32904 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 19, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995

This regulation does not affect an

existing OMB-approved information

collection and an OMB Form 83–I is not

required. The proposed rule simply

removes a definition. OMB approved

the information collection requirements

in part 256 under OMB control number

1010–0006, with a current expiration

date of March 31, 2004.

Federalism (Executive Order 13132)

According to Executive Order 13132,

this rule does not have Federalism

implications. This rule does not

substantially and directly affect the

relationship between the Federal and

State Governments. Elimination of the

redundant and unnecessary definition

of an ‘‘Affected State’’ could reduce

costs on States that are not affected by

the 5-year program and the cost to the

Federal Government of involving

unaffected States.

Takings Implications Assessment

(Executive Order 12630)

According to Executive Order 12630,

the rule does not have significant

Takings implications. A Takings

Implication Assessment is not required.

This rule has no effect on Takings, as it

only applies to States that would no

longer be automatically involved in the

preparation of a program that has no

effect on them, thereby eliminating the

possible burden of doing so.

Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order

12899)

According to Executive Order 12988,

the Office of the Solicitor has

determined that this rule does not

unduly burden the judicial system and

meets the requirements of sections 3(a)

and 3(b)(2) of the Order.

National Environment Policy Act

(NEPA)

We have analyzed this rule according

to the criteria of the NEPA and 516 DM.

This rule does not constitute a major

Federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment. An

environmental assessment is not

required. This rule will have no impact

regarding the criteria of the NEPA.

Unfunded Mandate Reform Act (UMRA)

of 1995

This rule does not impose an

unfunded mandate on State, local, or

tribal governments or the private sector

of more than $100 million per year. This

rule does not create any kind of a

mandate for State, local, or tribal

governments or the private sector. In

fact, it eliminates the need for the

Federal Government to involve certain

States in the preparation of a program

that will not affect them. A statement

containing the information required by

the UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. is not

required.

Sail Detroit and Tall Ship Celebration

2001, Detroit and Saginaw Rivers, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing temporary safety zones and

anchorage areas during the Sail Detroit

tall ship visit and harbor celebration in

the Detroit River, Detroit, Michigan, to

be held July 18–24, 2001 and the Tall

Ship Celebration 2001 to be held July

26–30, 2001 in the Saginaw River, Bay

City, Michigan. These zones are

necessary to promote the safe navigation

of vessels and the safety of life and

property during the periods of heavy

vessel traffic expected during these

events. These zones are intended to

restrict vessel traffic from a portion of

the Detroit River and restrict vessel

traffic in a portion of the Saginaw River.

DATES: This rule is effective from July

18–30, 2001, except for § 110.T09–007

and the suspension of § 110.206 which

are effective July 22, 2001 from 7:30

a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and the amendments

to § 117.647 which are effective July 26,

2001 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

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 CGD09–01–004 and are available

for inspection or copying at U.S. Coast

Guard Marine Safety Office Detroit, 110

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

On April 9, 2001, the Coast Guard

published a notice of proposed

rulemaking (NPRM) entitled Sail Detroit

and Tall Ship Celebration 2001, Detroit

and Saginaw Rivers, MI in the Federal

Register (66 FR 18419). The Coast Guard

did not receive any letters commenting

on the proposed rulemaking. No public

hearing was requested, and none was

held.

Background and Purpose

These temporary regulations are for

the Sail Detroit tall ship visit and harbor

celebration and Tall Ship Celebration

2001 to be held in the Detroit and

Saginaw Rivers, respectively. The Sail

Detroit tall ship visit is scheduled to be

part of Detroit 300, the celebration to

honor the 300th birthday of Detroit’s

founding. It is a shared international

event between the sister cities of Detroit,

MI and Windsor, Ontario Canada.

Temporary safety zones will be

established along both waterfront areas,

once tall ships are moored. Sail Detroit

will be highlighted by a 5-mile historic

vessel parade (approximately 50 vessels,

including 20 or more tall ships),

waterside events, in-port tours,

waterside moored vessel viewing, and a

re-enactment of Cadillac’s landing in

Detroit. The parade of historic ships will

take place in the Detroit River on July

22, 2001 between the Ojibway

Anchorage and Belle Isle. The reenactment of Antoine de la Mothe

Cadillac’s 1701 landing in Detroit will

take place on July 24, 2001, between

Belle Isle and Hart Plaza. The Coast

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 19, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 32905

Guard will establish a temporary safety

zone to ensure the safety of both events.

Tall Ship Celebration 2001 is a

community-wide maritime festival in

Bay City, MI, featuring a 6-mile ship

parade, in-port tours and waterside

moored vessel viewing between July 26

and July 30, 2001. A parade of ships

begins the Bay City celebration, forming

in Saginaw Bay and traversing the

Saginaw River to the Veterans Memorial

Bridge.

Vessels will moor at docks along

Veterans Park and Wenonah Park in Bay

City near the bridge. There will be a

temporary moving safety zone around

the parade vessels during the parade to

ensure the safety of passengers, crew

and visitors. A second temporary safety

zone between the Liberty Street Bridge

and the Veterans Memorial Bridge will

be established, once the sailing vessels

are moored.

These temporary regulations are

prompted by the high degree of control

necessary to ensure the safety of

participating and spectator vessels for

the events occurring in the Detroit

River, Saginaw Bay, and the Saginaw

River during this time. These

regulations provide guidance on vessel

movement controls, temporary

anchorage regulations, and safety zones

that will be in effect at specified marine

locations during specified times. The

temporary regulations are specifically

designed to minimize adverse impacts

on commercial users of the affected

waterways.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

The Coast Guard received no letters

commenting on the proposed

rulemaking. The event sponsors for the

Tall Ship Celebration 2001, to be held

in Bay City, have cancelled the planned

fireworks display. However, since the

temporary safety zone in place for the

moored vessels provided a sufficient

degree of safety, no specific regulations

were proposed for the fireworks.

