[Docket Number USCG-2016-1011]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Great Egg Harbor Bay, Marmora, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
waters of Great Egg Harbor Bay in Marmora, NJ. The safety zone includes
all waters within 500 yards of a blasting vessel and equipment being
used to conduct bridge pile blasting operations, which is the final
phase of the demolition of the Route 9, Beesley Point Bridge bascule
span. This safety zone will only be enforced during times of explosive
detonation. The safety zone will temporarily restrict vessel traffic
from transiting or anchoring in a portion of the Great Egg Harbor Bay
while pile blasting and removal operations are being conducted to
facilitate the removal of bridge piles from the demolished Route 9,
Beesley Point Bridge.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from November 21,
2016 through November 24, 2016. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from November 15, 2016, until November 21, 2016.
During this period the safety zone will only be enforced during times
of explosive detonation.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    In June 2013, demolition work began on the Route 9, Beesley Point
Bridge between Somers Point and Marmora, NJ. Route 52 Construction, the
company performing this demolition work, has completed all demolition
of the bridge and piles except the portion of the bridge which has the
bascule span opening for the navigational channel. The removal of the
remaining piles, which are secured to the sea floor bed, will be
completed by using explosives after which the piles and debris will be
removed. The Captain of the Port has determined that potential hazards
associated with pile blasting operations, beginning on or about
November 15, 2016, will be a safety concern for anyone operating within
500 yards of pile blasting operations during times of explosive
detonation.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary 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 final details for this event were
not received by the Coast Guard until November 8, 2016, and the safety
zone is needed for blasting and demolition operations which will begin
November 15, 2016. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM and consider
comments due to the short window of time until the operation begins.
Allowing this event to go forward without a safety zone in place would
expose mariners and the public to unnecessary dangers associated with
explosive detonation.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register for the reasons we
stated above. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be
contrary to public interest because the safety zone is needed to begin
on November 15, 2016, to protect the public from safety hazards
associated with explosive detonation.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port has determined that potential hazards are
associated with demolition and pile blasting operations of the Route 9,
Beesley Point Bridge, over the Great Egg Harbor Bay, in Marmora, NJ,
from November 15, 2016, through November 24, 2016. The rule will
provide a safety buffer around the blasting vessel during times of
explosive detonation.
    The purpose of this rule is to promote maritime safety and protect
vessels from the hazards of bridge demolition and pile blasting
operations, and to maintain safety of navigation in the Great Egg
Harbor Bay, in the vicinity of the Route 9, Beesley Point Bridge. The
rule will provide a safety buffer around the crane and barge while
demolition operations are conducted, and will provide a safety buffer
around the blasting vessel during times of explosive detonation.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    On November 15, 2016, demolition work will begin on the remaining
portion of the Route 9, Beesley Point Bridge, over the Great Egg Harbor
Bay, in Marmora, NJ. The Captain of the Port has determined that the
hazards associated with demolition and pile blasting operations
requires a safety zone.
    The safety zone will be enforced starting on or after November 15,
2016, only during times of explosive detonation, and encompasses all
navigable waters in the Great Egg Harbor Bay within 500 yards of
vessels and machinery being used to conduct pile blasting and removal
operations. The duration of the enforcement of the zone is intended to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these
navigable waters while explosive detonation occurs. There will be two
blasting events occurring on consecutive days to complete both piers.
Actual dates and times of explosive detonation will be published with a
combination of broadcast notice to mariners, local notice to mariners,
posted warning signs, 500 yard marine traffic safety zone maintained by
the contractors safety boats, a 10 minute, 5 minutes, and 1 minute
warning made by the blasting vessel via VHF-FM channel 16,

and warning signals at 5 minutes with 3 short blasts of the air horn,
and 1 minute warning of 2 short blasts of the air horn. The schedule of
the signals will be posted along with warning signs. The contractor
will verify that all vessels and persons are clear of safety zone 10
minutes prior to the scheduled shot time and will remain secured until
the blaster gives the ``All Clear'' that the channel is clear for
vessels to transit.
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
designated representative. No vessels may transit through the safety
zone during times of explosive detonation. During pile blasting
explosive detonation, vessels will be required to maintain a 500 yard
distance from vessels and equipment used to conduct pile blasting and
removal operations. This 500 yard radius will be secured by two
contractor safety boats in the adjacent waterways.

