33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2013-0329]
RIN 1625-AA11

Regulated Navigation Area; Maine Kennebec Bridge Construction
Zone, Kennebec River, Richmond, ME

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary interim rule with request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a regulated navigation area
(RNA) on the navigable waters of the Kennebec River surrounding the
Maine Kennebec Bridge between Richmond, ME, and Dresden, ME. This RNA
allows the Coast Guard to enforce speed and wake restrictions and
prohibit all vessel traffic through the RNA during bridge replacement
operations, both planned and unforeseen, that could pose an imminent
hazard to persons and vessels operating in the area. This rule is
necessary to provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters
during the replacement of the bridge. The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule due to the exigent circumstances and invites comments to
modify or amend the rule as necessary.

DATES: This rule is effective and will be enforced from September 1,
2013, through December 31, 2016.
    Comments and related material may be received by the Coast Guard
through the effective period.
    Requests for public meetings must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before September 20, 2013.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary interim 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 publishing
an NPRM would be impracticable for the reasons described below. The
Coast Guard will consider comments in issuing a subsequent temporary
interim rule or temporary final rule.
    On April 26, 2013, Coast Guard conducted a meeting with the Maine
Department of Transportation (MEDOT) to discuss the Maine Kennebec
Bridge. During that meeting, the Coast Guard was informed that the
contract for construction and demolition of the bridge was out to bid
and work was expected to start September 1, 2013. This late submission
did not give the Coast Guard enough time to publish an NPRM, take
public comments, and issue a final rule before work begins in September
2013.
    It would be impracticable to delay promulgating this rule, as work
is scheduled to begin on September 1, 2013, as it is necessary to
protect the safety of both the construction crew and the waterway users
operating in the vicinity of the bridge construction zone. A delay or
cancellation of the currently ongoing bridge rehabilitation project in
order to accommodate a full notice and comment period would delay
necessary operations, result in increased costs, and delay the date
when the bridge is expected to reopen for normal operations. The Coast
Guard believes it would be impracticable to delay this regulation. At
any time, the Coast Guard may publish an amended rule if necessary to
address public concerns.
    For the same reasons mentioned 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.

C. Basis and Purpose

    Under the Ports and Waterways Safety Act, 33 U.S.C. 1221 et. seq.,
and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, the Coast
Guard has the authority to establish RNAs in defined water areas that
are determined to have hazardous conditions and in which vessel traffic
can be regulated in the interest of safety.
    This rulemaking is prompted by the navigation safety situation
created by demolition and subsequent reconstruction of the Maine
Kennebec Bridge. The Coast Guard has discussed this project with MEDOT
to determine whether the project can be completed without channel
closures. While the majority of construction activities during the span
of this project will not require waterway closures, there are certain
tasks that can only be completed in the channel and will require
closing the waterway. The demolition and construction of the bridge
will be extremely complex and presents many safety hazards including
overhead crane operations, overhead cutting operations, potential
falling debris, and barges positioned in the channel with a restricted
ability to maneuver. At present, MEDOT has not submitted a plan for
waterway closures as the bridge contract is still under negotiation.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to provide for safety on the
navigable waters in the regulated area during bridge reconstruction.

D. Discussion of the Interim Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing an RNA on the navigable waters of
the Kennebec River surrounding the Maine Kennebec River Bridge which
spans from Richmond to Dresden, ME. This RNA allows the Captain of the
Port Sector Northern New England (COTP) to establish speed and wake
restrictions and to prohibit vessel traffic on this portion of the
river for limited periods

when necessary for the safety of vessels and workers during
construction work in the channel. The Coast Guard will enforce a six
knot speed limit as well as a ``NO WAKE'' zone and will be able to
close the designated area to all vessel traffic under any
circumstances, planned or unforeseen, that pose an imminent threat to
waterway users or construction operations in the area. Complete
waterway closures will be minimized to that period absolutely necessary
and made with as much advanced notice as possible. During closures,
mariners may request permission from the COTP to transit through the
RNA.
    Entry into, anchoring, or movement within this RNA during a closure
is prohibited unless authorized by the COTP or a designated
representative.
    If the project is completed before December 31, 2016, the COTP will
suspend enforcement of the RNA. The COTP will ensure that any notice of
the suspension of enforcement reaches affected segments of the public
by all appropriate means. Such means of notification could include, but
would not be limited to, Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local Notice
to Mariners.

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 Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The Coast Guard determined that this rulemaking will not be a
significant regulatory action for the following reasons: vessel traffic
will only be restricted from the RNA for limited durations and the RNA
covers only a small portion of the navigable waterway. Advanced public
notifications will also be made to local mariners through appropriate
means, which could include, but would not be limited to, Local Notice
to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners. Finally, during closures,
mariners may request permission from the COTP to transit through the
RNA.

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 will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to enter
or transit within the RNA during a vessel restriction period.
    The RNA will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: the RNA
would be of limited size and any waterway closure of short duration.
Additionally before the effective period of a waterway closure,
advanced public notifications will be made to local mariners through
appropriate means, which could include, but would not be limited to,
Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    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.

