SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57134; File No. SR-Phlx-2005-68]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Order Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1
Thereto Relating to Deletion of Rule 702, Carrying Accounts

January 11, 2008.

I. Introduction

    On November 9, 2005, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.
(``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposal to delete Phlx Rule 702. regarding Carrying
Accounts. Phlx filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change on
January 18, 2007. Notice of the proposal, as amended, was published for
comment in the Federal Register on February 14, 2007.\3\ The Commission
received no comments regarding the proposal. This order approves the
proposed rule change, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Exchange Act Release No. 55256 (Feb. 8, 2007), 72 FR 7106
(Feb. 14, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    The purpose of the proposed rule change to delete Rule 702,
Carrying Accounts, is to eliminate an unnecessary and confusing
Exchange rule. Currently, Rule 702 provides that ``[n]o member, doing
business as an individual, shall carry accounts for customers, except
as provided in Rule 903.'' \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The reference to Rule 903 is clearly an incorrect reference
which should be to Rule 904, Use of a Partnership Name, which
provides that ``[n]o member shall conduct business under a
partnership firm name unless he has at least one general partner,
provided, however, that if by death or otherwise a member becomes
the sole general partner in a member organization that is a
partnership he may continue business under the partnership name for
such period as may be allowed by the Committee.''

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

    Rule 702 is unnecessary because a Phlx member's ability to carry
customer accounts is dictated by its ability to comply with relevant
securities laws and regulations, including Exchange Act Rules 15c3-1
and 15c3-3, which do not make distinctions on the basis of a broker-
dealer's organizational and corporate structure.
    Rule 702 creates confusion because virtually all ``members'' are
individuals. The term ``member'' (as opposed to ``member
organization'') is defined in Exchange Rules as a permit holder which
has not been terminated in accordance with the by-laws of the
Exchange.\5\ Currently, the only issued and outstanding Exchange
permits are Series A-1 Permits, the terms and conditions of which are
governed by Rule 908. Among other things, section (b) of Rule 908
provides that a Series A-1 permit shall only be issued to an
individual.\6\ Pursuant to Rule 908, all Series A-1 permit holders must
maintain an affiliation with a ``member organization,'' which are not
subject to Rule 702.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Exchange By-Law Article I, Section 1(t) and Exchange
Rule 1(n). Exchange By-Law Article XII, Section 1(b) provides in
part that ``[e]xcept as otherwise set forth in the rules of the
Exchange or any resolution of the Board of Governors authorizing a
specific class or series of permits, a permit will confer upon and
subject the holder thereof to all the privileges and obligations of
a member pursuant to these By-Laws and the rules of the Exchange, *
* * and to conduct business on the Exchange as provided in these By-
Laws and such rules.''
    \6\ Rule 908 does contain one exception, which is not relevant
to this analysis, that provides that a Series A-1 Permit may also be
issued to ``a corporation meeting the requirements of Section 12-4
of the By-Laws.'' Section 12-4 of the By-Laws, Admission of
Corporation, provides that ``[a] corporation may be issued a permit
by the Exchange, provided such corporation is incorporated under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and all of its capital
stock is owned by the Exchange.'' This By-Law provision was intended
to permit Exchange membership for the Exchange's subsidiary, Stock
Clearing Corporation of Philadelphia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\7\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposal is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires, among other
things, that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes it is reasonable and consistent with the
Act for the Exchange to eliminate an unnecessary and confusing Exchange
rule.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\8\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-Phlx-2005-68) be and
hereby is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

Deputy Secretary.

standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform its
intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human health
or the environment. Registration review dockets contain information
that will assist the public in understanding the types of information
and issues that the Agency may consider during the course of
registration reviews. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.

health, farmworker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

 B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
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.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Authority

    EPA is initiating its reviews of the pesticides identified in this
document pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural Regulations
for Registration Review published in the Federal Register of August 9,
2006, and effective on October 10, 2006 (71 FR 45719) (FRL-8080-4). You
may also access the Procedural Regulations for Registration Review on
the Agency's website at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2006/August/Day-09/p12904.htm.
 Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other

things, that the registrations of pesticides are to be periodically
reviewed. The goal is a review of a pesticide's registration every 15
years. Under FIFRA section 3(a), a pesticide product may be registered
or remain registered only if it meets the statutory standard for
registration given in FIFRA section 3(c)(5). When used in accordance
with widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product
must perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects
on the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or
the environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from
the use of a pesticide in or on food.

