SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes 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 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Marana Regional Airport, Marana, AZ, to support
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 40386; July 28, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0590 to
amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Marana Regional Airport, Marana, AZ. 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 JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 amends the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.7-mile
(increased from a 6.6-mile) radius of Marana Regional Airport, Marana,
AZ; adds an extension 3.8 miles each side of the 031[deg] bearing from
the airport extending from the 6.7-mile radius to 15.3 miles northeast
of the airport; adds an extension 3.4 miles each side of the 330[deg]
bearing from the airport extending from the 6.7-mile radius to 12.7
miles northwest of the airport; updates the header of the airspace
legal description to ``Marana, AZ'' (previously ``Marana Regional,
AZ'') to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; updates the
name of the airport (previously Marana Regional) to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database; and removes the exclusionary language as
it is no longer required.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Marana NDB which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures at this airport.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2012-0263]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone, East River, Brooklyn Bridge Scaffolding Repair,
Brooklyn, NY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
navigable waters of the East River, in the vicinity of the Brooklyn
Bridge. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life and
property on the navigable waters during emergency repairs to stabilize
and remove the damaged scaffolding under the eastern span of the
bridge. This rule is intended to restrict all vessels from a portion of
the East River during the repair and removal of the damaged
scaffolding.

DATES: This rule is effective from March 27, 2012 until April 30, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2012-0263 and are available online
by going to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2012-0263 in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final 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 immediate action is necessary to
ensure the safety of mariners and vessels intending to transit on the
East River in the vicinity of the Brooklyn Bridge where damaged
corrugated metal scaffoldings and loosely hanging cables pose a
potential hazard to navigation. Temporary repairs of the damaged
section of the scaffolding are currently ongoing. The removal of the
scaffolding is expected to take approximately three to four weeks.
During this period falling debris may pose an imminent danger to the
safety of the vessels and their occupants transiting the East River in
the vicinity of the Brooklyn Bridge. Therefore, a temporary safety zone
to protect transiting mariners and vessels from this hazard is needed
immediately.
    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. The Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication because to do otherwise would be contrary to the public
interest since immediate action is required to protect mariners and
vessels transiting under the bridge while workers conduct emergency
repairs and removal of the damaged scaffolding.

Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter
701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6,
160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    On March 14, 2012 the Coast Guard received a report that a crane
barge struck the scaffolding under the eastern span of the Brooklyn
Bridge. As a result of the allision the corrugated metal panels that
make up the scaffolding structure were damaged and some of the cables
that supported the scaffolding were broken and are loosely hanging

approximately 15 feet from the bottom of the bridge, effectively
reducing the vertical clearance of the bridge. As a result of the
decreased clearance, Vessel Traffic Service New York implemented a
temporary measure restricting vessels with an air draft greater than 90
feet from transiting under the Brooklyn Bridge.
    During a meeting with New York City Office of Emergency Management
the Coast Guard was advised that some of the corrugated metal
scaffolding panels that were struck and damaged were not properly
secured and may pose a hazard to vessels intending to transit under
that portion of the Brooklyn Bridge. The Coast Guard and New York
Police Department Harbor Unit began advising vessels to transit around
the impacted area. New York City Office of Emergency Management on
behalf of the Unified Command requested that the Coast Guard establish
a temporary safety zone to restrict vessels from transiting under the
eastern portion of the Brooklyn Bridge until emergency temporary
repairs and removal of the scaffolding and cables have been completed.
    This temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and their occupants during the emergency repairs and removal of
the scaffolding under the bridge. The Captain of the Port New York
(COTP) has determined that establishing a temporary safety zone to
restrict vessels from transiting on the East River under the eastern
portion of the Brooklyn Bridge where scaffolding are being repaired or
removed will help ensure the safety of persons and property and help
minimize the associated risks associated with the emergency repair
work.

