INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

19 CFR Part 210

Notice of Commission Decision Not To

Proceed With Proposed Rulemaking

Concerning Voting Procedures in

Investigations and Related

Proceedings on Unfair Practices in

Import Trade

AGENCY: International Trade

Commission.

ACTION: Notice that a proposed

rulemaking will not proceed.

SUMMARY: The Commission will not

proceed at this time with the proposed

amendment of certain final rules for

investigations and related proceedings

under section 337 of the Tariff Act of

1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337). The proposed

amendments were intended to do the

following: (1) Increase the number of

votes required for the Commission to

review an initial determination (ID) on

a matter other than temporary relief or

grant a request for oral argument in

connection with such a review; and (2)

prescribe the effect of a tie vote

concerning post-review disposition of

an ID on a matter other than temporary

relief.

DATES: April 26, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: P.

N. Smithey, Esq., Office of the General

Counsel, U.S. International Trade

Commission, telephone 202–205–3061.

Hearing-impaired individuals can

obtain information concerning the

proposed rulemaking by contacting the

Commission’s TDD terminal at 202–

205–1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

January 19, 1995, the Commission

published an advance notice of

proposed rulemaking for the final rules

to be codified in 19 CFR part 210

concerning investigations and related

proceedings under section 337 of the

Tariff Act. 60 FR 3785 (Jan. 19, 1995).

The notice solicited written comments

on whether the Commission should do

the following:

1. Amend final rule 210.43(d)(3) to provide

that the Commission will review an ID on a

matter other than temporary relief when at

least one-half of the participating

Commissioners vote in favor of a review;

2. Amend final rule 210.45(a) to provide

that the Commission will grant a request for

oral argument in connection with review of

an ID on a matter other than temporary relief

when at least one-half of the participating

Commissioners vote in favor of such

argument; and/or

3. Amend final rule 210.45(c), without

statutory changes, to state what effect a tievote will have on the Commission’s

disposition of an ID on a matter other than

temporary relief—e.g., that a tie vote on the

disposition of an ID after a review will

constitute an affirmance of the ID.

Comments were filed by the American

Bar Association’s Section of

International Law and Practice, the

Customs and International Trade Bar

Association, and the International Trade

Commission Trial Lawyers Association.

For the most part, the commenters

advocated alternative amendments or

retention of the existing rule or practice

in response to the questions of whether

the Commission should amend rules

210.43(d) and 210.45(a) as described in

the advance notice. The commenters

that addressed final rule 210.45(c) were

evenly divided on whether the

Commission should amend that rule as

described in the advance notice.

A majority of the Commission has

determined not to proceed with the

proposed amendment of final rules

210.43(d) and 210.45(a) at this time. A

majority of the Commission also has

determined not to proceed with the

proposed amendment of final rule

210.45(c) at this time.

Dated: April 21, 1995.

By order of the Commission.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 100

[CGD01–95–036]

Special Local Regulation: Whatever

Festival Hydroplanes, Kennebec River,

Augusta, ME

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to

establish a permanent special local

regulation for a racing event called the

Whatever Festival Hydroplanes. The

race will be held on Saturday, June 24,

and Sunday, June 25, 1995, and

thereafter annually on the fourth

weekend in June in the waters of the

Kennebec River, Augusta, ME. This

regulation is needed to protect the

boating public from the hazards

associated with high speed hydroplane

racing in confined waters.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before May 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

mailed to Commander(b), First Coast
20464 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 26, 1995 / Proposed Rules

Guard District, Captain John Foster

Williams Federal Building, 408 Atlantic

Ave., Boston, MA 02110–3350, or may

be hand delivered to Room 428 at the

same address, between 8 a.m. and 4

p.m., Monday through Friday, except

federal holidays. Comments will be

come part of this docket and will be

available for inspection or copying at

the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lieutenant(jg) B.M. Algeo, Chief,

Boating Affairs Branch, First Coast

Guard District, (617) 223–8311.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Request for Comments

The Coast Guard encourages

interested persons to participate in this

rulemaking by submitting written data,

views, or arguments. Persons submitting

comments should include their names

and addresses, identify this notice

(CGD01–95–036), the specific section of

the proposal to which each comment

applies, and give reasons for each

comment. The Coast Guard requests that

all comments and attachments be

submitted in an 81⁄2′′ x 11′′ unbound

format suitable for copying and

electronic filing. If that is not practical,

a second copy of any bound material is

requested. Persons requesting

acknowledgment of receipt of comments

should enclose a stamped, selfaddressed postcard or envelope.