V. Regulatory Analysis

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive order related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has not been designated
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget.
    This finding is based on the limited size of the zone and that
vessels will only be affected during times of explosive detonation. In
addition, the zone will be well publicized to allow mariners to make
alternative plans for transiting the affected area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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.
    It is expected that there will be minimal disruption to the
maritime community. Before the effective period, the Coast Guard will
issue maritime advisories widely available to users of the river to
allow mariners to make alternative plans for transiting the affected
areas. In addition, vessels may transit the navigation channel, except
during time of explosive detonation.
    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
section.
    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.

C. 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).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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 have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. 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.

F. 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 (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 safety zone encompassing all navigable waters in the
Great Egg Harbor Bay within 500 yards of vessels and machinery being
used to conduct pile blasting and removal operations during times of
explosive detonation. It 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.

G. 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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP18-332-000]

El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed South Mainline Expansion
Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the South
Mainline Expansion Project, proposed by El Paso Natural Gas Company (El
Paso) in the above-referenced docket. El Paso requests authorization to
construct two new natural gas compressor stations on its existing South
Mainline pipeline system in Luna County, New Mexico and Cochise County,
Arizona and a 17-mile, 30-inch-diameter loop line in El Paso and
Hudspeth Counties, Texas.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the South Mainline Expansion Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed
project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
    The proposed South Mainline Expansion Project includes the
following facilities:
     A new 13,220 horsepower compressor station in Luna County,
New Mexico (``Red Mountain Compressor Station'');
     a new 13,220 horsepower compressor station in Cochise
County, Arizona (``Dragoon Compressor Station'');
     approximately 17-miles of 30-inch-outside diameter loop
line extension of existing Line 1110 between milepost (MP) 174.5 and MP
191.5 in Hudspeth and El Paso counties, Texas.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability to
federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies;
elected officials; Native American tribes; potentially affected
landowners and other interested individuals and groups; and newspapers
and libraries in the project area. The EA is only available in
electronic format. It may be viewed and downloaded from the FERC's
website (www.ferc.gov), on the Environmental Documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis.asp). In addition, the EA may be

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Airbus Model A300 B4-600 and A300 B4-600R series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by reports of cracks found in certain bottom wing skin
stringers during full-scale fatigue testing and in service. This AD
requires modifying the profile of stringer run-outs of both wings,
including a high frequency eddy current inspection of the fastener
holes for defects and, if necessary, repairs. We are issuing this AD to
prevent cracking in the bottom wing skin stringers, which could result
in reduced structural integrity of the wings.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 21, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 21,
2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus Model A300
B4-600 and A300 B4-600R series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on August 1, 2013 (78 FR 46536). The NPRM was prompted
by reports of cracks found in the bottom wing skin stringers at rib 14
during full-scale fatigue testing and in service. The NPRM proposed to
require modifying the profile of stringer run-outs at rib 14 of both
wings, including a high frequency eddy current inspection of the
fastener holes for defects and repairs if necessary. We are issuing
this AD to prevent cracking in the bottom wing skin stringers, which
could result in reduced structural integrity of the wings.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2013-0008R1, dated January 22, 2013 (referred
to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    During full-scale fatigue testing, cracks were detected in the
bottom wing skin stringers at rib 14. In addition, A300 aeroplane
operators have also reported finding cracks in the same area.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could impair the
structural integrity of the wings.
    Additional analysis results showed that the improved design of
the stringer run-out is necessary for aeroplanes operating beyond
the ESG 1 [extended service goal 1: 42,500 flight cycles].
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires the
removal of the stringer end run-out plate at stringer 19 on the
bottom wing skin and the re-profiling modification of the stringers
10, 11, 12, 17 and 19.
* * * * *
The modification also includes doing a high frequency eddy current

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM (78 FR
46536, August 1, 2013) and the FAA's response to the comment.

Request To Refer to New Service Information

    UPS requested that the source of work instructions for
accomplishing the proposed actions be revised to Airbus Mandatory
Service Bulletin A300-57-6046, Revision 02, dated June 21, 2013. UPS
noted that the NPRM (78 FR 46536, August 1, 2013) referenced Airbus
Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-6046, Revision 01, dated April 18,
2011, as the source of work instructions.
    We agree. We have revised paragraph (g) of this final rule to refer
to Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-6046, Revision 02, dated
June 21, 2013, instead. We have revised paragraph (i) of this AD to
also identify Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-6046, Revision
01, dated April 18, 2011, as an acceptable source of instructions if
those actions are accomplished before the effective date of this AD.

