plans for purposes of allocation of assets under ERISA section 4044. Those assumptions are 

updated quarterly. 

The November 2014 interest 

assumptions under the benefit payments 

regulation will be 1.25 percent for the 

period during which a benefit is in pay 

status and 4.00 percent during any years 

preceding the benefit’s placement in pay 

status. In comparison with the interest 

assumptions in effect for October 2014, 

these interest assumptions represent an 

increase of 0.25 percent in the 

immediate annuity rate and are 

otherwise unchanged. 

PBGC has determined that notice and 

public comment on this amendment are 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. This finding is based on the 

need to determine and issue new 

interest assumptions promptly so that 

the assumptions can reflect current 

market conditions as accurately as 

possible. 

Because of the need to provide 

immediate guidance for the payment of 

benefits under plans with valuation 

dates during November 2014, PBGC 

finds that good cause exists for making 

the assumptions set forth in this 

amendment effective less than 30 days 

after publication. 

PBGC has determined that this action 

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under the criteria set forth in Executive 

Order 12866. 

Because no general notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required for this 

amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act of 1980 does not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 

601(2).

B. Regulatory History and Information 

The Mavericks Invitational Surf 

Competition has grown in popularity 

within the past several years. Due to the 

inherent dangers of the competition and 

the disruption to the normal uses of the 

waterways in the vicinity of Pillar Point, 

the Coast Guard issues a Marine Event 

Permit to the event sponsor. Following 

the collapse of the Cliffside viewing area 

in 2011, the Coast Guard became 

concerned that the loss of shore-side 

viewing would result in a larger than 

expected number of spectator vessels in 

the vicinity of the event and considered 

promulgating a Safety Zone which 

would prevent spectator vessels from 

encroaching on the competition area to 

preserve the safety of both the surfers 

and the spectators. Because it proved 

impossible to reliably predetermine the 

exact location of breaking surf, the Coast 

Guard did not establish a Safety Zone 

for subsequent events, but has 

continued to maintain a presence at the 

event to protect the competitors from 

encroaching spectator vessels and vice 

versa. This special local regulation 

formalizes the scheme employed during 

the 2013 and 2014 competitions, which 

proved to be an effective means of 

separating competitors from spectators. 

The two zones and associated 

regulations contained in this rule are 

intended to ensure the safety of 

competitors from spectator vessels, and 

to enhance safety of spectator vessels by 

creating a designated area in which the 

Coast Guard may direct the movement 

of such vessels. Because of the dangers 

posed by the surf conditions during the 

Mavericks Invitational Surf 

Competition, the special local regulation 

is necessary to provide for the safety of 

event participants, spectators, and other 

vessels transiting the event area. For the 

safety concerns noted, it is in the public 

interest to have these regulations in 

effect during the event. 

The Coast Guard is enacting this 

special local regulation without 

publishing an NPRM. The Coast Guard 

finds good cause for publishing this 

interim rule without an NPRM because 

an NPRM, in this case, is unnecessary. 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
61764 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 199 / Wednesday, October 15, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

Public interest in this regulation is low: 

This event involves a limited area, does 

not restrict navigation and is enforced 

for only one day within the regulated 

period. In addition, the Coast Guard has 

been working with the event sponsors, 

participants and spectators for two years 

and has received input from the 

involved parties on how to best manage 

this event over the years. Finally, by 

publishing this rule as an interim rule, 

the Coast Guard remains open to public 

comment on how to improve the 

regulation. 

The effective date of this regulation is 

less than thirty days from the date of 

publication. The Coast Guard finds good 

cause for making this interim rule 

effective less than thirty days after 

publication because doing so is 

unnecessary. This event has been 

occurring for the previous two years and 

is known to the local community. In 

addition, the Coast Guard has been 

working with the event sponsors, 

participants and spectators for two years 

and has a good idea how to best manage 

this event. Finally, while the regulation 

will be in effect starting in November, 

the date of the event is most likely to be 

between January and March, so 

sufficient notice before the actual 

enforcement period would be available. 

