AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone for 

navigable waters within a 210-foot 

radius of the launch site located at Bald 

Eagle Marina, Kendall, NY. This safety 

zone is intended to restrict vessels from 

portions of the Lake Ontario during 

Boaters Against Cancer fireworks 

display. This temporary safety zone is 

necessary to protect mariners and 

vessels from the navigational hazards 

associated with a fireworks display. 

Entry of vessels or persons into this 

zone is prohibited unless specifically 

authorized by the Captain of the Port 

Buffalo. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 9:45 

p.m. until 10:35 p.m. on June 30, 2018.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment pursuant to 

authority under section 4(a) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because the 

event sponsor did not submit notice to 

the Coast Guard with sufficient time 

remaining before the event to publish an 

NPRM. Delaying the effective date 

would be contrary to the rule’s 

objectives of ensuring safety of life on 

the navigable waters and protection of 

persons and vessels in vicinity of the 

fireworks display. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date 

would be contrary to the rule’s 

objectives of ensuring safety of life on 

the navigable waters and protection of 

persons and vessels in vicinity of the 

fireworks display. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The 

Captain of the Port Buffalo (COTP) has 

determined that a fireworks display 

presents significant risks to the public 

safety and property. Such hazards 

include premature and accidental 

detonations, dangerous projectiles, and 

falling or burning debris. This rule is 

needed to protect personnel, vessels, 

and the marine environment in the 

navigable waters within the safety zone 

while the fireworks display takes place. 

IV. Discussion of the Rule 

This rule establishes a safety zone on 

June 30, 2018, from 9:45 p.m. until 

10:35 p.m. The safety zone will 

encompass all waters of Lake Ontario; 

Kendall, NY contained within 210-foot 

radius of: 43°22′02.04′′ N, 078°01′48.06′′ 

W. 


nshattuck on DSK9F9SC42PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 30047 

Entry into, transiting, or anchoring 

within the safety zone is prohibited 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port Buffalo or his designated on-scene 

representative. The Captain of the Port 

or his designated on-scene 

representative may be contacted via 

VHF Channel 16. 

V. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

Executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes and 

Executive orders, and we discuss First 

Amendment rights of protestors. 

A. Regulatory Planning and Review 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits. 

Executive Order 13771 directs agencies 

to control regulatory costs through a 

budgeting process. This rule has not 

been designated a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action,’’ under Executive 

Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has 

not been reviewed by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), and 

pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt 

from the requirements of Executive 

Order 13771. 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on the conclusion that this rule 

is not a significant regulatory action. We 

anticipate that it will have minimal 

impact on the economy, will not 

interfere with other agencies, will not 

adversely alter the budget of any grant 

or loan recipients, and will not raise any 

novel legal or policy issues. The safety 

zone created by this rule will be 

relatively small and enforced for a 

relatively short time. Also, the safety 

zone has been designed to allow vessels 

to transit around it. Thus, restrictions on 

vessel movement within that particular 

area are expected to be minimal. Under 

certain conditions, moreover, vessels 

may still transit through the safety zone 

when permitted by the Captain of the 

Port. 

B. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 

requires Federal agencies to consider 

the potential impact of regulations on 

small entities during rulemaking. 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 will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

While some owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit the safety 

zone may be small entities, for the 

reasons stated in section V.A above, this 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on any vessel owner 

or operator. 

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. 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 the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 

888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). 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. 

C. Collection of Information 

This rule will not call for a new 

collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal 

Governments 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on the States, on the relationship 

between the national government and 

the States, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. We have 

analyzed this rule under that Order and 

have determined that it is consistent 

with the fundamental federalism 

principles and preemption requirements 

described in Executive Order 13132. 

Also, this rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does 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. If you 

believe this rule has implications for 

federalism or Indian tribes, please 

contact the person listed in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section 

above. 

E. 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 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this rule 

will not result in such an expenditure, 

we do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Directive 023–01 and Commandant 

Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the 

Coast Guard in complying with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have 

determined that this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule establishes a 

temporary safety zone. It is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 

1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01– 

001–01, Rev. 01. A Record of 

Environmental Consideration 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Clean Air Act requires 

each State Implementation Plan (SIP) to 

contain adequate provisions prohibiting 

emissions that will have certain adverse

to address these requirements. The EPA 

is approving the submission as meeting 

the requirement that each SIP contain 

adequate provisions to prohibit 

emissions that will contribute 

significantly to nonattainment or 

interfere with maintenance of the 2012 

annual fine particulate matter (PM2.5)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background Information 

II. Final Action 

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background Information 

On May 2, 2018, the EPA proposed to 

approve Alaska’s submission as meeting 

the requirement that each SIP contain 

adequate provisions to prohibit 

emissions that will contribute 

significantly to nonattainment or 

interfere with maintenance of the 2012 

PM2.5 NAAQS in any other state (83 FR 

19191). An explanation of the Clean Air 

Act requirements, a detailed analysis of 

the submission, and the EPA’s reasons 

for proposing approval were provided in 

the notice of proposed rulemaking, and 

will not be restated here. The public 

comment period for the proposal ended 

June 1, 2018. We received no adverse 

comments.1

II. Final Action 

The EPA is approving Alaska’s March 

10, 2016, submission certifying that the 

current Alaska SIP is sufficient to meet 

the interstate transport requirements of 

Clean Air Act section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) 

for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS, as described 

in the proposal for this action. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Clean Air Act and 

applicable federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 

7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in 

reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this 

action merely approves state law as 

meeting federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 

FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory 

action because actions such as SIP 

approvals are exempted under 

Executive Order 12866; 

• does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

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

• is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
