7394 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 27 / Tuesday, February 10, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

Unlikely to a single category of 

Unlikely. Violations assessed as 

Unlikely under the existing rule would 

remain Unlikely under the proposed 

rule, but would be assigned zero penalty 

points. The existing categories of 

Reasonably Likely and Highly Likely 

would be combined to a single category 

of Reasonably Likely in the proposed 

rule and assigned 14 penalty points. 

MSHA is clarifying that the proposed 

definition of ‘‘Unlikely’’ should read 

‘‘Condition or practice cited has little or 

no likelihood of causing an injury or 

illness.’’ MSHA is also clarifying that 

the proposed definition of ‘‘Reasonably 

Likely’’ should read ‘‘Condition or 

practice cited is likely to cause an injury 

or illness.’’ In addition, the proposed 

definition of ‘‘Occurred’’ should read 

‘‘Condition or practice cited has caused 

an injury or illness.’’ 

MSHA also would like to clarify that 

the Good Faith reduction in penalties 

would not be affected by a request for 

pre-assessment conferences on 

violations. MSHA discussed an 

alternative in the preamble to the 

proposed rule of an additional 20 

percent reduction in the penalty for 

Good Faith if the violation is not 

contested and the penalty is paid before 

it becomes a final order of the 

Commission. Under this alternative, 

only penalties that are either not paid 

within 30 days or are contested would 

be ineligible for the additional 20 

percent Good Faith penalty reduction. 

MSHA clarifies that if an assessment 

grouping includes multiple citations 

and only one is not paid within 30 days 

or is contested, the remaining citations 

would be eligible for the Good Faith 

penalty reduction. 

MSHA solicits comments from the 

mining community on all aspects of the 

proposed rule. Commenters are 

requested to be specific in their 

comments and to provide sufficient 

detail in your responses to enable 

proper Agency review and 

consideration. All comments must be 

received or postmarked by March 31, 

2015.

B. Regulatory History and Information 

The Coast Guard has a long history 

working with local, state, and federal 

agencies in areas to improve emergency 

response, to prepare for events that call 

for swift action, and to protect our 

nation. The Coast Guard is proposing to 

establish this safety zone on the waters 

of the Lower Mississippi River in 

Memphis, Tennessee for the Memphis 

Port Area Multiagency Mass Rescue 

Operations and Medical Surge FullScale Exercise. The full-scale exercise is 

scheduled to take place from 9:00 a.m. 

to 12:00 p.m. on April 22, 2015 and 

afford an opportunity for U.S. Coast 

Guard Sector Lower Mississippi River, 

City of Memphis Office of Emergency 

Management, Memphis Fire 

Department, Memphis Police 

Department, Shelby County Sheriff’s 

Office, Shelby County Office of 

Preparedness, Shelby County Health 

Department, DeSoto County Sherriff 

Office SAR Unit, Tipton County 

Emergency Management Agency, West 

Memphis Fire Department, Tennessee 

Wildlife Resources Agency, Tennessee 

Emergency Management Agency, Fullen 

Dock and Warehouse, Lucy Woodstock 

Marine Terminal, and Wepfer Marine to 

coordinate, communicate, and practice 

emergency response techniques for the 

safety of all Lower Mississippi River. 

This proposed rule is necessary to 

protect the safety of the participants, 

spectators, commercial traffic, and the 

general public on the navigable waters 

of the United States during the exercise. 

C. Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis and authorities for this 

rule are found in 33 U.S.C. 1231, 46 

U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 

U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 

6.04–6, and 160.5; Public Law 107–295, 

116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland 

Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which 

collectively authorize the Coast Guard 

to propose, establish, and define 

regulatory safety zones. The purpose of 

this proposed safety zone is to protect 

public boaters and their vessels from 

potential safety hazards associated with 

the full-scale exercise on the Lower 

Mississippi River, Memphis, Tennessee. 

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

This proposed rule is necessary to 

establish a Safety Zone that will 

encompass certain waters of the Lower 

Mississippi River in Memphis, 

Tennessee. The proposed Safety Zone 

regulations will be enforced from 

approximately 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 

for approximately 3 hours on April 22, 

2015. The proposed Safety Zone will 

establish from Mile Marker (MM) 745.0 

to (MM) 736.0, where all persons and 

vessels, except those persons and 

vessels participating in the full-scale 

exercise and those vessels enforcing the 

areas, are prohibited from entering, 

transiting through, anchoring in, or 

remaining within. 

