33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0331]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Fireworks Display, Great Egg Harbor Bay, Ocean City,
NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain navigable waters of Great Egg Harbor Bay in Ocean City, NJ. The
safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards created by a fireworks display.
Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Delaware Bay.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9 p.m. through 9:30 p.m. on July 24,
2021.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble are available in the
docket for this rulemaking at https://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,
call or email Petty Officer Jennifer Padilla, Sector Delaware Bay,
Waterways Management Division, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (215) 271-
4814, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec.  Section
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 it is impracticable and contrary to
the public interest to do so. There is insufficient time to allow for a
reasonable comment period prior to the event. The rule must be in force
by July 24, 2021. We are taking immediate action to ensure the safety
of spectators and the general public from hazards associated with the
fireworks display. Hazards include accidental discharge of fireworks,
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest.
The rule needs to be in place by July 24, 2021, to mitigate the
potential safety hazards associated with a fireworks display in this
location.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority granted in 46
U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port
Delaware Bay (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated
with the fireworks to be used in this July 24, 2021, display will be a
safety concern for anyone within a 300-yard radius of the barge. The
purpose of this rule is to ensure safety of vessels and the navigable
waters in the safety zone before, during, and after the scheduled
event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone on the waters of
Great Egg Harbor Bay in Ocean City, NJ, during a fireworks display from
a barge. The event is scheduled to take place between 9 p.m. and 9:30
p.m. on July 24, 2021. The safety zone will extend 300 yards around the
barge, which will be anchored at approximate position latitude
39[deg]17'22'' N, longitude 074[deg]34'29'' W. The duration of the zone
is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment
in these navigable waters during the fireworks display. No vessel or
person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and we discuss
First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the following
factors: (1) Although persons and vessels may not enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone without
authorization from the COTP Delaware Bay or a designated
representative, they may operate in the surrounding area during the
enforcement period; (2) persons and vessels will still be able to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
if authorized by the COTP Delaware Bay; and (3) the Coast Guard will
provide advance notification of the safety zone to the local maritime
community by Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

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 call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

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 expenditures 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 expenditures, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, 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 determined that this action is one
of a category of actions that does not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
a temporary safety zone that prohibits persons and vessels from
entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within a
limited area on the navigable water in Great Egg Harbor Bay during a
fireworks display lasting approximately 30 minutes. It is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A,
Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of
Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available
in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email 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.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

[Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OA-2006-0278]

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
all recipients of EPA financial assistance agreements, and any entities
receiving identified loans under a financial assistance agreement
capitalizing a revolving loan fund.
    Title: MBE/WBE Utilization Under Federal Grants, Cooperative
Agreements, and Interagency Agreements.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2212.02, OMB Control No. 2090-0025.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on June 30,
2006. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: All EPA financial assistance agreement recipients are
required to make good faith efforts to assure that small, minority and
women owned businesses are used, when possible, as sources of
construction, services, equipment, and supplies. The completion and
submission of EPA Form 5700-52A is mandatory. The information collected
by EPA Form 5700-52A is used to compile data concerning the utilization
of minority and women owned businesses as contractors under
procurements funded by EPA financial assistance agreements pursuant to
Executive Orders 11625, 12138, and 12432, and Public Laws 101-507 and
102-389. The effectiveness of EPA's MBE/WBE Program is measured through
this reporting requirement. The modifications to the form were made to
simplify and shorten the form itself. The instructions in the modified
form also provide more information about questions frequently asked by
respondents.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one
(1) hour per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 3600.
    Frequency of response: Depending on the type of financial
assistance received, respondents either report on an annual or
quarterly basis.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
3600.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 3600 (one burden hour per
respondent).
    Estimated total annual costs: $146,916. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $146,916, and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval?

    There is no change in the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB.

