FR Federal Register 

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule under the authority in 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory 

provision authorizes an agency to issue 

a rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment when the 

agency for good cause finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ The Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because the 

Coast Guard did not receive sufficient 

notice of this fireworks event in time to 

publish an NPRM. We must establish 

this safety zone by December 8, 2024 to 

protect personnel, vessels, and the 

marine environment from potential 

hazards created by a fireworks display. 

Accordingly, it is impracticable to 

publish an NPRM because we lack 

sufficient time to provide a reasonable 

comment period and then consider 

those comments before issuing the rule. 

Also, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the 

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists 

for making this rule effective less than 

30 days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date of 

this rule would be impracticable 

because prompt action is needed to 

ensure potential safety hazards 

associated with fireworks do not impact 

the safety of the public and the marine 

environment. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The 

Captain of the Port Los Angeles-Long 

Beach (COTP) has determined that 

potential hazards associated with a 

fireworks event on December 8, 2024, 

will be a safety concern for anyone 

within Santa Barbara Harbor. This rule 

is needed to protect personnel, vessels, 

and the marine environment in the 

navigable waters within the safety zone 

during the fireworks event.

97542 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 236 / Monday, December 9, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

IV. Discussion of the Rule 

This rule establishes a safety zone 

from 6 p.m. through 7:30 p.m. on 

December 8, 2024. The safety zone will 

cover all navigable waters within Santa 

Barbara Harbor. The duration of the 

zone is intended to protect personnel, 

vessels, and the marine environment in 

these navigable waters during the 

fireworks event. No vessel or person 

will be permitted to enter the safety 

zone without obtaining permission from 

the COTP or a designated 

representative. 

V. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

Executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes and 

Executive orders, and we discuss First 

Amendment rights of protestors. 

A. Regulatory Planning and Review 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits. 

This rule has not been designated a 

‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under 

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as 

amended by Executive Order 14094 

(Modernizing Regulatory Review). 

Accordingly, this rule has not been 

reviewed by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on the size, location, duration 

and time-of-day of the safety zone. This 

safety zone will impact a small, 

designated area during the evening 

when vessel traffic is normally low. 

Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue 

a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via 

VHF–FM marine channel 16 about the 

zone, and the rule would allow vessels 

to seek permission to enter the zone. 

B. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 

requires Federal agencies to consider 

the potential impact of regulations on 

small entities during rulemaking. 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. 

While some owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit the safety 

zone may be small entities, for the 

reasons stated in section V.A. above, 

this rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on any vessel owner 

or operator. 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

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

we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this rule. If the rule 

would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. 

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. 

C. Collection of Information 

This rule will not call for a new 

collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal 

Governments 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on the States, on the relationship 

between the National Government and 

the States, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. We have 

analyzed this rule under that Order and 

have determined that it is consistent 

with the fundamental federalism 

principles and preemption requirements 

described in Executive Order 13132. 

Also, 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. 

E. 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 (adjusted for inflation) 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. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, associated 

implementing instructions, and 

Environmental Planning COMDTINST 

5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have 

determined that this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule involves a safety 

zone lasting only one and a half hours 

that will prohibit entry within Santa 

Barbara Harbor. It is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 

1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01– 

001–01, Rev. 1. A Record of 

Environmental Consideration 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket. For instructions 

on locating the docket, see the 

ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 

G. Protest Activities

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of

I. Proposed Action 

On August 19, 2024 (89 FR 67014), 

the EPA proposed to approve the 

following rules into the Arizona SIP. 

Local agency Rule No. Rule title Revised Submitted 

MCAQD ............. 350 Storage and Transfer of Organic Liquids (Non-Gasoline) at an Organic Liquid Distribution (OLD) Facility.11/18/2020 12/03/2020 

MCAQD ............. 351 Storage and Loading of Gasoline at Bulk Gasoline Plants and at Bulk Gasoline Terminals.11/18/2020 12/03/2020 

We proposed to approve these rules 

because we determined that they 

comply with the relevant CAA 

requirements. We also proposed to 

approve the MCAQD’s RACT 

demonstration associated with these 

rules for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

Additionally, we proposed that the 

revised rules corrected the deficiencies 

identified in our previous conditional 

approval (85 FR 10986, February 26, 

2020). Our proposed action contains 

more information on the rules and our 

evaluation. 

II. Public Comments and EPA 

Responses 

The EPA’s proposed action provided 

a 30-day public comment period. During 

this period, we received no comments. 

III. EPA Action 

No comments were submitted. 

Therefore, as authorized in section 

110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is 

approving MCAQD Rule 350 and Rule 

351 into the Arizona SIP. The November 

18, 2020 version of Rule 350 and Rule 

351 will replace the conditionally 

approved version of these rules in the 

SIP. This action signifies that the State 

of Arizona has fulfilled its commitment
