54380 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 202 / Monday, October 20, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current. It,

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant

preparation of a regulatory evaluation as

the anticipated impact is so minimal.

Since this is a routine matter that will

only affect air traffic procedures and air

navigation, it is certified that this rule

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and

Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: NASA is amending 14 CFR

Part 1203 by revising subpart H,

‘‘Delegation of Authority to Make

Determinations in Original

Classification Matters.’’ This

amendment changes the designated

officials for Secret and Confidential

authority, deletes old NASA position

organization position titles, and adds

original declassification authorities in

compliance with Executive Order

12958.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 20, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NASA

published 14 CFR Part 1203 subpart H

in the Federal Register on November 9,

1988 (53 FR 45259). It identified NASA

officials who are authorized to make,

modify, or eliminate security

classification assignments to

information under their jurisdiction for

which NASA has original classification

authority. This amendment reflects

NASA’s current organizational position

titles.

Since this action is internal and

administrative in nature and does not

affect the existing regulations, notice

and public comment are not required.

The National Aeronautics and Space

Administration has determined the

following:

1. This rule is not subject to the

requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, since

it will not exert a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities.

2. This rule is not a major rule as

defined in Executive Order 12866.

15 CFR Part 922

[Docket No. 971014245–7245–01]

Temporary Rule Prohibiting Anchoring

by Vessels 50 Meters or Greater in

Length on Tortugas Bank Within the

Florida Keys National Marine

Sanctuary

AGENCY: Sanctuaries and Reserves

Division (SRD), Office of Ocean and

Coastal Resource Management (OCRM),

National Ocean Service (NOS) National

Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA), Department of

Commerce (DOC).

ACTION: Temporary rule.

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

issues a temporary rule prohibiting

anchoring by vessels 50 meters in length

or greater on the Tortugas Bank within

the Florida Keys National Marine

Sanctuary (Sanctuary). This temporary

rule is necessary to prevent future injury

to, and destruction of, living coral on

Tortugas Bank caused by such

anchoring.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This temporary rule is

effective from 12:01 am October 17,

1997 until February 12, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Billy D. Causey, Superintendent, Florida

Keys National Marine Sanctuary

(FKNMS), Post Office Box 500368,

Marathon, Florida 33050. (305) 743–

2437.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 15 CFR 922.165 of the

Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

regulations (62 FR 32154, June 12, 1997)

and the Co-Trustees Agreement for

Cooperative Management of the Florida

Keys National Marine Sanctuary made

between the Governor and Cabinet of

the State of Florida and NOAA dated

May 19, 1997, NOAA has consulted

with and received approval from the

Governor of the State of Florida

concerning the issuance of this

temporary rule.

Section 922.165 provides that, where

necessary to prevent or minimize the

destruction of, loss of, or injury to a

Sanctuary resource, any and all

activities are subject to immediate

temporary regulation, including

prohibition, for up to 120 days.

Emergency regulations cannot take

effect in Florida territorial waters until

approved by the Governor of the State

of Florida.

Background

This temporary rule is necessitated by

the recent discovery of significant injury

to, and destruction of, living coral on

Tortugas Bank, west of the Dry Tortugas

National Park, caused by the anchoring

of vessels 50 meters or greater in length,

and the need to prevent future injury.

Current 15 CFR 922.163(a)(5)(ii)

prohibits having vessels anchored in the

Sanctuary on living coral other than

hardbottom in water depths less than 40

feet when visibility is such that the

seabed can be seen. However, this

regulation does not protect the coral

located in the area covered by this

temporary rule because the water there

is deeper than 40 feet.

Anchoring of vessels 50 meters or

greater in length on Tortugas Bank has

been documented as having caused

significant injury to living coral reef

resources. Vessels of such size have

anchoring gear of massive weight and
