SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On April 11, 2011, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Patapsco
River, Northwest Harbor, Baltimore, MD'' in the Federal Register (76 FR
69). We received no comments on the proposed rule. No public meeting
was requested, and none was held.

Basis and Purpose

    On June 25, 2011, Baltimore Dragon Boat Club, Inc. will sponsor
Dragon Boat Races in the Patapsco River, Northwest Harbor, at
Baltimore, MD. The event will consist of approximately 15 teams rowing
Chinese Dragon Boats in heats of 2 or 3 boats for a distance of 500-
meters. Due to the need for vessel control during the event, the Coast
Guard will temporarily restrict vessel traffic in the event area to
provide for the safety of participants, spectators, and other
transiting vessels.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard received no comments in response to the NPRM. No
public meeting was requested and none was held.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

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 that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. Although this
regulation will prevent traffic from transiting a portion of the
Patapsco River during the event, the effect of this regulation will not
be significant due to the limited duration that the regulated area will
be in effect and the extensive advance notifications that will be made
to the maritime community via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine
information broadcasts, so mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.
Additionally, the regulated area has been narrowly tailored to impose
the least impact on general navigation yet provide the level of safety
deemed necessary. Vessel traffic will be able to transit the regulated
area at slow speed between heats, when the Coast Guard Patrol Commander
deems it safe to do so.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending
to transit or anchor in the effected portions of the Patapsco River
during the event.
    Although this regulation prevents traffic from transiting a portion
of the Patapsco River, Northwest Harbor during the event, this proposed
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the following reasons. This proposed rule
would be in effect for only a limited period. Vessel traffic will be
able to transit the regulated area between heats,

when the Coast Guard Patrol Commander deems it safe to do so. Before
the enforcement period, we will issue maritime advisories so mariners
can adjust their plans accordingly.

Assistance for Small Entities

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

Collection of Information

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

Federalism

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

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (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.

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.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

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

Indian Tribal Governments

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

Energy Effects

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

Technical Standards

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

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under 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 concluded
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 is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of
the Instruction. This 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.
The category of water activities includes but is not limited to sail
boat regattas, boat parades, power boat racing, swimming events, crew
racing, canoe and sail board racing. An environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

Subject: RE: Allegheny County agree to make method 303 tests possible at Clairton

Hello All  -  Thank you for your summary of the proposed work to respond to the CAA section 114 request. It is not clear from the PowerPoint that swapping sides is being done as we requested. We asked for 2 people at each observation position, as in your proposal, but we also asked for swapping positions so that at least one observer that was on the bench for one traverse would be in the yard for the second traverse. The swapping was to account for any bias. We need clarification and confirmation on this point.
