SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The I–110 

(HWY 15) bridge across the Back Bay of 

Biloxi, mile 3.0, between Biloxi and 

D’Iberville, Harrison County, 

Mississippi, has a vertical clearance of 

60 feet above mean high water in the 

closed position. Presently, the draw 

opens on signal if at least six hours 

notice is given as required by 33 CFR 

117.675(a). 

The Mississippi Department of 

Transportation requests a deviation to 

allow the bridge to remain closed to 

marine traffic except for Mondays and 

Thursdays at 6 a.m. but only with a 72 

hour advanced request to open. The 

request should be made by telephone to 

877–486–8044. This deviation will 

allow the rehabilitation of the bridge to 

be completed in a timely fashion. This 

rehab is necessary to extend the bridge 

life, optimize traffic and boat 

operations, and improve overall traffic, 

boat and pedestrian safety. Any vessel 

that does not require an opening of the 

drawspan may pass at any time. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 

117.261(a), Public vessels of the United 

States and tugs with tow must be passed 

through the drawspan at any time. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 

117.31(b)(2), the drawspan shall be 

opened for vessels in distress where a 

delay would endanger life or property. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the designated time period. 

This deviation from the operating 

regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 

117.35. This deviation may be 

terminated/cancelled at anytime via 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway 

swing span drawbridge across Bayou 

Des Allemands, mile 14.0 has a vertical 

clearance of three feet above mean high 

water in the closed-to-navigation 

position and unlimited in the open-tonavigation position. Navigation on the 

waterway consists of tugs with tows, 

fishing vessels and recreational craft. 

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe 

Railway requested a temporary 

deviation for the operation of the 

drawbridge to accommodate 

maintenance work, involving 

replacement of the steel truss members, 

stringers, floor beams and railroad ties 

and rails, an extensive but necessary 

maintenance operation. Presently, the 

draw opens on signal Monday through 

Friday from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. At all 

other times the draw opens on signal if 

at least 4 hours notice is given. This 

work is essential for continued safe 

operation of the bridge. 

The District Commander has, 

therefore, issued a deviation from the 

regulations in 33 CFR 117.439(b) 

authorizing the draw of the Burlington 

Northern Santa Fe Railroad swing span 

drawbridge to remain closed to 

navigation from 7 a.m. on Tuesday, 

January 18, 2011 through 5 p.m. on 

Tuesday, February 22, 2011. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the designated time period. This 

deviation from the operating regulations 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

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 these 

temporary security zones are a 

necessary and key component of the 

Coast Guard’s maritime security mission 

in Southeastern New England, and a 

separate notice of proposed rulemaking 

will be pursued, where the public will 

be afforded ample opportunity to 

comment. Delaying the effective date of 

this rule to provide a public notice and 

comment period for this temporary final 

rule is contrary to national security 

concerns and the public interest. 

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. Any delay encountered in this 

temporary rule’s effective date would be 

contrary to the public interest given the 

need to protect passenger vessels from 

destruction, loss, or injury from 

sabotage, subversive acts, or other 

malicious acts of a similar nature. 

Basis and Purpose 

The Coast Guard’s maritime security 

mission includes the requirement to 

protect passenger vessels from 

destruction, loss, or injury from 

sabotage, subversive acts, or other 

malicious acts of a similar nature. 

Protecting these vessels from potential 

threats or harm while transiting, or 

while moored, at any berth, or at anchor 

in the waters of Sector Southeastern 

New England Captain of The Port Zone 

is necessary to safeguard passengers, 

vessels, and the general public. 

