SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing collection of
information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal,
collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of
the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires OSHA to obtain
such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent
feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining said
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The basic purpose of the collection of information in the Asbestos
in General Industry Standard (29 CFR 1910.1001) (the Standard) is to
document that employers in general industry are

providing their workers with protection from exposure to hazardous
asbestos. Asbestos exposure results in asbestosis, an emphysema-like
condition; lung cancer; mesothelioma; and gastrointestinal cancer.
    Several provisions of the Standard require a collection of
information, including: Implementing an exposure monitoring program
that notifies workers of their exposure monitoring results,
establishing a written compliance program, and informing laundry
personnel of the requirement to prevent release of airborne asbestos
above the time-weighted average and excursion limit. Other information
collection in the Standard include: Maintaining records of information
obtained concerning the presence, location, and quantity of asbestos-
containing materials (ACMs) and/or presumed asbestos-containing
materials (PACMs) in a building/facility; notifying housekeeping
workers of the presence and location of ACMs and PACMs in areas they
may occupy during their work; and using information, data, and analyses
to demonstrate that PACMs do not contain asbestos. In addition, the
collection of information in the Standard includes: Providing medical
surveillance for workers potentially exposed to ACMs and/or PACMs,
including administering a worker medical questionnaire, providing
information to the examining physician, and providing the physician's
written opinion to the worker; maintaining records of exposure
monitoring, objective data used for exposure determinations, and
medical surveillance; and making specified records (e.g., exposure
monitoring and medical surveillance records) available to designated
parties.
    This collection of information permits employers, workers and their
designated representatives, OSHA, and other specified parties to
determine the effectiveness of an employer's asbestos-control program.
Accordingly, the requirements ensure that workers exposed to asbestos
receive all of the protections afforded by the Standard.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting an adjustment increase in the burden hours from
11,688 hours to 11,745 hours, for a total increase of 57 hours. The
increase is due to the agency's use of a new method for rounding burden
hours. Capital costs increased, from $963,650 to $1,018,728, an
increase of $55,078. This adjustment is related to increased costs to
conduct a medical examination (from $156 to $165). In addition, the
estimated costs for contract industrial hygiene services to conduct
exposure monitoring sampling increased from $50.25 to $52.52. The
increase in the exposure monitoring sampling cost is due to the
agency's use of a different method of calculating employee
compensation.
    OSHA is providing the following summary information about the
Asbestos in General Industry information collection:
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Asbestos in General Industry (29 CFR 1910.1001).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0133.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 121.
    Frequency of Responses: Varies.

    Abstract: In response to the Presidential memorandum, the
eRulemaking Program launched the Regulations.gov `feedback exchange'
Web site in May 2009. This interactive Web site will showcase new
technologies being considered for Regulations.gov. The `feedback
exchange' will serve as a learning laboratory for open government,
enabling the public to provide input on the Regulations.gov interface,
build a community of practice on the Federal regulatory development
process, and ensure that the eRulemaking Program can efficiently manage
federal resources by testing new tools before they are launched.
    The Regulations.gov `feedback exchange' Web site will provide the
public with a preview of new technologies considered for
Regulations.gov. It will also enable the public to provide feedback on
these technologies. Technologies considered for the Regulations.gov
`feedback exchange' include: User Profiles; Comment Threads and Wikis;
Ratings, Polls, and Tagging; an interactive Educational Tool; and an
Information Export capability. These technologies will be deployed
iteratively, with components deployed upon the site's release in May
2009 and during subsequent upgrades to the Web site. User profiles
enable the public to register on the site and pre-load submitter
information for later use as well as save their own personalized
searches, RSS feeds, and e-mail alerts without the use of persistent
cookies. Comment Threads allow the public to enter into virtual
conversations with one another about a topic. Wikis enable the public
to collaboratively develop and modify narrative descriptions about a
topic. Ratings and Polls allow the public to indicate a preference for
a topic or issue via the selection of stars or thumbs up/thumbs down
icons which graphically provide an at-a-glance indication of public
sentiment and can simplify navigation. Tagging provides the public with
the ability to tag or label information they or someone else has posted
to the site to ease navigation and to promote the formation of common
interest categories. The Educational Tool will inform the public about
the Federal rulemaking process through interactive text and images. The
Data Export capability enables the public to download and review the
contents of a rulemaking docket as well as mix and match such
information with other information in a new way (also known as a
``mash-up''). The Regulations.gov `feedback exchange' will rely on
voluntary feedback from Government, Industry, Academia and Citizenry to
improve Regulations.gov as time goes on.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 35
hours per year. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Anyone who chooses to visit
Regulations.gov.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1000.
    Frequency of Response: Occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 35 hours.
    Estimated Capital or Operations & Maintenance Annual Costs: $0.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
The Boeing Company Model 707 airplanes, and Model 720 and 720B series
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracking of the
midspar fittings, and of the engine and nacelle strut separating from
the airplane. This proposed AD would require performing a detailed
inspection of the midspar fittings of the nacelle strut to confirm that
the correct part number is installed, and installing the correct part
number if necessary; performing repetitive high frequency eddy current
inspections (HFEC) of the midspar fittings of the nacelle strut for
cracks, and repair if necessary; and

