Regulatory Information

    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. Publishing a NPRM and delaying
the effective date would be contrary to public interest since the
security zones around escorted vessels are necessary to ensure the safe
transit of the escorted vessels as well as the public. Certain vessel
movements are more vulnerable to terrorist acts and it would be
contrary to the public interest to publish an NPRM that would delay the
effective date of this rule. The Coast Guard coordinates escorts for
vessels in the Captain of the Port Zone Savannah, Georgia for the
port's safety and security. To ensure safe boating, it is imperative
that a standard exclusionary zone be broadcast and safe speeds be
followed for all escorted vessels.
    For the same reasons above, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less
than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.

Background and Purpose

    The terrorist attacks of September 2001 heightened the need for
development of various security measures throughout the seaports of the
United States, particularly around vessels and facilities whose
presence or

movement creates a heightened vulnerability to terrorist acts; or those
for which the consequences of terrorist acts represent a threat to
national security. The President of the United States has found that
the security of the United States is and continues to be endangered
following the attacks of September 11 (E.O. 13,273, 67 FR 56215, Sep.
3, 2002 and 72 FR 54205, Sep. 21, 2007). Additionally, national
security and intelligence officials continue to warn that future
terrorist attacks are likely.
    The Captain of the Port Zone Savannah, Georgia frequently receive
vessels that require additional security, including, but not limited
to, vessels carrying sensitive Department of Defense cargoes, vessels
carrying dangerous cargoes, and foreign naval vessels. The Captain of
the Port has determined that these vessels have a significant
vulnerability to subversive activity by other vessels or persons, or,
in some cases, themselves pose a risk to a port and the public within
the Captain of the Port Zone, as described in 33 CFR 3.35-15. This rule
enables the COTP Savannah to provide effective port security, while
minimizing the public's confusion and easing the administrative burden
of implementing separate temporary security zone rules for each
escorted vessel.

Discussion of Rule

    This rule establishes a security zone that prohibits persons and
vessels from coming within 300 yards of all escorted vessels within the
navigable waters of the Captain of the Port Zone Savannah, Georgia
unless authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, or Captain of
the Port's designated representative.
    The navigable waterways included in this rule are the Port of
Savannah and the Port of Brunswick in Georgia. Persons or vessels that
receive permission to enter the security zone must proceed at a minimum
safe speed and must comply with all orders issued by the COTP or a
designated representative. Those vessels granted permission to enter
the 300-yard security zone may not come within 50 yards of an escorted
vessel. An escorted vessel will be defined as a vessel, other than a
large U.S. naval vessel as defined in 33 CFR 165.2015, that is
accompanied by one or more Coast Guard assets or other Federal, State
or local law enforcement agency assets clearly identifiable by lights,
vessel markings, or with agency insignia as listed below:
     Coast Guard surface or air asset displaying the Coast
Guard insignia.
     State and/or local law enforcement asset displaying the
applicable agency markings and/or equipment associated with the agency.
     When escorted vessels are moored, dayboards or other
visual indications such as lights or buoys may be used. In all cases,
broadcast notice to mariners will be issued to advise mariners of these
restrictions.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does
not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. The limited geographic area impacted by
the security zone will not restrict the movement or routine operation
of commercial or recreational vessels through the Ports of Savannah and
Brunswick, Georgia.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit in the vicinity of escorted vessels. This rule would not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because
the zones are limited in size, in most cases leaving ample space for
vessels to navigate around them. The zones will not significantly
impact commercial and passenger vessel traffic patterns, and mariners
will be notified of the zones via Broadcast Notice to Mariners. Where
such space is not available and security conditions permit, the Captain
of the Port will attempt to provide flexibility for individual vessels
to transit through the zones as needed.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

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

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to

minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

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

Indian Tribal Governments

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

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD
which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors in this case that would limit
the use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the
Instruction. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. Once the comment period is closed and all
comments have been addressed, a final ``Environmental Analysis Check
List'' and a final ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' will be
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

2. Add Sec.  165.749 to read as follows:

Sec.  165.749  Security Zone: Escorted Vessels, Savannah, Georgia,
Captain of the Port Zone.

    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    COTP means Captain of the Port Savannah, GA.
    Designated representatives means Coast Guard Patrol Commanders
including Coast Guard coxswains, petty officers and other officers
operating Coast Guard vessels, and Federal, State, and local officers
designated by or assisting the COTP, in the enforcement of the security
zone.
    Escorted vessel means a vessel, other than a large U.S. naval
vessel as defined in 33 CFR 165.2015, that is accompanied by one or
more Coast Guard assets or other Federal, State or local law
enforcement agency assets clearly identifiable by lights, vessel
markings, or with agency insignia as listed below:
    (1) Coast Guard surface or air asset displaying the Coast Guard
insignia.
    (2) State and/or local law enforcement asset displaying the
applicable agency markings and/or equipment associated with the agency.
    (3) When escorted vessels are moored, dayboards or other visual
indications such as lights or buoys may be used. In all cases,
broadcast notice to mariners will be issued to advise mariners of these
restrictions.
    Minimum safe speed means the speed at which a vessel proceeds when
it is fully off plane, completely settled in the water and not creating
excessive wake. Due to the different speeds at which vessels of
different sizes and configurations may travel while in compliance with
this definition, no specific speed is assigned to minimum safe speed.
In no instance should minimum safe speed be interpreted as a speed less
than that required for a particular vessel to maintain steerageway. A
vessel is not proceeding at minimum safe speed if it is:
    (1) On a plane;
    (2) In the process of coming up onto or coming off a plane; or
    (3) Creating an excessive wake.
    (b) Regulated Area. All navigable waters, as defined in 33 CFR
2.36, within the Captain of the Port Zone, Savannah, Georgia 33 CFR
3.35-15.
    (c) Security Zone. A 300-yard security zone is established around
each escorted vessel within the regulated area described in paragraph
(b) of this section. This is a moving security zone when the escorted
vessel is in transit and becomes a fixed zone when the escorted vessel
is anchored or moored. A security zone will not extend beyond the
boundary of the regulated area in this section.
    (d) Regulations. (1) The general regulations for security zones
contained in Sec.  165.33 of this part apply to this section.
    (2) A vessel may request the permission of the COTP Savannah or a
designated representative to enter the security zone described in
paragraph (c) of this section. If permitted to enter the security zone,
a vessel must proceed at the minimum safe speed and must comply with
the orders of the COTP or a designated representative. No vessel or
person may enter the inner 50-yard portion of the security zone closest
to the vessel.
    (e) Notice of Security Zone. The COTP will inform the public of the
existence or status of the security zones around escorted vessels in
the regulated area by Broadcast Notice to Mariners. Coast Guard assets
or other Federal, State or local law enforcement agency assets will be
clearly identified by lights, vessel markings, or with agency insignia.

