Anchorage Regulations Anchorage 7

off Marcus Hook; Delaware River,

Southeast Side of the Channel Along

Marcus Hook Range

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule amends the

boundaries of Anchorage 7 off Marcus

Hook on the southeast side of the

channel along the Marcus Hook Range

of the Delaware River. It corrects the

published coordinates to reflect those

coordinates of the Army Corps of

Engineers maintained anchorage, and

clearly designates an area large enough

to accommodate modern, large vessels

requiring examination by public health,

customs or immigration authorities.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 27, 1995.

Drafting Information

The drafters of this notice are LCDR

Tom Flynn, project officer, Aids to

Navigation and Waterways Management

Branch, Fifth Coast Guard District and

LT Andy Norris, project attorney, Fifth

Coast Guard District Legal Staff.

Regulatory History

On November 8, 1994, the Coast

Guard published a notice of proposed

rulemaking entitled Anchorage

Regulations; Anchorage Grounds:

Anchorage 7 off Marcus Hook; Delaware

River, Southeast Side of the Channel

Along Marcus Hook Range in the

Federal Register (59 FR 55598). The

comment period expired on January 9,

1995. The Coast Guard received no

letters commenting on the proposal. A

public hearing was not requested and

one was not held.

Background and Purpose

Section 7 of the Act of March 4, 1915,

as amended (33 U.S.C. 471), authorizes

the establishment of anchorage grounds

for vessels in the navigable waters of the

United States whenever it is apparent

that such grounds are required by the

maritime or commercial interests of the

United States for safe navigation. A

Coast Guard initiated Waterways

Analysis and Management System

Study (WAMS) of the Delaware River,

conducted in 1989, determined that a

discrepancy existed between the charted

anchorage, the Army Corps of Engineers

maintained anchorage, and the

anchorage coordinates published in 33

CFR 110.157(a)(8). WAMS was

developed to serve as the basis for a

systematic analysis and management of

the aids to navigation in our nation’s

waterways. WAMS is intended to

identify the navigational needs of the

users of a particular waterway, the

present adequacy of the aids system in

terms of those needs, and what is

required in those cases where the users’

needs are not being met. The WAMS

process also looks into the resources—

physical, financial, and personnel—

needed to carry out the Aids to

Navigation program responsibilities.

The analyses of each waterway and the

attendant resources are then integrated

to provide documentation for both day

to day management and future planning

within the Aids to Navigation program.

Anchorage 7, off Marcus Hook, as

defined in 33 CFR 110.157(a)(8), does

not correctly delineate the anchorage as

currently maintained by the Army Corps

of Engineers nor as charted by the

National Ocean Service. The

preferential area in this anchorage

designated for the use of vessels

awaiting quarantine inspection is

vaguely defined and may not provide

adequate room for modern, large

vessels. This rule will correct those

discrepancies.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

No comments were received

concerning the notice of proposed

rulemaking. There are no substantive

differences between the proposed rule

and this final rule.

Regulatory Evaluation

This final rule 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 26, 1979). The Coast Guard

expects the economic impact of this
10020 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 36 / Thursday, February 23, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

final rule to be so minimal that a full

Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph

10e of the regulatory policies and

procedures of DOT is unnecessary. The

basis for this finding is that Anchorage

7 is already being utilized within the

boundaries set forth in this final rule.

Small Entities

Under 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., known as

the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Coast

Guard must consider whether this final

rule will have a 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). Since the impact of this

final rule is expected to be minimal, the

Coast Guard will certify under 5 U.S.C.

605(b), that this final rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

Collection of Information

This final rule contains no collection

of information requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.).

Federalism

This final rule has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612, and it is anticipated that this

final rulemaking will not raise sufficient

federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Environment

This final rulemaking has been

thoroughly reviewed by the Coast Guard

and determined to be categorically

excluded from further environmental

documentation in accordance with

section 2.B.2.e of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1B. It has been

determined that a Categorical Exclusion

Determination statement is not required

(see 59 FR 38654, July 29, 1994).

33 CFR Part 162

[CGD09–95–006]

Temporary Speed Limits for the St.

Marys River

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is making a

temporary amendment to the speed

limits for the St. Marys River during the

1994–95 icebreaking season. This

amendment reduces the speed limit by

2 miles per hour through that part of the

system, between Munuscong Lake

Lighted Buoy 8 (LLNR 13065) and Lake

Nicolet Light 80 (LLNR 13465) upbound

and between Lake Nicolet Light 80

(LLNR 13465) and West Neebish

Channel Light 9 (LLNR 13715)

downbound. These temporary changes

to the speed regulations are a

precautionary measure to minimize any

possible damage to the environment due

to movement of large commercial

vessels through the ice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This regulation is

effective from February 9, 1995, through

April 15, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lieutenant Scott J. Smith, Ninth Coast

Guard District, Aids to Navigation and

Waterways Management Branch, 1240

East 9th Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44199–

2060, (216) 522–3990 or Ensign William

B. Morgan, Group Sault Ste. Marie, 337

Water St., Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783,

(906) 635–3303.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a Notice

of Proposed Rulemaking has not been

published for this regulation and good

cause exists for making it effective in

less than 30 days from the date of

publication. Publication of a notice of

proposed rulemaking and delay in the

effective date would be contrary to the

public interest because immediate

action is necessary to prevent possible

damage to the environment.

Additionally, the Coast Guard issued

this temporary rule for the 1993–94

icebreaking season and no comments

were received. Therefore, nothing

would apparently be gained by prepublication.

Discussion of Proposed Regulations

In a letter received on February 26,

1993, the Michigan Department of

Natural Resources advised the

Commander of the Ninth Coast Guard

District of concerns over the

environmental impact of ship transits

through the St. Marys River during the

period of March 21 to April 1. March 25

is the fixed date for the opening of the

locks at Sault St. Marie, which allows

large commercial shipping access to the

St. Marys River from Lake Superior. In

accordance with an agreement reached

on June 29, 1993, with the U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service and the Michigan

Department of Natural Resources, the

Coast Guard is making this temporary

change to the speed regulations during

periods when icebreaking is being

conducted in the vicinity of Neebish

Island, St. Mary’s River, Michigan, as a

precautionary measure to minimize any

possible damage to the environment.

The speed limit is being reduced by 2

statute miles per hour in the area

between Munuscong Lake Lighted Buoy

8 (LLNR 13065) and Lake Nicolet Light

80 (LLNR 13465), upbound, and