performing repetitive general visual inspections of the nacelle struts
to verify that the nacelle strut has not drooped below its normal
position, applying the droop stripe to the nacelle strut and sailboat
fairing if necessary, and repair if necessary. We are proposing this AD
to detect and correct cracking of the midspar fitting, which could
result in separation of the nacelle strut and engine from the airplane
while in flight, and consequent loss of controllability of the
airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 16, 2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We have received reports of fatigue cracking of the midspar
fittings, and the engine and nacelle strut separating from the
airplane. Operators have reported that the cracking occurred on more
than 40 airplanes with approximately 9,900 to 63,000 flight hours. In
addition, there has been a report of the engine number 3 nacelle strut
separating from the airplane and contacting the engine number 4 nacelle
strut, which also separated from the airplane. This condition, if not
corrected, could result in a fractured midspar fitting, which could
cause a separation of the nacelle strut and engine from the airplane
while in flight, resulting in loss of controllability of the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing 707 Alert Service Bulletin A3537, dated January
30, 2012. That service information describes procedures for:
     Performing a detailed inspection of the midspar fittings
of the engine number 2 and 3 nacelle struts to confirm that the correct
part number is installed, and installing the correct part number if
necessary.
     Performing HFEC inspections of the midspar fittings of the
engine number 2 and 3 nacelle struts for cracks, and repairing if
necessary.
     Performing repetitive general visual inspections of the
nacelle struts of engine numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 to verify that the
nacelle strut has not drooped below its normal position, applying the
droop stripe to the nacelle strut and sailboat fairing if necessary,
and repairing if necessary.
    The initial compliance times for the HFEC and general visual
inspections, and the application of the droop stripe if necessary, is
at the later of: (1) Within 1,500 flight cycles or 48 months from the
replacement of the nacelle strut inboard and outboard midspar fittings,
whichever occurs first, or (2) within 120 days.
    For the HFEC inspection, the repetitive interval is within 250
flight cycles or 12 months, whichever occurs first.
    For the general visual inspection, the repetitive interval is 30
flight cycles, except after both midspar fittings are replaced on the
strut, the next inspection would be performed within 1,500 flight
cycles or 48 months, whichever occurs first, from the replacement of
both the nacelle strut inboard and outboard midspar fittings.
    Boeing 707 Alert Service Bulletin A3537, dated January 30, 2012,
refers to Boeing 707/720 Service Bulletin 3183, Revision 5, dated
September 16, 1993, as an additional source of guidance for the HFEC
inspections of the midspar fittings of the engine number 2 and 3
nacelle struts for cracks.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service
Information.''

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Boeing 707 Alert Service Bulletin A3537, dated January 30, 2012,
specifies to contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to repair
certain conditions, but this proposed AD would require repairing those
conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

    Boeing 707 Alert Service Bulletin A3537, dated January 30, 2012,
refers to ``Manual 707, 720 NDT Part 6, 51-00-00 Figure 24 as an
accepted procedure'' for the HFEC inspection. This proposed AD would
require that the inspection must be done in accordance with Subject 51-
00-00 Figure 24, Steel Part Surface Inspection (Impedance Plane
Display), of Part 6, Eddy Current, of the Boeing 707, 720
Nondestructive Test Manual, Document D6-48023, Revision 120, dated
March 15, 2012.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 11 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

 inspections and repetitive general    hour = $1,955
 visual inspections of the midspar
 fittings of the nacelle strut.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs that
would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection. We
have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these
repairs:

    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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (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.

[Docket Number USCG-2015-0138]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; San Salvador Launch and Procession; San
Diego Bay, San Diego, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a marine event special local
regulation for the launch of the historic vessel San Salvador located
in the Captain of the Port San Diego Zone on San Diego Bay. This action
is necessary to provide for the safety of life and property on
navigable waters during this event. This special local regulation will
establish restrictions upon, and control movement of, vessels in a
portion of San Diego Bay during the initial launch and subsequent
procession of the San Salvador around a portion of San Diego Bay.
Unauthorized persons and vessels are prohibited from entering into,
transiting through or anchoring within this regulated area unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port, or his designated
representative. The Coast Guard requests public comments on the
temporary special local regulation.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The San Salvador Launch and Procession is a onetime marine event
with no regulatory history. 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 publishing an NPRM would be impracticable
since immediate action is needed to minimize potential danger to the
participants and the

