Safety Zone Regulations: Delaware

Bay, Delaware River, Marcus Hook, PA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is

establishing a temporary safety zone on

the Delaware River and Delaware Bay

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 transit of

the T/V HAVPRINS.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This rule is effective

from 11:59 p.m., on January 19, 1996

and terminates at 11:59 a.m., on January

29, 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 c/o U.S.

Coast Guard Captain of the Port, 1

Washington Ave., Philadelphia, PA.

19147–4395, Phone: (215) 271–4909.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

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

of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) was

not published for this regulation and

good cause exists for making it effective

in less than 30 days after Federal

Register publication. The Coast Guard

was informed by the owner/operator of

the T/V HAVPRINS on January 11, 1996

of the intended transit of the T/V

HAVPRINS 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 protect the environment

and mariners against potential hazards

associated with the transit of the T/V

HAVPRINS while carrying liquefied

petroleum gas.

Drafting Information: The drafters of this

regulation are LTJG S.J. Kelly, project officer

for the Captain of the Port, Philadelphia, and

CDR T.R. Cahill, Project Attorney, Fifth Coast

Guard District Legal Staff.

Discussion of the Regulation

This safety zone is a specified area

around the LPG vessel while underway,

at anchor and during cargo operations.

It will be in effect during the T/V

HAVPRINS’s inbound transit of the

Delaware River and Delaware Bay and

during cargo operations. The

circumstances requiring this regulation

are the potential hazards associated

with the transportation of liquefied

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. This transit

consists of T/V HAVPRINS’s inbound

transit to Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania,

and cargo operations at the Sun Refining

and Marketing Refinery terminal on the

Delaware River, at Marcus Hook,

Pennsylvania. Coast Guard Captain of

the Port Philadelphia may impose

transit restrictions on vessels operating

within the safety zone while the T/V

HAVPRINS 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)(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

proposal 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 proposal

and concluded that under section

2.B.2.e. (34) of Commandant Instruction

M16475.1B (as amended by 59 FR

38654; 29 July 1994), this rule is

categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation.

Collection of Information

This rule contains no collection of

information requirements 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.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

(water), Security measures, Vessels,

Temporary Regulation

In consideration of the foregoing,

Subpart F of Part 165 of Title 33, Code

of the Port, Philadelphia, may advise

mariners by Broadcast Notice to

Mariners that the safety zone will not be

enforced.

(c) Regulations: (1) No person or

vessel may enter the safety zone unless

its operator obtains permission of the

Captain of the Port or his designated

representative.

(d) As a condition of entry, the COTP

or his designated representative may

order that each vessel:

(1) Maintain a continuous radio guard

on channel 16 and channel 13 VHF–FM

while underway;

(2) Proceed as directed by the

designated representative of the Captain

of the Port, Philadelphia;

(3) Not overtake the T/V HAVPRINS

unless the overtaking is to be completed

before any bends in the channel, and the

pilots, masters and operators of both

vessels clearly agree on all actions

including vessel speeds, time and

location of overtaking; and

(4) When above the C&D Canal, not

meet the T/V HAVPRINS at a relative

speed greater than twenty (20) knots, or

greater than prevailing weather

conditions make prudent. The COTP

will not permit meeting situations on

river bends absent exigent

circumstances related to safe navigation

of either vessel.

(e) Definitions: The following

definitions shall apply within the safety

zone.

(1) The designated representative of

the Captain of the Port is any Coast

Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty

officer who has been authorized by the

Captain of the Port, Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania to act on his behalf. The

designated representative enforcing the

safety zone may be contacted on VHF

channels 13 and 16. The Captain of the

Port of Philadelphia and the Command

Duty Officer at the Marine Safety Office,

Philadelphia, may be contacted at

telephone number (215) 271–4940.

(2) Loaded condition is LPG on board

exceeding 2% of cargo tank capacity of

the vessel.

revision was submitted to comply with

the RACT ‘‘Catch-up’’ provisions of the

CAA. The revision pertains to

Regulation 24, ‘‘Control of Volatile

Organic Compound Emissions’’, by

establishing statewide emissions

standards for eight (8) additional VOC

source categories, effective November

29, 1994. The 8 additional VOC source

categories are as follows: (1) Section

10—Aerospace Coatings, (2) Section

11—Motor Vehicle Refinishing, (3)

Section 12—Surface Coating of Plastic

Parts, (4) Section 44—Batch Processing

Operations, (5) Section 45—Industrial

Cleaning Solvents, (6) Section 47—

Volatile Organic Compound Emissions

from Volatile Organic Liquid Storage

Vessels. In addition, new appendices

were added as follows: Appendix I—

Method to Determine Length of Rolling

Period for Liquid/Liquid Material

Balance, Appendix K—Emission

Estimation Methodologies, Appendix

L—Method to Determine Total Organic

Carbon for Offset Lithographic

Solutions, and Appendix M—Test

I. EPA Evaluation and Action

VOCs contribute to the production of

ground level ozone and smog. These

rules were adopted as part of an effort

to achieve the National Ambient Air

Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone.

[The other source categories was

published in the Federal Register on

May 3, 1995 (60 FR 21708).]. The

following is EPA’s evaluation of and

action on sections 10, 11, 12, 44, 45, 47,

48, and 49, and appendices I, K, L, and

M of Regulation 24, for the State of

Delaware. Detailed descriptions of the
