Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[COTP Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA 96–

008]

RIN 2115–AA97

Safety Zone; Long Beach Harbor, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule with request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing a temporary safety zone in

the navigable waters of the United

States in the vicinity of the South East

side of Pier ‘‘J’’ in the Long Beach Outer

Harbor, California. The event requiring

the establishment of this safety zone is

the Pier ‘‘J’’ breakwater construction

project. Duration of this project is

estimated to be 11 months. A safety

zone is necessary to safeguard

recreational and commercial craft from

the dangers of the construction project

and to prevent interference with the

vessels engaged in these operations. The

safety zone includes all waters within

the boundaries defined by the line

connecting the following coordinates:

Latitude Longitude

33° 44.5′N. 118° 11.2′W.

33° 44.5′N. 118° 10.9′W.

33° 44.3′N. 118° 10.8′W.

33° 44.0′N. 118° 10.8′W.

33° 44.0′N. 118° 11.1′W.

Entry into, transit through, or

anchoring within the safety zone by

vessels or persons other than those

engaged in the construction project, or

vessels servicing the Maersk terminal is

prohibited unless authorized by the

Captain of the Port.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is

effective at 12:01 a.m. PDT on April, 24,

1996 and will remain in effect until

12:01 a.m. PST on March 31, 1997,

unless cancelled earlier by the Captain

of the Port Los Angeles-Long Beach, Ca.

Comments: Comments on this

regulation must be received by June 17,

1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

mailed to Commanding Officer, Coast

Guard Marine Safety Office, 165 N. Pico

Avenue, Long Beach, Ca 90802.

Comments received will be available for

inspection and copying within the Port

Safety Division at MSO Los AngelesLong Beach. Normal office hours are

between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday

through Friday, except federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Chief Petty Officer Daniel J. Walsh, Port

Safety and Security Division, Marine

Safety Office Los Angeles-Long Beach,

(310) 980–4454.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

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

of proposed rulemaking was not

published for this regulation and good

cause exists for making it effective in

less than 30 days after Federal Register

publication. Following normal

rulemaking procedures could not be

done in a timely fashion in that the

Coast Guard was not approached

concerning the necessity for

implementation of a safety zone until

late in the planning process. The actual

stipulations of the safety zone were not

finalized until a date fewer than 30 days

prior to the start of the project.

Although this regulation is published

as a final rule without prior notice, an

opportunity for public comment is

nevertheless desirable to ensure the

regulation is both reasonable and

workable. Accordingly, persons wishing

to comment may do so by submitting

written comments to the office listed

under ADDRESSES in this preamble.

Those providing comments should

identify the docket number (COTP Los

Angeles-Long Beach, CA; 96–008) for

the regulation and also include their

name, address, and reason(s) for each

comment presented. Persons wanting

acknowledge of receipt of comments

should enclose a stamped, selfaddressed postcard or envelope.

Based upon the comments received,

the scope of the regulation may be

changed.

Discussion of Regulation

The project to construct a breakwater

around the Pier ‘‘J’’ Maersk terminal

entrance has already been initiated. A

safety zone is necessary to safeguard

recreational and commercial craft from

the dangers of the construction project

and to prevent interference with vessels

engaged in these operations. This safety

zone will be enforced by U.S. Coast

Guard personnel. The Coast Guard

Auxiliary and the Long Beach

Lifeguards will assist in the enforcement

of the safety zone. Persons and vessels

are prohibited from entering into,

transiting through, or anchoring within

the safety zone unless authorized by the

Captain of the Port of his designated

representative.

Regulatory Evaluation

This 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 (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

the Department of Transportation is

unnecessary. The safety zone does not

extend into the vessel traffic lanes. It

will have little or no impact on

commercial vessels transiting through

the harbor.

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 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). As discussed in the

‘‘Regulatory Evaluation’’ section,

because it 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
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 97 / Friday, May 17, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 24893

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et. seq.).

Federalism

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

regulation under the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612, and has determined that this rule

does not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

Environmental Assessment

The Coast Guard has considered the

environmental impact of this regulation

and concluded that under section 2.B.2.

of Commandant Instruction M16475.1B

it will have no significant

environmental impact and it is

categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

Federal Register of October 25, 1995,

(60 FR 54689), EPA issued a notice that

Champon 100% Natural Products, Inc.,

had submitted pesticide petition (PP)

5F4445 to EPA proposing to amend 40

CFR part 180 by establishing a

regulation pursuant to section 408 of the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

(FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), ‘‘... to

establish an exemption from the

requirement of a tolerance for allyl

isothiocyanate (a component of oil of

mustard) in or on all fruits and

vegetables, nuts, berries, and grains.’’

There were no public comments

received as a result of the publication of

the notice of filing.

Allyl isothiocyanate, the subject of

this exemption request, is a component

of Oil of Mustard. The Agency has

registered this active ingredient as a dog

or cat repellent since 1962. Then, in

1991, the Agency registered three

products as an insecticide and repellent

to Champon 100% Natural Products for

non-food/non-feed uses. This exemption

request expands the use of this active

ingredient for food/feed uses.

The Agency has evaluated the data

and other relevant material submitted

with the petition or obtained from other

sources. These data and material show

that:

1. Allyl isothiocyanate, as a

component of oil of mustard, is on the

Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)

list (21 CFR 182.10, 182.20, 582.10 and

582.20).