When escorted vessels are moored, dayboards or other visual indications
such as lights or buoys may be used.
    (f) Contact Information. The COTP Savannah may be reached via phone
at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Any on scene Coast Guard or designated
representative assets may be reached via VHF-FM channel 16.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless

NHTSA has decided that the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a
motor vehicle originally manufactured for importation into and sale in
the United States, certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same
model year as the model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is
capable of being readily altered to conform to all applicable FMVSS.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR Part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
    Wallace Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc. of Houston, Texas
(WETL) (Registered Importer 90-005) has petitioned NHTSA to decide
whether nonconforming LHD 2006 Land Rover Range Rover MPVs are eligible
for importation into the United States. The vehicles which WETL
believes are substantially similar are 2006 Land Rover Range Rover MPVs
that were manufactured for sale in the United States and certified by
their manufacturer as conforming to all applicable FMVSS.
    The petitioner claims that it compared non-U.S. certified LHD 2006
Land Rover Range Rover MPVs to their U.S.-certified counterparts, and
found the vehicles to be substantially similar with respect to
compliance with most FMVSS.
    WETL submitted information with its petition intended to
demonstrate that non-U.S. certified LHD 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
MPVs, as originally manufactured, conform to many FMVSS in the same
manner as their U.S. certified counterparts, or are capable of being
readily altered to conform to those standards. Specifically, the
petitioner claims that non-U.S. certified LHD 2006 Land Rover Range
Rover MPVs are identical to their U.S. certified counterparts with
respect to compliance with Standard Nos. 102 Transmission Shift Lever
Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect, 103
Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems, 104 Windshield Wiping and
Washing Systems, 106 Brake Hoses, 113 Hood Latch System, 116 Motor
Vehicle Brake Fluids, Standard No. 118 Power-Operated Window,
Partition, and Roof Panel Systems, 119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles
other than passenger Cars, 124 Accelerator Control Systems, 135 Light
Vehicle Brake Systems, 201 Occupant Protection in Interior Impact, 202
Head Restraints, 203 Impact Protection for the Driver from the Steering
Control System, 204 Steering Control Rearward Displacement, 205 Glazing
Materials, 206 Door Locks and Door Retention Components, 207 Seating
Systems, 208 Occupant Crash Protection, 209 Seat Belt Assemblies, 210
Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages, 212 Windshield Mounting, 214 Side Impact
Protection, 216 Roof Crush Resistance, 219 Windshield Zone Intrusion,
225 Child Restraint Anchorage Systems, and 302 Flammability of Interior
Materials.
    The petitioner also contends that the vehicles are capable of being
readily altered to meet the following standards, in the manner
indicated:
    Standard No. 101 Controls Telltales, and Indicators: inscription of
the word ``brake'' on the brake telltale in place of the international
ECE warning symbol. Inspection of all vehicles and installation of
U.S.-model speedometer and odometer, or modification of the existing
speedometer and odometer to conform with the requirements of this
standard, if required.
    Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated
Equipment: installation of U.S.-model headlamps and tail lamps that
incorporate side marker lamps. The petitioner states that the vehicle
is already equipped with a center high mounted stop lamp.
    Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors: inscription of the required
warning statement on the face of the passenger side rearview mirror.
    Standard No. 114 Theft Protection: reprogramming of the instrument
cluster to activate the warning buzzer whenever the key is left in the
ignition and the driver's door is opened.
    Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and Rims for Vehicles other than
Passenger Cars: installation of a tire and rim information placard.
    Standard No. 301 Fuel System Integrity: installation of a U.S.-
model rollover valve.
    The petitioner states that each vehicle will be inspected prior to
importation for compliance with the Theft Prevention Standard in 49 CFR
part 541 and that anti-theft devices will be installed on all vehicles
not already so equipped.
    The petitioner additionally states that a vehicle identification
plate must be affixed to the vehicles near the left windshield post to
meet the requirements of 49 CFR part 565 and that a certification label
must be affixed to the driver's door jamb to meet the requirements of
49 CFR part 567.
    All comments received before the close of business on the closing
date indicated above will be considered, and will be available for
examination in the docket at the above addresses both before and after
that date. To the extent possible, comments filed after the closing
date will also be considered. Notice of final action on the petition
will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to the authority
indicated below.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8;
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.