Additional Change

    We have revised paragraph (g) of this final rule to clarify when
the applicable repairs are required to be done.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 46536, August 1, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 46536, August 1, 2013).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 29 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

              Action                     Labor cost            Parts cost           product         operators

 stringer run-outs.                  per hour = $5,100.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for any on-condition actions specified in this AD. We
have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need this
repair.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[GU122-NBK; FRL 9923-01-Region 9]

 Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Guam

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is completing the
process begun in 2005 to revise the format of the ``identification of
plan'' section in 40 CFR part 52 for the Guam State Implementation Plan
(SIP). Specifically, the EPA is adding the nonregulatory provisions and
quasi-regulatory measures to the revised ``identification of plan''
section. The nonregulatory provisions and quasi-regulatory measures
affected by this format revision have been previously submitted by the
Territory of Guam and approved by the EPA.

DATES: This rule is effective on February 18, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Nonregulatory and quasi-regulatory SIP materials are
available for inspection at Air Division, EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne
Street, San Francisco, 94105-3901 and online at EPA Region IX's Web
site.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Gong, Rules Office (AIR-4), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX,<PHONE_NUMBER>,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and
``our'' refer to the EPA.

II. Public Comments
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    Under the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act''), each state is required to
have a state implementation plan (SIP) which contains the control
measures and strategies which will be used to attain and maintain the
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The SIP is extensive,
containing such elements as emission inventories, monitoring networks,
attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms. The control
measures and strategies must be formally adopted by each state after
the public has had an opportunity to comment on them. They are then
submitted to the EPA as SIP revisions on which the EPA must formally
act.
    The SIP is a living document which can be revised by the state as
necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the state.
Therefore, the EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions
which may contain new or revised regulations as being part of the SIP.
On May 31, 1972 (37 FR 10842), the EPA approved, with certain
exceptions, the initial SIPs for 50 states, four territories and the
District of Columbia. Since 1972, each state and territory has
submitted numerous SIP revisions, either on their own initiative, or
because they were required to as a result of various amendments to the
CAA. The EPA codifies its approvals and disapprovals of SIPs and SIP
revisions in 40 CFR part 52 (``Approval and promulgation of
implementation plans'').
    Within 40 CFR part 52, there are 58 subparts (subparts A through
FFF). Subpart A contains general provisions and certain requirements
applicable to all states and territories, while subparts B through DDD
and FFF contain requirements that are specific to a given state or
territory. Subpart EEE contains historical information pertaining to
the EPA's actions on SIP material originally submitted by states to the
National Air Pollution Control Administration, Department of Health
Education and Welfare in 1970.
    Until 1997, the first or second section of each subpart within 40
CFR part 52 (other than subparts A and EEE) was called ``identification
of plan.'' On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), the EPA established a new
format for the ``identification of plan'' sections assigned to each
subpart in 40 CFR part 52 (except A and EEE). With the new format,
revised ``identification of plan'' sections contain five subsections:
(a) Purpose and scope, (b) Incorporation by reference, (c) EPA approved
regulations, (d) EPA approved source specific permits, and (e) EPA
approved nonregulatory provisions and quasi-regulatory measures.
``Nonregulatory provisions and quasi-regulatory measures'' refers to
such items as transportation control measures, certain statutory
provisions, control strategies, and monitoring networks. In our May
1997 rule, we indicated that the EPA would begin to phase-in the new
format on a state-by-state basis. Please see our May 1997 rule for more
information concerning the revised format for SIPs.
    The Guam SIP is identified in subpart AAA (``Guam'') of part 52. As
with other State SIPs, the EPA has taken a number of actions since 1972
with respect to the Guam SIP. In 2005, we revised the format of the
``identification of plan'' section in subpart AAA in accordance with
the revised format described above. See 70 FR 20473 (April 20, 2005).
In our 2005 final rule, we did not complete the process of revising the
format for the ``identification of plan'' section in that we did not
list the nonregulatory provisions and quasi-regulatory measures portion
of the Guam SIP, but we are doing so in today's action.

