DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

[Docket No. PHMSA-2011-0328; Notice No. 11-15]

Safety Advisory: Unauthorized Marking of Compressed Gas Cylinders

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Safety Advisory Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This is to notify the public that PHMSA has confirmed that
Spears Fire & Safety, 287 Jackson Plaza, Ann Arbor, MI improperly
requalified and marked high pressure compressed gas cylinders. During a
recent investigation, PHMSA determined that between November 2008 and
October 2011, Spears Fire & Safety requalified and marked with a
Requalifier Identification Number (RIN) ``B037'' approximately 7,740
DOT specification cylinders after its authority to requalifiy high
pressure cylinders expired on October 31, 2008. Additionally the
investigation revealed that during this period, Spears Fire & Safety
(1) failed to condemn cylinders with a permanent expansion greater than
10% of total expansion, (2) on multiple occasions did not maintain the
minimum test pressure for the required time and (3) improperly repeated
pressure tests on cylinders required to be condemned. Cylinders that
have not been properly requalified and marked in accordance with the
HMR may not be filled with compressed gas or other hazardous material.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Spears Fire & Safety, Mr. Robert Pate,
Manager, 287 Jackson Plaza, Ann Arbor, MI, Telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA has recently confirmed that Spears
Fire & Safety continued to requalify and mark high pressure cylinders
after their authority to requalify cylinders had expired. Spears Fire &
Safety's authority to requalify cylinders expired on October 31, 2008
and failed to seek renewal of its authority from the Associate
Administrator. However, Spears Fire & Safety continued to requalify
cylinders for a period of time up to and including October 14, 2011.
The investigation also revealed that Spears Fire & Safety (1) failed to
condemn cylinders with a permanent expansion greater than 10% of total
expansion (2) on multiple occasions, did not maintain test pressure for
the required time period, and (3) performed multiple repeat pressure
tests on a cylinder with a permanent expansion greater than 10% of
total expansion. Because Spears Fire & Safety improperly pressure
tested and marked high pressure cylinders that were required to be
condemned, PHMSA questions the condition of all of the cylinders
requalified, marked and returned to service by Spears Fire & Safety
between November 2008 and October 2011 (approximately 7,740 cylinders).
The cylinders in question were marked with Spears Fire & Safety's RIN
``B037''. The markings appear in the following pattern:

                                   B0
                                   M Y
                                   73

    Where B037 is Spears Fire & Safety's RIN, M is the month of the
retest (e.g. 10) and Y is the year of the retest (e.g. 11). Anyone who
identifies a cylinder marked with the RIN ``B037'' and a test date
after October 2008, are advised to remove these cylinders from service
and contact Spears Fire & Safety, Ann Arbor, MI for further
instructions.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on December 29, 2011.
Magdy El-Sibaie,
Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish special local regulations: 33 U.S.C. 1233. The purpose of the
rule is to ensure safety of life on navigable waters of the United
States during a regatta or marine parade.
    On Saturday and Sunday, June 1-2 and June 8-9, 2013, H2X Racing
Promotions will host the Pro Hydro-X Tour, a series of high-speed
personal watercraft races. The Pro Hydro-X Tour will be held on Lake
Dora in Tavares, Florida. Approximately 75 vessels are anticipated to
participate in the races. No spectator vessels are expected to attend
the Pro Hydro-X Tour. In prior years, the two weekends of the event
were spaced farther apart and multiple temporary regulations were
issued for this same event. This year, due to the close proximity in
time of the event, only a single regulation will be issued and
enforced.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The proposed rule would establish a special local regulation that
encompasses certain waters of Lake Dora in Tavares, Florida. The
special local regulation will be enforced from 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
on June 1-2 and June 8-9, 2013. This special local regulation is
necessary to ensure the safety of life on navigable waters of the
United States during the races. The special local regulation will
consist of the following two areas during each weekend that it is
enforced: (1) A race area, where all persons and vessels, except those
persons and vessels participating in the high-speed personal watercraft
races, are prohibited from entering, transiting, anchoring, or
remaining; and (2) a buffer zone around the race area, where all
persons and vessels, except those persons and vessels enforcing the
buffer zone, or authorized participants transiting to and from the race
area, are prohibited from entering, transiting, anchoring, or remaining
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a
designated representative.
    Persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the race area or buffer zone by
contacting the Captain of the Port Jacksonville by telephone at (904)
564-7511, or a designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16.
If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the race area or buffer zone is granted by the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville or a designated representative, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative. The
Coast Guard will provide notice of the special local regulations by
Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and on-scene
designated representatives.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed 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 economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulation will be enforced
for only 34 hours; (2) although persons and vessels will not be able to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the race area or
buffer zone without being an authorized participant or enforcing the
buffer zone, or receiving authorization from the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville or a designated representative, they may operate in the
surrounding area during the enforcement periods; (3) nonparticipant
persons and vessels may still enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the race area or buffer zone if authorized by the Captain
of the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative; and (4) the
Coast Guard will provide advance notification of the special local
regulation to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed 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 enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within that
portion of Lake Dora encompassed within the special local regulation
from 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on June 1-2, 2013 and June 8-9, 2013. For
the reasons discussed in the Regulatory Planning and Review section
above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    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 proposed 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. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

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

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule
involves a special local regulation issued in conjunction with a
regatta or marine parade. This rule is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(h) and 35(b) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A preliminary 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 proposed rule.

