B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this rule is: 33 U.S.C. 471, 1221 through 1236,
2030, 2035, 2071; 33 CFR 1.05-1; and Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to
define anchorage grounds.
    This proposal was assessed as part of a Waterways Analysis and
Management System (WAMS) review of the New York Vessel Traffic Lanes
and Approaches to New York Harbor with the intent of optimizing the
waterway and aids to navigation. The Coast Guard received six responses
to the survey included in the WAMS review. The survey responses
reported that Anchorage Ground No. 27(ii) Romer Shoal and Anchorage
Ground No. 27(iii) Flynns Knoll, near Sandy Hook, NJ are not used
because their locations leave vessels exposed to swells and that there
are safer anchorage grounds available in Lower New York and Sandy Hook
Bays.
    The New York District Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) was consulted
on this regulation and had no objections.
    In addition, the Hudson River Pilots Association requested the
Coast Guard establish a federal anchorage ground near Yonkers, NY on
the Hudson River.
    The purpose of this rule is to accommodate ship traffic awaiting
berthing space, favorable weather, daylight hours, tidal conditions for
transits, and/or other unforeseen conditions to improve navigation
safety; clarify positions of current areas being used for vessels
anchoring; and reduce regulatory burden by disestablishing anchorage
grounds that are no longer used and therefore deemed unnecessary.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    We propose to establish a new Anchorage Ground No. 18 in the Hudson
River west of Yonkers, NY. The anchorage ground would be approximately
0.22 square nautical miles (2,010 yards long by 420 to 470 yards wide).
The eastern boundary of this anchorage ground would be about 470 yards
west of the Yonkers Municipal Pier. The Hudson River Pilots requested
this anchorage ground be established for the following reasons: a) for
vessels waiting favorable tides and/or daylight to transit to upstream
ports on the Hudson River, b) for vessels waiting anchorage space in
New York Harbor to take on bunker fuel and/or stores, and c) to relieve
congestion in New York Harbor anchorage grounds. The proposed anchorage
ground would formalize and codify the current anchoring practices of
commercial vessels in Yonkers, NY. The anchorage ground would
adequately accommodate two ships at a time and would provide sufficient
maneuvering clearance for ships entering or departing the anchorage
ground. An area approximately 1,030 feet east of this anchorage ground
would be in place for vessels to transit and still not interfere with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District designated 600 foot
wide federal navigation channel. This anchorage ground would only be
authorized for usage by ships.
    We propose to reduce the size of the current Anchorage Ground No.
17 by an area of approximately 0.07 square nautical miles (910 yards
long by 300 yards wide). This proposed reduction at the northeast
corner of the current Anchorage Ground No. 17 is intended to limit
confusion caused by the overlapping of the southwest corner of the
proposed new Anchorage Ground No. 18 with the current northeast corner
of Anchorage Ground No. 17.

    We propose to update the description of the Anchorage Ground No.
27(i) boundary in the Atlantic Ocean. This is necessary due to the
disestablishment of Sandy Hook Light 15, which was used as a reference
point. We would update the other anchorage ground coordinates to
correspond to what is currently displayed on the navigation charts.
Additionally, we would re-designate the anchorage ground as Anchorage
Ground No. 27 due to the proposed disestablishment of Anchorage Ground
No. 27(ii) at 33 CFR 110.155(f)(2)(ii) and Anchorage Ground No. 27(iii)
at 33 CFR 110.155(f)(2)(iii).
    We propose to disestablish Anchorage Ground No. 27(ii) Romer Shoal
and Anchorage Ground No. 27(iii) Flynns Knoll, near Sandy Hook, NJ. The
irregular shaped area of Anchorage Ground No. 27(ii) Romer Shoal is
about 4.08 square nautical miles (5.5 nautical miles long by 0.3 to 1.3
nautical miles wide). The irregular bowl-shaped area of Anchorage
Ground No. 27(iii) Flynns Knoll is about 3.35 square nautical miles.
These proposals were reviewed as part of a Waterways Analysis and
Management System (WAMS) review of the New York Vessel Traffic Lanes
and Approaches to New York Harbor with the intent of optimizing the
waterway and the aids to navigation therein. The Coast Guard received
six responses to the survey included in the WAMS review. The survey
responses reported that these two anchorage grounds are not used
because their locations leave vessels exposed to swells and there are
safer anchorage grounds available in the Lower New York and Sandy Hook
Bays. These anchorage grounds provide better protection from impacts of
winds and seas on anchored vessels than the offshore Anchorage Grounds
No. 27(ii) and No. 27(iii).

