NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

A. Regulatory History and Information 

There are two separate marine events 

addressed by this temporary regulation. 

(1) The Plaquemines Parish Fair & 

Orange Festival is an annually occurring 

event, but the sponsor did not apply for 

a marine event permit for the prior 

year’s event and the event appears to 

have no regulatory history. (2) The 

Madisonville New Year’s Eve event is 

also an annually occurring event, but 

the sponsor did not apply for a marine 

event permit for the prior year’s event, 

and the event appears to have no 

regulatory history. Upon full review of 

the details of each of each of these 

events, the Coast Guard determined that 

additional safety measures are 

necessary. 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 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)(3)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because as 

scheduled, the displays would take 

place before the full NPRM process 

could be completed. Because of the 

dangers presented by aerial barge based 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
76898 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 23, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

fireworks displays taking place on and 

over the waterway, it is in the public’s 

interest for the Coast Guard to establish 

these safety zones to protect persons 

and property during the displays. These 

displays have also been advertised to 

and planned on by the local community. 

Delaying this rule to complete the full 

NPRM process would also be 

impracticable as it would unnecessarily 

interfere with possible contractual 

obligations. While it is in the public’s 

best interest to provide this safety 

measure, the impacts on navigation are 

expected to be minimal as the safety 

zones will only be enforced for short 

durations. The Coast Guard will notify 

the public and maritime community 

that the safety zones will be in effect 

and of their enforcement periods via 

broadcast notices to mariners (BNM). 

For the same reasons, 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. 

Providing a full 30 days notice is 

contrary to the public interest as it 

would delay the effectiveness of the 

safety zones until after the planned 

fireworks events. Immediate action is 

needed to protect vessels and mariners 

from the safety hazards associated with 

aerial fireworks displays over 

waterways. 

B. Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis and authorities for this 

rule are found in 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 

U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703, 50 

U.S.C. 191. 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1; 6.04–6, 

and 160.5; Pub. L. 107–295, 116 Stat. 

2064; and Department of Homeland 

Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which 

collectively authorize the Coast Guard 

to establish and define regulatory safety 

zones. 

The Coast Guard has determined that 

this temporary rule is necessary to 

promote the safety of life on navigable 

waterways within the COTP New 

Orleans Zone during these events. (1) 

The safety fallout area for the 

Plaquemines Parish Orange Festival 

fireworks will extend 300 feet into the 

Lower Mississippi River from a point 

between MM 19.5 and MM 20.5 above 

Head of Passes (AHP). The Lower 

Mississippi River is approximately 2600 

feet wide at this location. There is room 

for vessels to pass by the safety fallout 

zone, however, the possibility of 

malfunction resulting in a firework 

being launched horizontally poses a risk 

to the chemical and oil tankers which 

frequently transit the river. (2) The 

safety fallout area for the Madisonville 

New Years Eve fireworks will extend 

500 feet in all directions from the center 

of the Tchefuncta River, one-half mile 

north of the confluence of the 

Tchefuncta River and Lake 

Pontchartrain. The Tchefuncta River is 

approximately 1050 feet wide at this 

location, which leaves no room for any 

vessel to safely pass the fireworks barge. 

C. Discussion of the Final Rule 

This temporary rule establishes two 

safety zones for two fireworks displays. 

This rule will be enforced during two 

separate dates occurring between 

December 6, 2014 and January 1, 2015. 

The events covered by this regulation 

will be enforced on the respective dates 

and times listed in the table below. 

Item 

number Name of event Date, time and location 

1 ............ Plaquemines Parish Fair and Orange Festival ......... Date: December 6, 2014, from 9:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. 

Location: The entire width of the Lower Mississippi River between MM 19.5 

and MM 20.5 above Head of Passes. 

2 ............ Madisonville New Year’s Eve Celebration ................ Date: New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2014 from 11:45 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. 

on January 1, 2015. 

Location: The entire width of the Tchefuncta River beginning at the confluence 

of the Tchefuncta River and Lake Pontchartrain and extending one mile 

north. 

Entry into, anchoring in, or remaining 

in each of these zones during the times 

stated is prohibited unless permission 

has been granted by the COTP New 

Orleans, or a designated representative. 

