The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

amend the Class E airspace area at

Milledgeville, GA. A LOC RWY 28 SIAP

has been developed for Baldwin County

Airport. Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL is

needed to accommodate this SIAP and

for IFR operations at the airport.

Designations for Class E airspace

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface are published in

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B

dated July 18, 1994 and effective

September 16, 1994, which is

incorporated by reference in CFR 71.1.

The Class E airspace designation listed

in this document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current. It,

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant

preparation of a regulatory evaluation as

the anticipated impact is so minimal.

Since this is a routine matter that will

only affect air traffic procedures and air

navigation, it is certified that this rule,

when promulgated, will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria for the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Anchorage Grounds; Pacific Ocean at

Santa Catalina Island, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to

reduce the Isthmus Cove Anchorage

Grounds off Santa Catalina Island, CA to

exclude the area designated as the

Wrigley Marine Science Center Marine

Life Refuge, formerly known as the

Catalina Marine Science Center Marine

Life Refuge, from the Isthmus Cove

Anchorage Grounds. The Coast Guard

proposes to voluntarily reduce the

geographic limits of the Anchorage

Grounds at the suggestion of the State of

California. In establishing the Marine

Life Refuge, California has prohibited

unauthorized anchoring in the affected

area under state law. In order to reduce

confusion among recreational and

commercial mariners, and in order to

enhance the safety of navigation in

support of the efforts of the State of

California, the Coast Guard proposes to

exclude the area encompassed by the

Marine Life Refuge from the Anchorage

Grounds.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before April 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Commander (oan), Eleventh Coast

Guard District, 501 W. Ocean Blvd.,

Suite 6200, Long Beach, CA 90822–

5399, Attn: CGD11–95–001, or may be

delivered to the same address between

8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through

Friday, except Federal holidays.

Drafting Information

The principal persons involved in

drafting this document are Lieutenant

P.C. Barnett, Eleventh Coast Guard

District, Aids to Navigation and

Waterways Management Branch, Project

Officer, and Lieutenant R.J. Barber,

Eleventh Coast Guard District Legal

Office, Project Attorney.

Background and Purpose

The Isthmus Cove Anchorage

Grounds (the Anchorage) were codified

by final rulemaking CGFR 67–46,

published in 32 FR 17728 (December 12,

1967). The Wrigley Marine Science

Center (the Center) was built during that

same year. The Center’s primary

function was and continues to be to

provide an environment that facilitates

scientific investigation. It was

intentionally located in close proximity

to a virtually undisturbed marine

environment to allow researchers the

opportunity to conduct long-term

underwater investigations of sea life

under conditions where human

influences are minimal.

In 1988, the state of California

established the Wrigley Marine Science

Center Marine Life Refuge (the Refuge),

formerly known as the Catalina Marine

Science Center Marine Life Refuge, near

the Center. A portion of the waters of

the Refuge is located within the waters

of the Anchorage.

In order to protect and preserve the

delicate ecosystem of the Refuge and to

prevent damage caused by anchors to

the valuable scientific equipment being

used to conduct research within the

Refugee, the state of California, as part

of the original legislation establishing

the Refuge, prohibits unauthorized

anchoring and mooring within the

Refuge.

Discussion of Proposed Regulations

The proposed amendment to the

Isthmus Cove Anchorage Grounds

regulation seeks to reduce the size of the

Anchorage by removing from it the

waters located in Fisherman Cove and

those waters shoreward from a line

extending approximately 50 yards from

shore connecting Blue Cavern Point to

Fisherman Cove. In order to reduce

confusion among recreational and

commercial mariners, and in order to

enhance the safety of navigation in

support of the efforts of the State of

California, the Coast Guard proposes to

exclude the area encompassed by the

Marine Life Refuge from the Anchorage

Grounds.

The proposed amendment to the

regulation also describes the Anchorage

more accurately by using coordinates in

addition to making reference to wellknown landmarks.

Regulatory Evaluation

This proposal 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. It has been exempted from

review by the Office of Management and

Budget under that Order. It is not

significant under the regulatory policies

and procedures of the Department of

Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040;

February 1979). The Coast Guard

expects the economic impact of this

proposal to be so minimal that a full

Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph

10e of the Department of Transportation

regulatory policies and procedures is

unnecessary.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Coast Guard

must consider whether this proposal

would have significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small

entities. ‘‘Small entities’’ include

independently owned and operated

small businesses that are not dominant

in their field and that otherwise qualify

as ‘‘small business concerns’’ under

section 3 of the Small Business Act (15

U.S.C. 632). Because it expects the

impact of this proposal to be minimal,

the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.

605(b) that this proposal, if adopted,

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities.

Collection of Information

This proposal contains no collection

of information requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.).

Federalism

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

proposal in accordance with the

principles and criteria contained in

Executive Order 12612 and has

determined that this proposal does not

have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a

Federalism Assessment.

Environmental Assessment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this proposal

and concluded that, under section 2.B.2

of Commandant Instruction M16475.1B,

this proposal is categorically excluded

from further environmental

documentation.

Proposed Regulations

For the reasons set out in the

preamble, the Coast Guard proposes to

amend Part 110 of Title 33, Code of

Federal Regulations, as follows:

PART 110—ANCHORAGE

REGULATIONS

1. The authority citation for Part 110

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 471, 2030, 2035 and

2071; 49 CFR 1.46 and 33 CFR 1.05–1(g).

Section 110.1a and each section listed in

110.1a is also issued under 33 U.S.C. 1223

and 1231.

2. Section 110.216 is amended by

revising paragraph (a)(2) to read as

follows:

§ 110.216 Pacific Ocean at Santa Catalina

Island, CA

(a) * * *

(2) Isthmus Cove. All the waters

bounded by a line connecting the

following coordinates, beginning at 33°–

27′–12′′ N, 118°–30′–05′′ W (the

promontory known as Lion Head);

thence southeast to 33°–26′–55.5′′ N,

118°–28′–44′′ W; thence west-southwest

to 33°–26′–50′′ N, 118°–29′–08′′ W;

thence southwest to 33°–26′–39′′ N,

118°–29′–19′′ W; thence along the

shoreline returning to the point of

origin, excluding the followingdescribed non-anchorage area: an area

300 feet wide (170 feet west and 130 feet

east of the centerline of the Catalina

Island Steamship Line pier), extending

1600 feet from the root of the pier, and

an area 150 feet seaward of the shoreline

extending approximately 1500 feet east

and 1500 feet northwest of the

centerline of said pier.
