SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a

notice of proposed rulemaking for this

regulation has not been published, and

good cause exists for making it effective

in less than 30 days from the date of

publication. Following normal

rulemaking procedures would be

impracticable. The details of the event

were not finalized in sufficient time to

publish the proposed rule in advance of

the event or to provide for a delayed

effective date.

Background and Purpose

The marine event requiring this

regulation is a parade of small craft and

passenger vessels to celebrate the 50th

Anniversary homecoming of the

passenger vessel Delta Queen, to the

Cincinnati, Ohio river port. The

navigational channel will be used for

the duration of the parade. The event is

sponsored by Greater Cincinnati Tall

Stacks Commission, Inc.

Regulatory Evaluation

This rule 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 not been reviewed 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 rule to be so minimal that

a full Regulatory Evaluation under

paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies

and procedures of DOT is unnecessary

because of the event’s short duration

and limited area.

Small Entities

For the reasons stated above, the

Coast Guard believes that there will not

be a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies

under section 605(b) of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) that

this temporary rule will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

because of the event’s short duration

and limited area.

Collection of Information

This rule contains no information

collection requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq).

Federalism Assessment

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

action in accordance with the principles

and criteria of Executive Order 12612

and has determined that this rule does

not raise sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

Environmental Assessment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that under section 2.B.2.C. of

Commandant Instruction M16475.1B,

(as revised by 61 FR 13563; March 27,

1996) this rule is excluded from further

environmental documentation.

Coast Guard ‘‘Patrol Commander’’ is a

Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or

petty officer who has been designated

official patrol vessel, a spectator shall

come to an immediate stop. Vessels

shall comply with all directions given;

failure to do so may result in a citation.

(3) The Patrol Commander is

empowered to forbid and control the

movement of all vessels in the regulated

area. The Patrol Commander may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

The 1997 Shell Air and Sea Show will

take place in the Atlantic Ocean from

Fort Lauderdale Beach out to 1⁄2 nautical

mile off shore, between Oakland Park

Boulevard and the 17th Street

Causeway. There will be approximately

18 participating racers in ski boats, jet

skis, and off shore racing powerboats. In

addition, various military aircraft,

including high performance aircraft,

will be operating at high speeds and low

altitudes in the area directly above the

regulated area.

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a

notice of proposed rulemaking was not

published for these regulations and

good cause exists for making it effective

in less than 30 days after Federal

Register publication. Publishing a

NPRM and delaying its effective date

would be contrary to national safety

interests since immediate action is

needed to minimize potential danger to

the public due to the anticipated

concentration of spectator craft.

Following normal rulemaking

procedures would have been

impracticable, as there was not

sufficient time remaining to publish

proposed rules in advance of the event

or to provide for a delayed effective

date, because the final information

regarding which military aircraft would

participate, was only determined the

week of March 17, 1997.

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

10e of the regulatory policies and

procedures of DOT is unnecessary.

Entry into the regulated area is

prohibited for only 4.0 hours on the first

day of the event, and 8.0 hours on

second and third days of the event.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

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

must consider whether this rule will

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

‘‘Small entities’’ include independently

owned and operated 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 certifies under

section 605(b) of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.),

that this rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities because it will

be in effect for a maximum of eight

hours in a limited area.

Collection of Information

This rule contains 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 it has been determined that

the rule does not have sufficient

federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Environmental Assessment

The Coast Guard has considered the

environmental impact of this action

consistent with Section 2.B.2 of

Commandant Instruction M16475.1B. In

accordance with that section, this action

has been environmentally assessed (EA

completed), and the Coast Guard has

determined that it will not significantly

affect the quality of the human

environment. An environmental

assessment and finding of no significant

impact have been prepared and are

available in the docket for inspection

and copying.

Special Local Regulations

In consideration of the foregoing, Part

100 of Title 33, Code of Federal

Regulations, is amended as follows:

PART 100—[AMENDED]

1. The authority citation for Part 100

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233, 49 CFR 1.46 and

33 CFR 100.35.

2. A temporary section 100.35T–07–

012 is added to read as follows:

§ 100.35T–07–012 Fort Lauderdale, FL.

(a) Regulated Area. All waters of the

Atlantic Ocean west of a line drawn

from 26–10.51N, 080–05.50W to 26–

06.50N, 080–05.50W. All coordinates

referenced use Datum: NAD 83.

(b) Regulations. (1) Entry into the

regulated area by other than event

participants is prohibited unless

otherwise authorized by the Patrol

Commander.

(2) All vessels shall immediately

follow any specific instructions given by

event patrol craft and exercise extreme

caution while operating in or near the

regulated area. A succession of no fewer

than 5 short whistle or horn blasts from

a patrol vessel will be the signal for any

non-participating vessels to stop

immediately. The display of an orange

distress smoke signal from a patrol

vessel will be the signal for any and all

vessels to stop immediately.

(3) After the termination of the 1997

Shell Air & Sea Show event for each