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
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 would 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 would 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 From Environmental Health Risks

    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 would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that might 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 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use 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.

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 restricting vessel movement within a
regulated navigation area. 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.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP08-93-000]

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

March 27, 2008.
    Take notice that on March 19, 2008, Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in
Docket No. CP08-93-000 an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 157 of the Commission's regulations for
permission and approval to abandon in-place compression facilities at
its Kermit compressor station, located in Winkler County, Texas, all as
more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed
on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter
the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY,
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, Northern proposes to abandon in-place two compressor
units: A G.E. 9,300 horsepower unit and a Solar 1,080 horsepower unit
and station piping at its Kermit compressor station. Northern states
that the two units were damaged during a fire and explosion in the
spring of 2003. Northern avers that no physical construction activities
will occur to abandon the compressor units in-place since the units
were severed from the station piping and disconnected after the fire
and

explosion were contained. Northern declares that it will retain the
compressor station yard along with the office building for Northern's
personnel to utilize. Northern avers that a by-pass pipeline around the
compressor station was constructed and is now in operation and service
has been restored. Northern states that the abandonment would not
impact any firm service obligations to Northern's existing shippers
since the pipeline facilities, including the relocated by-pass
pipeline, will have the capacity to continue full, uninterrupted
service.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Michael T. Loeffler, Senior Director of Certificates and External
Affairs, Northern Natural Gas Company, 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha,
Nebraska 68124, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing''
link.

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of
self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not
institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice
of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides
notification that the entity making the filing has determined the
facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The filings in the above proceedings are accessible in the
Commission's eLibrary system by clicking on the appropriate link in the
above list. They are also available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an eSubscription link
on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail notification
when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For assistance with
any FERC Online service, please e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON D. C., 20460 OFFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES PC Code No. 055459 DP Barcode: D314492 D321332 D321334 Date: March 23, 2006 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: EFED Drinking Water Assessment for the IR 4 Tolerance Petition for Use of Quinoxyfen on Lettuce, Strawberries, Melons, Peppers ( Bell and Non bell), and Eggplants TO: Sidney Jackson, Risk Manager Reviewer Daniel Rosenblatt, Risk Manager Registration Division FROM: Cheryl A. Sutton, Ph. D., Environmental Scientist Environmental Risk Branch IV Environmental Fate and Effects Division ( 7507C)

APPROVED BY: Elizabeth Behl, Branch Chief Environmental Risk Branch IV Environmental Fate and Effects Division ( 7507C)

The Environmental Fate and Effects Division ( EFED) has completed its drinking water assessment in support of the IR 4 tolerance petition for the use of quinoxyfen ( Quintec 7 22.58% active ingredient; 2.08 lb ai/ gal.; PC Code 055459) as a fungicide on lettuce, strawberries, melons, peppers ( bell and non bell), and eggplant to control powdery mildew ( Erysiphe cichoracearum, Sphaerotheca macularis, Sphaerotheca fuliginea, or Leveillula taurica ). Quinoxyfen is proposed for use as a ground spray/ foliar application with up to 4 applications of 0.097 lbs a. i./ A ( 6 oz. Quintec) with a 10 day minimum re application interval, for a maximum total application rate of 0.39 lbs a. i./ A/ crop ( 24 oz. Quintec). For the purposes of determining EDWC's, EFED has made the assumption that the label rate expressed in terms of " per crop" is synonymous with an annual rate. The use of quinoxyfen on multiple crops of lettuce or other agricultural commodity at a single site during the year may require an additional assessment.

The A EFED Risk Assessment for the Section 3 Registration of Quinoxyfen @

( DP Barcodes: D278515, D285770, D286376) was completed in August 2003; uses included in the assessment were grapes, hops and cherries. In that assessment, estimated drinking water concentrations ( EDWC) for use in the human health risk assessment were determined using a maximum annual application rate for cherries of 0.55 lb a. i./ A ( five

2

applications of 0.114 lb a. i./ A/ application). Because the label did not provide for a minimum application interval at the time the assessment was conducted, a default of 1 day was utilized.

Because maximum application rates for the proposed uses on lettuce, strawberries, melons, peppers, and eggplants do not exceed the previous maximum application rate for any crop, and because the previous HED assessment indicated that the previously estimated drinking water levels ( at a higher application rate and shorter re application interval) were not a concern, the EDWC =

s generated for the Section 3 Risk Assessment ( dated 8/ 4/ 2003), presented below in Table 1, are still current and are recommended for use in HED =

s risk assessment. All input parameter values used for modeling are presented below in Tables 2 and 3. Other details of the Tier I ( used for groundwater) and Tier II ( used for surface water) modeling processes can be located in the Section 3 Risk Assessment. For further details on the environmental fate of quinoxyfen, please see the complete risk assessment.

None of the four studies met EFED's criteria for use of the results in estimating a foliar dissipation rate. Some of the criteria not met were that the entire plant was not analyzed, data were not reported for at least 3 sampling periods, and that sampling was not conducted immediately following application ( i. e., there were no time 0 samples).

