14046 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 59 / Monday, March 30, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

regulations implementing and enforcing 

its terms, 29 CFR Part 470, which 

required government contractors and 

subcontractors to post notices informing 

their employees of certain rights under 

federal law. These regulations also 

required federal contracting agencies 

and covered government contractors 

and subcontractors to include certain 

provisions of the Order in their 

contracts, subcontracts, and purchase 

orders. 

Because Executive Order 13496 

expressly revokes Executive Order 

13201, the authority for the Secretary’s 

implementing regulations at 29 CFR Part 

470 no longer exists. As a result, the 

implementing regulations are now 

without force and effect, and the 

Secretary no longer enforces them. 

Consequently, this final rule rescinds 

these regulations. 

The Secretary has determined that it 

need not publish the rescission of these 

regulations as a proposed rule, as 

generally required by the 

Administrative Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’), 

5 U.S.C. 553(b). Notice to the public and 

provision of a public comment period 

for this rule are unnecessary because 

Executive Order 13201, which 

authorized 29 CFR Part 470, has been 

revoked, and, therefore, no legal basis 

exists for these regulations. 

Furthermore, Section 13 of Executive 

Order 13496 provides that regulations 

implementing Executive Order 13201 

shall be promptly revoked. Therefore, 

good cause exists for dispensing with 

the notice and comment requirements of 

the APA. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). For the 

same reasons, good cause exists to make 

this rule effective immediately upon 

publication of this rule. 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). 

Regulatory Procedures 

Executive Order 12866 

This final rule has been drafted and 

reviewed in accordance with Executive 

Order 12866, section 1(b), Principles of 

Regulation. The Department has 

determined that this rule is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866, section 3(f), 

Regulatory Planning and Review. The 

Department has also determined that 

this rule is not ‘‘economically 

significant’’ as defined in section 3(f)(1) 

of Executive Order 12866. Therefore, the 

information enumerated in section 

6(a)(3)(C) of the order is not required. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This rescission is not a rule as defined 

in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601(2) and 604(a)) because a 

general notice of proposed rulemaking 

was not published nor an opportunity 

for notice and public comment provided 

in connection therewith. Therefore, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act is not 

required. The Secretary has certified 

this conclusion to the Chief Counsel for 

Advocacy of the Small Business 

Administration. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995—This rule will not include any 

Federal mandate that may result in 

increased expenditures by State, local, 

and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 

of $100 million or more, or in increased 

expenditures by the private sector of 

$100 million or more. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule contains no new 

information collection requirements for 

purposes of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 

This rule is not a major rule as 

defined by section 804 of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996. This rule will not 

result in an annual effect on the 

economy of $100,000,000 or more; a 

major increase in costs or prices; or 

significant adverse effects on 

competition, employment, investment, 

productivity, innovation, or on the 

ability of the United States-based 

companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and 

export markets.

Regulatory Information 

On September 23, 2008, we published 

a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) entitled Security Zone; Port of 

Mayaguez, Puerto Rico in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 54757). We received no 

letters commenting on the proposed 

rule. No public meeting was requested, 

and none was held. 

Background and Purpose 

Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist 

attacks on the World Trade Center in 

New York, the Pentagon in Arlington, 

Virginia, and Flight 93, the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued 

several warnings concerning the 

potential for additional terrorist attacks 

within the United States. In addition, 

the ongoing operations in the Middle 

East have made it prudent for U.S. ports 

to be on a higher state of alert because 

the Al-Qaeda organization and other 

similar organizations have declared an 

ongoing intention to conduct armed 

attacks on U.S. interests worldwide. Due 

to these concerns, security zones around 

passenger vessels are necessary to 

ensure the safety and protection of the 

passengers aboard. As part of the 

Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism 

Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99–399), Congress 

amended section 7 of the Ports and 

Waterways Safety Act (PWSA), 33 

U.S.C. 1226, to allow the Coast Guard to 

take actions, including the 

establishment of security zones, to 

prevent or respond to acts of terrorism 

against individuals, vessels, or public or 

commercial structures. Moreover, the 

Coast Guard has authority to establish 

security zones pursuant to the Act of 

June 15, 1917, as amended by the 

Magnuson Act of August 9, 1950 (50 

U.S.C. 191 et seq.) (the ‘‘Magnuson 

Act’’), and implementing the regulations 

promulgated by the President in 

subparts 6.01 and 6.04 of part 6 of title 

33 of the Code of Federal Regulations. 

