B. Regulatory History and Information 

This proposed regulatory amendment 

will add safety zone regulations 

regarding port restrictions due to 

hurricanes and other disasters, reduced 

or restricted visibility as well as a safety 

zone around all fireworks barges, 

structures, and piers. 

C. Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis for this proposed rule 

is the Coast Guard’s authority to 

establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 

33 U.S.C. 1225; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 

160.5; Department of Homeland 

Security Delegation No. 0170.1. 

The purpose of these regulations are 

to ensure the safety of life on navigable 

waters of the United States through the 

addition of regulations regarding port 

regulations in the event of hurricanes 

and other disasters and reduced or 

restricted visibility. It will establish a 

safety zone around all firework barges, 

structures, and piers. 

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

This rule would establish three 

sections under 33 CFR 165.702: (1) A 

safety zones dictating port closures 

during hurricanes and other disasters; 

(2) seven segments of Tampa Bay’s 

shipping channel to give the COTP 

flexibility in controlling and 

reconstituting vessel traffic during 

periods of reduced or restricted 

visibility; and (3) a safety zone around 

all fireworks launching platforms, 

structures, or piers while engaged in 

launching operations. Notice will be 

given via Local Notice to Mariners. 

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. 


Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
14336 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 53 / Thursday, March 19, 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. 

Due to the unexpected and quick 

nature of hurricanes and other disasters, 

emergency temporary final rules are 

implemented for each individual event. 

This regulation is not significant 

regulatory action and will reduce time 

and paper work since an emergency 

temporary final rule would not have to 

be implemented each time. This 

proposed rule provides advance notice 

of actions the Coast Guard intends to 

take in the event a natural disaster 

occurs. 

There are already several special local 

regulations establishing regulated areas 

around fireworks events. The safety 

zone that is being added is not expected 

to have a significant regulatory action 

due to the use of safety zones temporary 

final rules for each event. 

2. Impact on Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

the impact of this proposed rule on 

small entities. 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. 

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 section 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 

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 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 is 

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.

prevailing conditions and enforcement 

needs. 

(1) The Coast Guard realizes that some 

large scale events, such as those with 

many participants or spectators, or those 

that could severely restrict navigation or 

pose a significant hazard, may still 

require separate special local 

regulations or safety zones that address 

the specific peculiarities of the event. In 

those situations, the Coast Guard will 

create special local regulations or safety 

zones specifically for the event, and 

those regulations will supersede the 

proposed regulations in this rule. 

(2) All firework platforms, structures

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) and the Operating Permits 

Program for the State of Missouri 

submitted on October 2, 2013. These 

revisions remove definitions that were 

in this rule but have been moved to the 

state’s general definitions rule. These 

revisions also clarify the information 

required in emission reports and clarify 

the types and frequency of reports for 

the emission inventory. In addition, a 

revision to the emission fees section of 

this rule is being clarified so that the 

current emissions fee is only applicable 

for years 2013, 2014, and 2015 as set by 

Missouri statute. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

April 20, 2015.