C. Basis and Purpose 

Under 33 CFR 100.35, the Coast 

Guard District Commander has 

authority to promulgate certain special 

local regulations deemed necessary to 

ensure the safety of life on the navigable 

waters immediately before, during, and 

immediately after an approved regatta or 

marine parade. The Commander of 

Coast Guard District 11 has delegated to 

the Captain of the Port (COTP) San 

Francisco the responsibility of issuing 

such regulations. 

The Mavericks Invitational Surf 

Competition is a one day ‘‘Big Wave’’ 

surfing competition between the top 24 

big wave surfers. The competition only 

occurs when 15–20 foot waves are 

sustained for over 24 hours and are 

combined with mild easterly winds of 

no more than 5–10 knots. The rock and 

reef ridges that make up the sea floor of 

the Pillar Point area combined with 

optimal weather conditions create the 

large waves that Mavericks is known 

for. Due to the hazardous waters 

surrounding Pillar Point at the time of 

the surfing competition, the Coast Guard 

is establishing a special local regulation 

in vicinity of Pillar Point that restricts 

navigation in the area of the surf 

competition and in neighboring 

hazardous areas. This regulation is 

intended to ensure the safety of 

competitors by delineating a specific 

competition area, and to provide for the 

safety of spectators by imposing 

operating restrictions on those vessels. 

D. Discussion of the Interim Rule 

The Coast Guard is establishing a 

regulated area for the Mavericks 

Invitational Surf Competition. The 

Mavericks Invitational Surf Competition 

will take place on a day that presents 

favorable surf conditions between 

November 1 of each year and March 31 

of the following year, from 6 a.m. until 

6 p.m. The Mavericks Invitational can 

only occur when 15–20 foot waves are 

sustained for over 24 hours and are 

combined with mild easterly winds of 

no more than 5–10 knots. Unpredictable 

weather patterns and the event’s narrow 

operating window limit the Coast 

Guard’s ability to notify the public of 

the event. The Coast Guard will issue 

notice of the event as soon as 

practicable and no later than 24 hours 

prior via the Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners. 

The Mavericks Invitational Surf 

Competition will occur in the navigable 

waters of Half Moon Bay, CA in vicinity 

of Pillar Point as depicted in National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) Chart 18682. 

The Coast Guard will enforce a 

regulated area defined by an arc 

extending 1000 yards from Sail Rock 

(37°29′34′′ N, 122°30′02′′ W) excluding 

the waters within Pillar Point Harbor. 

All restrictions would apply only 

between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the day 

of the actual competition. 

The effect of this regulation will be to 

restrict navigation in the vicinity of 

Pillar Point during the Mavericks 

Invitational Surf Competition. During 

the enforcement period, the Coast Guard 

will direct the movement and access of 

all vessels within the regulated area. 

The regulated area will be divided into 

two zones. Zone 1 will be designated as 

the competition area, and the movement 

of vessels within Zone 2 will be 

controlled by PATCOM. 

This regulation is needed to keep 

spectators and vessels a safe distance 

away from the event participants and 

the hazardous waters surrounding Pillar 

Point. Past competitions have 

demonstrated the importance of 

restricting access to the competition 

area to only vessels in direct support of 

the competitors. Failure to comply with 

the lawful directions of the Coast Guard 

could result in additional vessel 

movement restrictions, citation, or both. 

E. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on these statutes and executive 

orders. 

1. Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 

12866 or under section 1 of Executive 

Order 13563. The Office of Management 

and Budget has not reviewed it under 

those Orders. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this rule does not rise to the level of 

necessitating a full Regulatory 

Evaluation. The regulated area and 

associated regulations are limited in 

duration, and are limited to a narrowly 

tailored geographic area. In addition, 

although this rule restricts access to the 

waters encompassed by the regulated 

area, the effect of this rule will not be 

significant because the local waterway 

users will be notified via public 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners to ensure 

the regulations will result in minimum 

impact. The entities most likely to be 

affected are small commercial vessels, 

and pleasure craft engaged in 

recreational activities. 

2. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 

(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 

requires federal agencies to consider the 

potential impact of regulations on small 

entities during rulemaking. 