What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

40 CFR Part 98

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0508; FRL-9127-6]
RIN 2060-AQ15

Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases: Minor Harmonizing
Changes to the General Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to amend the general
provisions for the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting Rule. The
amendments do not change the requirements of the regulation for
facilities and suppliers covered by the 2009 final rule. Rather, the
amendments are minor changes to the format of several sections of the
general provisions to accommodate the addition of new subparts in the
future in a simple and clear manner. These changes include updating the
language for the schedule for submitting reports and calibrating
equipment to recognize that subparts that may be added in the future
would have later deadlines. These revisions do not change the
requirements for subparts included in the 2009 final rule.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective May 17, 2010 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by April 15, 2010, or by
April 30, 2010 if a public hearing is held (see below). If we receive
adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that this rule, or the relevant section
of this rule, will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is publishing this rule without prior
proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial action and
anticipate no adverse comment. These amendments simply reformat parts
of one section of subpart A and make other harmonizing changes to allow
additional subparts to be added in the future in a clear manner. These
revisions do not alter the requirements for sources covered by the
final rule. Any additional subparts will be added in separate
rulemakings and are not included in this rule. However, in the
``Proposed Rules'' section of this Federal Register, we are publishing
a separate document that will serve as the proposed rule for these
amendments if adverse comments are received on this direct final rule.
If EPA receives adverse comment on all or a distinct portion of this
direct final rule, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register to inform the public that the direct final rule or some
portion of the direct final rule will not take effect. EPA will not
consider a comment to be adverse if a comment pertains to an aspect of
40 CFR part 98 that is not addressed in this direct final rule.
    The rule provisions that are not withdrawn will become effective on
the date set out above, notwithstanding adverse comment on any other
provision, unless we determine that it would not be appropriate to
promulgate those provisions due to their being affected by the
provision for which we receive adverse comments. We would address all
public comments in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed
rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting on the specific changes being made in
this rule must do so at this time. For further information about
commenting on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    Regulated Entities. The amendments to the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas
Reporting Rule affect owners and operators of fuel and chemicals
suppliers and direct emitters of GHGs who are already subject to the
rule. Regulated categories and entities include those listed in Table 1

I. Background of Final Rule

    The Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, published on October
30, 2009 (74 FR 56260), requires reporting by certain facilities that
emit GHGs and by suppliers of fuels and industrial gases. Facilities
and suppliers that meet the applicability criteria in the rule must
comply with the general provisions (subpart A) and any other applicable
subpart(s). Subpart A specifies rule applicability and the general
monitoring, reporting, recordkeeping, verification, schedule, and
calibration requirements that apply to all facilities and suppliers
that are subject to the final rule. Some subparts of the final rule
address direct emitters, who generally must report emissions from
general stationary fuel combustion sources and any manufacturing
processes that are specified in the rule. Other subparts address
suppliers, who must report quantities of fuel products or industrial
gases they supply into the economy and the GHG emissions that could
ultimately be released when the fuels they supply are combusted or the
industrial gases they supply are used and released.
    As specified in subpart A of the 2009 final rule, facilities and
suppliers covered by the 2009 rule must begin monitoring emissions data
on January 1, 2010, and the first reports are due to EPA on March 31,
2011. EPA is currently in the process of conducting additional
rulemaking actions that would add subparts to the reporting rule. If
adopted, the new subparts would require reporting of emissions by
additional source and supply categories. Compliance with the
requirements of any new subparts would begin in future calendar years
(e.g., 2011) rather than 2010. Any comments about the actual reporting
date (e.g, March 31) for those additional source categories should be
directed to those separate rulemaking. We will not consider comments on
the reporting date as adverse comments in this rulemaking. Today's
minor revisions do not change the requirements of the final rule, but
rather reformat the regulatory text to allow for the addition of
subparts in the future in a simple and clear manner.

II. Overview of the Amendments

    The direct final rule amendment converts into a tabular format the
lists of source categories and supply categories that are affected by
the rule. The lists, which currently are embedded in three paragraphs
of subpart A (40 CFR 98.2(a)), are being moved to three new tables in
subpart A. Each table also indicates the applicable first reporting
year for each source and supply category. For source and supply
categories included in the 2009 final rule, the first reporting year
remains 2010.

