62320 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 195 / Friday, October 8, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this AD will 

not have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 

the States, on the relationship between 

the national government and the States, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

(3) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

We prepared a summary of the costs 

to comply with this AD and placed it in 

the AD Docket. You may get a copy of 

this summary at the address listed 

under ADDRESSES.

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) 

with respect to this rule because any 

delay encountered in this regulation’s 

effective date by publishing a NPRM 

would be contrary to public interest 

since immediate action is needed to 

provide for the safety of life and 

property on navigable waters. 

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 contrary to the public interest, 

since immediate action is needed to 

ensure the safety of the event 

participants, patrol vessels, spectator 

craft, and other vessels transiting the 

event area. 

Basis and Purpose 

On November 19, 2010, the USS 

GRAVELY Commissioning Committee 

will sponsor a fireworks display on the 

western shore of the Cape Fear River at 

Battleship Park. The fireworks debris 

fallout area will extend over the 

navigable waters of Cape Fear River. 

Due to the need to protect mariners and 

spectators from the hazards associated 

with the fireworks display, including 

accidental discharge of fireworks, 

dangerous projectiles, and falling hot 

embers or other debris, vessel traffic 

will be temporarily restricted from 

transiting within fireworks launch and 

fallout area. 

Discussion of Rule 

The Coast Guard is establishing a 

safety zone on the navigable waters of 

Cape Fear River within an area bound 

by a line drawn from the following 

points: latitude 34°13′54′′ N, longitude 

077°57′06′′ W; thence northeast to 

latitude 34°13′57′′ N, longitude 

077°57′05′′ W; thence north to latitude 

34°14′11′′ N, longitude 077°57′07′′ W; 

thence northwest to latitude 34°14′22′′ 

N, longitude 077°57′19′′ W; thence west 

to latitude 34°14′22′′ N, longitude 

077°57′06′′ W; thence southeast to 

latitude 34°14′07′′ N, longitude 

077°57′00′′ W; thence south to latitude 

34°13′54′′ N, longitude 077°56′58′′ W; 

thence to the point of origin, located 

approximately 500 yards north of Cape 

Fear Memorial Bridge. This safety zone 

will be established in the vicinity of 

Wilmington, NC from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. 

on November 19, 2010. In the interest of 

public safety, general navigation within 

the safety zone will be restricted during 

the specified date and times. Except for 

participants and vessels authorized by 

the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, or 

his or her representative, no person or 

vessel may enter or remain in the 

regulated area. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

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. Although this regulation restricts 

access to a small segment of the Cape 

Fear River, the effect of this rule will not 

be significant because: (i) the safety 

zone will be in effect for a limited 

duration; (ii) the zone is of limited size; 

and (iii) the Coast Guard will make 

notifications via maritime advisories so 

mariners can adjust their plans 

accordingly. 

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 will 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 the specified 

portion of Cape Fear River from 9 p.m. 

to 10 p.m. on November 19, 2010. This 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities for the 

following reasons: (1) This rule will be 

enforced for only one hour on 

November 19, 2010; (2) Vessel traffic 

will be able to navigate safely around 

the safety zone without significant 

impact to their transit plans; and (3) 

Before the effective period begins, we 

will issue maritime advisories. 

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. 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
62322 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 195 / Friday, October 8, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

(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 a safety zone for a 

fireworks display launch site and fallout 

area and is expected to have no impact 

on the water or environment. This zone 

is designed to protect mariners and 

spectators from the hazards associated 

with aerial fireworks displays.

revision complete and stop the 

sanctions clocks associated with the 

Atlanta, Georgia, 1997 fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5) national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS) 

nonattainment area (hereafter referred to 

as the ‘‘Atlanta Area’’). Pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) and its 

implementing regulations, EPA has 

made an affirmative determination of 

completeness for the attainment 

demonstration, reasonably available 

control measures and reasonably 

available control technology, annual 

emissions reductions to ensure 

reasonable further progress, and 

contingency measures (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘nonattainment area 

submittals’’) submitted by the State of 

Georgia for the Atlanta Area. On 

September 3, 2010, a letter announcing 

this determination was sent to the 

Governor of Georgia, effectively 

stopping the sanctions clocks started on 

November 27, 2009, by ‘‘a finding of 

failure to submit’’ the 1997 PM2.5

nonattainment submittals for the 

Atlanta Area. Today’s notice is simply 

an announcement of a determination 

that EPA has already made.

Walton Counties and portions of Heard 

and Putnam Counties. For the 1997 

PM2.5 NAAQS, the State of Georgia was 

required to submit nonattainment area 

submittals by April 5, 2008. On 

November 27, 2009, EPA published a 

finding of failure to submit final 

rulemaking for the required SIPs (74 FR 

62251). 

On July 6, 2010, Georgia submitted all 

components for the nonattainment area 

submittals for the Atlanta Area. EPA has 

done a completeness review, in 

accordance with Section 2.0 ‘‘Criteria’’ of 

Appendix V of 40 CFR part 51—Criteria 

for Determining the Completeness of 

Plan Submissions, to ensure that the 

State has submitted all of the required 

information for the SIP submission. 

As explained in the letter sent by EPA 

to the Governor of Georgia, on 

September 3, 2010, EPA has determined 

that the State has corrected the 

deficiency identified in EPA’s 

promulgated finding of failure to submit 

the required nonattainment area SIP 

submittals for the Atlanta Area. 

Specifically, EPA has determined that 

Georgia has submitted complete SIP 

submittals for the Atlanta Area to meet 

the CAA requirement for a 

nonattainment area under the 1997 

PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA will make a 

determination on the approvability of 

the nonattainment area submittals for 

the Atlanta Area in a separate action. 

Today’s announcement only relates to a 

completeness determination for the 

nonattainment area submittals for the 

Atlanta Area, and is separate from EPA’s 

determination of approvability of these 

submittals. Today’s action is simply a 

notice of a determination that EPA 

already made through correspondence 

with the Governor of Georgia.