New Linden Hill Road, Suite 501, Wilmington, DE 19808, proposes to
establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the
insecticide flubendiamide, (N2-[1,1-dimethyl-2-
(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-3-iodo- N1-[2-methyl-4-[1,2,2,2-
tetrafluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]phenyl-1,2-benzenedicarboxamide,
in or on rice, grain at 0.5 parts per million (ppm). Independently
validated, analytical methods for crop matrices have been submitted for
measuring flubendiamide. Typically, plant matrices samples are
extracted, concentrated, and quantified by liquid chromatography/mass
spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) using deuterated internal
standards. Contact: Carmen Rodia,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail address:

Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ
08540, proposes to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues
of the insecticide bifenthrin, (2-methyl [1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl) methyl-
3-(2-chloro-3,3,3,-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-
dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate), in or on tea (import tolerance) at 25
ppm; and tolerances with regional registrations in or on grass, forage
at 2.5 ppm and grass, hay at 4.5 ppm. There is a practical analytical
method for detecting and measuring levels of bifenthrin in or on food
with a limit of detection (LOD) that allows monitoring of food with
residues at or above the levels set in these tolerances: Gas
chromatography with electron capture detection (GC/ECD). Contact: Laura
Nollen,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>     3. PP 9E7659. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-1009). The Interregional Research
Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ
08540, proposes to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for the
combined residues of the fungicide propiconazole, (1-[[2-(2,4-
dichlorophenyl)-4-propyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl] methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole)
and its metabolites determined as 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid and
expressed as parent compound, in or on onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A at
0.2 ppm; onion, green, subgroup 3-07B at 9.0 ppm; caneberry subgroup
13-07A at 1.0 ppm; bushberry subgroup 13-07B at 1.0 ppm; and low
growing berry subgroup 13-07G, except cranberry at 1.3 ppm. Analytical
methods AG-626 and AG-454A were developed for the determination of
residues of propiconazole and its metabolites containing the
dichlorobenzoic acid (DCBA) moiety. Analytical method AG-626 has been
accepted and published by EPA as the tolerance enforcement method for
crops. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for the method is 0.05 ppm.

Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ
08540, proposes to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues
of the herbicide, triflusulfuron methyl, 2 [[[[[4-(dimethylamino)-6-
(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-1,3,5-triazin-2-
yl]amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]-3-methylbenzoate, in or on beet,
garden, roots at 0.01 ppm; and beet, garden, tops at 0.02 ppm. A method
for quantitation of triflusulfuron methyl in garden beets uses a high
performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) with eluent and column-
switching and ultra-violet (UV) detection at 232 nanometer (nm) for the
determination of triflusulfuron methyl residues in garden beet foliage
and roots. Sample clean-up is achieved through reversed phase
chromatography using eluent-switching. Column-switching provides the
resolution required for quantitation of triflusulfuron methyl. The
calculated LOQ values were 0.0069 ppm for roots and 0.0044 ppm on tops
(leaves) respectively. Triflusulfuron methyl is detected at levels as
low as 0.005 ppm. Triflusulfuron methyl recoveries averaged 99% for
foliage and 110% for roots. Contact: Laura Nollen,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-

BILLING CODE 6560-50-S


MEMORANDUM Subject: Meeting with Ingersoll Rand, Jan. 13, 2004 From: Steven Silverman, Office of General Council To: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA), Air Docket A 2001 28; E DOCKET OAR 2003 0012 Date: April 15, 2004 ____________________________________________________________________________

On January 13, 2004, Cleophas Jackson, Philip Carlson and I had a 45 minute conference call with Alan McConnell and Bill Lane, attorneys for Ingersoll Rand. The topic was continued discussion about potential equipment maker flexibilities.

We discussed three potential flexibilities. The first is making the non ABT portion of the proposed Blue Sky program, whereby credits are generated by early introduction of aftertreatmentequipped engines ( see 68 FR at 28483), available to equipment manufacturers. The non ABT increment could be used by equipment manufacturers across power categories, not just in the creditgenerating category. Ingersoll reacted favorably to this possibility.