References to a fireworks display in Bay

City have been removed from the

preamble, but no regulatory changes

were made to this rulemaking.

Regulatory Evaluation

This temporary final 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). Due to the short

duration of these marine events and the

advance notice provided to the marine

community, we expect the economic

impact of this temporary final rule to be

so minimal that a full Regulatory

Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the

regulatory policies and procedures of

DOT is unnecessary. The greatest

potential impact on port users will

occur on two days, Sunday, July 22,

2001, and Thursday, July 26, 2001. On

July 22, the Sail Detroit Ford Parade of

Ships will take place in the Detroit

River, and on July 26, the Tall Ship

Celebration 2001 parade of ships will

take place in Saginaw Bay and the

Saginaw River. On both of these days,

the combination of parade vessels and

large numbers of recreational vessels

will cause potential disruptions to

normal port activity. However, due to

the temporary nature of these

disruptions, they can be planned for in

advance to minimize the economic

hardship that might result. The largest

segments of the port community facing

disruptions are the operators of deep

draft vessels and the terminals they call

on. In addition to the extended advance

notice of these events provided by the

Captain of the Port Detroit, deep draft

vessel traffic will be accommodated as

best as possible on these two days.

Moreover, provisions have been made

by the Sail Detroit sponsor to allow

vessels transiting up-bound in the

Detroit River on Sunday, July 22, to be

included in the ship parade.

The Coast Guard expects that the

publication and advertisement of these

events and these regulations will allow

the industry sufficient time to adjust

schedules and minimize adverse

impacts. Compensating for any adverse

impacts are the favorable economic

impacts that these events will have on

commercial activity in the area as a

whole from the boaters and tourists

these events are expected to attract.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we considered

whether this temporary final 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.

For the reasons stated in the

Regulatory Evaluation section above, 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.

If you think that your business,

organization, or governmental

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity

and that this rule will 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 (Public Law 104–

121), we want to assist small entities in

understanding this temporary final rule

so that they can better evaluate its

effects on them and participate in the

rulemaking. If this rule will affect your

small business, organization, or

governmental jurisdiction and you have

questions concerning its provisions or

options for compliance, please contact

Marine Safety Office Detroit (see

ADDRESSES).

Collection of Information

This temporary final 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 temporary

final 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) 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.

32906 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 19, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

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.

Indian Tribal Governments

This rule does not have tribal

implications under Executive Order

13175, Consultation and Coordination

with Indian Tribal Governments. A rule

with tribal implications has a

substantial direct effect on one or more

Indian tribe, 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.

Environment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that, under figure 2–1,

paragraphs 34 (f), (g), and (h), and 32 (e)

of Commandant Instruction M16475.1C,

this rule will have no significant

environmental impact and is

categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation. A

‘‘Categorical Exclusion Determination’’

is available in the docket where

indicated under ADDRESSES.

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

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866 and is not likely to have a

significant adverse effect on the supply,

distribution, or use of energy. It has not

been designated by the Administrator of

the office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs as a significant energy action.

Therefore, it does not require a

statement of Energy Effects under

Executive Order 13211.

Huntington Cleveland Harborfest:

Regulated Navigation Area and Moving

Safety Zones, Cuyahoga River and

Cleveland Harbor, Cleveland, OH

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will

establish a temporary Regulated

Navigation Area (RNA) during the

Huntington Cleveland Harborfest event

in the Port of Cleveland, OH. The Coast

Guard will also establish a Moving

Safety Zone in conjunction with the

parade of ships as they transit Cleveland

Harbor. These regulations are necessary

to ensure the safe navigation of vessels

and the safety of life and property

during periods of heavy vessel traffic.

DATES: This rule is effective from July

11, 2001, until July 16, 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 (CGD09–01–005) and are

available for inspection or copying at

Coast Guard Marine Safety Office (MSO)

Cleveland, 1055 East Ninth Street,

Cleveland, Ohio, 44114, between 7 a.m.

and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,

except Federal holidays.

Lieutenant John Natale, Chief Port

Operations Department, Coast Guard

MSO Cleveland (216) 937–0111.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

On March 22, 2001, we published a

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)

entitled Cleveland Harborfest: Regulated

Navigation Area and Moving Safety

Zones, Cuyahoga River and Cleveland

Harbor, Cleveland, OH in the Federal

Register (66 FR 16020). We received no

letters commenting on the proposed

rule. No public hearing was requested

and none was held.

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. A 30 day delay in the effective

date is unnecessary because the public

was put on notice of our intent to

establish a regulated navigation area in

conjunction with the Huntington

Cleveland Harborfest when we

published our NPRM on March 22,

2001. Additionally, this rule will not go

into effect until approximately three

weeks after publication, which provides

additional notice to the public.

A 30 day delay in the effective period

would also be contrary to the public

interest. These regulations are needed to

ensure the safety of life and property

during the Harborfest event, which is

scheduled for July 11, 2001, through

July 16, 2001.

Background and Purpose

During the Huntington Cleveland

Harborfest, tall ships will moor at the

Cleveland Port Authority in Cleveland

Harbor. A RNA will be established on

the Cuyahoga River in the area of the

Flats from 12 p.m. July 11, 2001, until

1 p.m. July 16, 2001. Although the tall

ships will not be moored in the