III. Registration Reviews

 A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is periodically reviewing
pesticide registrations to assure that they continue to satisfy the
FIFRA standard for registration--that is, they can still be used
without unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the
environment. The implementing regulations establishing the procedures
for registration review appear at 40 CFR part 155. A pesticide's
registration review begins when the Agency establishes a docket for the
pesticide's registration review case and opens the docket for public
review and comment. At present, EPA is opening a registration review
docket for the case identified in the following table.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0843]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Fireworks Display; Hood River, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary safety
zone for certain waters of the Columbia River. This action is necessary
to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters near Hood
River, Oregon, during a fireworks display on December 31, 2023. This
proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering
the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector
Columbia River or a designated representative. We invite your comments
on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before December 4, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2023-0843 using the Federal Decision-Making Portal at https://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 LT Carlie Gilligan, Waterways
Management Division, Sector Columbia River, Coast Guard; telephone 503-
240-9319, email [email protected].

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Columbia River
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On August 15, 2023, the Hood River Fireworks, LLC notified the
Coast Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display from 8 to
8:30 p.m. on December 31, 2023. The fireworks are to be launched from
Hood River Spit, approximately 1000 feet south of the Columbia River in
Hood River, OR. Hazards from firework displays include accidental
discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers
or other debris. The Captain of the Port Sector Columbia River (COTP)
has determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks to
be used in this display would be a safety concern for anyone within a
1000-foot radius of the discharge site.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within a 1000-foot radius of the fireworks
barge before, during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard is
proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP is proposing to establish a safety zone from 7:30 to 9
p.m. on December 31, 2023. The safety zone would cover all navigable
waters within 1000 feet of the Hood River Spit, located approximately
1000 feet south of the Columbia River in Hood River, OR. The duration
of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these
navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled fireworks
display. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. 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. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. The safety zone created by
this proposed rule is designed to minimize its impact on navigable
waters. The safety zone will impact approximately a 1000-foot area at
the intersection of the Columbia and Hood Rivers and is not anticipated
to exceed 1.5 hours in duration. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement
within that particular area are expected to be minimal. Moreover, under
certain conditions vessels may still transit through the safety zone
when permitted by the COTP. The Coast Guard would issue a Notice to
Mariners about the zone, and the rule would allow vessels to seek
permission to enter the zone.

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 proposed 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 (Public Law 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the proposed 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. 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 call or email 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 potential effects of
this proposed 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 a safety
zone lasting 1.5 hours that would prohibit entry within 1000 feet of
the fireworks discharge site located on Hood River Spit. Normally such
actions are 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 preliminary 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. 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 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.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
all navigable waters between Lower Mississippi River mile marker 99.3
and mile marker 100.3, above Head of Passes. Entry of vessels or
persons into this zone, or movement of vessels within this zone, is
prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port
Sector New Orleans or a designated representative.

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
MM Mile Marker
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. The Coast Guard
was notified of this event on December 17, 2018. We must establish this
safety zone by December 31, 2018 and lack sufficient time to provide a
reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before
issuing this rule. Immediate action is needed to respond to the
potential safety hazards associated with a fireworks display.
    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 contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated
with a fireworks display.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Sector New Orleans (COTP) has determined
that potential hazards associated with a fireworks display are a safety
concern for anyone within a one-mile stretch of the Lower Mississippi
River between Mile Marker (MM) 99.3 and MM 100.3. This rule is needed
to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the
navigable waters within the safety zone during the fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 10 p.m. through 11 p.m. on
December 31, 2018. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters
between Mile Marker (MM) 99.3 and MM 100.3 on the Lower Mississippi
River, above Head of Passes. The duration of the zone is intended to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these
navigable waters from the hazards associated with a fireworks display.
No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative. A
designated representative is a commissioned, warrant, or petty officer
of the U.S. Coast Guard assigned to units under the operational control
of USCG Sector New Orleans. Vessels requiring entry into this safety
zone must request permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. They may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16 or 67.
Persons and vessels permitted to enter or to move within this safety
zone must transit at their slowest safe speed and comply with all
lawful directions issued by the COTP or the designated representative.
The COTP or a designated representative will inform the public through
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of any changes in the planned schedule.

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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. 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), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be able to transit around the safety zone, which will impact a
small designated area of the Lower Mississippi River for one hour
during the evening. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners about the zone, and the rule allows vessels to seek
permission to enter the zone.

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
temporary 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 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. 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
Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, 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 being established for one hour in the evening and
encompassing one mile of the Lower Mississippi River for a fireworks
display. 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. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting
this determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

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.