    As a concurrent harmonizing change, all references to applicable
subparts (e.g., ``subparts C through JJ'') are being replaced by
references to the appropriate source or supply category table. EPA is
neither adding any new source categories in this direct final rule nor
making any changes to the applicability, schedule, or general
requirements for sources covered by the 2009 final rule. Any comments
about the applicability requirements reflected in the final rule will
not be considered adverse comment in this rulemaking. This rule is
merely reformatting those applicability requirements, not changing
them; therefore, they are not subject to comment in this rule. For more
information about applicability, please see the final GHG Mandatory
Reporting Rule (74 FR 56260) and corresponding Response to Comment
documents.
    Finally, EPA is also amending 40 CFR 98.3 in order to recognize
that the compliance year for any new subparts would be different than
for subparts covered by the 2009 final rule. Again, these revisions
would not change any requirements for sources covered by the 2009 final
rule. As stated above, the actual schedule for complying with new
subparts is not a subject for this rulemaking. Any comments about the
schedule for any new source categories added should be directed to
those rulemakings. For more information about the March 31, 2011
reporting date, please see the final GHG Mandatory Reporting Rule (74
FR 56260) and corresponding Response to Comment documents.

III. Rationale for the Amendments

    EPA is changing the framework of 40 CFR 98.2(a) to make it clear
which source categories are to be considered for determining
applicability and reporting requirements for calendar year 2010, and
which are to be considered for future years if and when new subparts
are added to the rule. In 40 CFR 98.3, EPA is modifying references to
calendar year 2010 as being the sole initial compliance year for all
rule requirements. The table format improves clarity and facilitates
the addition of subparts that were not included in the 2009 final rule.
Tables A-3 through A-5 replace the list of source categories in 40 CFR
98.2(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(4), respectively. Each table lists the
source categories subject to the rule in calendar year 2010 and also
includes a place to list applicable source categories in calendar year
2011 and future years.
    If new source and supply source categories are added to the rule,
this reformatting will simplify updates to the applicability provisions
of subpart A. If new subparts are adopted, a new row would simply be
added to the appropriate table for the appropriate starting year. To
carry these revisions through the rest of the regulatory text, the
introductory text of 40 CFR 98.2(a)(2) and a few other paragraphs
throughout 40 CFR part 98, subpart A that currently reference
``subparts C through JJ'' or ``subparts KK through PP'' are reworded to
refer to the appropriate tables. References to tables are an easy way
to clearly indicate which categories are to be considered for
determining the applicability threshold and reporting requirements for
calendar years 2010, 2011, and future years, without having to update
the list citations throughout the regulatory text every time a new
subpart is added to the rule.
    We are also revising 40 CFR 98.3(b), which establishes the schedule
for annual reporting. The text in 40 CFR 98.3(b)(1) and (b)(2)
currently indicates that existing facilities subject to the rule must
report emissions for calendar year 2010 by submitting an annual report
no later than March 31, 2011. The revisions to 40 CFR 98.3(b) do not
change the 2010 and 2011 dates for facilities and suppliers covered by
the 2009 final rule, but provide that as new subparts are added, they
will have later compliance years. Therefore, we are modifying the text
of 40 CFR 98.3(b) to allow reporting to start in different years, as
specified in the new source category tables. Any future rules adding
subparts would indicate the exact starting year for reporting for that
source category. This direct final rule merely removes the presumption
that all categories, existing and future, would report starting with
2010 emissions. Any comments about the reporting schedule for any new
source categories should be made in those separate rulemakings, rather
than here. We will not consider them adverse comments for the purposes
of this rulemaking.
    We also are removing and reserving 40 CFR 98.3(b)(1). This section
is not needed because the tables will indicate the first reporting year
for source categories added to the rule and the requirement for
facilities to report in each subsequent year is already contained in 40
CFR 98.2(i).
    We are also modifing the text of 40 CFR 98.3(i)(1) to allow
facilities that must report under any additional subparts to conduct
any intial calibrations that are required by the newly published
subparts during the first year that the subpart applies rather than in
the year 2010.
    As discussed throughout this rule, we are not changing any
requirements for facilities or suppliers covered by subparts included
in the 2009 final rule. Rather, we are merely reformatting the
presentation of certain requirements, and clarifying deadlines that may
apply to future subparts added in later rulemakings. Thus, as indicated
in the concurrent proposal, we are not requesting or entertaining
comments on decisions made in the 2009 final rule. Comments received on
issues resolved in the 2009 final rule will not be considered adverse
comments on this direct final rule because they are outside the scope
of the changes being made by this rule.

