Special Local Regulations for Marine 

Events; Sunset Lake, Wildwood Crest, 

NJ 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a special local regulation 

during the ‘‘Sunset Lake Hydrofest’’, a 

marine event to be held September 24 

and 25, 2005, on the waters of Sunset 

Lake, Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. This 

special local regulation is necessary to 

provide for the safety of life on 

navigable waters during the event. This 

action will restrict vessel traffic in 

portions of Sunset Lake during the 

event. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 8:30 

a.m. on September 24, 2005 to 5:30 p.m. 

on September 25, 2005. 

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 CGD05–05–076 and are available 

for inspection of copying at Commander 

(oax), Fifth Coast Guard District, 431 

Crawford Street, Portsmouth, Virginia 

23704–5004, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

On July 27, 2005, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

entitled ‘‘Special Local Regulations for 

Marine Events; Sunset Lake, Wildwood 

Crest, NJ’’ in the Federal Register (70 FR 

43345). We received no letters 

commenting on the proposed rule. No 

public meeting 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. Delaying its effective date 

would be contrary to public interest, 

since immediate action is needed to 

protect event participants, spectator 

craft and other vessels transiting the 

event area from the dangers of highspeed power boat racing. Additionally, 

the parameters of the safety zone are 

limited to the race area, and the length 

of time this zone will be effective is 

limited to the times and dates of the 

event. 

Background and Purpose 

On September 24 and 25, 2005, the 

Sunset Lake Hydrofest Association will 

sponsor the ‘‘Sunset Lake Hydrofest’’, 

on the waters of Sunset Lake near 

Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. The event 

will consist of approximately 100 

inboard hydroplanes, Jersey Speed 

Skiffs and flat-bottom ski boats racing in 

heats counter-clockwise around an oval 

racecourse. A fleet of approximately 100 

spectator vessels is expected to gather 

nearby to view the competition. Due to 

the need for vessel control during the 

event, vessel traffic will be temporarily 

restricted to provide for the safety of 

participants, spectators and transiting 

vessels. 

Discussion of Comments and Changes 

No comments were received in 

response to the notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) published in the 

Federal Register. Accordingly, the Coast 

Guard is establishing temporary special 

local regulations on specified waters of 

Sunset Lake. Since no comments were 

received, no changes to this regulation 

were made. 

Regulatory Evaluation 

This rule is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, 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 Homeland Security 

(DHS). 

We expect the economic impact of 

this rule to be so minimal that a full 

Regulatory Evaluation under the 

regulatory policies and procedures of 

DHS is unnecessary. 

Although this regulation prevents 

traffic from transiting a portion of 

Sunset Lake during the event, the effect 

of this regulation would not be 

significant due to the limited duration 

that the regulated area will be in effect 

and the extensive advance notifications 

that will be made to the maritime 

community via the Local Notice to 

Mariners, marine information 

broadcasts, local radio stations and area 

newspapers, so mariners can adjust 

their plans accordingly. Additionally, 

56368 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 186 / Tuesday, September 27, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

the regulated area has been narrowly 

tailored to impose the least impact on 

general navigation yet provide the level 

of safety deemed necessary. Vessel 

traffic would be able to transit Sunset 

Lake by navigating around the regulated 

area. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this rule will 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. 

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. 

This rule affects the following entities, 

some of which might be small entities: 

The owners or operators of vessels 

intending to transit or anchor in a 

portion of Sunset Lake during the event. 

This rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities for the 

following reasons. This rule will be in 

effect for only a limited period. Vessel 

traffic could pass safely around the 

regulated area. Before the enforcement 

period, we will issue maritime 

advisories so mariners can adjust their 

plans accordingly. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

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

we offered to assist small entities in 

understanding the rule so that they 

could better evaluate its effects on them 

and participate in the rulemaking 

process. If the rule would affect your 

small business, organization, or 

governmental jurisdiction and you have 

questions concerning its provisions or 

options for compliance, please contact 

the address listed under ADDRESSES. 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. 

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 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on State or local governments and 

would either preempt State law or 

impose a substantial direct cost of 

compliance on them. We have analyzed 

this rule under that Order and have 

determined that it does not have 

implications for federalism. 

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. 

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 

will not create an environmental risk to 

health or risk to safety that might 

disproportionately affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it will 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. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. We determined 

that it is not a ‘‘significant energy 

action’’ under that order because 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. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guides the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded that there are no factors 

in this case that would limit the use of 

a categorical exclusion under section 

2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this 

rule is categorically excluded, under 

figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(h), of the 

Instruction, from further environmental 

documentation. Special local 

regulations issued in conjunction with a 

regatta or marine parade permit are 

specifically excluded from further 

analysis and documentation under that 

section. 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 186 / Tuesday, September 27, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 56369 

Under figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(h), 

of the Instruction, an ‘‘Environmental 

Analysis Check List’’ and a ‘‘Categorical 

Exclusion Determination’’ are not 

required for this rule.
