being adopted for the Ducks on the

Ohio. This event will be held on

September 13, 1997 from 1 p.m. until 4

p.m. at Evansville, Indiana. These

regulations are needed to provide for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Regulatory History

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a

notice of proposed rulemaking for these

regulations has not been published, and

good cause exists for making them

effective in less than 30 days from the

date of publication. Following normal

rulemaking procedures would be

impracticable. The details of the event

were not finalized in sufficient time to

publish proposed rules in advance of

the event or to provide for a delayed

effective date.

Background and Purpose

The marine event requiring this

regulation is a charity fund raising event

involving a race of non-toxic vinyl

plastisol ducks. The navigational

channel will be used for the duration of

the race. The event is sponsored by

Evansville Goodwill Industries, Inc.

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. It has not been reviewed by the

Office of Management and Budget 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). The

Coast Guard expects the economic

impact of this rule to be so minimal that

a full Regulatory Evaluation under

paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies

and procedures of DOT is unnecessary

because of the event’s short duration.

Small Entities

The Coast Guard finds that the impact

on small entities, if any, is not

substantial. Therefore, the Coast Guard

certifies under section 605(b) of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601

et seq.) that this temporary rule will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities

because of the event’s short duration.

Collection of Information

This rule contains no information

collection requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.).

Federalism Assessment

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

action in accordance with the principles

and criteria of Executive Order 12612

and has determined that this rule does

not raise sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

Environmental Assessment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that under section

2.B.2e(34)(h) of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1B, (as revised by

61 FR 13563; March 27, 1996) this rule

is excluded from further environmental

documentation.

Temporary Regulations

In consideration of the foregoing, Part

100 of Title 33, Code of Federal

Regulations, is amended as follows:

PART 100—[AMENDED]

1. The authority citation for part 100

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233; 49 CFR 1.46 and

33 CFR 100.35.

2. A temporary section 100.35–T08–

034 is added to read as follows:

§ 100.35–T08–034 Ohio River at Evansville,

Indiana

(a) Regulated Area: Ohio River Mile

792.0—793.0.

(b) Special Local Regulation: All

persons and/or vessels not registered

with the sponsors as participants or

official patrol vessels are considered

spectators. ‘‘Participants’’ are those

persons and/or vessels identified by the

sponsor as taking part in the event. The

‘‘official patrol’’ consists of any Coast

Guard, public, state or local law

enforcement and/or sponsor provided

vessel assigned to patrol the event. The

Coast Guard ‘‘Patrol Commander’’ is a

Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or

petty officer who has been designated

by Commanding Officer, Coast Guard

Marine Safety Office Louisville.

(1) No vessel shall anchor, block,

loiter in, or impede the through transit

of participants or official patrol vessels

in the regulated area during effective

dates and times, unless cleared for such

entry by or through an official patrol

vessel.

(2) When hailed and/or signaled by an

official patrol vessel, a spectator shall

come to an immediate stop. Vessels

shall comply with all directions given;

failure to do so may result in a citation.

(3) The Patrol commander is

empowered to forbid and control the
48768 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 180 / Wednesday, September 17, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

movement of all vessels in the regulated

area. The Patrol Commander may

terminate the event at any time it is

deemed necessary for the protection of

life and/or property and can be reached

on VHF–FM Channel 16 by using the

call sign ‘‘PATCOM’’.

(c) Effective Date: These regulations

will be effective from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

on September 13, 1997.

Dated: September 3, 1997.

Special Local Regulations for Marine

Events; Chesapeake Airshow, Frog

Mortar Creek, Essex, Maryland

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: Special local regulations are

being adopted for the Chesapeake

Airshow to be held over Frog Mortar

Creek, Essex, Maryland. These special

local regulations are necessary to

provide for the safety of life and

property on U.S. navigable waters

during the event. The effect will be to

restrict general navigation in the

regulated area for the safety of

spectators and participants.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This temporary

regulation is effective from 10 a.m. to

5:30 p.m. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)

on September 13 and September 14,

1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Chief Warrant Officer R. Houck, Marine

Events Coordinator, Commander, Coast

Guard Activities Baltimore, 2401

Maryland, 21226–1791, telephone

number (410) 576–2674.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a notice

of proposed rulemaking was not

published for this regulation and good

cause exists for making it effective in

less than 30 days from the date of

publication. Following normal

rulemaking procedures would have

been impractical. The request to hold

the event was not received until August

18, 1997. Publishing a notice of

proposed rulemaking and delaying its

effective date would be contrary to

safety interests, since immediate action

is needed to protect vessel traffic from

the potential hazards associated with

the airshow.

Discussion of Regulations

On September 13 and 14, 1997, the

Essex-Middle River Chamber of

Commerce will sponsor the Chesapeake

Airshow. The event will consist of 15

aircraft flying at low altitudes in various

formations over Frog Mortar Creek.

These regulations are necessary to

control spectator craft and provide for

the safety of life and property on

navigable waters during the event.

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. It has been exempted from review

by the Office of Management and

Budget 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). The Coast Guard

expects the economic impact of this

proposal to be so minimal that a full

Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph

10e of the regulatory procedures of DOT

is unnecessary. Entry into the regulated

area will only be prohibited while the

aircraft are actually performing. Since

vessels will be allowed to transit the

event area between performances, the

impacts on routine navigation are

expected to be minimal.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

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

must consider whether this rule will

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

‘‘Small entities’’ include independently

owned and operated small businesses

that are not dominant in their field and

that otherwise qualify as ‘‘small

business concerns’’ under section 3 of

the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632).

The Coast Guard certifies under Section

605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) that this temporary

final rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities, because the

regulations will only be in effect for a

short duration in a limited area.

Collection of Information

These regulations contain no

collection of information requirements

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Federalism

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

rule under the principles and criteria

contained in Executive Order 12612 and

has determined that this rule does not

have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a

Federalism Assessment.

Environment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that, under section

2.b.2.e(34)(h) of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1b (as amended, 61

FR 13564; March 27, 1996), this rule is

categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation.
