18008 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 68 / Monday, April 10, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

Committee in balancing the operational

needs of the boatyards with the needs of

the City and other modes of

transportation.

The District Commander has

authorized the temporary deviation to

commence on April 15, 1995, and

remain in effect for a period of ninety

(90) days. This deviation will require

that the City open their bridges for the

passage of recreational vessels on

Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to

7 p.m., on Tuesdays and Thursdays

from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and on

Tuesday and Thursday evenings from

6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. All openings

require twenty-four hour advance notice

of intended passage be given to the City.

The bridges subject to this deviation

need not open for the passage of any

vessels from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4

p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Mondays through

Fridays. The Coast Guard anticipates

that the boatyard owners and boaters

will coordinate the movement of vessels

from the boatyards to Lake Michigan

and, to the extent practicable, arrange

for the vessels to move in flotillas so as

to minimize the number of bridge

openings required. No requirement for

minimum flotilla size will be imposed,

however past experience indicates that

an upper target of approximately 25

vessels is appropriate and will be

enforced. This deviation will facilitate

data gathering and scheduling and will

support safety while addressing

concerns of all parties during the Spring

period when most recreational vessels

traditionally return to Lake Michigan

from winter storage at the Chicago River

boat yards. The temporary deviation

from the operating requirements at 33

CFR 117.391 governing bridges owned

by the City of Chicago over the Chicago

River will read as follows:

The bridges affected by this deviation

are listed below:

Main branch South branch North branch

This deviation from normal operating

regulations is authorized in accordance

with the provisions of title 33 of the

Code of Federal Regulations, § 117.43,

and applies only to the passage of

recreational vessels. Under this

deviation the bridges listed above

operated by the City of Chicago shall

operate as follows:

(a) The bridges covered by this

deviation need not open for the passage

of vessels Mondays through Fridays

from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to

6:30 p.m.

(b) On Saturdays and Sundays the

draws shall open on signal between the

hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

(c) On Tuesdays and Thursdays the

draws shall open on signal between the

hours of 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

(d) On Tuesdays and Thursdays the

draws shall open on signal between the

hours of 6:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.

(e) Except for emergencies, all

openings require that 24 hours advance

notice of intended passage be given to

the City.

(f) Not more than 25 vessels shall pass

through the bridges during one opening.

(g) This period of deviation is

effective from April 15, 1995 through

July 13, 1995.

Dated: April 5, 1995.

Safety Zone: Transatlantic

Reinsurance Co. Fireworks, Upper New

York Bay, NY and NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing a temporary safety zone for

a fireworks program located in Federal

Anchorage 20C in Upper New York Bay,

New York. This safety zone will be in

effect on May 9, 1995, from 8:45 p.m.

until 10 p.m., unless extended or

terminated sooner by the Captain of the

Port, New York. The safety zone will

temporarily close all waters of the

Upper New York Bay, within a 300 yard

radius of the fireworks platform

anchored approximately 300 yards east

of Liberty Island, New York.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on

May 9, 1995, from 8:45 p.m. until 10

p.m., unless extended or terminated

sooner by the Captain of the Port, New

York.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Drafting Information

Messenger, Project Manager, Coast

Guard Group New York and LCDR J.

Stieb, Project Attorney, First Coast

Guard District, Legal Office.

Regulatory History

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, a notice of

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was not

published for this regulation and good

cause exists for not publishing an

NPRM. Due to the date this application

was received, there was insufficient

time to draft and publish a notice of

proposed rulemaking that allows for a

reasonable comment period prior to the

event. The delay encountered if normal

rulemaking procedures were followed

would effectively cancel this event.

Cancellation of this event is contrary to

public interest.

Background and Purpose

On March 17, 1995, Fireworks by

Grucci submitted an application to hold

a fireworks program in the waters of

Upper New York Bay, off of Liberty

Island, New York. This regulation

establishes a temporary safety zone in

all waters of the Upper New York Bay

within a 300 yard radius of the

fireworks platform anchored

approximately 300 yards east of Liberty

Island, New York, at or near 40°41′17′′N

latitude, 074°02′25′′W longitude. The

safety zone will be in effect on May 9,

1995 from 8:45 p.m. until 10 p.m.,

unless extended or terminated sooner by

the Captain of the Port, New York.

This safety zone precludes all vessels

from transiting this portion of the Upper

New York Bay and is needed to protect
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 68 / Monday, April 10, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 18009

mariners from the hazards associated

with fireworks exploding in the area.

Regulatory Evaluation

This regulation 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

regulation to be so minimal that a full

Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph

10(e) of the regulatory policies and

procedures of DOT is unnecessary. This

safety zone closes a portion of the Upper

New York Bay to all vessel traffic on

May 9, 1995, from 8:45 p.m. until 10

p.m., unless extended or terminated

sooner by the Captain of the Port, New

York. Although this regulation prevents

traffic from transiting this area, the

effect of this regulation will not be

significant for several reasons. Due to

the fact that this safety zone will not

impact any navigable channel; that the

duration of the event is limited; that the

event is at a late hour; and that

extensive, advance advisories will be

made to the maritime community, the

impact of this regulation is expected to

be so minimal that a Regulatory

Evaluation is unnecessary.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

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

must consider whether this regulation

will have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small

entities. ‘‘Small entities’’ include

independently owned and operated

small businesses that are no 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).

For the reasons given in the

Regulatory Evaluation, the Coast Guard

expects the impact of this regulation to

be minimal. The Coast Guard certifies

under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this

regulation will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.

Collection of Information

This regulation contains no collection

of information requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501).

Federalism

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

action in accordance with the principles

and criteria contained in Executive

Order 12612 and has determined that

this regulation does not raise sufficient

federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Environment

The Coast Guard has considered the

environmental impact of this regulation

and concluded that under section

2.B.2.e. of Commandant Instruction

M16475.13, revised 59 FR 38654, July

29, 1994, the promulgation of this

regulation is categorically excluded

from further environmental

documentation. A Categorical Exclusion

Determination and Environmental

Analysis Checklist are included in the

docket. An appropriate environmental

analysis of the fireworks program will

be conducted in conjunction with the

marine event permitting process.
