Discussion

    The FAA received a report of cracks in the tailcone and horizontal
stabilizer attachment structure on a Textron (type certificate
previously held by Cessna Aircraft Company) Model 185 airplane. It was
observed during maintenance that the horizontal stabilizer tail section
moved up and down and had excessive play. After a detailed inspection,
the tailcone reinforcement braces were found cracked on both sides of
the airplane. Upon further investigation, the FAA discovered similar
conditions on 29 additional Textron 180 and 185 series airplanes. The
FAA determined that the combination of the attachment structure design
and high loads during landing contribute to the development of cracks
in the tailcone and horizontal stabilizer attachment structure. This
condition, if unaddressed, could result in failure of the horizontal
stabilizer to tailcone attachment and lead to tail separation with
consequent loss of control of the airplane.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Textron Aviation Single Engine Mandatory Service
Letter SEL-55-01, dated December 7, 2017. The service information
contains procedures for inspecting the stabilizer hinge brackets,
tailcone reinforcement angles, corner reinforcements, stabilizer hinge
reinforcement channel, stabilizer hinge assemblies, stabilizer aft spar
reinforcement, and the lower half of the stabilizer aft spar from
station (STA) 16 on the left side of the stabilizer aft spar to STA 16
on the right side for cracks and corrosion. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is proposing this AD because it 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.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    The service information applies to airplanes with more than 3,000
total hours time-in-service or 10 years in service, while this proposed
AD would apply regardless of the airplane's time-in-service. This
proposed AD would require inspecting for and replacing loose or sheared
rivets, which is not specified in the service information.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD would affect 6,586
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

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

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these actions:

* Not applicable.

    Since corrosion may affect any or all of the parts subject to the
inspection in this proposed AD differently and the severity of the
corrosion on each part would affect the time necessary to correct the
condition, the FAA has no way to determine an overall cost per product
for removing the corrosion. Similarly, loose or sheared rivets may also
affect any or all of the parts subject to the inspection in this
proposed AD differently, and the time necessary to correct the
condition on each product would be different. Therefore, the FAA has no
way to determine an overall cost

per product for replacing loose or sheared rivets.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-23-15 for
all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014-
23-15 required revising the maintenance or inspection program to
incorporate new, more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This new
AD retains the requirement to revise the maintenance or inspection
program and removes a conflicting requirement. This AD was prompted by
a determination that certain limitations required by AD 2014-23-15
conflict with limitations required by another AD. We are issuing this
AD to prevent fatigue cracking, accidental damage, or corrosion in
principal structural elements, and possible failure of certain life
limited parts, which could result in reduced structural integrity of
the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 23, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 2, 2015
(80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015).
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of August
22, 2011 (76 FR 42024, July 18, 2011).
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On December 23, 2014, we issued AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031
(80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), to supersede AD 2011-14-06, Amendment
39-16741 (76 FR 42024, July 18, 2011). AD 2014-23-15 applied to all
Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014-23-15
was prompted by the determination that more restrictive airworthiness
limitations were necessary. AD 2014-23-15 required revising the
maintenance program to incorporate new, more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. We issued AD 2014-23-15 to prevent fatigue cracking,
accidental damage, or corrosion in principal structural elements, and
possible failure of certain life limited parts, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
    AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015),
corresponds to Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information (MCAI)
European Aviation Safety Agency Airworthiness Directives 2012-0008,
dated January 16, 2012; and 2013-0147, dated July 16, 2013. You may
examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by

    Since we issued AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871,
January 26, 2015), we have determined that certain limitations required
by AD 2014-23-15 conflict with limitations required by AD 2014-26-10,
Amendment 39-18061 (80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015). Paragraph (n) of AD
2014-23-15 requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate the airworthiness limitations specified in
paragraphs (n)(1), (n)(2), and (n)(3) of AD 2014-23-15. Paragraph
(n)(3) of AD 2014-23-15 references Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part
4--Ageing Systems Maintenance, dated January 8, 2008. However,
paragraph (g) of AD 2014-26-10 requires revising the maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate Airbus A318/A319/
A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section, ALS Part 4, Aging Systems
Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012.
    Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section, ALS
Part 4, Aging Systems Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012,
contains the most recent airworthiness limitations for ALS Part 4.
Therefore, Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4--Ageing Systems
Maintenance, dated January 8, 2008, should not be incorporated as
required by AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26,
2015). We have removed paragraph (n)(3) of AD 2014-23-15 from this AD.
We have also revised the introductory text of paragraph (n) of this AD
to refer only to paragraphs (n)(1) and (n)(2) of this AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this

AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined the
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
products of these same type designs.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because
operators must comply with the most recent airworthiness limitations,
which are specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4--Ageing
Systems Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012, as required by
AD 2014-26-10, Amendment 39-18061 (80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015). Since
AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015),
requires an earlier version of the airworthiness limitations, i.e.,
Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4--Ageing Systems Maintenance,
dated January 8, 2008, we must remove that requirement in order to
avoid a conflict with certain requirements of AD 2014-26-10. Therefore,
we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for making
this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2015-0489; Directorate
Identifier 2015-NM-013-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this 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 AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 851 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR
3871, January 26, 2015), and retained in this AD take about 2 work-
hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based
on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required
by AD 2014-23-15 is $170 per product.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing airworthiness directive (AD)
2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), and
adding the following new AD:

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D. C. 20460 Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances December 20, 2005 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Inorganic Chlorates: Response to Registrant Phase 1 Comments on the HED Chapter of the Reregistration Eligibility Decision ( RED) Document. Case#: 4049 DP Barcode: D324278 PC Codes: Sodium chlorate: 073301 ( active) and 873301 ( inert) Calcium chlorate: 073302 ( active) and 875606 ( inert) Potassium chlorate: 073303 ( active) and 900583 ( inert) Magnesium chlorate: 530200 ( active)

FROM: Susan V. Hummel, Branch Senior Scientist Reregistration Branch 4 Health Effects Division ( 7509C)

THROUGH: Raymond Kent, Branch Chief Reregistration Branch 4 Health Effects Division ( 7509C)

TO: Felicia Fort, Chemical Review Manager Reregistration Branch 3 Special Review and Reregistration Division ( 7508C)

Attached is the Agency's response to the Phase 1 comments submitted by Lewis & Harrison ( letter dated 12/ 05/ 2005) on behalf of the Sodium Chlorate Reregistration Task Force to the EPA preliminary human health risk assessment for inorganic chlorates. The intent of this document is to illustrate how the registrants error correction comments were considered in the revisions to the risk assessment. The Task Force comments followed by the Agency's responses are present below. Page 2 of 4 Sodium Chlorate Reregistration Task Force Comment 1: In the " Executive Summary" section ( page 1 of 141, 2nd paragraph), the document states " As an active ingredient, sodium chlorate ( 073301) is used primarily as a precursor in chlorine dioxide generation through a closed system to bleach wood pulp/ paper". This statement implies that the bleaching of wood pulp/ paper is a pesticidal use. The bleaching of wood pulp/ paper does not involve any biocidal or pesticidal claims and, therefore, is not a pesticidal use. The Task Force suggests the following revision: " The primary use for sodium chlorate is as a precursor for chlorine dioxide generation, through a closed system, to bleach wood pulp/ paper".

Agency Response: In agreement with Task Force Comment 1, the 2nd paragraph of the Executive Summary ( Section 1.0) of the HED Chapter of the Inorganic Chlorates RED document will be amended to the following:

" Chlorates are strong oxidizers used in the manufacture of dyes, explosives, matches, printing fabric, paper pulp processing, weed killers, and as a weak antiseptic, 2 3% solutions have been used in mouth washes ( OEHHA, 2002). The primary use for sodium chlorate is as a precursor in chlorine dioxide generation, through a closed system, to bleach wood pulp/ paper. Only a small percentage ( less than 2 percent) is used in water systems as a precursor to chlorine dioxide generation or as a defoliant/ desiccant on a number of crops to aid harvest. As inert ingredients, sodium chlorate ( 873301) and potassium chlorate ( 900583) are present in conventional ( agricultural) pesticides used on food crops or in poultry premises. Also, as inert ingredients, sodium chlorate ( 873301) and calcium chlorate ( 875606) are present in antimicrobial agents used: ( 1) as fruit, vegetable, and egg sanitizing washes; ( 2) to control bacterial blotch on mushrooms; ( 3) as treatment to seed used for sprouting; ( 4) for conditioning live oysters; ( 5) in poultry drinking water; ( 6) in fish filleting; ( 7) pecan cracking/ dyeing."

Sodium Chlorate Reregistration Task Force Comment 2: In the [" Executive Summary" section] ( page 1 of 141, 2nd paragraph), there are a number of uses noted for sodium chlorate and calcium chlorate when they are used as inert ingredients in antimicrobial agents. The Task Force was not aware of most of these uses. Therefore, a reference ( e. g. Agency records, public literature, etc.) should be provided for these uses.