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We expect minimal additional cost impacts to the industry because
this rule is not imposing fees, permits, or specialized requirements
for the maritime industry to utilize these anchorage grounds. The
effect of this rule would not be significant as it removes two obsolete
anchorage grounds that are no longer used and codifies one anchorage
ground that is currently used by commercial vessels as a general
anchorage area. This would represent an improvement to the safety of
vessels using the anchorage grounds, facilitate the transit of deep
draft vessels through the adjoining waterways, and increase mariner
awareness that they can expect to find anchored vessels in the
vicinity.

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 certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels that
have a need to anchor or transit through the lower Hudson River near
Yonkers, NY; and Lower New York Bay near Romer Shoal and Flynns Knoll
near Sandy Hook, NJ.
    This proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule would only codify current navigation practices already in use by
commercial vessels in these areas. The anchorage grounds would not
affect vessels' schedules or their abilities to freely transit near
these areas within the Captain of the Port New York zone. The anchorage
grounds would not impose any monetary expenses on small entities
because it does not require them to purchase any new equipment, hire
additional crew, or make any other expenditures.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

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

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

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

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

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

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

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

11. Indian Tribal Governments

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

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

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

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
involves disestablishing two unused anchorage grounds, establishing one
anchorage ground, updates the coordinates of one anchorage ground, and
reduces the size of one anchorage ground resulting in a reduction in
the overall size of the anchorage grounds by 7.28 square nautical miles
in the Captain of the Port New York zone. This rule may be
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(f) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental
analysis checklist is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-68352; File No. SR-CBOE-2012-113]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend the CBOE Stock Exchange Fees Schedule

December 4, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on November 21, 2012, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fees Schedule of its CBOE Stock
Exchange (``CBSX''). The text of the proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange's Web site (www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, and at the Commission.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the CBSX Fees Schedule with regards
to connectivity fees. CBSX recently moved its trading systems over to
the Equinix NY4 facility (``NY4''). As of December 1, 2012, CBOE will
also be moving its trading systems over to NY4. CBOE and CBSX will be
retaining some trading systems in Chicago (the ``Disaster Recovery
Systems'') in case of the occurrence of some manner of disaster which
prevents NY4 from operating. These Disaster Recovery Systems can be
accessed via Network Access Ports in Chicago (the ``Disaster Recovery
Network Access Ports''). CBSX market participants may maintain Disaster
Recovery Network Access Ports in order to be able to connect to the
Disaster Recovery Systems in case of such disaster. The fee for a
Disaster Recovery Network Access Port will be $250 per month ($500 for
Sponsored Users; for connectivity fees, CBSX charges twice the rate for
Sponsored Users as for regular access, and therefore merely proposes to
apply the same concept to the new Disaster Recovery Network Access Port
fees). This amount will allow the Exchange to maintain the Disaster
Recovery Network Access Ports in case they become necessary.
    CBSX and CBOE can be accessed via the same Network Access Port. In
order to prevent market participants accessing both CBOE and CBSX from
having to pay two separate Network Access Port fees (one to CBOE and
one to CBSX) for using the same Network Access Port, the Exchange
proposes to amend the CBSX Fees Schedule to state that any CBSX market
participant that accesses both CBOE and CBSX via the same Network
Access Port will only be assessed the CBOE Network Access Port fee for
that port. This also applies to Disaster Recovery Network Access Ports,
meaning that a CBSX market participant that connects to the CBOE and
CBSX Disaster Recover Systems via a Disaster Recovery Network Access
Port will only need to pay the CBOE Disaster Recovery Network Access
Port fee.
    The proposed change is to take effect on December 1, 2012.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\3\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\4\ which provides that
Exchange rules may provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and
other persons using its facilities. The fee for Disaster Recovery
Network Access Ports is reasonable because it will allow CBSX to
maintain those ports in case of necessity. The fee for Disaster
Recovery Network Access Ports is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because it will be applied equally to all CBSX market
participants wishing to maintain a connection to the Disaster Recovery
Systems via a Disaster Recovery Network Access Port (except Sponsored
Users). Assessing higher fees for Sponsored Users is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because Sponsored Users are able to access the
Exchange and use the equipment provided without possessing a trading
permit. As such, CBSX Traders who have a trading permit will have a
higher level of commitment to transacting business on CBSX and using
Exchange facilities than Sponsored Users. Finally, these differences in
the amounts for Sponsored Users and regular users maintain the same
proportional

