DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Customs Service

19 CFR Parts 101 and 122

[T.D. 98–35]

Customs Service Field Organization;

Establishment of Sanford Port of Entry

AGENCY: Customs Service; Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document confirms that

May 1, 1998, is the effective date for the

establishment of a Customs port of entry

at Orlando-Sanford Airport in Sanford,

Florida. Orlando-Sanford Airport’s

designation as a user fee airport will

terminate on the same date.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 1, 1998 is the

effective date for amendment of

§§ 101.3(b)(1) and 122.15(b), Customs

Regulations, published in the Federal

Register (62 FR 37131) on July 11, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Harry Denning, Office of Field

Operations (202) 927–0196.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 11, 1997, Customs published

a document in the Federal Register (62

FR 37131) T.D. 97–64 which amended

§ 101.3(b), Customs Regulations (19 CFR

101.3(b)), to establish a new port of

entry at Orlando-Sanford Airport in

Sanford, Florida, and amended

§ 122.15(b), Customs Regulations (19

CFR 122.15(b)) to remove the Sanford

Regional Airport from the list of user fee

airports. Customs set forth in that

document the justification for

redesignating the airport facility from its

user fee status to that of a port of entry

and designated November 10, 1997, as

the effective date.

For reasons set forth in a document

(T.D. 97–88) published in the Federal

Register (62 FR 60164) on November 7,

1997, Customs delayed the effective

date for establishment of the new port

of entry and the termination of the

airport’s user fee status until May 1,

1998, and solicited comments regarding

the delayed effective date. In that

document, Customs stated that if

comments submitted demonstrated

sufficient grounds for not delaying the

effective date until May 1, 1998,

Customs would issue another

document. The comment period expired

on December 8, 1997.

Discussion of Comments

Six comments were received in

response to the document delaying the

effective date until May 1, 1998, four

opposing the delay and two in favor of

extending the delay until July 1, 1998.

The four comments opposing the

delay emanate from the State of Maine

and were submitted by members of the

Maine congressional delegation and by

attorneys on behalf of Bangor

International Airport. These comments

essentially contend that Bangor

International Airport is being harmed by

the delay because flights would clear at

Bangor but for the market distortion

caused by Sanford being permitted to

operate longer as a user fee airport not

subject to the passenger fee that is

assessed at ports of entry.

The two comments urging further

delay beyond May 1, 1998, in the

establishment of a port of entry at

Orlando-Sanford Airport come from that

airport and from attorneys on its behalf.

The comments argue that the delay does

not impose an unwarranted competitive

burden on port of entry airports such as

Bangor International Airport.
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 81 /Tuesday, April 28, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 23215

They further contend that until the

construction of the cargo building and

security system at Orlando-Sanford

Airport, which has been delayed, the

airport does not fully meet the criteria

for a Customs port of entry.

Determination

Customs decision to suspend the

November 10, 1997, effective date for

conversion of Orlando-Sanford Airport

to a port of entry was based in large part

on claims that imposition of port of

entry status on the date set by Customs

would subject the Airport Operator to a

significant additional cost that it could

not, under agreements effective through

May 1, 1998 with carriers landing at

Orlando-Sanford Airport, pass on to

carriers.

After reviewing all the comments,

which basically represent two distinct

competitive interests, Customs believes

that delaying the designation of

Orlando-Sanford Airport as a port of

entry was appropriate under the

circumstances. However, Customs

believes Orlando-Sanford Airport was

provided with sufficient opportunity to

resolve the concerns it proffered to

obtain that delayed effective date.

Accordingly, Customs believes that the

designation should not be further

delayed.

Further, Customs believes the

comments received did not demonstrate

sufficient grounds for making the

Orlando-Sanford Airport a port of entry

before the May 1, 1998 announced

effective date.

Accordingly, Customs is confirming

that the effective date for the

establishment of the Orlando-Sanford

port of entry and the date for the

termination of the airport’s user fee

status is May 1, 1998.

Amendment to the Regulations

For the reasons stated above, the

effective date of the final rule document

FR Doc. 97–18206, published in the

Federal Register on July 11, 1997, and

delayed until May 1, 1998, pursuant to

interim rule document FR Doc. 97–

29599, published in the Federal

Register on November 7, 1997, is now

finalized as May 1, 1998.

Regulatory Flexibility Act and

Executive Order 12866

Because this document merely

confirms a decision previously made,

this document is not subject to the

notice and public procedure

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, and is not

subject to the provisions of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 603

et seq.). This amendment does not meet

the criteria for a ‘‘significant regulatory

action’’ as specified in Executive Order

12866.

Samuel H. Banks,

Acting Commissioner of Customs.

Approved: April 17, 1998.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

33 CFR Part 100

[CGD 05–98–028]

Special Local Regulations for Marine

Events; Approaches to Annapolis

Harbor, Spa Creek, and Severn River,

Annapolis, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of implementation.

SUMMARY: This notice implements the

special local regulations at 33 CFR

100.511 during the Warfare Capabilities

Demonstration, a marine event to be

held May 1, 1998, on Spa Creek and the

Severn River at Annapolis, Maryland.

These special local regulations are

necessary to control vessel traffic in the

vicinity of the U.S. Naval Academy due

to the confined nature of the waterway

and expected vessel congestion during

the helicopter rappelling demonstration.

The effect will be to restrict general

navigation in the regulated area for the

safety of spectators, event participants,

and other vessels transiting the event

area.

DATES: 33 CFR 100.511 is effective from

1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on May 1, 1998.

Marine Events Coordinator,

Commander, Coast Guard Activities

Baltimore, 2401 Hawkins Point Road,

Baltimore, MD 21226–1971, (410) 576–

2674.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.

Naval Academy Sailing Squadron will

sponsor the Warfare Capabilities

Demonstration on the Severn River, near

the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis,

Maryland. Waterborne activities will

consist of Navy SEALS rappelling from

a helicopter. In order to ensure the

safety of participants and transiting

vessels, 33 CFR 100.511 will be in effect

for the duration of the event. Under

provisions of 33 CFR 100.511, a vessel

may not enter the regulated area unless

it receives permission from the Coast

Guard Patrol Commander. Spectator

vessels may anchor outside the

regulated area but may not block a

navigable channel. Because these

restrictions will be in effect for a limited

period, they should not result in a

significant disruption of maritime

traffic.

Drawbridge Operation Regulations;

Wicomico River (North Prong)

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation

from regulations.

SUMMARY: The Commander, Fifth Coast

Guard District has issued a temporary

deviation from the regulations

governing the operation of the Main

Street drawbridge across the Wicomico

River, mile 22.4, in Salisbury, Maryland.

Beginning April 21, 1998, through May

19, 1998, this deviation requires threehours advance notice for drawbridge

openings from 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. on

weekdays and from 7 p.m. on Fridays

through 6 a.m. on Mondays. This

deviation is necessary to allow the

contractor to paint the bridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from

April 21, 1998 through May 19, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ann B. Deaton, Bridge Administrator,

Fifth Coast Guard District, at (757) 398–

6222.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Textar

Painting Corporation, a contractor for

the Maryland Department of

Transportation, requested the Coast

Guard to approve a temporary deviation

from the normal operation of the bridge

in order to accommodate painting the

structure. To paint the bridge, a barge

must be used which will block the

waterway. Three-hours advance notice

will be required to move the barge out

of the channel and open the bridge

during the requested time periods.

This deviation will not significantly

disrupt vessel traffic, since very little

exists during this time of the year. The

regulations at 33 CFR 117.579 require

the draw to open on signal except from

7 a.m. to 9 a.m., from 12 noon to 1 p.m.,
