30314 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

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 concern an environmental risk

to health or risk to safety that may

disproportionately affect children.

Environment

The Coast Guard has considered the

environmental impact of this action and

has determined under Figure 2–1,

paragraph 34(h) of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1C, that this rule is

categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation.

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.

Special Local Regulations; Sarasota

Bay, Sarasota, Florida

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

temporarily modifying the special local

regulation for the Suncoast Kilo Run in

Sarasota, FL. The sponsor of the event

recently changed the event date. These

regulations are needed to provide for the

safety of life on navigable waters during

the event.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 a.m.

June 29, 2001 to 1 p.m. June 29, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material

received from the public, as well as

documents indicated in this preamble as

being available in the docket, are part of

docket CGD07–01–043 and are available

for inspection or copying at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

We did not publish a notice of

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this

regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists

for not publishing an NPRM. Publishing

an NPRM is unnecessary and contrary to

public safety interests because

immediate action is needed to protect

the public and because this temporary

rule only modifies an existing published

regulation.

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. This is because entry into the

regulated area will only be prohibited

for approximately five hours on the day

of the event, and traffic will be able to

safely pass around the race area.

Additionally, delaying the effective date

would be contrary to the public interest

because it is needed on the day of the

event in order to protect the safety of the

race participants and the general public.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 30315

Background and Purpose

The Suncoast Offshore Racing

Association is sponsoring a sanctioned

American Power Boat Association

World Record Kilo Event, with

approximately 50 power boats, ranging

in length from 21 to 50 feet participating

in the 2001 Suncoast Kilo Run. The race

will take place in Sarasota Bay on June

29, 2001. There will also be

approximately two hundred (200)

spectator craft. A Special Local

Regulation exists at 33 CFR 100.718 for

this event, which is usually held in July.

However, the sponsor changed the date

for this year. These regulations are

intended to promote safe navigation on

the waters of Sarasota Bay by

controlling the traffic entering, exiting,

and traveling within the regulated area.

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. The Office of Management and

Budget has exempted it from review

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

10e of the regulatory policies and

procedures of DOT is unnecessary.

Entry into the regulated area is

prohibited for only approximately five

hours on the day of the event and traffic

can safely pass around the race area.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we 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.

This special local regulation will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities

for the following reasons. This

regulation will only be in effect for five

hours on the day of the event. Further

traffic can safely pass around the

regulated area.

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.

Assistance for Small Entities

Under section 213(a) of the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–

221), we want to assist small entities in

understanding this rule so that they can

better evaluate its effects on them and

participate in the rulemaking process. If

the rule will affect your small business,

organization, or government jurisdiction

and you have questions concerning its

provisions or options for compliance,

please contact the person listed under

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT for

assistance in understanding this rule.

We also have a point of contact for

commenting on actions by employees of

the Coast Guard. 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).

Collection of Information

This rule contains no collection of

information requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501–3520).

Federalism

We have analyzed this rule under

Executive Order 13132 and have

determined that this rule does not have

implications for federalism under that

order.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) governs

the issuance of Federal regulations that

require unfunded mandates. An

unfunded mandate is a regulation that

requires a State, local, or tribal

government or the private sector to

incur direct costs without the Federal

Government’s having first provided the

funds to pay those unfunded mandate

costs. This rule will not impose an

unfunded mandate.

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 concern an environmental risk

to health or risk to safety that may

disproportionately affect children.

Environment

The Coast Guard has considered the

environmental impact of this action and

has determined under Figure 2–1,

paragraph 34(h) of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1C, that this rule is

categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

We did not publish a notice of

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this

regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists

for not publishing an NPRM. Publishing

an NPRM would be unnecessary and

contrary to national safety interests

since immediate action is needed to

minimize potential danger to the public

because there will be numerous

spectator craft in the area.

Background and Purpose

These regulations are required to

provide for the safety of life on

navigable waters because of the inherent

danger of fireworks being launched near

spectator vessels during the Harbour

Town Display, Calibogue Sound, Hilton

Head, SC. The regulations prohibit

vessels from coming within 1000 feet of

the fireworks barge which will be

located at approximate position 32

08.2′N, 080 49.2′W.

Regulatory Evaluation

This rule 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. The Office of Management and

Budget has not reviewed it 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).

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we 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.

This rule may affect the following

entities, some of which may be small

entities: the owners or operators of

vessels intending to transit or anchor in

a portion of Calibogue Sound from 8:30

p.m. to 10:15 p.m. on July 4, 2001. 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

because the rule will be in effect for

only 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Assistance for Small Entities

Under section 213(a) of the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pubic Law 104–

221), we offer 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 entities may contact the

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT for assistance in

understanding and participating in this

rulemaking. We also have a point of

contact for commenting on actions by

employees of the Coast Guard. 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).

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

We have analyzed this rule under

Executive Order 13132 and have

order.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) governs

the issuance of Federal regulations that

require unfunded mandates. An

unfunded mandate is a regulation that

requires a State, local, or tribal

government or the private sector to

incur direct costs without the Federal
