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 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.

For the same reasons, 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.

Background and Purpose

These regulations are required to

provide for the safety of life on

navigable waters because of the inherent

danger of fireworks during the Skull

Creek July 4th celebration on Skull

Creek, Hilton Head, SC. The event

sponsor expects approximately 120

spectator craft to observe the show. The

fireworks barge will be located in

approximate position 32 13.95′ N, 080

45.1′ W, offshore from Hudsons

Seafood. This rule creates a regulated

area that will prohibit non-participating

vessels from entering the regulated area

during the event.

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 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). The

regulated area will only be in effect for

approximately 2 hours.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601–612) we considered

whether this rulemaking will have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

Small entities include small business,

not-for-profit organizations that are

independently owned and operated and

are not dominant under their fields, and

governmental jurisdictions with

populations of less than 50,000.

This rule will affect the following

entities, some of which may be small

entities: the owners and operators of

vessels intending to transit or anchor in

a portion of the Skull Creek intercoastal

waterway from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.,

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 only be in effect

for 2 hours.

Assistance for Small Entities

Under section 213 (a) of the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996 (Public 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–GAIR (1–888–734–3247)

Collection of Information

This rule contains no collection of

information requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (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 safety that may

disproportionately affect children.

Environment

The Coast Guard has considered the

environmental impact of this action and

30806 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 111 / Friday, June 8, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

has determined pursuant to Figure 2–1,

paragraph 34(h) of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1C, that this action

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.

Drawbridge Operation Regulations:

Annisquam River, Blynman Canal, MA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation

from regulations.

SUMMARY: The Commander, First Coast

Guard District, has issued a temporary

deviation from the drawbridge operation

regulations for the SR 127 Bridge, mile

0.0, across the Annisquam River,

Blynman Canal, in Gloucester,

Massachusetts. This deviation from the

regulations allows the bridge owner to

keep the bridge in the closed position

from June 18, 2001 through June 27,

2001, at various times to facilitate the

emergency repair of the bridge power

supply cable.

DATES: This deviation is effective from

June 18, 2001 through June 27, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John

McDonald, Project Officer, First Coast

Guard District, at (617) 223–8364.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SR

127 Bridge, at mile 0.0, across the

Annisquam River Blynman Canal in

Gloucester, Massachusetts, has a vertical

clearance of 7 feet at mean high water,

and 16 feet at mean low water in the

closed position.

The existing drawbridge operation

regulations require the draw to open on

signal at all times.

The bridge owner, Massachusetts

Highway Department (MHD), requested

a temporary deviation from the

drawbridge operating regulations to

facilitate the emergency repair of the

bridge power supply cable.

The contractor must work five fourhour days from June 18, 2001 through

June 22, 2001, during daylight hours, at

slack tide in order to excavate the

underwater trench for the new power

supply cable. The working hours will

vary each day depending upon the time

period that slack tide occurs. During

these four-hour work periods each day

the bridge will not open for vessel

traffic.

The bridge will operate according to

its normal schedule, opening on

demand, from June 23, 2001 through 7

a.m. June 25, 2001. From 7 a.m. June 25,

2001 through midnight on June 27, 2001

the bridge will not open for vessel traffic

in order to change over to the new cable

and connect all the power supply wires

at the bridge.

This deviation to the operating

regulations allows the owner of the SR

127 Bridge to keep the bridge in the

closed position four-hours a day during

daylight hours at slack tide from June

18, 2001 through June 22, 2001 and

from 7 a.m. on June 25, 2001 through

midnight on June 27, 2001.

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c),

this work will be performed with all due

speed in order to return the bridge to

normal operation as soon as possible.

This deviation from the operating

regulations is authorized under 33 CFR

117.35.

Dated: May 24, 2001.