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2019-0302]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Cape Fear River, Wilmington, NC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
navigable waters of the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, North
Carolina. This temporary safety zone is intended to restrict vessel
traffic on the Cape Fear River from September 11, 2019, through
December 15, 2019, while work crews replace power transmission lines
crossing over the river. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit
vessels or persons from being in the safety zones unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) North Carolina or a
designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from September 11,
2019, through September 12, 2019. For the purposes of enforcement,
actual notice will be used from September 12, 2019 through December 15,
2019. This rule will be enforced from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on
September 11 through 13, September 24 through 26, October 15 through
17, and October 29 through 31, 2019. These times and dates may change
due to weather and equipment delivery changes.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On April 23, 2019, Duke Energy provided the Coast Guard with
details concerning the upgrading of towers and replacement of power
transmission lines crossing over the Cape Fear River near Wilmington,
North Carolina, to be conducted from July 15, 2019, through October 31,
2019. Work will be done on two steel towers located at approximate
positions 34[deg]08'52'' N, 077[deg]57'14'' W and 34[deg]08'59'' N,
077[deg]56'56'' W (NAD 1983), and the power transmission lines
suspended between those towers. This upgrade process will require the
complete closure of the navigation channel on multiple days during the
stated upgrade period. In response, on May 24, 2019, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone;
Cape Fear River, Wilmington, NC (84 FR 24061) that proposed a safety
zone within 100 yards of the power transmission line crossing. There,
we stated why we issued the NPRM and invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to the replacement of power transmission
lines over the Cape Fear River. No comments were received during our
comment solicitation period which ran through June 24, 2019. During the
comment period, Duke Energy requested to change the work period to
September through mid-December, instead of mid-July through the end of
October, as proposed in the NPRM.
    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 of
this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed protect persons, vessels, and the
marine environment on the navigable waters of the Cape Fear River while
power transmission lines are replaced over the water.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port (COTP) North
Carolina has determined that potential safety hazards associated with
power transmission line replacement work would be a concern for anyone
transiting the Cape Fear River. The purpose of this rule is to protect
persons, vessels, and the marine environment on the Cape Fear River
while power transmission lines are replaced over the water.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published May
24, 2019. There is a change in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule, shifting the work period. Due to equipment delivery
delays, Duke Energy changed the work period to September through mid-
December 2019, instead of mid-July through the end of October, as
proposed in the NPRM.
    Additionally, in paragraph (a), ``Location'' we changed the word
``areas'' to ``area.''
    This rule establishes a safety zone on a portion of the Cape Fear
River from September 11 through December 15, 2019, 2019, to be enforced
while Duke Energy replaces power transmission lines over the river.
Duke Energy reports its work crews will need to access the navigation
channel for twelve eight-hour days, three days at a time, over four
separate weeks in order to replace the power transmission lines. Due to
the nature of the work and the hazards it presents to workers and the
public, the COTP has identified the need to close that Cape Fear River
in the vicinity of the power line crossing while this work is ongoing.
On days the safety zone will be enforced, the effected section of the
river will be closed from 6:30 a.m. through 2:30 p.m. Currently, the
planned enforcement dates are September 11th through 13th, September
24th through 26th, October 15th through 17th, and October 29th through
31st, 2019. These times and dates may change due to weather and
equipment delivery changes. Exact dates and times will be announced by
broadcast notice to mariners at least two days prior to each closure.
This safety zone will include all navigable waters of the Cape Fear
River within 100 yards of the power transmission line crossing, from
approximate position 34[deg]08'49'' N, 077[deg]57'32'' W, then
northeast to 34[deg]09'07'' N, 077[deg]56'41'' W, then south along the
shoreline to 34[deg]09'03'' N, 077[deg]56'41'' W, then southwest to
34[deg]08'42'' N, 077[deg]57'28'' W, then north along the shoreline to
the point of origin. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone unless specifically authorized by the COTP or a designated
representative. Vessels with an air draft less than 30 feet will be
permitted to pass through the safety zone approximately every two hours
during enforcement, when directed by the Coast Guard or designated
security vessels.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders 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 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the proposed safety zone. Vessels will not be
allowed to enter or transit a portion of the Cape Fear River during
active power transmission line replacement as above. Specific
enforcement dates and times for channel closures will be broadcast at
least 48 hours in advance and vessels will be able to transit the Cape
Fear River at all other times. The Coast Guard will issue a Local
Notice to Mariners and transmit a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-
FM marine channel 16 regarding the safety zone. Because this portion of
the Cape Fear River is a high traffic area, we created this rule to
accommodate smaller vessels so that vessels with an air draft less than
30 feet will be permitted to pass through the safety zone approximately
every two hours during enforcement, when directed by the Coast Guard or
designated security vessels.

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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    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.

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
Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
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 lasting 96 hours over 12
separate days that will prohibit entry within 100 yards of power
transmission lines over the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, NC. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) in
Table 3-1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing
Procedures 5090.1. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting
this determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

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.
