DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[CGD11–98–003]

RIN 2115–AA97

Security Zone; San Diego Bay

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to

modify and expand the geographical

boundaries of the permanent security

zone codified at 33 CFR 165.1105 as

follows: on the waters along the

northern shoreline of Naval Air Station

North Island, the area enclosed by the

following points: Beginning at a point

located at 32°42′53.0′′ N, 117°11′45.0′′

W, thence running northerly to a point

located at 32°42′55.5′′ N, 117°11′45.0′′

W, thence running easterly to a point

located at 32°42′55.0′′ N, 117°11′30.5′′

W, thence running southeasterly to a

point located at 32°42′50.5′′ N,

117°11′26.0′′ W, thence running

northeasterly to a point located at

32°42′52.0′′ N, 117°11′24.5′′ W, thence

running southeasterly to a point located

at 32°42′43.5′′ N, 117°11′13.0′′ W,

thence running southerly to a point

located at 32°42′30.5′′ N, 117°11′18.0′′

W, thence running southeasterly to a

point located at 32°42′21.0′′ N,

117°10′48.0′′ W, thence running

southerly to a point located at

32°42′13.0′′ N, 117°10′51.0′′ W, thence

running generally northwesterly along

the shoreline of Naval Air Station North

Island to the place of beginning. The

perimeter of the security zone will

continue to be marked and patrolled by

United States Navy security patrol

boats.

There were previously only two

aircraft carriers homeported at Naval Air

Station North Island; however, a third

aircraft carrier has recently been

designated to homeport at Naval Air

Station North Island. The modification

and expansion of this security zone is

needed to accommodate the

homeporting of this third aircraft carrier

at Naval Air Station North Island. Entry

into, transit through, or anchoring

within this security zone is prohibited

unless authorized by the Captain of the

Port.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 14, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

LT Michael A. Arguelles, Coast Guard

Marine Safety Office, 2716 North Harbor

27020 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 94 / Friday, May 15, 1998 / Proposed Rules

Background and Purpose

This modification of 33 CFR 165.1105

is being proposed to accommodate the

homeporting of a new aircraft carrier at

Naval Air Station North Island. There

were previously only two aircraft

carriers homeported at Naval Air Station

North Island; however, a third aircraft

carrier has recently been designated to

homeport at Naval Air Station North

Island. The modification and expansion

of this security zone is needed to

accommodate the homeporting of this

third aircraft carrier at Naval Air Station

North Island.

The modification and expansion of

this security zone will prevent

recreational and commercial craft from

interfering with military operations

involving all naval vessels homeported

at Naval Air Station North Island, and

it will protect transiting recreational and

commercial vessels, and their respective

crews, from the navigational hazards

posed by such military operations. Entry

into, transit through, or anchoring

within this security zone is prohibited

unless authorized by the Captain of the

Port.

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

10(e) of the regulatory policies and

procedures of DOT is unnecessary. This

proposal will have minimal additional

impact on vessel traffic because it is

only a slight modification and

expansion of the existing security zone

codified at 33 CFR 165.1105.

Small Entities

Under 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., the Coast

Guard must consider whether this

proposal would have significant impact

on a substantial number of small

entities. ‘‘Small entities’’ include

independently owned and operated

small 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 expects

the economic impact of the proposal to

be minimal on all entities. Because it

expects the impact of this proposal to be

minimal, the Coast Guard certifies

under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposal,

if adopted, will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.

Collection of Information

This proposed regulation contains no

collection of information requirements

under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Federalism

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

proposed regulation under the

principles and criteria contained in

Executive Order 12612 and has

determined that this regulation 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 regulation

and concluded that, under Figure 2–1,

paragraph (34)(g), of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1C, it will have no

significant environmental impact and it

is categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation. A

Categorical Exclusion Determination

and Environmental Analysis Checklist

will be available for inspection and

copying in the docket to be maintained

at the address listed in ADDRESSES.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation

(water), Reporting and recordkeeping

requirements, Security measures,

Waterways.

Proposed Regulation

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Coast Guard proposes to amend subpart

F of part 165 of Title 33, Code of Federal

Regulations, as follows:

1. The authority citation for 33 CFR

part 165 continues to read as follows:

33 CFR 1.05–1(g) 6.04–1, 6.04–6, and 160.5;

49 CFR 1.46.

2. In § 165.1105 paragraph (a), is

revised to read as follows:

§ 165.1105 Security Zone: San Diego Bay,

CA.

(a) Location. The following area is a

security zone: on the waters along the

northern shoreline of Naval Air Station

North Island, the area enclosed by the

following points: beginning at a point

located at 32°42′53.0′′N, 117°11′45.0′′W;

thence running northerly to a point

located at 32°42′55.5′′N, 117°11′45.0′′W;

thence running easterly to a point

located at 32°42′55.0′′N; 117°11′30.5′′W;

thence running southeasterly to a point

located at 32°42′50.5′′N, 117°11′26.0′′W;

thence running northeasterly to a point

located at 32°42′52.0′′N; 117°11′24.5′′W;

thence running southeasterly to a point

located at 32°42′43.5′′N; 117°11′13.0′′W;

thence running southerly to a point

located at 32°42′30.5′′N; 117°11′18.0′′W;

thence running southeasterly to a point

located at 32°42′21.0′′N; 117°10′48.0′′W;

thence running southerly to a point

located at 32°42′13.0′′N; 117°10′51.0′′W;

thence running generally northwesterly

along the shoreline of naval Air Station

North Island to the place of beginning.

SUMMARY: In February 1998, EPA

proposed the Consumer Confidence

Report rule (62 FR 7606, Feb. 13, 1998).

group sessions. These groups of

consumers provided comments on

proposed definitions of regulatory terms

and health effects language, as well as

general comments on the consumer

confidence reports. EPA will consider

the input of the focus groups when

making decisions regarding the final

rule. The report of the focus group

moderator, transcripts of the sessions,

and supporting documents are available

for review. EPA requests comments on

the results of the focus group study.