Agency Response: No changes to the HED Chapter of the Inorganic Chlorates RED document will be made in response to Task Force Comment 2. Additional information concerning sodium chlorate and calcium chlorate as inert ingredients in antimicrobial agents in this public document may infringe on the Confidential Business Information protection of the active ingredient( s) registration( s). Page 3 of 4 Sodium Chlorate Reregistration Task Force Comment 3: On page 8 of 141, under the heading " Dietary Drinking Water Only", 2nd paragraph, the document states, " No data are available concerning the levels of chlorate ion ( ClO 3 b ) in finished drinking water collected from water treatment facilities which use sodium chlorate to treat drinking water". This statement implies that sodium chlorate is used to directly treat drinking water, which is incorrect. We assume that the intent of the statement was to indicate that data is only available from facilities that use sodium chlorite to generate chlorine dioxide for the treatment of drinking water.

Agency Response: In agreement with Task Force Comment 3, the 2nd paragraph of the Dietary  Drinking Water Only subsection of the Executive Summary ( Section 1.0) of the HED Chapter of the Inorganic Chlorates RED document will be amended to the following:

" Data are available concerning the levels of chlorate ion ( ClO 3 b ) found in finished drinking water collected from water treatment facilities which use chlorine dioxide or hypochlorite to treat drinking water. No data are available concerning the levels of chlorate ion ( ClO 3 b ) in finished drinking water collected from water treatment facilities which use sodium chlorate as a precursor for chlorine dioxide generation, through a closed system, to treat drinking water."

Sodium Chlorate Reregistration Task Force Comment 4: In the " Ingredient Profile" section on page 14 of 141, Table 2.1.3, the " application rates" should be modified since sodium chlorate product labels have been revised to restrict the amount of non crop area that can be treated. In addition, the occupational handler risks that are discussed on the bottom of page 66 of 141 are based on application rates of 1032 and 532 lbs ai/ A, which are no longer valid.

Agency Response: No changes to the HED Chapter of the Inorganic Chlorates RED document are warranted at this time in response to Task Force Comment 4. Amendments to product labels and use rates are considered substantive and will require verification before there can be any revisions, if necessary, to the ORE assessment.

Sodium Chlorate Reregistration Task Force Comment 5: On page 15 of 41, Section 2.3, what is the source for the 500 ppm maximum use rate for total available chlorine in sanitizing wash water. The regulations under 40 CFR § 180.940 restrict total available halogen to 200 ppm.

Agency Response: No changes to the HED Chapter of the Inorganic Chlorates RED document will be made in response to Task Force Comment 5. Additional information concerning sodium chlorate and calcium chlorate as inert ingredients in antimicrobial agents in this public document may infringe on the Confidential Business Information protection of the active ingredient( s) registration( s). As suggested in Section 2.3, the 500 ppm maximum use rate is based on the active ingredient( s) product label( s). Page 4 of 4 Sodium Chlorate Reregistration Task Force Comment 6: On page 23 of 141, the date for the " 90 day oral toxicity study in rats" should be " 1987", not " 1997".

Agency Response: In agreement with Task Force Comment 6, all references to the 90 day oral toxicity study in rats ( MRID 40444801) in the HED Chapter of the Inorganic Chlorates RED document will be amended, as necessary, to specify the correct study date ( i. e., 1987).

Sodium Chlorate Reregistration Task Force Comment 7: On page 138 of 141, " cover" should be changed to " covered" in the sentence " These dietary exposure concerns are...". In addition, why is the reference to chlorine gas (" Under 40 CFR 180.1095, chlorine gas is exempted from the requirement of a tolerance when used preharvest or postharvest in solution on all raw agricultural commodities") included in this part.

Agency Response: In agreement with Task Force Comment 7, all instances in Appendix E of the HED Chapter of the Inorganic Chlorates RED document which should state " covered", and not " cover", will be corrected. Also the reference to 40 CFR § 180.1095 under the section of Appendix E entitled, " Dietary Exposure Route 5. Chlorate ( ClO 3 b ) dietary exposure estimates from potential redox of chlorine dioxide as the antimicrobial agent in fruit and vegetable washes and water used in poultry processing" will be deleted.

RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulations for Marine Events, Atlantic City
Offshore Race, Atlantic Ocean; Atlantic City, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is temporarily changing the enforcement date
of a special local regulation for one specific recurring marine event
in the Fifth Coast Guard District. This regulation applies to only one
recurring marine event, held on the Atlantic Ocean, offshore of
Atlantic City, New Jersey. The marine event formerly originated on the
third Sunday in July, but now is on the fourth Sunday in June; the
special local regulation is necessary to provide for the safety of life
on navigable waters during the event. This action is intended to
temporarily restrict vessel traffic in a portion of the Atlantic Ocean
near Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the event.