Persons and vessels may request 

authorization to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the 

enforcement areas by contacting the 

Captain of the Port Lower Mississippi 

River by telephone at (866) 777–2784, or 

a designated representative via VHF 

radio on channel 16. If authorization to 

enter, transit through, anchor in, or 

remain within the enforcement areas is 

granted by the Captain of the Port Lower 

Mississippi River or a designated 

representative, all persons and vessels 

receiving such authorization must 

comply with the instructions of the 

Captain of the Port Lower Mississippi 

River or a designated representative. 

E. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes or 

executive orders. 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
7396 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 27 / Tuesday, February 10, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

1. Regulatory Planning and Review 

This proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 

or under section 1 of Executive Order 

13563. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under those 

Orders. The temporary safety zone listed 

in this proposed rule will only restrict 

vessel traffic from entering, transiting, 

or anchoring within a small portion of 

the Lower Mississippi River. The effect 

of this regulation will not be significant 

for several reasons: (1) This rule will 

only affect vessel traffic for a short 

duration; (2) vessels may request 

permission from the COTP to deviate 

from the restriction and transit through 

the safety zone; and (3) the impacts on 

routine navigation are expected to be 

minimal because notifications to the 

marine community will be made 

through local notice to mariners (LNM) 

and broadcast notice to mariners (BNM). 

Therefore, these notifications will allow 

the public to plan operations around the 

safety zone and its enforcement times. 

2. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 

(RFA), 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 proposed rule will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This rule will affect the following 

entities, some of which may be small 

entities: The owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit the Lower 

Mississippi River from MM 745.0 to 

MM 736.0 effective from 9:00 a.m. to 

12:00 p.m. on April 22, 2015. This 

safety zone will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities because this 

rule will only be in effect during 

scheduled full-scale multiagency mass 

rescue exercise time for approximately 3 

hours on the day the event is occurring. 

Traffic in this area is limited to almost 

entirely recreational vessels and 

commercial towing vessels. 

Notifications to the marine community 

will be made through BNMs and 

electronic mail. Notices of changes to 

the safety zone and scheduled effective 

times and enforcement periods will also 

be made. Deviation from the restrictions 

may be requested from the COTP or 

designated representative and will be 

considered on a case-by-case basis. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on it, 

please submit a comment (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

3. 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 proposed 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, above. The Coast Guard will 

not retaliate against small entities that 

question or complain about this 

proposed rule or any policy or action of 

the Coast Guard. 

4. Collection of Information 

This proposed rule will not call for a 

new collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520.). 

5. Federalism 

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 proposed rule under that 

Order and determined that this rule 

does not have implications for 

federalism. 

6. 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. 

7. 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 

proposed rule would not result in such 

expenditure, we do discuss the effects of 

this rule elsewhere in this preamble. 

8. Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not cause a 

taking of private property or otherwise 

have taking implications under 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference with 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights. 

9. Civil Justice Reform 

This proposed rule meets applicable 

standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform, to minimize litigation, 

eliminate ambiguity, and reduce 

burden. 

10. Protection of Children From 

Environmental Health Risks 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Executive Order 13045, 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks. This rule is not an economically 

significant rule and would not create an 

environmental risk to health or risk to 

safety that might disproportionately 

affect children. 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under Executive 

Order 13175, Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments, because it would 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. 

12. Energy Effects 

This proposed rule is not a 

‘‘significant energy action’’ under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 27 / Tuesday, February 10, 2015 / Proposed Rules 7397 

1For purposes of NHCTEP, ‘‘community-based 

organization’’ means a public or private 

organization that provides career and technical 

education, or related services, to individuals in the 

Native Hawaiian community. 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

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 proposed 

rule involves establishing a temporary 

safety zone in the Lower Mississippi 

River, (MM) 745.0 to (MM) 736.0. This 

action is necessary to protect persons 

and property during the full-scale 

exercise. This rule is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the 

Commandant Instruction. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this 

proposed rule.
