Special Local Regulations; Invitational

Rowing Regatta, Augusta, GA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing permanent special local

regulations for the Augusta Invitational

Rowing Regatta. The Augusta

Invitational Rowing Regatta will be held

annually on Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

and Sunday of the third week of March,

between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

local time. The nature of the event and

the closure of the Savannah River

creates an extra or unusual hazard on

the navigable waters. These regulations

are necessary to provide for the safety of

life on the navigable waters. These

regulations are necessary to provide for

the safety of life on the navigable waters

during the event.

DATES: March 24, 1997.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this

rulemaking is maintained at

Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Group,

Charleston, 196 Tradd St., Charleston,

SC, 29401. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3:30

p.m. Monday through Friday except

Federal holidays.

Guard Group Charleston, SC at (803)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

On December 6, 1996 the Coast Guard

published a notice of proposed

rulemaking entitled [CGD07–96–063] in

the Federal Register (61 FR 64645). The

comment period ended on February 4,

1997. The Coast Guard received no

comments on the notice of proposed

rulemaking. A public hearing was not

requested, and no hearing was held.

Background and Purpose

These regulations are needed to

provide for the safety of life during the

Invitational Rowing Regatta. These

regulations are intended to promote safe

navigation on the waters off Augusta on

the Savannah River during the races by

controlling the traffic entering, exiting,

and traveling within these waters. The

anticipated concentration of spectator

and event participant vessels associated

with the Rowing Regatta poses a safety

concern which is addressed in these

special local regulations.

These regulations will not permit the

entry or movement of spectator vessels

and other non-participating vessel

traffic between the U.S. Highway Route

1 (Fifth Street) Bridge at mile marker

199.45 and Eliot’s Fish Camp at mile

marker 197 from 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. local

time, annually on Thursday, Friday,

Saturday, and Sunday of the third week

of March. These regulations will permit

the movement of spectator vessels and

other non-participants after the

termination of the race each day, and

during intervals between scheduled

events at the discretion of the Coast

Guard Patrol Commander.

Regulatory Evaluation

This regulation 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

10(e) of the regulatory policies and

procedures of DOT is unnecessary. The

proposed regulations will last for only

10 hours on each day of the event. No

public comments were received during

the notice of proposed rulemaking

comment period.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

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

must consider whether this rulemaking

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 expects the

economic impact of this regulation to be

minimal and certifies under 5 U.S.C.

605(b) that this rulemaking will not

have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities

because the limited area regulated and

limited duration of the regulation.

Collection of Information

These regulations contain no

collection-of-information requirements

under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Federalism

This action has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612 and has determined that the

rulemaking does not have sufficient

Federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Environmental Assessment

The Coast Guard has considered the

environmental impact on this

rulemaking consistent with Section

2.B.2. of Commandant Instruction

M16475.1B, (as revised by 59 FR 38654,

July 29, 1994). In accordance with that

instruction, specifically sections 2.B.4.g.

and h., this action has been

environmentally assessed (EA

completed), and the Coast Guard has

concluded that it will not significantly

affect the quality of the human

environment. An environmental

assessment and a finding of no

significant impact have been prepared

and are available for inspection or

copying where indicated under

ADDRESSES.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

SUMMARY: This action expands and

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air

Pollutants: Petroleum Refineries,’’

which was issued as a final rule on

August 18, 1995.

DATES: The direct final rule will be

effective April 22, 1997 unless

significant, adverse comments are

received by March 24, 1997. If

significant, adverse comments are

timely received EPA will publish timely

notice in the Federal Register

withdrawing the final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If

significant adverse comments are timely

received on this direct final rule, all

such comments will be addressed in a

subsequent final rule based on the

proposed rule contained in the

Proposed Rules Section of this Federal

Register that is identical to this direct

final rule. The Direct Final Rule will be

withdrawn. If no significant adverse

comments are timely filed on any

provision of this direct final rule then

the entire direct final rule will become

effective 60 days from today’s Federal

Register notice and no further action is

contemplated on the parallel proposal

published today.

On August 18, 1995 (60 FR 43243),

EPA promulgated in the Federal

Register national emission standards for

hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for

petroleum refineries. These regulations

were promulgated as subpart CC of 40

CFR part 63. This document contains

additions to definitions which will

clarify the applicability of control

requirements and provide flexibility for

the regulated population.

I. Description of Changes

A. Addition of Annual Average True

Vapor Pressure Cut-Off to Definition of

a Group 1 Storage Vessel

On July 15, 1994 (59 FR 36130) the

EPA proposed national emission

standards for hazardous air pollutants

for petroleum refineries. In the proposed

rule, a Group 1 storage vessel was

defined as a vessel with a maximum

true vapor pressure above a specified

number.

Comments received regarding this

definition stated that the storage tank

vapor pressure information provided by

refineries, on which the true vapor

pressure limit for Group 1 storage

vessels at existing sources was based,

was most likely reflective of annual

average, as opposed to maximum true

vapor pressures. The EPA agreed with

the commenters and increased the

maximum true vapor pressure

applicability cut-off for storage vessels

at an existing source from 8.3 to 10.4

kilopascals to account for the difference

between annual average and maximum

true vapor pressure. This change was

made in the final rule (60 FR 43243).

Additional comments were received

after the rule was promulgated stating

that a true vapor pressure cut-off based

on an annual average temperature

would provide flexibility to refiners.

Having determined that true vapor

pressure cut-offs of 8.3 and 10.4

kilopascals based on annual average and

maximum monthly temperature,

respectively, provide equivalent

emission control, EPA has decided to

provide both annual average and

maximum true vapor pressure

applicability cut-offs for existing storage

tanks. Refineries may use either cut-off

to determine if an existing storage vessel

is subject to the control requirements of

the rule. This amendment does not

change the stringency of the

requirement, or the estimated cost

effectiveness of this regulation.

Adding an annual average true vapor

pressure applicability cut-off to the

Group 1 storage vessel definition

necessitates adding a definition for

annual average true vapor pressure. A

definition for annual average true vapor

pressure is included in this direct final

rule.
