Special Local Regulations: Skull Creek, Hilton Head, SC.
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Temporary final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Head, SC. The event will be held from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern
Daylight Time (EDT) on July 4, 1999 in Skull Creek, Hilton Head, SC.

navigable waters during the event.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chief D. Jersey at (843) 724-7616.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
These regulations are required to provide for the safety of life on
navigable waters because of the inherent danger of the fireworks
display during the Skull Creek July 4th celebration, Skull Creek,
Hilton Head, SC. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a notice of proposed
rulemaking has not been published for these regulations and good cause
exists for making them effective in less than 30 days from the date of
publication, as information concerning the exact time and location of
the event were only recently received.
Regulatory Evaluation
This regulation is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and does not require an
assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(f) of
that order. The Office of Management and Budget has exempted it from
review 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)). The Coast Guard expects the economic impact
of this proposal to be so minimal that a full regulatory evaluation
under paragraph 10e of the regulated policies and procedures of DOT is
unnecessary. The regulated area encompasses only a 500 foot radius
around the fireworks barge on Skull Creek.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) the
Coast Guard must consider whether this rulemaking will have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Small entities include small business, 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.
Therefore, 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, as the regulations will only be in effect for
approximately 2 hours.
Collection of Information
This rule contains no collection of information requirements under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Federalism
This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined
that this rulemaking does not have sufficient federalism implications
to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Environmental Assessment
The Coast Guard has considered the environmental impact of this
action and has determined under Figure 2-1, paragraph 34(h) of
Commandant Instruction M16475.1C, that this rule is categorically
excluded from further environmental documentation.