Discussion of Rule

    The COTP is establishing a temporary safety zone to ensure the
safety of mariners, passengers, and vessels during the emergency repair
and removal work necessary to stabilize the damaged scaffolding on the
Brooklyn Bridge.
    The safety zone will encompass all waters of the East River
directly below the scaffolding under the eastern portion of the bridge,
from the centerline of the bridge to the tower on the Brooklyn side.
The safety zone will encompass the navigable waters within a 270 yards
by 50 yards area on the eastern side of the East River directly below
the east span of the Brooklyn Bridge. All persons and vessels shall
comply with the instructions of the COTP or the designated
representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety
zone is prohibited unless authorized by the COTP New York or the
designated representative. The COTP or the designated representative
may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

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.

Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, as supplemented by Executive order 13563,
Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The
Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    This determination is based on the fact that a temporary safety
zone will restrict access to a small portion of the navigable waterways
of the East River. Vessels will be able to navigate around the safety
zone. Furthermore, vessels may be authorized to transit through the
temporary safety zone with the permission of the COTP or the designated
representative.

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 will affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in a small portion of the East River during the
effective period.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reason: Vessel
traffic can pass safely around the safety zone. Before the effective
period, we will issue maritime advisories widely available to users of
the waterway.

Assistance for Small Entities

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

Collection of Information

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

Federalism

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

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (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 which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule involves establishment of a
temporary safety zone on the waters of the East River in the vicinity
of Brooklyn Bridge. An environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination will be available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Availability of a Final Environmental Assessment (Final
EA) and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision
(ROD) for the Proposed Airport Development at Sawyer County Airport,
Hayward, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Final Environmental Assessment
(Final EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Proposed Airport Development at Sawyer County
Airport, Hayward, Wisconsin.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this
notice to advise the public that the FAA has prepared, and approved on
May 16, 2010, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of
Decision (ROD) based on the Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA)
for the Proposed Airport Development at Sawyer County Airport, Hayward,
Wisconsin. The FAA prepared the Final EA in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act and the FAA's regulations and
guidelines for environmental documents. The Final EA was reviewed and
evaluated by the FAA, and was accepted on February 16, 2010 as a
Federal document by the FAA's Responsible Federal Official. Copies of
the FONSI/ROD and/or Final EA are available by contacting Ms. Virginia
Marcks through the contact information provided below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Virginia Marcks, Manager,
Infrastructure Engineering Center, AJW-C14D, Federal Aviation
Administration, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018.
Telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final EA evaluated the Proposed Airport
Development at Sawyer County Airport

(HYR) in Hayward, Wisconsin. The Proposed Airport Development would
increase aviation safety by adding an Instrument Landing System (ILS)
to HYR, which would allow aircraft to land under certain conditions
when the weather conditions are poor (i.e., rain, snow, fog, etc). The
establishment of an ILS at HYR would also allow the airport to serve as
an alternate for other area airports that do not have precision
instrument approach capabilities, as there are no airports within 58
miles that are equipped with an ILS.
    The FAA and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Bureau of
Aeronautics (WisDOT BOA) jointly prepared the Final EA, pursuant to the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Wisconsin
Environmental Policy Act, respectively. A joint Federal-State EA was
prepared since the Proposed Airport Development includes both Federal
actions and State block program actions. Actions for the proposed
airport development would be taken by the FAA or WisDOT BOA.
    Specific construction activities of the Proposed Airport
Development include: demolition of approximately 6,435 feet of Airport
Road; construction of approximately 6,405 feet of relocated Airport
Road; installation of ILS components on the north end of Runway 20;
construction of access roads and equipment shelter buildings;
construction of the parallel taxiway/ramp expansion on the west side of
the runway; obstruction removal, including clearing 27.7 acres of
conifer swamp, 11.3 acres of lowland hardwoods swamp, and 10.3 acres of
shrub-carr; acquisition of 66 acres of land; and relocation and/or
removal of Runway 20 navigational aids.
    The Final EA has been prepared in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, and FAA Order
1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures.'' In
addition, FAA Order 5050.4B, ``National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions'' has been used as
guidance in the preparation of the environmental analysis.

    Issued in Des Plaines, Illinois, on July 13, 2010.

Manager, Infrastructure Engineering Center, Chicago, AJW-C14D, Federal
Aviation Administration.
