Safety Zones; M/V ROY A. JODREY, St. 

Lawrence River, Wellesley Island, NY 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is removing 

the established safety zone around the 

wreck of the M/V ROY A. JODREY, St. 

Lawrence River, Wellesley Island, NY. 

The safety zone was necessary for 

restricting recreational diving while 

conducting oil removal operations 

aboard the sunken vessel. The safety 

zone is no longer needed and the Coast 

Guard is removing the regulation. 

DATES: This section becomes effective 

on February 23, 2007. 

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 

docket CGD9–06–174 and are available 

for inspection or copying at U.S. Coast 

Guard Sector Buffalo, 1 Fuhrmann 

Blvd., Buffalo, NY 14203 between 8 a.m. 

and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LT 

Tracy Wirth, U.S. Coast Guard Sector 

Buffalo, (716) 843–9573. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 publishing an 

NPRM is unnecessary because this rule 

removes a safety zone that is no longer 

needed. 

Background and Purpose 

The rule established a safety zone 

around the sunken M/V ROY A. 

JODREY, St. Lawrence River, Wellesley 

Island, NY (67 FR 65042 (October 23, 

2002).). The safety zone was necessary 

for restricting recreational diving while 

conducting oil removal operations 

aboard the sunken vessel. The zone 

covered all waters and adjacent 

shoreline encompassed by the arc of a 

circle with a 150-yard radius of the 

wreck M/V ROY A JODREY, with its 

center in 44°19.55 N, 075°56.00 W 

(NAD83). The safety zone is no longer 

needed and the Coast Guard is removing 

the regulation. 

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 this rule under 

that order. It is not significant under the 

regulatory policies and procedures of 

the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS), because we are disestablishing 

the safety zone around wreck M/V ROY 

A JODREY. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this rule would have a 

significant 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 would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

because this rule removes an obsolete 

safety zone. 

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 rule so that they can 

better evaluate its effects and participate 

in the rulemaking process. If the rule 

would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for