Discussion of Rule 

This regulation establishes temporary 

fixed security zones that will be in effect 

in the navigable waters within a 

maximum 100-yard radius around 

passenger vessels that are moored, or in 

the process of mooring, at any berth or 

at anchor within the Sector 

Southeastern New England Captain of 

the Port Zone. This regulation also 

establishes fixed moving security zones 

that will be in effect in the navigable 

waters up to 200 yards around escorted 

passenger vessels while underway in 

the navigable waters within the Sector 

Southeastern New England Captain of 

the Port Zone. The definition of 

passenger vessels to which these zones 

apply are passenger vessels over 100 

gross tons authorized to carry more than 

500 passengers for hire making voyages, 

any part of which is on the high seas, 

and for which passengers are embarked, 

disembarked or pay a port call, in the 

Sector Southeastern New England 

Captain of the Port Zone. These highcapacity passenger vessels typically are 

greater than 200 feet in length and have 

multiple decks. These security zones are 

necessary to safeguard passenger 

vessels, persons aboard passenger 

vessels, the public, waterways, ports, 

and adjacent facilities in the Sector 

Southeastern New England Captain of 

the Port Zone. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders relating 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. 

The Coast Guard expects the 

economic impact of this rule to be so 

minimal that a full regulatory evaluation 

under the regulatory policies and 

procedures of DHS is unnecessary. The 

effect of this rule will not be significant. 

Temporary moving security zones will 

only be in effect while escorted 

passenger vessels are underway, and the 

zone will not restrict any waterway for 

a long period of time. The vast majority 

of passenger vessel transits in the waters 

of Sector Southeastern New England 

Captain of the Port Zone are less than 

two hours. Temporary fixed security 

zones around passenger vessels that are 

moored, or in the process of mooring, at 

any berth or at anchor are anticipated to 

have minimal impact on vessel traffic 

because such vessels anchored or 

moored in designated anchorages or at 

waterfront facilities are away from 

navigation channels used by mariners. 

Additionally, vessels may be permitted 

to enter these security zones with 

expressed permission of the Captain of 

the Port, minimizing any adverse 

impact. It has been determined that the 

necessary security enhancements 

provided by this rule greatly outweigh 

any potential negative impacts. 

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 may affect the following 

entities, some of which may be small 

entities: The owners and operators of 

vessels intending to transit the waters of 

Sector Southeastern New England 

Captain of the Port Zone while the 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
63716 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 200 / Monday, October 18, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

security zones are enforced. These 

security zones will not have a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities for the 

following reasons: The moving security 

zones will only be enforced when an 

escorted passenger vessel is underway, 

and such transits in the Sector 

Southeastern New England Captain of 

the Port Zone are typically less than two 

hours in duration; the fixed security 

zones around passenger vessels moored, 

or in the process of mooring, at a berth 

or at anchorage, allow for vessel traffic 

to transit the navigable waters outside 

the zone. Additionally, vessels may be 

permitted to enter these security zones 

with the express prior permission of the 

Captain of the Port, minimizing any 

adverse impact. 

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 

could better evaluate its effects on them 

and participate in the rulemaking 

process. If you think your small 

business or organization would be 

affected by this rule and you have any 

questions concerning its provisions or 

options for compliance, please call Mr. 

Edward G. Leblanc at (401) 435–2351. 

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 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 which 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 fits 

the category selected from paragraph 

(34)(g), as it establishes a temporary 

security zone for a limited period of 

time. A final ‘‘Environmental Analysis 

Check List’’ and a final ‘‘Categorical 

Exclusion Determination’’ will be 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On June 21, 2010 (75 FR 34964), EPA 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPR) for the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The 

NPR proposed approval of a revision of 

the Pennsylvania SIP that amends 25 

Pa. Code Chapter 130, Subchapters B by 

adding VOC content limits for an 

additional 11 categories of consumer 

products and revising the VOC content 

limits for one category of consumer 

products currently regulated. The NPR 

also proposed approval of amendments 

to the SIP that add definitions for 

approximately 30 new terms and 

amends definitions for approximately 

75 existing terms in order to provide 

clarity. Additionally, the term ‘‘VOCvolatile organic compound’’ is added to 

Subchapter B. The NPR proposed 

approval of a revision to the SIP that 

changes the definition of the term 

‘‘VOC—volatile organic compound’’ in 

Subchapter C (relating to AIM coatings) 

to mirror the definition of the term in 25 

Pa. Code Chapter 121 (relating to 

definitions). EPA received no comments 

on the NPR that proposed approval of 

Pennsylvania’s SIP revision. The formal 

SIP revision was submitted by the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on 

March 11, 2009.
