SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

On April 14, 2010, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

entitled Safety Zones; Annual Fireworks 

Events in the Captain of the port Detroit 

Zone in the Federal Register (75 FR 

19304). We received zero comments 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 this rule would be 

contrary to the public interest of 

ensuring the safety of spectators and 

vessels during this operation and 

immediate action is necessary to 

prevent possible loss of life or property 

from the dangers that are associated 

with fireworks displays. 

Basis and Purpose 

This rule adds additional events not 

previously published in 33 CFR 

165.941, Safety Zones; Annual 

Fireworks Events in the Captain of the 

Port Detroit Zone. These additional 

safety zones are necessary to protect 

vessels and spectators from the hazards 

associated with fireworks displays. 

Such hazards include obstructions to 

the waterway that may cause marine 

casualties, the explosive danger of 

fireworks and debris falling into the 

water that may cause death or serious 

bodily harm. 

Discussion of Comments and Changes 

We received zero comments regarding 

the proposed rule. There are no 

substantive changes to the rule as 

proposed by the NPRM published on 

April 14, 2010. 

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. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this rule to be so minimal that a full 

Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. 

This determination is based on the 

minimal time that vessels will be 

restricted from the zones and the zones 

are in areas where the Coast Guard 

expects insignificant adverse impact to 

mariners from the zones’ activation. 

The Coast Guard’s use of these safety 

zones will be periodic, of short 

duration, and designed to minimize the 

impact on navigable waters. These 

safety zones will only be enforced 

immediately before, during, and after 

the time the events occur. Furthermore, 

these safety zones have been designed to 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 9, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 32667 

allow vessels to transit unrestricted to 

portions of the waterways not affected 

by the safety zones. 

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 will affect the following 

entities, some of which might be small 

entities: The owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit or anchor in 

the areas designated as safety zones in 

subparagraphs (50) through (56) during 

the dates and times the safety zones are 

being enforced. 

These safety zones will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities for 

the following reasons: This rule would 

be in effect for short periods of time, 

and only once per year, per zone. The 

safety zones have been designed to 

allow traffic to pass safely around the 

zone whenever possible and vessels will 

be allowed to pass through the zones 

with the permission of the Captain of 

the Port. 

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 

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). We received zero comments 

regarding the proposed rule. 

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. We received 

zero comments regarding the proposed 

rule. 

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 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this rule 

will not result in such expenditure, we 

do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. We received 

zero comments regarding the proposed 

rule. 

Taking of Private Property 

This rule will not cause a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. We received 

zero comments regarding the proposed 

rule. 

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. We 

received zero comments regarding the 

proposed rule. 

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. 

We received zero comments regarding 

the proposed rule. 

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. We 

received zero comments regarding the 

proposed rule. 

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. We 

received zero comments regarding the 

proposed rule. 

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. We received zero comments 

regarding the proposed rule. 

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

have concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

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

involves the establishment of safety 

zones. An environmental analysis 

checklist and a categorical exclusion 

determination are available in the

Copayments for Medications 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This document affirms as 

final an interim final rule that froze 

through June 30, 2010, the copayment 

required by Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) regulations for certain 

outpatient medications. Under those 

regulations, the copayment amount 

must be increased based on the 

prescription drug component of the 

Medical Consumer Price Index (CPI–P), 

and the maximum annual copayment 

amount must be increased when the 

copayment is increased.

veterans to pay a $2 copayment for each 

30-day supply of medication furnished 

on an outpatient basis for the treatment 

of a nonservice-connected disability or 

condition. Under 38 U.S.C. 1722A(b), 

VA ‘‘may,’’ by regulation, increase that 

copayment and establish a maximum 

annual copayment (a ‘‘cap’’). We have 

interpreted section 1722A(b) to mean 

that VA has discretion to determine the 

appropriate copayment amount and 

annual cap amount for medication
