SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary final rule without prior 

notice and opportunity to comment 

pursuant to authority under section 4(a) 

of the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). 

A NPRM would be impracticable with 

respect to this rule because immediate 

action is needed to protect spectators 

and marine traffic during the Wheeling 

Heritage Port Sternwheel Foundation 

fireworks display that will occur in the 

city of Wheeling, WV. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553 (d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date 

would be impracticable and contrary to 

public interest because immediate 

action is needed to protect spectators 

and marine traffic during the Wheeling 

Heritage Port Sternwheel Foundation 

fireworks display. 

Basis and Purpose 

The Coast Guard is establishing a 

safety zone from Mile Marker 90.2 to 

Mile Marker 90.5 on the Ohio River 

extending the full width of the river. 

The safety zone is needed to protect 

spectators and marine traffic during the 

Wheeling Heritage Port Sternwheel 

Foundation fireworks display. 

Discussion of Rule 

Vessels shall not enter into, depart 

from, or move within the safety zone 

without permission from the Captain of 

the Port Pittsburgh or his authorized 

representative. Persons or vessels 

requiring entry into or passage through 

the safety zone must request permission 

from the Captain of the Port Pittsburgh, 

or a designated representative. They 

may be contacted on VHF–FM Channel 

13 or 16, or through Coast Guard Sector 

Ohio Valley at 1–800–253–7465. This 

safety zone will be enforced from 

8:45 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. on September 

18, 2010. In the event of rain, this safety 

zone will be enforced from 8:45 p.m. to 

10:15 p.m. on September 19, 2010. The 

Captain of the Port Pittsburgh will 

inform the public through broadcast 

notices to mariners of the enforcement 

period for the safety zone as well as any 

changes in the planned schedule. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
56470 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 179 / Thursday, September 16, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. We expect the economic impact 

of this proposed rule to be so minimal 

that a full Regulatory Assessment is 

unnecessary. This rule will only be in 

effect for a short period of time and 

notifications to the marine community 

will be made through broadcast notice 

to mariners. The impacts on routine 

navigation are expected to be minimal. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises 

small businesses, not-for-profit 

organizations that are independently 

owned and operated and are not 

dominant in their fields, and 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard certifies under 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This rule will affect the following 

entities, some of which may be small 

entities: the owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit that portion 

of the waterways from Mile Marker 90.2 

to Mile Marker 90.5 on the Ohio River 

extending the full width of the, from 

8:45 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. The safety zone 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities for the following reasons. This 

safety zone would be activated, and thus 

subject to enforcement, for only a short 

period of time and during a time period 

where vessel traffic is low. Before 

activation of the safety zone, we would 

issue maritime advisories widely 

available to users of the rivers. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

we offer to assist small entities in 

understanding the rule so that they can 

better evaluate its effects on them and 

participate in the rulemaking process. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 

1–888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). 

The Coast Guard will not retaliate 

against small entities that question or 

complain about this rule or any policy 

or action of the Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This rule calls for no new collection 

of information under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520). 

Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on State or local governments and 

would either preempt State law or 

impose a substantial direct cost of 

compliance on them. We have analyzed 

this rule under that Order and have 

determined that it does not have 

implications for federalism. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this rule 

will not result in such an expenditure, 

we do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This rule will not cause a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

Civil Justice Reform 

This rule meets applicable standards 

in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 

Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to 

minimize litigation, eliminate 

ambiguity, and reduce burden. 

Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not 

an economically significant rule and 

does not create an environmental risk to 

health or risk to safety that may 

disproportionately affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. We have 

determined that it is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under that order because 

it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866 and is not 

likely to have a significant adverse effect 

on the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 179 / Thursday, September 16, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 56471 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule 

involves establishing, disestablishing, or 

changing Regulated Navigation Areas 

and security or safety zones. 

An environmental analysis checklist 

and a categorical exclusion 

determination are available in the

POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 501 

Revisions to the Requirements for 

Authority To Manufacture and 

Distribute Postage Evidencing 

Systems 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is revising 

its regulations to require that companies 

that manufacture and distribute postage 

evidencing systems (‘‘Company or 

Companies’’) engage a qualified, 

independent audit firm to perform an 

examination of and provide an opinion 

on the design and operating 

effectiveness of relevant internal control 

activities performed by the Companies 

as service providers to the Postal 

Service under the Statement on 

Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 (‘‘SAS 

70’’). 

DATES: Effective Date: September 16, 

2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Marlo Kay Ivey, Marketing Specialist, 

Postage Technology Management, U.S. 

Postal Service, at 202–268–7613. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Postage 

Evidencing Systems are devices or 

systems of components that a customer 

uses to print evidence that the prepaid 

postage required for mailing has been 

paid. They include, but are not limited 

to, postage meters and PC Postage 

systems. The Postal Service regulates 

these systems and their use in order to 

protect postal revenue. Only Postal 

Service–authorized product service 

providers may design, produce, and 

distribute Postage Evidencing Systems. 

The Postal Service published a 

proposed rule in the Federal Register on 

June 1, 2010 at 73 FR 30309–30310 to 

amend the requirements for authority to 

manufacture and distribute postage 

evidencing systems. This revision 

clarifies the internal controls required in 

39 CFR 501.15(i), Computerized Meter 

Resetting System, and 501.16(f), PC 

Postage Payment Methodology. The 

internal controls requirement was added 

as part of a final rule published in the 

Federal Register on November 9, 2006, 

at 71 FR 65732. 

Comments: Two comments were 

received from the Companies (that 

manufacture or distribute postage 

evidencing systems). The first was 

notification of intent to comply. The 

second requested that the proposed 

amendment be modified to allow a 

Company with qualified internal audit 

departments, which meets the 

independence requirements under the 

Standards for the Professional Practice 

of the Institute of Internal Auditors 

(‘‘IIA’’), to utilize its internal audit 

department to perform the internal 

controls examination in lieu of engaging 

an independent audit firm. 

The Postal Service gave thorough 

consideration to this comment. While 

the Postal Service recognizes the IIA as 

the authoritative body over internal 

audit activities, SAS 70 (Type II) 

examinations are subject to the 

American Institute of Certified Public 

Accountants (‘‘AICPA’’) professional 

standards, which impose more stringent 

independence requirements and a 

requirement that the examination be 

performed by a licensed CPA. Therefore, 

the Postal Service will not modify the 

proposed amendments as requested and 

will require the Companies to annually 

obtain an SAS 70 (Type II) examination 

of relevant internal controls by a 

qualified, independent, external audit 

firm. The Postal Service gave through 

consideration to the comments it 

received, and now announces the 

adoption of the final rule.
