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 the 

Coast Guard was not notified of these 

events with adequate time to publish a 

NPRM, for fireworks displays that 

scheduled to occur on various dates 

between June 27, 2009 and September 

05, 2009. Any delay encountered in the 

regulation’s effective date would be 

contrary to the public interest, since the 

safety zones are needed to prevent 

traffic from transiting a portion of the 

coastal waters of Massachusetts during 

the fireworks displays thus ensuring 

that the maritime public is protected 

from any potential harm associated with 

such an event. 

For the same reason above, 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. 

Background and Purpose 

Various Massachusetts coastal cities 

are having fireworks displays on or near 

navigable waterways this summer. 

In order to maintain continuity 

between the regulations for fireworks 

events established in 33 CFR 100.114 

and the rain dates requested for the 

same events this year, this temporary 

rule suspends several special local 

regulations entries in 33 CFR PART 

100.114 FIREWORKS DISPLAY TABLE. 

It also establishes temporary safety 

zones surrounding the events as 

described in the List of Subjects. The 

proposed zones will protect the 

maritime public from the dangers 

inherent in waterborne fireworks 

displays. The Captain of the Port does 

not anticipate any negative impact on 

vessel traffic due to implementation of 

these temporary safety zones. Public 

notifications will be made prior to the 

effective period of each proposed zone 

via Broadcast and Local Notice to 

Mariners. 

Discussion of Rule 

The Coast Guard is establishing 

temporary safety zones in various 

coastal waterways throughout central 

and northern Massachusetts. The safety 

zones will be in effect for the times 

listed in the List of Subjects. Marine 

traffic will only be restricted from a 

portion of the waterway as stated in the 

List of Subjects to protect the safety of 

the maritime public. Due to the limited 

time frame of the fireworks display, the 

Captain of the Port anticipates minimal 

negative impact on vessel traffic due to 

this event. Public notifications will be 

made prior to the effective period via 

local and broadcast notice to mariners. 

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 

31352 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 125 / Wednesday, July 1, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

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. 

This is not a significant regulatory 

action because the Coast Guard does not 

anticipate any negative impact on vessel 

traffic due to implementation of these 

temporary safety zones and marine 

traffic will only be restricted from a 

portion of the waterway. Public 

notifications will be made prior to the 

effective period of each proposed zone 

via Broadcast and Local Notice to 

Mariners. 

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 proposed rule would affect the 

following entities, some of which may 

be small entities: The owners or 

operators of vessels intending to transit 

or anchor in the effected portion of the 

coastal waterways of Massachusetts at 

the times and places listed in the ‘‘List 

of Subjects’’ section. These safety zones 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities for the following reasons: This 

proposed rule would be in effect for up 

to three hours, vessel traffic can safely 

pass around the safety zone during the 

effected period, and advance 

notification via broadcast notice to 

mariners and Local Notice to Mariners 

will be made before and during the 

effective period. 

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. 

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 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 effect 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 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 125 / Wednesday, July 1, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 31353 

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 

involves the establishment of safety 

zone of limited duration. An 

environmental analysis checklist and a 

categorical exclusion determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES.
