during which the select rate (the initial

rate) applies), an increase of 0.31

increase of 0.55 percent in the ultimate

rate (the final rate).

Need for Immediate Guidance

PBGC has determined that notice of,

and public comment on, this rule are

impracticable, unnecessary, and

contrary to the public interest. PBGC

routinely updates the interest

assumptions in appendix B of the asset

allocation regulation each quarter so

that they are available to value benefits.

Accordingly, PBGC finds that the public

interest is best served by issuing this

rule expeditiously, without an

opportunity for notice and comment,

and that good cause exists for making

the assumptions set forth in this

amendment effective less than 30 days

after publication to allow the use of the

proper assumptions to estimate the

value of plan benefits for plans with

valuation dates early in the third quarter

of 2021.

PBGC has determined that this action

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under the criteria set forth in Executive

Order 12866.

Because no general notice of proposed

rulemaking is required for this

amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility

Act of 1980 does not apply. See 5 U.S.C.

601(2).

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking

§ Section

U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and

Regulatory History

The purpose of this rule is to ensure

the safety of the participants and the

navigable waters in the safety zone

before, during, and after the scheduled

swim event. In response, on February

10, 2021, the Coast Guard published a

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)

titled Safety Zone; Cocos Lagoon,

Merizo, GU (86 FR 8879–8881). There

we stated why we issued the NPRM,

and invited comments on our proposed

regulatory action related to this safety

zone. During the comment period that

ended March 12, 2021, we received no

comments.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule

under its authority in 46 U.S.C 70034

(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP

Guam has determined this safety zone is

necessary to protect all persons and

vessels participating in this marine

event from potential safety hazards

associated with vessel traffic in the area

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,

and the Rule

As noted above, we received no

comments on our NPRM published

February 10, 2021. There are no changes

in the regulatory text of this rule from

the proposed rule in the NPRM.

This rule establishes a safety zone

from 06:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the

Sunday before Memorial Day every year,

unless the event is cancelled or moved

due to weather. The safety zone will

cover all navigable waters within a 100-

yard radius of the race participants in

Cocos Lagoon, Merizo, Guam. Race

participants, chase boats, and organizers

of the event will be exempt from the

safety zone. All persons and vessels not

involved in the event are prohibited

from being in the safety zone unless

authorized by the COTP or a designated

representative.

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.

This regulatory action determination

is based on the size, location, duration,

and time-of-day of the safety zone.

Vessel traffic will be able to safely

transit around this safety zone, which

will impact a small designated area of

the Cocos Lagoon for approximately 7

hours. Moreover, the Coast Guard will

issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via

VHF–FM marine channel 16 about the

zone, and the rule would allow vessels

to seek permission to enter the zone.

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 received no 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.

While some owners or operators of

vessels intending to transit the safety

zone may be small entities, for the

reasons stated in section V.A above, this

rule will not have a significant

economic impact on any vessel owner

or operator.

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,

31622

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 113 / Tuesday, June 15, 2021 / Rules and Regulations

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 a safety

zone lasting approximately 7 hours that

would prohibit entry within 100-yards

for swim participants in Cocos Lagoon.

It is categorically excluded from further

review under paragraph L60(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

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

section to

coordinate protest activities so that your

message can be received without

jeopardizing the safety or security of

people, places or vessels.