The COTP New Orleans will inform 

the public through broadcast noticed to 

mariners of the enforcement periods for 

the safety zones as well as any changes 

in the planned schedules. Mariners and 

other members of the public may also 

contact Coast Guard Sector New Orleans 

Command Center to inquire about the 

status of the safety zones, at (504) 365– 

2200. 

D. 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 Executive Order 12866 

or under section 1 of Executive Order 

13563. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under those 

Orders. These safety zones will restrict 

navigation on the following dates and 

locations: Thirty minutes on December 

6, 2014 between MM 19.5 and 20.5 

above Head of Passes on the Lower 

Mississippi River; and forty-five 

minutes on New Year’s Eve, December 

31, 2014–January 1, 2015 from the 

confluence of the Tchefuncta River and 

Lake Pontchartrain and extending one 

mile north. Due to the limited scope and 

short duration of the safety zones, the 

impacts on routine navigation are 

expected to be minimal. 

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 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 Lower 

Mississippi River from MM 19.5 to MM 

20.5 AHP between 9:00 p.m. and 9:30 

p.m. on December 6, 2014; and the 

Tchefuncta River from MM 0.0 to MM 

1.0 between 11:45 p.m. New Year’s Eve, 

December 31, 2014 and 12:30 a.m. on 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 23, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 76899 

January 1, 2015. This rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

because it is limited in scope and will 

only be enforced for one hour or less on 

two separate dates. Before enforcement, 

COTP New Orleans will issue maritime 

advisories widely available to users of 

the river and will make notifications to 

the public through marine band radio 

when each safety zone is being 

enforced. Additionally, deviation from 

this rule may be requested and will be 

considered on a case by case basis by 

COTP New Orleans or a COTP New 

Orleans designated representative. 

3. Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

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

we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this rule. If the rule 

would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 

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 will not call for a 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 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. We have 

analyzed this rule under that Order and 

determined that this rule 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

INTFORMATION 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 made a preliminary determination 

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 establishing one temporary 

safety zone on the Lower Mississippi 

River and one temporary safety zone on 

the Tchefuncta River. 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.

II. What rules are being withdrawn? 

In the October 27, 2014 Federal 

Register, EPA issued direct final SNURs 

for the chemical substances that are 

identified in this document. These 

direct final SNURs were issued under 

the procedures in 40 CFR part 721, 

subpart D. Because the Agency received 

a notice of intent to submit adverse 

comments, in accordance with 40 CFR 

721.160(c)(3)(ii), EPA is withdrawing 

the direct final SNURS issued for the 

following chemical substances, which 

were the subject of PMNs: 

Functionalized carbon nanotubes 

(generic), (PMN No. P–13–793); 

Propaneperoxoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, 

1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl ester, (CAS No. 

22288–41–1), (PMN No. P–14–72); Fatty 

acid amide hydrochlorides (generic), 

(PMN No: P–14–89, P–14–90, P–14–91, 

and P–14–92) Fatty acid amides 

(generic), (PMN No. P–14–158, P–14– 

159, P–14–161, P–14–162, and P–14– 

163); and Fatty acid amide acetates 

(generic), (PMN No. P–14–173, P–14– 

175, P–14–176, P–14–177, P–14–178, P–

190, P–14–191, P–14–192 and P–14– 

193). EPA intends to publish proposed 

SNURs for the chemical substances 

identified in this document. 

For further information regarding 

EPA’s direct final rulemaking 

procedures for issuing SNURs, see 40 

CFR part 721, subpart D, and the 

Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR 

31314). 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action withdraws regulatory 

requirements that have not gone into 

effect and which contain no new or 

amended requirements. As such, the 

Agency has determined that this action 

will not have any adverse impacts, 

economic or otherwise. The statutory 

and Executive Order review 

requirements applicable to the direct 

final rule were discussed in the October 

27, 2014 Federal Register. Those review 

requirements do not apply to this action 

because it is a withdrawal and does not 

contain any new or amended 

requirements. 

IV. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will 

submit a report containing this rule and 

other required information to the U.S. 

Senate, the U.S. House of 

Representatives, and the Comptroller 

General of the United States prior to 

publication of the rule in the Federal