The Coast Guard will consider all

comments received during the comment

period. It may change this proposal in

view of the comments. The Coast Guard

plans no public hearing. Persons may

request a public hearing by writing to

Commander(b), First Coast Guard

District at the address under ADDRESSES.

The request should include reasons why

a hearing would be beneficial. If it is

determined that the opportunity for oral

presentations will aid this rulemaking,

the Coast Guard will hold a public

hearing at a time and place announced

by a later notice in the Federal Register.

The shortened comment period for

this regulation was caused by a delay in

receiving necessary information from

the event sponsor. The Coast Guard

considers this shortened comment

period to be adequate because

considerable promotional efforts

undertaken by the sponsor have

effectively publicized the event

throughout the local area. The shortened

comment period will allow sufficient

time for the public to make substantive

comments on the proposed rule.

Drafting Information

The drafters of this notice are

Lieutenant(jg) B.M. Algeo, Project

Manager, First Coast Guard District, and

Lieutenant Commander S.R. Watkins,

Project Counsel, First Coast Guard

District Legal Office.

Background and Purpose

On February 3, 1995, the sponsor,

Kennebec Valley Chamber of

Commerce, submitted a request to hold

a hydroplane race on the Kennebec

River, Augusta, ME. The Coast Guard is

considering establishing a permanent

regulation on the Kennebec River for

this event known as the ‘‘Whatever

Festival Hydroplanes.’’ The proposed

regulation would establish a regulated

area on the Kennebec River and would

provide specific guidance to control

vessel movement during the race.

This event will include up to 50

hydroplanes competing on a rectangular

course at speeds approaching 70 m.p.h.

Due to the inherent dangers of a race of

this type, vessel traffic will be

temporarily restricted to provide for the

safety of the spectators and participants.

The sponsor will provide a minimum

of four safety boats, two manned with

divers, and an EMT rescue ambulance

on shore. All sponsor resources will be

identified with regatta signs or flags, in

accordance with American Power Boat

Association requirements, to augment

the Coast Guard patrol that will be

assigned to the event. The race course

will be well marked and patrolled, but

due to the speed and proximity of the

participating vessels, it is necessary to

establish a special local regulation to

control spectator and commercial vessel

movement within this confined area.

Discussion of Proposed Amendments

The Coast Guard proposes to establish

a special local regulation on specified

waters of the Kennebec River, Augusta,

Maine. The regulated area will be closed

to all traffic from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on

June 24, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on

June 25, 1995, and thereafter annually

on the fourth weekend in June. In

emergency situations, provisions will be

made to establish safe escort by Coast

Guard designated vessels for mariners

requiring transit through any regulated

area. This regulation is needed to

protect spectators and participants from

the hazards that accompany a high

speed powerboat race in a confined

area.

Regulatory Evaluation

This proposal 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 to be so

minimal that a full Regulatory

Evaluation, under paragraph 10e of the

regulatory policies and procedures of

DOT, is unnecessary. This conclusion is

based on the limited duration of the

race, the extensive advisories that have

been and will be made to the affected

maritime community, and the fact that

the event is taking place in an area

where the only commercial interests

affected are a few marinas.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Coast Guard

must consider whether this proposal

will have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small

entities. ‘‘Small entities’’ include

independently owned and operated

small businesses that are not dominant

in their fields and that otherwise qualify

as ‘‘small business concerns’’ under

section 3 of the Small Business Act (15

U.S.C. 632).

For the reasons discussed in the

Regulatory Evaluation, the Coast Guard

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

proposal will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.

Collection of Information

This proposal 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

proposal in accordance with the

principles and criteria contained in

Executive Order 12612 and has

determined that this proposal does not

have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a

Federalism Assessment.

Environment

The Coast Guard is considering the

environmental impacts of both the

proposed special regulations and the

Whatever Festival Hydroplanes race. It

is anticipated that an Environmental

Assessment (EA) will be written and

included in the docket concerning the

potential environmental impacts

resulting from this high speed

hydroplane race for which the Coast

Guard has received an ‘‘Application for

Marine Event Permit.’’ Comments in

this regard should be forwarded to the

address listed under ADDRESSES.