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 owners and 

operators of commercial vessels, and 

pleasure craft engaged in recreational 

activities and sightseeing. This rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

for several reasons: (i) This rule will 

encompass only a small portion of the 

waterway for a limited period of time, 

and (ii) the maritime public will be 

advised in advance of the enforcement 

of the regulated area via Broadcast 

Notice to Mariners. 

3. Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104– 

121), we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this rule. If the rule 

would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 199 / Wednesday, October 15, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 61765 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please contact the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT, above. 

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. 

4. 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). 

5. 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. 

6. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels. 

7. 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. 

8. 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. 

9. 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. 

10. 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. 

11. 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. 

12. Energy Effects 

This action is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under Executive Order 

13211, Actions Concerning Regulations 

That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

14. 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 determined that 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 involves a 

regulated area of limited size and 

duration. This rule is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the 

Commandant Instruction. An 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this rule. 

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100 

Marine safety, Navigation (water), 

Reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements, and Waterways. 

For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33 

CFR part 100 as follows: 

PART 100—SAFETY OF LIFE ON 

NAVIGABLE WATERS 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 100 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233. 

■ 2. Add § 100.1106 to read as follows: 

§ 100.1106 Special Local Regulation; 

Annual Mavericks Invitational Big Wave 

Surf Competition. 

(a) Location. This special local 

regulation establishes a regulated area 

on the waters of Half Moon Bay, located 

in the vicinity of Pillar Point. Movement 

within marinas, pier spaces, and 

facilities within Pillar Point Harbor is 

not regulated by this section. 

(b) Enforcement Period. The following 

regulations will be enforced between the 

hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on one day 

between November 1 of each year and 

March 31 of the following year. Annual 

notice of the specific enforcement dates 

and times of these regulations will be 

announced via Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners and published by the Coast 

Guard in a Boating Public Safety Notice 

at least 24 hours in advance of the 

competition. Annual notice of the 

specific enforcement dates and times 

will also be published in a Notice of 

Enforcement in the Federal Register 

each year. 

(c) Definitions. (1) Patrol Commander. 

As used in this section, ‘‘Patrol 

Commander’’ or ‘‘PATCOM’’ means a 

Coast Guard Patrol Commander, 

including a Coast Guard coxswain, petty 

officer, or other officer, or a Federal, 

State, or local officer designated by the 

Captain of the Port San Francisco 

(COTP) pursuant to a Memorandum of 

Understanding with that agency, to 

assist in the enforcement of the special 

local regulation. 

(2) Regulated Area. As used in this 

section ‘‘Regulated Area’’ means the 

area in which the Maverick’s 

Invitational Surf Competition will take 

place. This area is bounded by an arc 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
61766 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 199 / Wednesday, October 15, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

extending 1000 yards from Sail Rock 

(37°29′34′′ N, 122°30′02′′ W) excluding 

the waters within Pillar Point Harbor. 

All coordinates are North American 

Datum 1983. Within the Regulated Area, 

at least two zones will be established 

and marked by buoys on the day of the 

competition. Due to the dynamic and 

changing nature of the surf, the exact 

size and location of the zones will not 

be made public until the competition 

day. The zones will be prominently 

marked by at least 8 buoys, placed by 

the event sponsor in a pattern approved 

by PATCOM. In addition, the USCG will 

notify the public of the zone locations 

via broadcast notice to mariners on the 

day of the event. 

(3) Zone 1. As used in this section, 

‘‘Zone 1’’ means the competition area 

within the Regulated Area. Zone 1 will 

generally be located to the northwest of 

a line drawn between Sail Rock 

(37°29′34′′ N, 122°30′02′′ W) and Pillar 

Point Entrance Lighted Gong Buoy 1 

(37°29′10.410′′ N, 122°30′21.904′′ W). 

