26840 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 104 / Wednesday, May 29, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

The revision to 31 CFR Part 224

appeared on November 9, 1995, at 60 FR

56551 and was open for comment

through December 11, 1995. During the

comment period, only one comment

was received from a trade association.

They indicated support for the revision.

This regulation is not a significant

regulatory action as defined in

Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, a

regulatory assessment is not required. It

is hereby certified that this revision will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small

entities. Accordingly, a regulatory

flexibility analysis is not required. This

change clarifies a regulation and

reduces the reporting requirements for

surety companies doing business with

the United States. Therefore, there is no

significant economic impact.

33 CFR Part 165

RIN 2115–AA97

[CGD 05–96–030]

Safety Zone Regulations: Delaware

Bay, Delaware River, Salem River, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing a safety zone on the

Delaware Bay and Delaware River from

Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, to the

Delaware Breakwater. This safety zone

is needed to protect vessels, the port

community and the environment from

potential safety and environmental

hazards associated with the loading and

outbound transit of the T/V EMSGAS.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This rule is effective

from 12:01 a.m. May 20, 1996, and

terminates at 11:59 p.m. June 2, 1996.

The Captain of the Port, Philadelphia,

may, at an earlier date, advise mariners

by Broadcast Notice to Mariners that the

safety zone will not be enforced.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

LTJG S.J. Kelly, Project officer at the

Captain of the Port, Philadelphia, (215)

271–4909.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

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

of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was

not published for this regulation and

good cause exists for making it effective

in less than 30 days after the Federal

Register publication. The Coast Guard

was informed by the owner/operator of

the T/V EMSGAS on May 16, 1996 of

the intended transit of the T/V EMSGAS

along the Delaware River. Publishing a

NPRM and delaying its effective date

would be contrary to the public interest,

since immediate action is needed to

respond to protect the environment and

vessel traffic against potential hazards

associated with the transit of the T/V

EMSGAS while it is loaded with

liquified petroleum gas.

Discussion of the Regulation

This safety zone includes a specified

area around the vessel during cargo

operations and while underway

outbound. It will be in effect during the

T/V EMSGAS’s transit of the Delaware

River and Delaware Bay and during

cargo operations at the Sun Refining and

Marketing Refinery terminal on the

Delaware River, at Marcus Hook,

Pennsylvania. The circumstances

requiring this regulation are the

potential hazards associated with the

transportation of liquified petroleum gas

by a large tankship in heavily trafficked

areas of the Delaware River and

Delaware Bay as well as in the Ports of

Philadelphia. The transit consists of T/

V EMSGAS’s outbound transit on the

Delaware River and the Delaware Bay

between the vessel’s berth at the Sun

Refining and Marketing Refinery

terminal on the Delaware River, at

Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, and the

Delaware Breakwater. Coast Guard

Captain of the Port Philadelphia may

impose transit restriction on vessels

operating within the safety zone while

the T/V EMSGAS is loaded with LPG

that exceeds 2% of the vessel’s cargo

carrying capacity.

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)(30 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 rule

to be so minimal that a full Regulatory

Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the

regulatory policies and procedures of

DOT is unnecessary.

Environment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that under section 2.B.2.e

(34). of Commandant Instruction

M16475.1B (as revised by 59 FR 38654;

Jul 29, 1994), this rule is categorically

excluded from further environmental

documentation.

Collection of Information

This rule contains no collection of

information requirement under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.).

Federalism Assessment

This action has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612, and it has been determined that

it does not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

Regulation

In consideration of the foregoing,