The Coast Guard has established 

similar rules in the ports of San Juan, St. 

Thomas, and Frederiksted, St. Croix. 

This regulation was not necessary in the 

past because cruise ships only recently 

began to hail at the Port of Mayaguez. 

For the aforementioned reasons, the 

Coast Guard is establishing moving and 

fixed security zones to prevent vessels 

or persons from accessing the navigable 

waters around and under passenger 

vessels in the Port of Mayaguez, Puerto 

Rico. Due to the continued heightened 

security concerns, this rule is necessary 

to provide for the safety of the port, the 

vessels, and the passengers and crew on 

the vessels. 

Discussion of Comments and Changes 

Although no comments were received 

on the NPRM, the COTP would like to 

receive comments on a proposed change 

to the regulated text before issuing a 

final rule. The purpose of this change 

would be to clarify which vessels are 

considered cruise ship vessels. 

The pertinent sentence from the 

regulatory text in the NPRM reads as 

follows: 

Cruise ship means a passenger vessel 

greater than 100 feet in length that is 

authorized to carry more than 150 passengers 

for hire, except for a ferry. 

The replacement language proposed 

for the final rule would read as follows: 

Cruise ship means any vessel over 100 

gross register tons, carrying more than 12 

passengers for hire. 

The difference between the two 

versions is that in the final rule, instead 

of being defined by its length, a cruise 

ship would be defined by its gross 

tonnage and can carry more than 12 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES
14048 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 59 / Monday, March 30, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

passengers instead of more than 150 

passengers. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this interim rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this rule to be so minimal that a full 

Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. 

This rule may have impact on the 

public, but these potential impacts will 

be minimized for the following reason: 

there is ample room for vessels to 

navigate around this proposed security 

zone. Also, the Captain of the Port San 

Juan may, on a case-by-case basis, allow 

persons or vessels to enter the proposed 

security zone. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

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

whether this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises 

small businesses, not-for-profit 

organizations that are independently 

owned and operated and are not 

dominant in their fields, and 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard certifies under 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

This rule would affect the following 

entities, some of which might be small 

entities: the owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit, anchor, or 

moor within 50 yards of a cruise ship 

in the Port of Mayaguez. This rule will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

because cruise ships infrequently visit 

the Port of Mayaguez and small vessel 

traffic would be able to safely transit 

around the security zones. 

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. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

in the NPRM we offered to assist small 

entities in understanding the rule so 

that they could better evaluate its effects 

on them and participate in the 

rulemaking process. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 

888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The 

Coast Guard will not retaliate against 

small entities that question or complain 

about this rule or any policy or action 

of the Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This rule calls for no new collection 

of information under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520). 

Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on State or local governments and 

would either preempt State law or 

impose a substantial direct cost of 

compliance on them. We have analyzed 

this rule under that Order and have 

determined that it does not have 

implications for federalism. 

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 or more in any one year. 

Though this rule will not result in such 

an expenditure, we do discuss the 

effects of this rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This rule will not effect a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

Civil Justice Reform 

This 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. 

Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not 

an economically significant rule and 

does not create an environmental risk to 

health or risk to safety that may 

disproportionately affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does 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. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. We have 

determined that it is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under that order because 

it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866 and is not 

likely to have a significant adverse effect 

on the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 59 / Monday, March 30, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 14049 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 5100.1 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 concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions which do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(g), of the Instruction. Paragraph 

(34)(g) covers regulations establishing, 

disestablishing, or changing security 

zones. This rule involves establishing a 

security zone in the Port of Mayaguez. 

An environmental analysis checklist 

and a categorical exclusion 

determination are available in the 

docket where indicated under 

ADDRESSES.
