B. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule safety zone 
for a planned fifteen minute air show over San Diego Bay 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 publishing an NPRM would be impracticable, 
because

[[Page 19202]]

immediate action is needed to minimize potential danger to the 
participants and the public during the event. Furthermore, the 
necessary information to determine whether the marine event poses a 
threat to persons and vessels was provided March 12, 2015, less than 60 
days before the event, which is insufficient time to publish an NPRM. 
The Coast Guard requests new marine event permit applications at least 
165 days in advance for proper environmental and administrative review 
of the event.
    Nevertheless, we are providing an opportunity for subsequent public 
comment and, should public comment show the need for modifications to 
the safety zone during the event, we may make those modifications 
during the event and will provide actual notice of those modifications 
to the affected public.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis and authorities for this temporary rule are found 
in 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, and 160.5; Public 
Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland Security 
Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to 
propose, establish, and define regulatory safety zones.
    The Coast Guard believes a temporary safety zone is needed on the 
navigable waters of the San Diego Bay to ensure public safety for the 
NHA Red Bull Helicopter Demonstration. This event involves a planned 
fifteen minute air show which flies over a portion of San Diego Bay. 
Because aerial stunt flying over busy waterways poses significant risk 
to public safety and property and the likely combination of large 
numbers of recreation vessels, congested waterways, and low flying 
could easily result in serious injuries or fatalities, a safety zone is 
necessary to safe guard spectators, vessels and the event pilots. For 
the safety concerns noted, it is important to have these regulations in 
effect during the event and impracticable to delay the regulations.

D. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone that will 
be enforced from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on May 12, 2015. This safety 
zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the helicopter aircrew, 
event spectators, safety patrol craft and to protect other vessels and 
users of the waterway. Persons and vessels will be prohibited from 
entering into, transiting through, or anchoring within this safety zone 
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, or their designated 
representative. Before the effective period, the Coast Guard will 
publish a local notice to mariners (LNM). Just prior to the event and 
during the enforcement of the event, the Coast Guard will issue a 
broadcast notice to mariners (BNM) alert via VHF Channel 16.
    This temporary safety zone will be bound by the following 
coordinates (North American Datum of 1983, World Geodetic System, 
1984): 32°43.05 N, 117°10.54 W, 32°43.05 N, 117°10.46 
W, 32°43.33 N, 117°10.54 W, 32°43.33 N, 117°13.46 W.

E. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. 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 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 the economic 
impact of this proposed rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory 
Evaluation is unnecessary. This determination is based on the size, 
location and limited duration of the safety zone. This zone impacts a 
small designated area of the San Diego bay for less than one hour. 
Furthermore, vessel traffic can safely transit around the safety zone.

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 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 
or operators of private and commercial vessels intending to transit or 
anchor in the impacted portion of the San Diego Bay from 6:30 p.m. 
through 7:30 p.m. on May 12, 2015.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. Vessel 
traffic can pass safely around the zone. The Coast Guard will publish a 
local notice to mariners (LNM) and will issue broadcast notice to 
mariners (BNM) alerts via VHF Channel 16 before the safety zone is 
enforced.

3. 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. 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.
    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.

4. 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).

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 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.

[[Page 19203]]

Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER 
INTFORMATION 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 rule will not result in 
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere 
in this preamble.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

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

14. 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 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 the establishment of a safety 
zone on the navigable waters of San Diego Bay. This rule is 
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of 
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental 
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical 
Exclusion Determination are 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 rule.