difference as that for other connectivity fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Allowing a CBSX market participant that accesses both CBOE and CBSX
via the same Network Access Port to only be assessed the CBOE Network
Access Port fee for that port (for Disaster Recovery Network Access
Port fees, as well) is reasonable because it allows such CBSX market
participants that access both CBOE and CBSX via the same Network Access
Port to avoid having to pay two fees for one port. This is equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory because there is only one port being
accessed, and because it will be applied to all CBSX market
participants that access both CBOE and CBSX via the same Network Access
Port.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) \5\ of the Act and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \6\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Sacramento River, Freeport, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Sacramento County highway bridge
across the Sacramento River, mile 46.0, at Freeport, CA. The deviation
is necessary to allow participants in the AMGEN Tour of California
bicycle race to cross the drawspan safely and without interruption.
This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation
position during the deviation period.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 11 a.m. through 3 p.m. on May
17, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-0431, is available

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Carl T. Hausner, Chief, Bridge
Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sacramento County has requested a temporary
change to the operation of the Sacramento County highway bridge, mile
46.0, over the Sacramento River, at Freeport, CA. The drawbridge
navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 29 feet above Mean
High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw operates as
required by 33 CFR 117.189(b). Navigation on the waterway is commercial
and recreational.
    The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position
from 11 a.m. through 3 p.m. on May 17, 2018, to allow the participants
in the AMGEN Tour of California bicycle race to cross the drawspan
safely and without interruption. This temporary deviation has been
coordinated with the waterway users. No objections to the proposed
temporary deviation were raised.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may
do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and
there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast
Guard will also inform the users of the waterway through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: May 9, 2018.

In reviewing EPA's aforementioned notice, we see that a correction identifies the publication date as having been delayed by three days.  Correspondingly, one would reasonably expect the required receipt date to have been extended to maintain the stated 30-day period.

I am writing to ask if EPA will be sending an update to revise the submission deadline appropriately to September 29, 2012, allowing for 30 days to comment following constructive notice.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    In 2011, the Coast Guard received requests to formally establish
anchorages in the Atlantic Ocean offshore from the Delaware coast in
response to the Atlantic Coast Port Access Route Study (ACPARS). The
ACPARS is available at https://navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=PARSReports.
The Federal Pilots and the Mariners' Advisory Committee for the Bay and
River Delaware requested formal anchorage grounds be established to the
east and the west of the Southeastern Approach traffic separation
scheme in order to preserve areas traditionally used for anchoring from
offshore development. The Coast Guard held meetings on July 12, 2018,
and August 21, 2018, with maritime stakeholders and waterway users to
discuss the impacts to vessel traffic and navigation safety on the
Delaware Bay and River due to the expansion of the Panama Canal and the
planned deepening of the Delaware River from 40 to 45 feet. The
attendees determined that the increased volume of vessel traffic and
the size of vessels calling on the Delaware Bay and River, combined
with planned and potential offshore development, heightened the need to
formally establish new anchorage grounds.
    On November 29, 2019, the Coast Guard published a Notice of Inquiry
(NOI) in the Federal Register (81 FR 25854). There, we stated why we
issued the NOI and invited comments on our inquiry into the
establishment of two anchorages offshore Delaware Bay and one inshore,
at the breakwater of Cape Henlopen. We received 42 comments.
    After considering all comments on the NOI, the Coast Guard
published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register (87 FR 16126) on March 22, 2022. There, we stated why we
issued the NPRM and why we decided to move forward with only two of the
proposed anchorages: Anchorage C--Cape Henlopen and Anchorage D--Indian
River. We invited comments on the proposed rulemaking. We received one
comment.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The legal basis and authorities for this rule are found in 46
U.S.C. 70006 and 33 CFR 1.05-1, DHS Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to propose, establish, and
define regulatory anchorage grounds.
    The purpose of this rule is to improve navigation safety by
accommodating recent and anticipated future growth in cargo vessel size
and volume of vessel traffic entering the Delaware Bay and River, and
to preserve areas traditionally used or needed for anchoring.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received one comment on our NPRM published March
22, 2022. That comment had two parts. First, that we consider revising
the regulatory language used to describe the anchorage coordinates in
order to aid cartography and comprehension. Second, that we consider
the impact of a sunken wreck located within the area of Anchorage D--
Indian River on anchoring vessels. In this section, we discuss how we
responded to each part of this comment and the Final Rule.