(4) Zone 2. As used in this section, 

‘‘Zone 2’’ means the area within the 

Regulated Area where the Coast Guard 

may direct the movement of all vessels, 

including restricting vessels from this 

area. Due to weather and sea conditions, 

the Captain of the Port may deny access 

to Zone 2 and the remainder of the 

regulated area to all vessels other than 

competitors and support vessels on the 

day of the event. Zone 2 will generally 

be located to the southeast of a line 

drawn between Sail Rock (37°29′34′′ N, 

122°30′02′′ W) and Pillar Point Entrance 

Lighted Gong Buoy 1 (37°29′10.410′′ N, 

122°30′21.904′′ W). 

(5) Competitor. As used in this section 

‘‘competitor’’ means a surfer, enrolled in 

the Maverick’s Invitational Surf 

Competition. 

(6) Support Vessel. As used in this 

section ‘‘support vessel’’ means a vessel 

which is designated and conspicuously 

marked by the sponsor to provide direct 

support to the competitors. 

(7) Spectator Vessel. As used in this 

section ‘‘spectator vessel’’ means any 

vessel or person which is not designated 

by the sponsor as a support vessel. 

(d) Special Local Regulations. The 

following regulations apply between the 

hours of 6am and 6pm on the 

competition day. 

(1) Regulated Area Restrictions: 

(i) Only support vessels may be 

authorized by the Patrol Commander 

(PATCOM) to enter Zone 1 during the 

competition. 

(ii) Entering the water in Zone 1 by 

any person other than the competitors is 

prohibited. Competitors shall enter the 

water in Zone 1 from authorized 

support vessels only. 

(iii) Vessels within Zone 2 shall 

maneuver as directed by PATCOM. 

Given the changing nature of the surf in 

the vicinity of the competition, 

PATCOM may close Zone 2 to all 

vessels due to hazardous conditions. 

(iv) Entering the water in Zone 2 by 

any person is prohibited. 

(v) Rafting and anchoring of vessels 

are prohibited within the Regulated 

Area. 

(vi) Only vessels authorized by 

PATCOM shall be permitted to tow 

other watercraft within the regulated 

area. 

(vii) Spectator and support vessels in 

Zones 1 and 2 shall operate at speeds 

which will create minimum wake, in 

general, seven (7) miles per hour or less. 

(viii) When hailed or signaled by 

PATCOM by a succession of sharp, 

short signals by whistle or horn, the 

hailed vessel must come to an 

immediate stop and comply with the 

lawful directions issued. Failure to 

comply with a lawful direction may 

result in additional operating 

restrictions, citation for failure to 

comply, or both. 

(ix) During the events, vessel 

operators may contact the PATCOM on 

VHF–FM channel 16.

Suspension of Community Eligibility 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities where the sale of flood 

insurance has been authorized under 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) that are scheduled for 

suspension on the effective dates listed 

within this rule because of 

noncompliance with the floodplain 

management requirements of the 

program. If the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) receives 

documentation that the community has 

adopted the required floodplain 

management measures prior to the 

effective suspension date given in this 

rule, the suspension will not occur and 

a notice of this will be provided by 

publication in the Federal Register on a 

subsequent date. Also, information 

identifying the current participation 

status of a community can be obtained 

from FEMA’s Community Status Book 

(CSB). The CSB is available at http://

www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm. 

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective 

date of each community’s scheduled 

suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) 

listed in the third column of the 

following tables. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you want to determine whether a 

particular community was suspended 

on the suspension date or for further 

information, contact David Stearrett, 

Federal Insurance and Mitigation 

Administration, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

Federal flood insurance that is not 

otherwise generally available from 

private insurers. In return, communities 

agree to adopt and administer local 

floodplain management measures aimed 

at protecting lives and new construction 

from future flooding. Section 1315 of 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, 

prohibits the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed in this document no 

longer meet that statutory requirement 

for compliance with program 

regulations, 44 CFR Part 59. 

Accordingly, the communities will be 

suspended on the effective date in the 

third column. As of that date, flood 

insurance will no longer be available in 

the community. We recognize that some 

of these communities may adopt and 

submit the required documentation of 

legally enforceable floodplain 

management measures after this rule is 

published but prior to the actual 

suspension date. These communities 

will not be suspended and will continue 

to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance. A notice withdrawing the 

suspension of such communities will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that 

identifies the Special Flood Hazard 

Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
