announced by a later notice in the 

Federal Register. 

Background and Purpose 

The establishment of a new 

anchorage, modification of existing 

anchorages, and revision of the 

regulations governing anchorages 

contained in this rule are necessary to 

ensure sufficient anchorage 

opportunities in the Captain of the Port 

Portland, Oregon, area of responsibility, 

and ensure that the locations of those 

opportunities are clear. In addition, the 

changes will help prevent conflicts with 

navigable channels and other uses of 

anchorage waters. Currently, there are 

insufficient anchorage opportunities in 

the Captain of the Port Portland, 

Oregon, area of responsibility, and many 

of them conflict with navigable 

channels and other uses of the 

anchorage waters. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The proposed rule would revise the 

following anchorages as noted. The 

Astoria North Anchorage would be 

revised to provide additional anchoring 

area and add an additional area to 

accommodate the swing of vessels. The 

Astoria South Anchorage would be 

revised to ensure that anchored vessels 

are clear of the navigable channel and 

that the anchorage correlates with 

current NOAA navigational charts. The 

Longview Anchorage would be revised 

to move it out of the navigational 

channel and expand it to account for 

vessel swing. The Kalama Anchorage 

would be revised to provide additional 

anchoring area and add an additional 

area to accommodate the swing of 

vessels. The Woodland Anchorage 

would be revised to ensure the 

anchorage correlates with current 

NOAA navigational charts. The Henrici 

Bar Anchorage would be revised to 

move it out of the navigational channel. 

The Willow Bar Anchorage would be 

renamed the Vancouver Lower 

Anchorage and revised to consolidate 

the Willow Bar Anchorage and the 

anchorage areas off of the Morgan Bar. 

The Kelley Point Anchorage would be 

revised to ensure the anchorage 

correlates with current NOAA 

navigational charts. The Hayden Island 

Anchorage would be renamed the Upper 

Vancouver Anchorage and revised to 

expand the anchorage and move the 

anchorage out of the navigational 

channel. 

The proposed rule would also create 

a new anchorage called the Cottonwood 

Island Anchorage near Cottonwood 

Island. 

The regulations governing the 

anchorages would be amended to 

remove provisions that are no longer 

necessary, due to changes in the use of 

the anchorage areas for fishing, and to 

add a provision to prevent anchoring 

vessels from entangling underground 

cables. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed 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 proposed 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 establishment of a new 

anchorage, modification of existing 

anchorages, and revision of the 

regulations governing anchorages do not 

have any significant costs associated 

with them. 

24720 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Proposed Rules 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

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

whether this proposed 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 proposed rule 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. This proposed rule would affect 

the following entities, some of which 

might be small entities: The owners or 

operators of vessels intending to transit 

or anchor in the Captain of the Port 

Portland, Oregon, area of responsibility. 

However, the establishment of a new 

anchorage, modification of existing 

anchorages, and revision of the 

regulations governing anchorages that 

would result from this rule would have 

no economic impact on small entities 

because anchorages can still be transited 

and used for other maritime activities 

besides anchoring. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on it, 

please submit a comment (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

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 proposed rule so that 

they can better evaluate its effects on 

them and participate in the rulemaking. 

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 

Waterways Management Branch, Coast 

Guard Sector, Portland, Oregon, 

telephone 503–240–9300. The Coast 

Guard will not retaliate against small 

entities that question or complain about 

this proposed rule or any policy or 

action of the Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This proposed rule would call 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 proposed 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 or more in any one year. 

Though this proposed rule would not 

result in such an expenditure, we do 

discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere 

in this preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not affect 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 proposed 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 proposed rule 

under Executive Order 13045, 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks. This rule is not an economically 

significant rule and would not create an 

environmental risk to health or risk to 

safety that might disproportionately 

affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under Executive 

Order 13175, Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments, because it would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed 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. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. This proposed rule 

involves the establishment of a new 

anchorage, modification of existing 

anchorages, and revision of the 

regulations governing anchorages in the 

Captain of the Port Portland, Oregon, 

area of responsibility, which are 

categorically excluded under section 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Proposed Rules 24721 

2.B.2 Figure 2–1, paragraph 34(f), of the 

Instruction. We seek any comments or 

information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this proposed rule.
