they would be at a competitive 

disadvantage. 

C. Amendment to Definition of Money 

Market Deposit Accounts 

In accord with the FRB amendment to 

Regulation D and the FDIC’s 

amendment to its definition of ‘‘demand 

deposit,’’ OTS is amending its definition 

of Money Market Deposit Accounts in 

section 561.28 to eliminate the three 

transfer sublimit. This will be done by 

eliminating the proviso in subsection 

561.28(a)(2)(i), which currently reads as 

follows: ‘‘Provided, that no more than 

three of the six transfers provided for in 

this paragraph (a)(2)(i) may be by check, 

draft, debit card, or similar order made 

by the depositor and payable to a third 

parties.’’ 

II. Exemption From Public Notice and 

Comment 

To issue a final rule without public 

notice and comment, an agency must 

find good cause that notice and 

comment are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. 5 U.S.C. 553(b) Similarly, to 

issue a rule that is immediately 

effective, the agency must find good 

cause for dispensing with the 30-day 

delay required by the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA). 

OTS regulations require that the 

FRB’s Regulation D apply to OTS’s 

definition of various savings accounts. 

To achieve consistency among the 

agencies and to further the intent of 

OTS’s regulation at 12 CFR 557.10, OTS 

has decided to eliminate the three 

transfer sublimit for savings associations 

in the same way that the FRB has done 

for member banks and that the FDIC has 

done for banks under its jurisdiction. 

For this reason, OTS has determined for 

good cause that public notice and 

comment is unnecessary under the 

APA, and that the rule should be 

published in the Federal Register as a 

final rule. 

III. Effective Date 

For the same reasons OTS has 

determined that public notice and 

comment is unnecessary for good cause, 

OTS also finds good cause to adopt an 

effective date that would be less than 30 

days after the publication in the Federal 

Register pursuant to the APA. 5 U.S.C. 

553(d) Accordingly, the amendment to 

section 561.28 will be effective as of the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register. 

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

An initial regulatory flexibility 

analysis under the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) is required only 

when an agency must publish a general 

notice of proposed rulemaking. 5 U.S.C. 

603. As already noted, OTS has 

determined that publication of a notice 

of proposed rulemaking is not necessary 

for this final rule. Accordingly, the RFA 

does not require an initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis. Nevertheless, OTS 

has considered the likely impact of the 

rule on small entities and believes that 

the rule will not have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

V. Executive Order 12866 

OTS has determined that this final 

rule does not constitute a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ for purposes of 

Executive Order 12866. 

VI. Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 

Section 202 of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995, Public 

Law 104–4 (UMRA) requires that an 

agency prepare a budgetary impact 

statement before promulgating a rule 

that includes a Federal mandate that 

may result in the expenditure by state, 

local, and tribal governments, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100 million or more (adjusted annually 

for inflation) in any one year. If a 

budgetary impact statement is required, 

section 205 of the UMRA also requires 

an agency to identify and consider a 

reasonable number of regulatory 

alternatives before promulgating a rule. 

The OTS has determined that the rule 

will not result in expenditures by state, 

local, and tribal governments, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more. 

Accordingly, OTS has not prepared a 

budgetary impact statement or 

specifically addressed the regulatory 

alternatives considered. 

VII. Paperwork Reduction Act 

No collection of information pursuant 

to section 3504(h) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.) is contained in this final rule. 

Consequently, no information has been 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget for review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

On April 5, 2010, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

entitled Special Local Regulation for 

Marine Event; Temporary Change of 

Dates for Recurring Marine Event in the 

Fifth Coast Guard District in the Federal 

Register (75 FR 17099). We received no 

comments on the proposed rule. No 

public meeting was requested, and none 

was held. 

Background and Purpose 

Marine events are frequently held on 

the navigable waters within the 

boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard 

District. The on water activities that 

typically comprise marine events 

include sailing regattas, power boat 

races, swim races and holiday parades. 

For a description of the geographical 

area of each Coast Guard Sector— 

Captain of the Port Zone, please see 33 

CFR 3.25. 

This regulation temporarily changes 

the enforcement period of special local 

regulations for a recurring marine event 

within the Fifth Coast Guard District. 

This regulation applies to one marine 

event in 33 CFR 100.501, Table to 

§ 100.501. 

On July 9, 10, and 11, 2010, the City 

of Hampton and The Virginia Air and 

Space Museum will sponsor the ‘‘11th 

Hampton Blackbeard Festival,’’ a 

historic festival on the waters of the 

Hampton River near Hampton, Virginia. 

The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is 

effective annually for this marine event. 