II. Public Comments

    The EPA has determined that today's rule falls under the ``good
cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) that, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes
agencies to dispense with public participation; and section 553(d)(3),
which allows an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby
avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in
the APA). Today's rule simply revises the codification of provisions
that are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved
State programs. Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good
cause where procedures are ``impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Public comment is ``unnecessary'' and ``contrary
to the public interest'' since the codification only reflects existing
law. Immediate notice in the CFR benefits the public by clearly
identifying the current nonregulatory provisions and quasi-regulatory
measures of the Guam SIP.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). Because the
agency has made a ``good cause'' finding that this action is not
subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute as indicated in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION (II. Public Comments) section above, it is not subject to
the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). In addition, this
action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments or
impose a significant intergovernmental

mandate, as described in sections 203 or 204 of UMRA.
    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will
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, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism
implications because it does not have substantial direct effects 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This rule also is not subject to Executive
Order 13045 ``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks
and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not an
economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety
risks.
    This rule does not involve technical standards; thus the
requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule
also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice
related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994). This rule does not impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to make a rule
effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes
a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is impracticable,
unnecessary or contrary to the public internet. Today's action simply
reformats the codification of provisions that are already in effect as
a matter of law in Federal and approved State programs. 5 U.S.C.
808(2). As stated previously, the EPA has made such a good cause
finding, including the reasons therefore, and established an effective
date of February 18, 2015. The EPA will submit a report containing this
action 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 Register. A
major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in
the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    The EPA has also determined that the provisions of section
307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for judicial
review are not applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions
for each individual component of the Guam SIP compilation had
previously afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a
petition for judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus,
the EPA sees no need to reopen the 60-day period for filing such
petitions for judicial review for this reformatting of portions of the
``Identification of plan'' section of 40 CFR 52.2670 for Guam.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2009-0565]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Oak Island, NC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
waters of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at Oak Island, North
Carolina. The safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of
life on navigable waters during the installation of bridge girders at
the new high-level fixed highway bridge at the second crossing to Oak
Island, North Carolina.

DATES: This rule is effective from 7 a.m. on July 22, 2009 through 5:30
p.m. on August 12, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Comments and materials received from the public, as well as

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)(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 immediate action is needed to
protect the maritime public from the hazards associated with the
installation of bridge girders, including the use of heavy equipment
and falling debris. The necessary information to determine whether the
installation project posed a threat to persons and vessels was not
provided with sufficient time to publish an NPRM. For the safety
concerns noted, it is in the public interest to have this regulation in
place during the girder installation.
    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. Delaying the effective date would
be contrary to public interest, since immediate action is needed to
ensure the public's safety from the hazards noted above.

Background and Purpose

    The State of North Carolina Department of Transportation awarded a
contract to Lee Construction Company of the Carolinas, Inc. of
Charlotte, North Carolina, to perform bridge girder installation at the
new high-level fixed highway bridge at the second crossing to Oak
Island, North Carolina. The contract provides for the installation of 8
bridge girders. The center bridge girder installation is scheduled to
begin on July 22, 2009 through July 29, 2009 between the hours of 7
a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day. The contractor will be utilizing a deck
barge with a 55' beam, a 450 ton ringer crane on a stationary barge
with an 85' beam, and assist tug to conduct the girder installation.
This operation presents a potential hazard to mariners from falling
debris and the use of heavy equipment and machinery. To provide for the
safety of the public, the Coast Guard will temporarily restrict access
to this section of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway during girder
installation.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone to
encompass the waters of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway extending
250 yards in all directions from the main construction site. All
vessels are prohibited from transiting this section of the waterway
while the safety zone is in effect. Entry into the zone will not be
permitted except as specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port
or a designated representative. To seek permission to transit the area,
mariners can contact Sector North Carolina at telephone number (252)
247-4570. This zone will be enforced from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day,
from July 22, 2009 through August 12, 2009. The enforcement period is
scheduled to run longer than the planned operation to account for any
delays in construction. The Captain of the Port may cancel enforcement
of the safety zone if construction is completed before August 12.

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 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.
    Although this regulation will restrict access to the area, the
effect of this rule will not be significant because: (i) The safety
zone will be in effect for a limited duration of time, (ii) the Coast
Guard will give advance notification via maritime advisories so
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly, and (iii) vessels may be
granted permission to transit the area by the Captain of the Port or a
designated representative.

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 will effect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: the owners or operators of tug and barge,
recreational, and fishing vessels intending to transit the specified
portion of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
beginning July 22, 2009 through August 12, 2009.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. This
rule will be in effect for only a limited time each day. Although the
safety zone will apply to the entire width of the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway, vessel traffic can use alternate waterways to transit safely
around the safety zone. Before the effective period, the Coast Guard
will issue maritime advisories widely available to the users of the
waterway.

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 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.
    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 establishes a temporary safety
zone to protect the public from bridge construction operations. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