DATES: This rule will be effective on June 23, 2013, only.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble are part of docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The regulation for this marine event is located at 33 CFR 100.501,
Table to Sec.   100.501, section (a.) line 4.
    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 immediate action is needed to
minimize potential danger to the public during the event. The potential
dangers posed by marine events conducted on the Atlantic Ocean, near
Atlantic City, with other vessel traffic makes a special local
regulation necessary to provide for the safety of participants,
spectator craft and other vessels transiting the event area. For the
safety concerns noted, it is in the public interest to have this
regulation in effect during the event. In addition, it is impracticable
to provide for a notice and comment period because the Coast Guard
received late notice from the event planner of this change in date. The
Coast Guard will issue broadcast notice to mariners to advise vessel
operators of navigational restrictions. On scene Coast Guard and local
law enforcement vessels will also provide actual notice to mariners.
    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. The Coast Guard did not receive
information from the event sponsor early enough to allow 30 days after
publication before making this rule effective. This final rule is
necessary to protect the public and race participants during the
regatta, and therefore, must be effective by the start of the event on
June 23, 2013.

B. Basis and Purpose

    Offshore Performance Association sponsors an annual offshore race
held on the third Sunday in July on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean at
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
    The regulation listing annual marine events within the Fifth Coast
Guard District and special local regulations locations is 33 CFR
100.501. The Table to Sec.  100.501 identifies special local
regulations by COTP zone, with the COTP Delaware Bay zone listed in
section ``(a.)'' of the Table. The Table to Sec.  100.501, at section
(a.) event Number ``4'' describes the enforcement date and regulated
location for this marine event.
    The date listed in the Table has the marine event on the third
Sunday in July. However, this temporary rule changes the marine event
date to the fourth Sunday in June.
    A fleet of spectator vessels is anticipated to gather nearby to
view the marine event. Due to the need for vessel control during the
marine event vessel traffic will be temporarily restricted to provide
for the safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels.
Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.501, during the enforcement period,
vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they receive permission
from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard will temporarily suspend the regulation listed in
Table to Sec.  100.501, section (a.) event Number 4, and insert this
temporary regulation at Table to Sec.  100.501, at section (a.) as
event Number ``14'', in order to reflect that the marine event will be
held on June 23, 2013. This special local regulation will be enforced
from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
    The regulated area of this special local regulation includes all
the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, adjacent to Atlantic City, New
Jersey, bounded by a line drawn between the following points:
southeasterly from a point along the shoreline at latitude
39[deg]21'50'' N,

longitude 074[deg]24'37'' W, to latitude 39[deg]20'40'' N, longitude
074[deg]23'50'' W, thence southwesterly to latitude 39[deg]19'33'' N,
longitude 074[deg]26'52'' W, thence northwesterly to a point along the
shoreline at latitude 39[deg]20'43'' N, longitude 074[deg]27'40'' W,
thence northeasterly along the shoreline to latitude 39[deg]21'50'' N,
longitude 074[deg]24'37'' W.
    This special local regulation will temporarily restrict general
navigation in the regulated area during the marine event. Except for
persons or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no
person or vessel may enter or remain in the regulated area during the
effective period. The regulated area is needed to control vessel
traffic during the event for the safety of participants and transiting
vessels.

D. 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.

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.
    Although this rule will temporarily restrict vessel traffic from
transiting a portion of the Atlantic Ocean off the shore of Atlantic
City, New Jersey during the specified event, the effect of this
regulation will not be significant due to the limited duration that the
regulated area will be in effect. Extensive advance notifications will
be made to the maritime community via marine information broadcasts,
local radio stations and area newspapers so mariners can adjust their
plans accordingly. Additionally, this rulemaking changes the regulated
area for the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic City, Offshore Race for June 23,
2013 only and does not change the permanent regulated area that has
been published in 33 CFR 100.501, Table to Sec.  100.501 at portion
``a'' event Number ``4''. In some cases vessel traffic may be able to
transit the regulated area when the Coast Guard Patrol Commander deems
it is safe to do so.

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 might
be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in the Atlantic Ocean, off the shore of Atlantic
City, where marine events are being held. This regulation will not have
a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because
it will only be in effect from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 23, 2013 in
the regulated area. The Captain of the Port will ensure that small
entities are able to operate in the regulated area when it is safe to
do so. In some cases, vessels will be able to safely transit around the
regulated area at various times, and, with the permission of the Patrol
Commander, vessels may transit through the regulated area. Before the
enforcement period, the Coast Guard will issue maritime advisories so
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.

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 within 33 CFR Part 100. It is necessary to provide for the
safety of the general public and event participants from potential
hazards associated with the movement of vessels near the event area.
This rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
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 any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.
