Removal of Toshiba Sanction

Regulations

AGENCY: Customs Service, Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document amends the

Customs Regulations by removing the

regulatory provisions that implemented

the import sanctions against all

products produced by the Toshiba

Machine Company and the Kongsberg

Trading Company. The ‘‘Toshiba

Sanctions’’ were imposed by Executive

Order No. 12661 for a three year time

period, which expired on December 28,

1991.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 5, 1996.

Louis Alfano, Office of Field

Operations, Trade Compliance,

Commercial Enforcement, (202) 927–

0005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

As part of Customs continuing effort

to ensure that its regulations are

informative and up-to-date, Customs has

determined that four of its regulatory

provisions in Part 12 of the Customs

Regulations (19 CFR Part 12) are

obsolete and should be removed. The

regulatory sections are found at 19 CFR

12.140–143, Customs Regulations, and

were promulgated to implement the

import sanctions mandated by section

2443(a)(2) of the Omnibus Trade and

Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Pub.L.

100–418, 102 Stat. 1107, 1365, 50 U.S.C.

App. 2410a note) and imposed by

Executive Order No. 12661 of December

27, 1988 (53 FR 779, 3 CFR part 1988

Comp. p. 618, 24 Weekly

Comp.Pres.Doc. 1661) for a three year

time period against all products

produced by the Toshiba Machine

Company and the Kongsberg Trading

Company. As the three year time period

expired on December 28, 1991, Customs

has decided to remove these four

obsolete regulatory provisions,

commonly referred to as the ‘‘Toshiba

Sanctions’’. Also, because the Toshiba

Sanction regulations required the

submission of information to Customs,

the listing of Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) control numbers found at

19 CFR 178.2 is amended to remove the

information collection authorization for

§ 12.143, which provided for

declarations of exception from import

sanctions.

Inapplicability of Public Notice and

Comment Requirements, Delayed

Effective Date Requirements, the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, and

Executive Order 12866

Because this amendment removes

obsolete regulatory provisions to

conform the Customs Regulations to

current legal requirements, which have

no substantive effect on the public,

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 (b)(B), good

cause exists for dispensing with notice

and public procedure thereon as

unnecessary. For the same reasons, it is

determined under the provisions of 5

U.S.C. 553(d)(1) and (d)(3) that good

cause exists for dispensing with a

delayed effective date. Since this

document is not subject to the notice

and public procedure requirements of 5

U.S.C. 553, it is not subject to provisions

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.). This document does

not meet the criteria for a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ as specified in E.O.

12866.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 100

[CGD07–96–020]

RIN 2115–AE46

Special Local Regulations: Beaufort

Water Festival, Beaufort, SC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing permanent special local

regulations for the Beaufort Water

Festival. This event will be held

annually on the last two Saturdays and

Sundays of July, between 7:30 a.m. and

7 p.m. e.d.t. (Eastern Daylight Time).

Historically, the raft races, sailboat

regattas, aerial demonstrations, power

boat races, and a parade of ships have

drawn 75 event participants and 400

spectator craft to the Beaufort River each

day of the event. The anticipated

concentration of spectator and event

participant vessels associated with the

Beaufort Water Festival poses a safety

concern. Furthermore, the nature of the

event and the closure of the Beaufort

River between the Ladys Island swing

bridge and Spanish Point creates an

extra or unusual hazard in the navigable

waters during the event. These

regulations are necessary to provide for

the safety of life on navigable waters

during the event.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 5, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

ENS M.J. DaPonte, project officer, Coast

Guard Group Charleston at (803) 724–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

On April 19, 1996, the Coast Guard

published a notice of proposed

rulemaking entitled ‘‘Beaufort Water

Festival, Beaufort, SC [CGD07–96–020]

in the Federal Register (61 FR 17269).

The comment period ended on May 20,

1996. The Coast Guard received no

comments during the notice of proposed

rulemaking comment period. A public

hearing was not requested and no

hearing was held.

Discussion of Regulations

These regulations are needed to

provide for the safety of life during the

Beaufort Water Festival. The regulations

are intended to promote safe navigation

on the waters of the Beaufort River

between the Ladys Island swing bridge

and Spanish Point by controlling the

traffic entering, exiting, and traveling

within these waters. Historically, the

raft races, sailboat regattas, aerial

demonstrations, power boat races and a

parade of ships have drawn

approximately 75 event participants and

400 spectator craft to the Beaufort River

each day of the event. The anticipated

concentration of spectator and event

participant vessels associated with the

Beaufort Water Festival poses a safety

concern, which is addressed in these

special local regulations.

These regulations will not permit

movement of spectator vessels and other

non-event participating vessel traffic

within the regulated area, between the

Ladys Island swing bridge (32°25′40′′ N,

080°40′10′′ W) and a line drawn directly

across the Beaufort River at Spanish

Point (32°24′00′′ N) from 7:30 a.m. to 7

p.m. e.d.t, annually on the last two

Saturdays and Sundays of July. All

coordinates referenced use datum: NAD

1983. However, these regulations will

permit the movement of spectator

vessels and other non-event participant

vessels between scheduled events and at

the termination of the last scheduled

event, at the discretion of the Coast

Guard Patrol Commander.

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 the 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 rule

to be so minimal that a full Regulatory

Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the

regulatory policies and procedures of

DOT is unnecessary. These regulations

will last for only 11 and one half hours

on each day of the event. No public

comments were received during the

notice of proposed rulemaking comment

period.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

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

must consider whether this rulemaking

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).

For reasons set forth in the above

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.

Collection of Information

These regulations contain no

collection of information requirements

under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Federalism

This action has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612, and it has been determined that

this rulemaking 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

rulemaking consistent with Section

2.B.2. of Commandant Instruction

M16475.1B. In accordance with that

section, this action has been

environmentally assessed (EA

completed), and the Coast Guard has

concluded that it will not significantly

affect the quality of the human

environment. An environmental

assessment and a finding of no

significant impact have been prepared

and are available in the docket for

inspection.
