Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 100

[CGD01–96–017]

RIN 2115–AE46

Special Local Regulation; Quonset

Open House, North Kingstown, RI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing a temporary special local

regulation for an airshow known as the

Quonset Open House. The Quonset

Open House will be held on June 1 and

2, 1996, off Quonset Point, North

Kingstown, RI. This regulation is

needed to protect the boating public

from the hazards associated with low

flying aircraft in the vicinity of the

airstrip.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on

June 1 and 2, 1996, from 9 a.m. to 4:30

p.m.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Benjamin M.

Algeo, Chief, Boating Affairs Branch,

First Coast Guard District, (617) 223–

8311.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553, a

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)

was not published for this regulation.

Good cause exists for not publishing an

NPRM and for making this section

effective less than 30 days after Federal

Register publication. The application

for the event was received less than 30

days prior to the event date. Publishing

a NPRM and delaying the event would

be contrary to the public interest

because the airshow is intended for

viewing by the public. The sponsor was

unable to provide more leadtime due to

the difficulties in scheduling the

participating aircraft.

Background and Purpose

The Quonset Open House is a local,

traditional airshow sponsored by the

Rhode Island National Guard.

Participating aircraft take off and land

from an airstrip located on Quonset

Point, North Kingstown, RI. Due to the

aircrafts’ low flight paths, close

proximity to spectator vessels, and other

water related events, a regulated area is

needed to protect life and property

during the event.

This section establishes a regulated

area in the West Passage of Rhode Island

Sound, off Quonset Point. It prohibits

vessels from entering the regulated area

during the event. In emergency

situations, provisions may be made to

establish safe escort by a Coast Guard or

designated Coast Guard vessel for

vessels requiring transit through the

regulated area.

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

of 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 rule

to be so minimal that a full Regulatory

Evaluation, under paragraph 10e of the

regulatory policies and procedures of

DOT, is unnecessary. The effect of this

section will not be significant for several

reasons: the regulated area includes less

than half of one square nautical mile of

Narragansett Bay; entry into the

regulated area is restricted for a short

duration; vessels may transit around the

regulated area; and the extensive

advance advisories which will be made.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

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

must consider the economic impact on

small entities of a rule for which a

general notice of proposed rulemaking

is required. ‘‘Small entities’’ may

include (1) small businesses and not-forprofit organizations that are

independently owned and operated and

are not dominant in their fields and (2)

governmental jurisdictions with

populations of less than 50,000.

For the reasons discussed in the

Regulatory Evaluation, 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. If, however,

you think that your business or

organization qualifies as a small entity

and that this rule will have a significant

economic impact on your business or

organization, please submit a comment

explaining why you think it qualifies

and in what way and to what degree this

rule will economically affect it.

Collection of Information

This rule contains no collection of

information requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.)