We next discussed potential increases in the proposed percent of production allowance. We indicated that we did not see any need to expand the allowance for 25 hp and less and greater than 750 hp engines. Ingersoll agreed. We also said we saw difficulties justifying an expansion greater than 90 % ( from the proposed 80 %) based on lost pollutant reductions and potential adverse competitive impacts unjustified by lead time concerns. Ingersoll indicated that their main issue remains lead time for equipment manufacturers, and that lead time provided to engine manufacturers does not necessarily aid equipment manufacturers because equipment cannot be redesigned until a prototype conforming engine is in the hands of the equipment maker. They thus argue that 8 years of lead time to engine manufacturers may avail them nothing. They further note that they used all of their Tier 2 flexibilities for certain engine categories, and since Tier 4 will be more complicated, they need correspondingly more flexibility to have adequate lead time. They thus continue to seek the increases outlined in their December 18 letter to EPA, from 120 % to 150% depending on the power category. We responded that many equipment engineering changes can be designed in advance of engine receipt, and also noted that Ingersoll has considerable market leverage with its engine suppliers.

The third flexibility under discussion is a potential modification to the hardship relief provision. We agreed to provide draft language to Ingersoll at a later date. 2

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0252; Airspace Docket No. 11-ANM-5]

Modification of Class E Airspace; Newcastle, WY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Newcastle, WY, to
accommodate aircraft using the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global
Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at
Mondell Field Airport. This improves the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. The airport
name also is being changed to Mondell Field Airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, August 25, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldon Taylor, Federal Aviation
Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601
Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, WA 98057; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 12, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at
Newcastle, WY (76 FR 20281). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15,
2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface, at Mondell Field Airport, to accommodate IFR
aircraft using the RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures
at the airport. This action is necessary for the safety and management
of IFR operations. The airport name is being changed from Mondell
Field, to Mondell Field Airport, Newcastle, WY. With the exception of
minor corrections made to the regulatory text at the request of the
FAA's Aeronautical Products Office, this rule is the same as that
proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S.
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes
additional controlled airspace at Mondell Field Airport, Newcastle, WY.

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2020-0081]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Choptank River, Hambrooks Bay,
Cambridge, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish temporary special
local regulations for certain waters of the Choptank River. This action
is necessary to provide for the safety of life on these navigable
waters located at Cambridge, MD, during a high-speed power boat racing
event on July 25, 2020, and July 26, 2020. This proposed rulemaking
would prohibit persons and vessels from entering the regulated area
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital
Region or the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. We invite your comments on
this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before June 5, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2020-0081 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Mr. Ron Houck, U.S. Coast Guard
Sector Maryland-National Capital Region; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
PATCOM Coast Guard Patrol Commander
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Kent Narrows Racing Association of Chester, MD, notified the Coast
Guard that it will be conducting the Thunder on the Choptank from 9:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 25, 2020, and from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July
26, 2020. The high-speed power boat racing event consists of
approximately 50 participating inboard and outboard hydroplane and
runabout race boats of various classes, 16 to 21 feet in length. The
vessels will be competing on a designated, marked 1-mile oval course
located in the Choptank River in a cove located between Hambrooks Bar
and the shoreline at Cambridge, MD. Hazards from the power boat racing
event include risks of injury or death resulting from near or actual
contact among participant vessels and spectator vessels or waterway
users if normal vessel

