Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 6, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 5333 

Executive Order 12866 and is not 

expected to have a significant adverse 

effect on the supply, distribution, or use 

of energy, a Statement of Energy Effects 

is not required. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

This rule does not require an 

environmental impact statement 

because agency decisions on proposed 

State and Tribal abandoned mine land 

reclamation plans and plan 

amendments are categorically excluded 

from compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4332) by the Manual of the Department 

of the Interior (516 DM 13.5 (B)(29)). 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not contain 

information collection requirements that 

require approval by OMB under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3507 et seq.). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Department of the Interior 

certifies that this rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The State submittal, 

which is the subject of this rule, is based 

upon counterpart Federal regulations for 

which an economic analysis was 

prepared and certification made that 

such regulations would not have a 

significant economic effect upon a 

substantial number of small entities. In 

making the determination as to whether 

this rule would have a significant 

economic impact, the Department relied 

upon the data and assumptions for the 

counterpart Federal regulations. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act 

This rule is not a major rule under 5 

U.S.C. 804(2), the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. 

This rule: (a) Does not have an annual 

effect on the economy of $100 million; 

(b) Will not cause a major increase in 

costs or prices for consumers, 

individual industries, Federal, State, or 

local government agencies, or 

geographic regions; and (c) Does not 

have significant adverse effects on 

competition, employment, investment, 

productivity, innovation, or the ability 

of U.S.-based enterprises to compete 

with foreign-based enterprises. This 

determination is based upon the fact 

that the State submittal, which is the 

subject of this rule, is based upon 

counterpart Federal regulations for 

which an analysis was prepared and a 

determination made that the Federal 

regulation was not considered a major 

rule. 

Unfunded Mandates 

This rule will not impose an 

unfunded mandate on State, local, or 

tribal governments or the private sector 

of $100 million or more in any given 

year. This determination is based upon 

the fact that the State submittal, which 

is the subject of this rule, is based upon 

counterpart Federal regulations for 

which an analysis was prepared and a 

determination made that the Federal 

regulations did not impose an unfunded 

mandate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast 

Guard District Commanders and 

Captains of the Port (COTP) must be 

immediately responsive to the safety 

and security needs within their 

jurisdiction; therefore, District 

Commanders and COTPs have been 

delegated the authority to issue certain 

local regulations. Safety zones may be 

established for safety or environmental 

purposes. A safety zone may be

5334 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 6, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

stationary and described by fixed limits 

or it may be described as a zone around 

a vessel in motion. Security zones limit 

access to prevent injury or damage to 

vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities 

and may also describe a zone around a 

vessel in motion. Special local 

regulations are issued to enhance the 

safety of participants and spectators at 

regattas and other marine events. 

Drawbridge operation regulations 

authorize changes to drawbridge 

schedules to accommodate bridge 

repairs, seasonal vessel traffic, and local 

public events. Timely publication of 

these rules in the Federal Register is 

often precluded when a rule responds to 

an emergency, or when an event occurs 

without sufficient advance notice. The 

affected public is, however, informed of 

these rules through Local Notices to 

Mariners, press releases, and other 

means. Moreover, actual notification is 

provided by Coast Guard patrol vessels 

enforcing the restrictions imposed by 

the rule. Because Federal Register 

publication was not possible before the 

beginning of the effective period, 

mariners were personally notified of the 

contents of these special local 

regulations, drawbridge operation 

regulations, security zones, and safety 

zones by Coast Guard officials on-scene 

prior to any enforcement action. 

However, the Coast Guard, by law, must 

publish in the Federal Register notice of 

substantive rules adopted. To meet this 

obligation without imposing undue 

expense on the public, the Coast Guard 

periodically publishes a list of these 

temporary special local regulations, 

security zones, safety zones and 

drawbridge operation regulations. 

Permanent rules are not included in this 

list because they are published in their 

entirety in the Federal Register. 

Temporary rules are also published in 

their entirety if sufficient time is 

available to do so before they are placed 

in effect or terminated. The safety zones, 

special local regulations, security zones 

and drawbridge operation regulations 

listed in this notice have been exempted 

from review under Executive Order 

12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, 

because of their emergency nature, or 

limited scope and temporary 

effectiveness. 

The following rules were placed in 

effect temporarily during the period 

from January 1, 2006 through September 

30, 2006 unless otherwise indicated. 

Dated: December 19, 2006. 

S.G. Venckus, 

Chief, Office of Regulations and 

Administrative Law.