A. Regulatory Language

    Regarding the language used in the Rule, the comment recommended
revising paragraphs (a)(19) and (a)(20) by removing text reading, ``The
waters bounded by a line connecting the following points:,'' and
replacing it

with, ``All waters bound by the following points:.'' The Coast Guard
agrees with this recommendation with the intent to assist cartography.
The revision has been implemented into the regulatory text at the end
of this rulemaking. All other regulatory text remaining unchanged.

B. Wreckage in Anchorage D--Indian River

    The comment identifies a sunken wreck located at 74[deg]50'32.463''
W, 38[deg]30'31.788'' N (WGS 1984), which is located within the
boundaries of Anchorage D--Indian River and requests the Coast Guard
determine the possibility of adverse effects caused by this obstruction
in the anchorage ground. The Coast Guard finds that this wreckage is
relatively small in nature compared to the overall size of the
anchorage area and charted depth of water, which leaves sufficient area
within the anchorage for the use of vessels to anchor away from this
obstruction. The Coast Guard also believes this is a well-documented
and well-charted wreckage, and that a prudent mariner would avoid
anchoring over such an object. The Coast Guard finds that overall risk
of adverse effects from wreckage to be very low and made no changes to
this rule in response.

C. Final rule

    This rule formally establishes two new anchorage grounds, Anchorage
C--Cape Henlopen and Anchorage D--Indian River. Anchorage C--Cape
Henlopen will be located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 9.4 miles
east of the Delaware coast in naturally deep water with charted depths
between 41 and 85 feet. Anchorage D--Indian River will be located in
the Atlantic Ocean beginning approximately 6 miles east of the Delaware
coast in naturally deep water with charted depths between 40 and 85
feet. The specific coordinates for these anchorage grounds are included
in the regulatory text at the end of this document.

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 location and
size of the proposed anchorage grounds, as well as the vessel traffic
and anchoring data provided by the Coast Guard Navigation Center. The
regulation would ensure approximately 27 square miles of anchorage
grounds are designated to provide necessary commercial deep draft
anchorages and enhance the navigational safety of commercial vessels
transiting to, from, and within the Delaware Bay and River. The impacts
on routine navigation are expected to be minimal because the proposed
anchorage areas are located outside of the established traffic
separation zones and are consistent with current anchoring habits of
vessels that call on the Delaware River. When not occupied, vessels
would be able to maneuver in, around, and through the anchorages.

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 did not receive any comments from the Small
Business Administration on this rulemaking. 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.
    The number of small entities impacted and the extent of the impact,
if any, is expected to be minimal. Anchorage C--Cape Henlopen and
Anchorage D--Indian River are located in an area of the Atlantic Ocean,
which is not a popular or productive fishing location. Further, the
location is not in an area routinely transited by vessels heading to,
or returning from, known fishing grounds. Finally, the anchorage is
located in an area that is not currently used by small entities,
including small vessels, for anchoring due to the depth of water
naturally present in the area.
    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 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, 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 do not individually or cumulatively have
a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
amending the regulations for Delaware Bay and River anchorage grounds
by establishing two new anchorage regulations; Anchorage C--Cape
Henlopen and Anchorage D--Indian River. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph L59(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.
