SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On April 18, 2002, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM)
[[Page 44559]]
entitled Safety Zone; Captain of the Port Milwaukee Zone in the Federal
Register (67 FR 19144). We received no letters commenting on the
proposed rule. No public hearing was requested, and none was held.
The Coast Guard is establishing 29 permanent safety zones that will
be enforced during fireworks displays occurring annually at the same
location. The 29 locations are the Henry W. Maier Festival Park Harbor
Island, Outer Milwaukee Harbor, Lake Michigan; 80 feet east of the
Annheuser Busch grain elevator, Manitowoc River; 100 feet out on the
South Pier, Sheboygan Harbor, Sheboygan River, and Lake Michigan; C
Reiss Coal Co. Beach, Lake Michigan and Sheboygan River; Wolfen Buttel
Park, Lake Michigan and Kenosha Harbor entrance; Veterans Park, outer
Milwaukee Harbor, Lake Michigan; Stephenson Island, Menominee River;
150 feet off Pere Marquette Park, Milwaukee River; 1000 feet east of
Manitowoc Yacht Club, Lake Michigan; north breakwall at the elbow,
Racine Harbor and Lake Michigan; Leichts Park and the Western Lime
Corp. & Leichts Transfer Storage Companies private property, Fox River;
Henry W. Maier Festival Park Harbor Island Lagoon, outer Milwaukee
Harbor, Lake Michigan; South Shore Park, Lake Michigan; South Pier,
Kewaunee Harbor and Lake Michigan; Wisconsin Electric Coal Dock, Port
Washington Harbor, Lake Michigan; 1000 feet off Menominee Marina, Lake
Michigan; 360 feet off Sturgeon Bay Yacht Harbor, Sturgeon Bay Canal;
South breakwall at the second elbow, Algoma Harbor and Lake Michigan;
560 feet off Sister Municipal Marina, Lake Michigan; between East
Chicago St. and Humboldt Ave, Milwaukee River; and 500 feet out on the
South Pier, Sheboygan Harbor and Lake Michigan.
Based on recent accidents that have occurred in other Captain of
the Port zones, and the explosive hazard associated with these events,
the Captain of the Port has determined that fireworks launches in close
proximity to watercraft pose a significant risk to public safety and
property. The likely combination of large numbers of inexperienced
recreational boaters, congested waterways, darkness punctuated by
bright flashes of light, alcohol use, and debris falling into the water
could easily result in serious injuries or fatalities. Establishing a
safety zone to control vessel movement around the fireworks launch
platforms will help ensure the safety of persons and property at these
events and help minimize the associated risk. 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.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
MSO Milwaukee received no comments or related information
pertaining to this rulemaking.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, 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. It is not ``significant'' under the
regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation
(DOT) (44 FR 11040, February 26, 1979).
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 might
be small entities: The owners or operators of commercial vessels
intending to transit a portion of an activated safety zone.
These safety zones would not have a significant economic impact on
these small entities for the following reasons: The safety zone is only
in effect for a few hours on the day of the event on an annual basis.
Vessel traffic can safely pass outside the safety zones during the
events. In cases where traffic congestion is greater than expected and
blocks shipping channels, traffic may be allowed to pass through the
safety zone under Coast Guard escort with the permission of the Captain
of the Port Milwaukee.
Before the effective period, the Coast Guard will issue maritime
advisories widely available to users who might be in the affected area
by publication in the Federal Register and the Ninth Coast Guard
District Local Notice to Mariners Marine information broadcasts and
facsimile broadcasts may also be made. Additionally, the Coast Guard
has not received any negative reports from small entities affected
during these displays in previous years.
Assistance for Small Entities
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 rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects and participate in the rulemaking process. 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 Marine Safety Office Milwaukee
(see ADDRESSES).
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).
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 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 effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have
[[Page 44560]]
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.
Environment
We have considered the environmental impact of this rule and
concluded that under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) of Commandant
Instruction M16475.lC, this rule is categorically excluded from further
environmental documentation.
A ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' is available in the
docket for inspection or copying where indicated under ADDRESSES.
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 proposed 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. It has not been designated by the Administrator of the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