The event will consist of three replica 

pirate ships conducting a simulated 

wartime demonstration on July 10, 2010 

from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and July 11, 

2010 from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the 

Hampton River in the vicinity of Mill 

Point Park, Hampton, Virginia. The 

event will also consist of a fireworks 

display on July 10, 2010 from 9 p.m. to 

10 p.m. over the Hampton River in the 

vicinity of Mill Point Park, Hampton, 

Virginia. A fleet of spectator vessels is 

expected to gather near the event site to 

view the simulated wartime 

demonstration and fireworks display. 

To provide for the safety of participants, 

spectators, support and transiting 

vessels, the Coast Guard temporarily 

restricts vessel traffic in the event area 

during the demonstration and fireworks 

display. The regulation at 33 CFR 

100.501 would be enforced for the 

duration of the event. Under provisions 

of 33 CFR 100.501, from 11:30 a.m. to 

2:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 

10, 2010, and from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 

p.m. on July 11, 2010, vessels may not 

enter the regulated area unless they 

receive permission from the Coast 

Guard Patrol Commander. 

Discussion of Comments and Changes 

The Coast Guard did not receive 

comments 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 the Hampton River, 

near Hampton, Virginia. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

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. 

Although this rule prevents traffic 

from transiting a portion of the 

Hampton River during specified events, 

the effect of this regulation will 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 marine information 

broadcasts, local radio stations and area 

newspapers so mariners can adjust their 

plans accordingly. Additionally, this 

rulemaking does not change the 

permanent regulated areas that have 

been published in 33 CFR 100.501, 

Table to § 100.501. In some cases vessel 

traffic may be able to transit the 

regulated area when the Coast Guard 

Patrol Commander deems it is safe to do 

so. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have 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. 

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 would affect the following 

entities, some of which might be small 

entities: the owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit or anchor in 

the Hampton River where marine events 

are being held. This regulation will not 

have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

because it will be enforced only during 

marine events that have been permitted 

by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port. 

The Captain of the Port will ensure that 

small entities are able to operate in the 

areas where events are occurring when 

it is safe to do so. In some cases, vessels 

will be able to safely transit around the 

regulated area at various times, and, 

with the permission of the Patrol 

Commander, vessels may transit 

through the regulated area. Before the 

enforcement period, the Coast Guard 

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), 

in the NPRM 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. 

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 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with RULES_PART 1

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). 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. 

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 affect 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 create 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, 

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. 

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 

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 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions which do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(h), of the Instruction. This rule 

involves implementation of regulations 

within 33 CFR Part 100 that apply to 

organized marine events on the 

navigable waters of the United States 

that may have potential for negative 

impact on the safety or other interest of 

waterway users and shore side activities 

in the event area. The category of water 

activities includes but is not limited to 

sail boat regattas, boat parades, power 

boat racing, swimming events, crew 

racing, and sail board racing. 

Under figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(h), 

of the Instruction, an environmental 

analysis checklist and a categorical 

exclusion determination are not 

required for this rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Louisiana Department of Transportation 

and Development has requested a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule of the swing span bridge 

across Teche Bayou at mile 56.7 in 

Morbihan, Iberia Parish, Louisiana. The 

closure is necessary in order to 

rehabilitate machinery parts on the 

bridge. The work will require the bridge 

to be jacked up and taken out of service. 

This maintenance is essential for the 

continued operation of the bridge. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 

117.501(a)(18), the swing span of the 

bridge shall open on signal if at least 4 

hours notice is given. This deviation 

allows the swing span of the bridge to 

remain closed to navigation for three 

consecutive weeks between 6:30 a.m. 

Monday, June 21 and 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, 

August 3, 2010. Uncontrollable 

variables such as material supply delays 

and inclement weather make it difficult 

to predict the exact dates that work can 

be conducted. Thus, the exact dates for 

the closure cannot be firmly scheduled. 

Notices will be published in the Eighth 

Coast Guard District Local Notice to 

Mariners and will be broadcast via the 

Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners System as soon as information 

pertaining to the exact closure dates 

becomes available. The Coast Guard will 

coordinate the closure with the 

commercial users of the waterway as 

exact closure dates are known. 

The vertical clearance of the swing 

span bridge in the closed-to-navigation 

position is 6.12 feet above Mean high 

Water Elevation 5.7 feet Mean Sea 

Level. Navigation on the waterway 

consists of tugs with tows, ship 

fabricator’s commissioned vessels, crew 

boats and oil field support/service 

vessels. The bridge opens for the 

passage of navigation an average of 26 

times per month. There are no alternate 

waterway routes available. Due to prior 

experience and coordination with 

waterway users, it has been determined 

that this closure will not have a 

significant effect on these vessels. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the designated time period. This 

deviation from the operating regulations 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
