24746 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 86 /Tuesday, May 5, 1998 /Rules and Regulations

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

establishes a Class E airspace area at

Borrego Springs, CA. Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface was

required for aircraft executing

instrument operations at Borrego Valley

Airport. The effect of this action will

provide adequate airspace for aircraft

executing the GPS RWY 25 SIAP at

Borrego Valley Airport, Borrego Springs,

CA.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. Therefore, this regulation—(1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

[T.D. 98–37]

Abolishment of Boca Grande as a Port

of Entry

AGENCY: U.S. Customs Service,

Department of the Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document amends the

Customs Regulations by abolishing the

port of entry of Boca Grande, Florida, in

order for Customs to obtain more

efficient use of its personnel, facilities

and resources and to provide better

service to carriers, importers and the

general public.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 4, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Harry Denning, Office of Field

Operations, 202-927-0196.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background

As part of a continuing program to

obtain more efficient use of its

personnel, facilities and resources, and

to provide better service to carriers,

importers, and the general public,

Customs proposed to amend

§ 101.3(b)(1), Customs Regulations (19

CFR 101.3(b)(1)), by abolishing the port

of Boca Grande, Florida. A Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking to this effect was

published in the Federal Register (62

FR 37526) on July 14, 1997. The port

was proposed to be abolished because

there is not sufficient activity at the port

to maintain the facility, and there are

other nearby active ports such as

Sarasota and Tampa which are available

to handle any Customs transactions in

that geographical area.

Determination

No comments either supporting or

opposing the proposal were received.

After further consideration of the

proposal, Customs has determined to

abolish the port of Boca Grande, Florida.

Authority

This change is made under the

authority of 5 U.S.C. 301 and 19 U.S.C.

2, 66 and 1624.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Customs establishes, expands and

consolidates Customs ports of entry

throughout the United States to

accommodate the volume of Customsrelated activity in various parts of the

country. Although this document was

issued with notice for public comment,

it is not subject to the notice and public

procedure requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553

because it relates to agency management

and organization. Accordingly, this

document is not subject to the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

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

Executive Order 12866

Because this document relates to

agency organization and management, it

is not subject to E.O. 12866.

Drafting Information

The principal author of this document

was Janet L. Johnson, Regulations

Branch, Office of Regulations and

Department of the Navy

32 CFR Part 706

Certifications and Exemptions Under

the International Regulations for

Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy

is amending its certifications and

exemptions under the International

Regulations for Preventing Collisions at

Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that

the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

General (Admiralty) of the Navy has

determined that USS DONALD COOK

(DDG 75) is a vessel of the Navy which,

due to its special construction and

purpose, cannot fully comply with

certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS

without interfering with its special

function as a naval ship. The intended

effect of this rule is to warn mariners in

waters where 72 COLREGS apply.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 17, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Captain R. R. Pixa, JAGC, U.S. Navy,

Admiralty Counsel, Office of the Judge

Advocate General, Navy Department,

200 Stovall Street, Alexandria, VA

325–9744.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.

1605, the Department of the Navy

amends 32 CFR part 706. This

amendment provides notice that the

Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

General (Admiralty) of the Navy, under

authority delegated by the Secretary of

the Navy, has certified that USS

DONALD COOK (DDG 75) is a vessel of

the Navy which, due to its special

construction and purpose, cannot fully

comply with the following specific

provisions of 72 COLREGS without

interfering with its special function as a

naval ship: Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(i)

pertaining to placement of the masthead

light or lights above and clear of all

other lights and obstructions; Annex I,

paragraph 2(f)(ii) pertaining to the

vertical placement of task lights; Annex

I, paragraph 3(a) pertaining to the

location of the forward masthead light

in the forward quarter of the vessel, and

the horizontal distance between the

forward and after masthead lights; and,

Annex I, paragraph 3(c) pertaining to

placement of task lights not less than

two meters from the fore and aft

centerline of the ship in the athwartship

direction. The Deputy Assistant Judge

Advocate General (Admiralty) has also

certified that the lights involved are

located in closest possible compliance

with the applicable 72 COLREGS

requirements.

Moreover, it has been determined, in

accordance with 32 CFR parts 296 and

701, that publication of this amendment

for public comment prior to adoption is

impracticable, unnecessary, and

contrary to public interest since it is

based on technical findings that the

placement of lights on this vessel in a

manner differently from that prescribed

herein will adversely affect the vessel’s

ability to perform its military functions.