public during the event. The danger posed by the volume of commercial,
public and private recreational marine traffic in San Diego Bay makes
special local regulations necessary to provide for the safety of the
crew, spectators, sponsor safety vessel, and other users of the
waterway during both the launch and procession occurring immediately
after the launch. Additionally, publishing an NPRM is unnecessary
because the area covered by the marine event special local regulations
should have negligible impact on vessel transits. Furthermore, the
necessary information to determine whether the marine event poses a
threat to persons and vessels was provided initially to the Coast Guard
less than 135 days before the event, specifically 60 days, and as only
a draft plan which is insufficient time to publish an NPRM. We wish to
take immediate action to help protect the safety of the participants,
crew, spectators, and participating vessels from other vessels during
the one day event. For the information for all mariners, it is
important to have these regulations in effect during the event and
impracticable to delay the regulations. For these same reasons, the
Coast Guard finds good cause for implementing this rule less than
thirty days before the effective date.
    Even though the normal comment process was shortened for this rule,
we are providing an opportunity for public comment and, should public
comment show the need for modifications to the regulated area during
the event, we may make those modifications during the event and will
provide actual notice of those modifications to the affected public.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to issue
regulations to promote the safety of life on navigable waters during
regattas or marine parades: 33 U.S.C. 1233.
    The Coast Guard was notified by the San Diego Maritime Museum that
the vessel San Salvador, a recreation of the original Spanish
exploration sailing vessel used by the explorer, Juan Rodriquez
Cabrillo, will be launched and towed to its final mooring space at the
San Diego Maritime Museum on April 19, 2015. The launch and procession
will require the immediate area adjacent to the downtown San Diego
Embarcadero between Broadway and B Street Piers to be clear of all
vessel traffic during the crane barge lift of the vessel, launch and
subsequent parade. The parade route during the one-hour procession will
go from the planned launch site at Broadway Pier south along the
Embarcadero and returning north to the Maritime Museum, roughly a two
mile transit. This rule establishes a fifty-yard wide exclusion area
for the safe transit of the vessel San Salvador.
    If an alternate emergency launch site is required along the
Embarcadero other than the Broadway Pier, the Coast Guard Captain of
the Port will adjust the marine event special local regulations to
ensure the safety of all participants, safety vessels and spectators
during the launch and adjustment of the procession length. During the
enforcement of the event, the Coast Guard will issue a broadcast notice
to mariners (BNM) alert via VHF Channel 16 to notify the public of any
course changes.
    The Captain of the Port of San Diego has determined that
establishing a temporary marine event special local regulation on the
navigable waters of the San Diego Bay will ensure public safety for the
launch and procession. This special local regulation is necessary to
provide for the safety of the crew, spectators, sponsor safety vessel,
and other users of the waterway.

D. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing marine event special local
regulations that will be enforced from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on April
19, 2015. This special local regulation is necessary to provide for the
safety of the crew, event participants and spectators of the event and
to protect other vessels and users of the waterway. Persons and vessels
will be prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or anchoring
within this regulated area unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port, or his designated representative.
    The special local regulation will encompass a portion of the
navigable waters of San Diego Bay within twenty-five yards on either
side of a predetermined course starting from the Broadway Pier, heading
southeast past the Embarcadero, crossing the federal channel before
buoy 24 at position (North American Datum of 1983, World Geodetic
System, 1984) 32[deg]41.55 N, 117[deg]09.54 W, heading northwest past
Coronado Landing, crossing the federal channel again before buoy 22 at
position (North American Datum of 1983, World Geodetic System, 1984)
32[deg]42.31 N, 117[deg]10.43, then heading north and culminating at
the Maritime Museum Pier. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within
the regulated area is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port San Diego or his designated on-scene representative.
    If an alternate emergency launch site is required along the
Embarcadero other than the Broadway Pier, the Coast Guard Captain of
the Port will adjust the marine event special local regulations to
ensure the safety of all participants, safety vessels and spectators
during the launch and adjustment of the procession length.
    Before the effective period, the Coast Guard will publish a local
notice to mariners (LNM). During the enforcement of the event, the
Coast Guard will issue a broadcast notice to mariners (BNM) alert via
VHF Channel 16.

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. We expect the economic
impact of this proposed rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation is unnecessary. This determination is based on the size,
location and limited duration of the regulated area. The special local
regulation is designed in a way to limit impacts on vessel traffic
while permitting vessels to navigate in other portions of the waterways
not designated as a regulated area.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the impacted portion of the San Diego

Bay from 8:00 a.m. through 1:00 p.m. on April 19, 2015.
    This regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. Vessel
traffic can pass safely around the regulated area adjacent to the
Embarcadero and the procession regatta. The Coast Guard will publish a
local notice to mariners (LNM) and will issue broadcast notice to
mariners (BNM) alerts via VHF Channel 16 before the special local
regulation is enforced.

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 will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

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

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have 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 the establishment of a special local
regulation on the navigable waters of San Diego Bay. This rule is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraphs 35(b) and
34(h) 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 comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of significant environmental impacts from this rule.

    (a) Regulated area. A regulated area is established to include all
navigable waters of San Diego Bay within twenty-five yards of the
vessel san Salvador and the predetermined course starting from the
waters of the basin between B Street Pier and Broadway Pier upon the
initial preparation and launch of the San Salvador vessel. Once the
vessel is floated, the regulated area will include the waters heading
southeast past the Embarcadero, crossing the federal

channel before buoy 24 at position (North American Datum of 1983, World
Geodetic System, 1984) 32[deg]41.55 N, 117[deg]09.54 W, heading
