced by 

a later notice in the Federal Register. 

Background and Purpose 

PG&E will be removing a conductor 

from the Liberty Island towers on March 

28, 2007. Two of the towers cross the 

Sacramento deep water channel. PG&E 

will use a helicopter to cut the 

conductor off of one tower and it will 

fall into the water. They will then 

recover the cut conductor and place it 

on the bank before continuing to remove 

the rest of the conductors from the 

remaining towers that are over land. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

This proposed safety zone will 

encompass the navigable waters of the 

Sacramento River from the surface to 

the sea floor, encompassing a circular 

area with a 500-yard radius at position 

38°17.072′N / 121°39.619′W (NAD 83) 

for the removal of a conductor from a 

tower that crosses over the deep water 

channel. This proposed safety zone is 

necessary to protect persons and vessels 

from hazards, injury, and damage 

associated with the conductor removal. 

Regulatory Evaluation 

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. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this proposed rule to be so minimal that 

a full Regulatory Evaluation is 

unnecessary. 

Although this rule will restrict access 

to the waters encompassed by the 

proposed safety zone, the effect of this 

rule is not expected to be significant 

because the local waterway users will be 

notified via public broadcast notice to 

mariners to ensure the proposed safety 

zone will result in minimum impact. 

The entities most likely to be affected 

are pleasure craft engaged in 

recreational activities. 

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 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS
9902 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 43 / Tuesday, March 6, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard certifies under 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. This safety zone is not expected 

to have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

for the following reasons. This rule will 

only be in effect for approximately 30 

minutes. Although the safety zone will 

apply to the entire width of the channel, 

traffic may be allowed to pass through 

the zone with the permission of the 

Coast Guard patrol commander. Before 

the effective period, we will issue 

maritime advisories widely available to 

users of the river. 

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 (see 

ADDRESSES). The Coast Guard will not 

retaliate against small entities that 

question or complain about this 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 or more in any one year. 

Though this proposed rule would not 

result in such expenditure, we do 

discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere 

in this preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not affect 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 Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD and Department of 

Homeland Security Management 

Directive 5100.1, 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 there are no factors in this case that 

would limit the use of a categorical 

exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the 

Instruction. Therefore, we believe that 

this rule should be categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(g), of the Instruction, from further 

environmental documentation. 

A preliminary ‘‘Environmental 

Analysis Check List’’ is available in the 

docket where indicated under 

ADDRESSES. Comments on this section 

will be considered before we make the 

final decision on whether this rule 

should be categorically excluded from 

further environmental review.

day extension to the comment period 

from the Utility Air Regulatory Group, 

the Council of Industrial Boiler Owners, 

and the Coke Oven Environmental Task 

Force. The reason given for requesting 

the extension was the need for 

additional time to gather data and