IV. Economic Impacts of the Amendments

    The amendments do not introduce any changes to the requirements of
the rule. Therefore, there are no economic or cost impacts associated
with this direct final rule.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
is therefore not subject to review under the Executive Order.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden.
The amendments in this direct final rule simply reformat parts of
subpart A and make other harmonizing changes to allow additional
subparts to be added into the final rule in a clear manner. This direct
final rule does not change any reporting requirements in the general
provisions. However, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
previously approved the information collection requirements contained
in the existing subparts of 40 CFR part 98 under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB
control number 2060-0629. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. Subparts that will be added
through separate rulemakings will document the respective information
collection requirements in their own ICR documents.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The RFA generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act

or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations,
and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined
by the Small Business Administration's regulations at 13 CFR 121.201;
(2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city,
county, town, school district or special district with a population of
less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-
profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of this final rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The direct
final rule simply reformats parts of one section of subpart A and makes
other harmonizing changes to allow additional subparts to be added into
the final rule in a clear manner. The direct final rule does not itself
add any additional subparts or requirements. The direct final rule will
not impose any new requirements on small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action contains no Federal mandates under the provisions of
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C.
1531-1538 for State, local, or tribal governments or the private
sector. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any State, local or
tribal governments or the private sector. Therefore, this action is not
subject to the requirements of sections 202 or 205 of the UMRA. This
action is also not subject to the requirements of section 203 of UMRA
because it contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly
or uniquely affect small governments. The amendments in this final rule
reformat parts of one section of Subpart A and make other harmonizing
changes to allow additional subparts to be added into the final rule in
a clear manner.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    EO 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by State and local officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have Federalism implications.'' ``Policies
that have Federalism implications'' is defined in the EO to include
regulations that have ``substantial direct effects 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.''
    This final rule does not have Federalism implications. It will not
have substantial direct effects 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,
as specified in EO 13132. However, for a more detailed discussion about
how the Mandatory GHG Reporting Rule relates to existing State
programs, please see Section II of the preamble to the final Mandatory
GHG Reporting Rule (74 FR 56266).
    These amendments apply directly to facilities that supply fuel or
chemicals that when used emit greenhouse gases or facilities that
directly emit greenhouses gases. They do not apply to governmental
entities unless the government entity owns a facility that directly
emits greenhouse gases above threshold levels (such as a landfill or
large stationary combustion source), so relatively few government
facilities would be affected. This regulation also does not limit the
power of States or localities to collect GHG data and/or regulate GHG
emissions. Thus, EO 13132 does not apply to this final rule.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). The changes in
this direct final rule do not result in any changes to the requirements
of the 2009 rule. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    This direct final rule is not subject to EO 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant as defined
in EO 12866, and because the Agency does not believe the environmental
health or safety risks addressed by this action present a
disproportionate risk to children. The changes in this direct final
rule do not result in any changes to the requirements applicable to
facilities and suppliers covered by the subparts included in the 2009
final rule.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling
procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
    This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA
did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes
Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
    EPA has determined that the direct final amendments will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because the amendments do
not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment. The amendments do not affect the level of protection
provided to human health or the environment because they simply
reformat parts of one section of subpart A and make other harmonizing
changes to allow additional subparts to be added into the final rule in
a clear manner.

K. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the U.S. prior to
publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2). This rule will be effective May 17, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
TFR Temporary Final Rule

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On May 14, 2014, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Safety Zone, Fireworks Display, Lake Michigan;
Winnetka, IL in the Federal Register (79 FR 27521). We received no
comments on the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested, and
none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 160.5;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard provided a comment period of 30 days and no
comments were received. Accordingly, we have made no changes from the
proposed rule.
    On August 16, 2014, a fireworks display is expected to take place
on Lake Michigan, Winnetka, IL, from a barge located at approximate
position 42[deg]06'24.19'' N, 087[deg]43'7.92'' W (NAD 83). The Captain
of the Port, Lake Michigan, has determined that an aerial firework
display presents a significant risk to public safety and property. Such
hazards include falling and flaming debris.
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan
or her designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or
her designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel
16.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We 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
small and enforced for a short duration of 45 minutes. Under certain
conditions, moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone
when permitted by the Captain of the Port or her designated on-scene
representative.

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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. 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.
    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this temporary rule on 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 a portion of Lake Michigan from 9:15 p.m. until 10 p.m. on

    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons cited in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section. Additionally, before the
enforcement of the zone, we would issue local Broadcast Notice to
Mariners so vessel owners and operators can plan 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 safety zone and,
therefore 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.

recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.