traffic were to interfere with the event. Additionally, such hazards
include participants operating near designated navigation channels, as
well as operating near approaches to local public boat ramps, private
marinas and yacht clubs, and waterfront businesses. The COTP Maryland-
National Capital Region has determined that potential hazards
associated with the power boat races would be a safety concern for
anyone intending to participate in this event and for vessels that
operate within specified waters of the Choptank River.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to protect event participants,
non-participants and transiting vessels before, during, and after the
scheduled event. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region is proposing to establish
special local regulations to be enforced from 8:30 a.m. through 6 p.m.
on July 25, 2020, and from 8:30 a.m. through 6 p.m. on July 26, 2020.
The regulated area would cover all navigable waters of the Choptank
River and Hambrooks Bay bounded by a line connecting the following
coordinates: Commencing at the shoreline at Long Wharf Park, Cambridge,
MD, at position latitude 38[deg]34'30'' N, longitude 076[deg]04'16'' W;
thence east to latitude 38[deg]34'20'' N, longitude 076[deg]03'46'' W;
thence northeast across the Choptank River along the Senator Frederick
C. Malkus, Jr. (US-50) Memorial Bridge, at mile 15.5, to latitude
38[deg]35'30'' N, longitude 076[deg]02'52'' W; thence west along the
shoreline to latitude 38[deg]35'38'' N, longitude 076[deg]03'09'' W;
thence north and west along the shoreline to latitude 38[deg]36'42'' N,
longitude 076[deg]04'15'' W; thence southwest across the Choptank River
to latitude 38[deg]35'31'' N, longitude 076[deg]04'57'' W; thence west
along the Hambrooks Bay breakwall to latitude 38[deg]35'33'' N,
longitude 076[deg]05'17'' W; thence south and east along the shoreline
back to the point of origin.
    This proposed rule provides additional information about areas
within the regulated area, and the restrictions that apply to mariners.
These areas include a ``Race Area,'' ``Buffer Zone'' and ``Spectator
Area.''
    The proposed duration of the rule and size of the regulated area
are intended to ensure the safety of life on these navigable waters
before, during, and after the high-speed power boat races, scheduled to
take place from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 25, 2020, and those same
hours on July 26, 2020. The COTP and the Coast Guard Patrol Commander
(PATCOM) would have authority to forbid and control the movement of all
vessels and persons, including event participants, in the regulated
area.
    Except for Thunder on the Choptank participants and vessels already
at berth, a vessel or person would be required to get permission from
the COTP or PATCOM before entering the regulated area while the rule is
being enforced. Vessel operators could request permission to enter and
transit through the regulated area by contacting the PATCOM on VHF-FM
channel 16. Vessel traffic would be able to safely transit the
regulated area once the PATCOM deems it safe to do so. A person or
vessel not registered with the event sponsor as a participant or
assigned as official patrols would be considered a non-participant.
Official Patrols are any vessel assigned or approved by the Commander,
Coast Guard Sector Maryland-National Capital Region with a
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer on board and displaying a Coast
Guard ensign.
    If permission is granted by the COTP or PATCOM, a person or vessel
would be allowed to enter the regulated area or pass directly through
the regulated area as instructed. Vessels would be required to operate
at a safe speed that minimizes wake while within the regulated area.
Official patrol vessels would direct non-participants while within the
regulated area.
    The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of this
document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed 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 NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM 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 size and duration
of the regulated area, which would impact a small designated area of
the Choptank River for 19 total enforcement hours. The Coast Guard
would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16
about the status of the regulated area. Moreover, the rule would allow
vessels to seek permission to enter the regulated area, and vessel
traffic would be able to safely transit the regulated area once the
PATCOM deems it safe to do so.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would 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
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    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.
    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 proposed 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. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed 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. If
you believe this proposed 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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing
instructions, 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 made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves
implementation of regulations within 33 CFR part 100 applicable to
organized marine events on the navigable waters of the United States
that could negatively impact the safety of waterway users and shore
side activities in the event area lasting for 19 hours. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
L[61] of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01,
Rev. 01. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which

without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and
submissions in response to this docket, see DHS's Correspondence System
of Records notice (84 FR 48645, September 26, 2018).

for email alerts, you will be notified when comments are posted or a
final rule is published.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

    Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.

Lake Erie, Cleveland, OH. This safety zone is intended to restrict
vessels from a portion of Lake Erie during the Lake Erie Open Water
Classic open water swim on July 16, 2016. This temporary safety zone is
necessary to protect swimmers from vessels operating in the area. Entry
of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo.

DATES: This rule is effective from 5:45 a.m. until 11:15 a.m. on July
16, 2016.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Pub. L. Public Law

U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest. The final details for this event were
not known to the Coast Guard until there was insufficient time
remaining before the event to publish an NPRM. Thus, delaying the
effective date of this rule to wait for a comment period to run would
be both impracticable and contrary to the public interest because it
would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to protect spectators and
vessels from the hazards associated with the presence of swimmers in
open water.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For the same reasons discussed in
the preceding paragraph, waiting for a 30 day notice period to run
would be contrary to the public interest given the need to ensure the
safety and security of the event and participants.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard issues this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.
On July 16, 2016, between 5:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m., a large scale
swimming event will take place on Lake Erie in Cleveland, OH. The
Captain of the Port Buffalo (COTP) has determined that a large scale
swimming event on a navigable waterway will pose a significant risk to
participants and the boating public. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone while the Open Water Classic is happening.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 5:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on
July 16, 2016. The safety zone will encompass all waters of Lake Erie,
Cleveland, OH south of a line drawn between position 41[deg]29'31'' N.,
081[deg]44'23'' W. and 41[deg]29'24'' N., 081[deg]45'05'' W. (NAD 83)
to the shore. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. The Captain of the Port or his designated
representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we discuss
First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. 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 conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be
relatively small and enforced for a relatively short time. Also, the
safety zone is designed to minimize its impact on navigable waters.
Under certain conditions, vessels may still transit through the safety
zone when permitted by the Captain of the Port.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    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 E.O. 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 E.O. 13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because
it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian
tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If you believe this rule has
implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule involves a safety zone lasting less than 6 hours that will
prohibit entry within a small area on Lake Erie. It is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting
this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
