DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
33 CFR Part 165
[COTP Honolulu 95-003]
RIN 2115-AA97
Safety Zone; Barbers Point NAS, Oahu, HI
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Temporary rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone
offshore of Barbers Point Naval Air Station, Oahu, Hawaii. The zone is
rectangular in shape and is enclosed within these coordinates:
21 deg.18' N, 158 deg.4.15' W; 21 deg.17' N, 158 deg.4.15' W;
21 deg.17' N, 158 deg.3.06' W; 21 deg.18.06' N, 158 deg.3.06' W;
(Datum: WGS 84). This zone is needed to protect vessels, mariners, and
observers from possible safety hazards associated with the U.S. Navy
Blue Angels Air Show. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is
prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port.
DATES: This regulation becomes effective at 1 p.m. on September 1,
1995, and terminates at 4 p.m. on September 1, 1995, and again becomes
effective at 1 p.m. on September 3, 1995, and terminates at 4 p.m. on
September 3, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lieutenant Junior Grade Michael Sakaio, Port Safety and Security
Branch, Marine Safety Office, Honolulu, Hawaii, (808) 522-8260.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
The situation requiring this regulation is the U.S. Navy Blue
Angels Aerial Demonstration. Aircraft will perform low level, high
speed aerobatics to demonstrate the proficiency of the aircraft and the
USN pilots. This regulation is intended to minimize the risk to
vessels, mariners, and observers from these aircraft. This regulation
is issued pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 1225 and 1231 as set out in the
authority citation for all of Part 165.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a notice of proposed rulemaking
was not published for this regulation and good cause exists for making
it effective in less than 30 days after Federal Register publication.
Publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking and delay of effective
date would be contrary to the public interest since immediate action is
needed to protect vessels, mariners, and observers from possible
hazards in the vicinity of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstration
area.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule 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)(3) of that order. It
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget 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 regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is
unnecessary.
Collection of Information
This rule contains no information collection requirements under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Federalism
The Coast Guard has analyzed this rule under the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612 and has determined that
this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant
the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Environment
The Coast Guard considered the environmental impact of this rule
and concluded that, under paragraph 2.B.2 of Commandant Instruction
M16475.1B, this rule is categorically excluded from further
environmental documentation.
