The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

AGENCY:
United States Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION:
Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comments.
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is proposing to revise its regulations to establish a restricted area to change the navigability status of a portion of Eagle River within the boundaries of Fort Richardson, Alaska as well as an adjacent portion of Eagle Bay in the Knik Arm. More specifically, the restricted area is to include all waters of Eagle River downstream from the Bravo Bridge as well as the portion of Eagle Bay east of a demarcation line to extend from two points of Fort Richardson land along northern and southern shores of the Bay. This amendment would prohibit vessels and persons from entering affected waters of Eagle Bay and Eagle River in order to enhance safety and security. This portion of Eagle River runs through an active military range munitions impact area. This portion of Eagle Bay could be subjected to hazardous levels of noise during certain training exercises; Army control of this area is also necessary to prevent unauthorized access into the impact area. The restricted area is necessary to protect the public from entering an extremely hazardous area.

Start Further InfoFOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. David Olson, Headquarters, Operations and Regulatory Community of Practice, Washington, DC at 202-761-4922 or Ms. Serena Sweet, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, Regulatory Division, at 907-753-2819.
End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In response to a request from the Department of the Army and pursuant to its authorities in Section 7 of the River and Harbor Act of 1917 (40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter XIX, of the Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3) the Corps is proposing to amend the restricted area regulations in 33 CFR part 334 to establish a restricted area to the east of a demarcation line bisecting Eagle Bay and extending up Eagle River to Bravo Bridge within Fort Richardson. The restricted area is necessary to protect the public against hazardous noise impacts and to prevent vessels and persons from entering an active military range munitions impact area.
Procedural Requirements
a. Review Under Executive Order 12866
This proposed rule is issued with respect to a military function of the Defense Department and the provisions of Executive Order 12866 do not apply.Start Printed Page 53267
b. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
This proposed rule has been reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354) which requires the preparation of a regulatory flexibility analysis for any regulation that will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (i.e., small businesses and small governments). Due to the nature of the waterway and the minimal historic use of this portion of Eagle Bay for travel, recreation or fishing, as well as the availability of an alternate channel within Knik Arm, the Corps expects that the economic impact of this portion of the restricted area would have practically no impact on the public and no anticipated navigational hazard or interference with existing waterway traffic, and accordingly, certifies that this proposed rule will have no significant economic impact on small entities.
c. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act
Due to the administrative nature of this action and because there is no intended change in the use of the area, the Corps expects that this regulation, if adopted, will not have a significant impact to the quality of the human environment and, therefore, preparation of an environmental impact statement, for the establishment of this restricted area, is not required. An environmental assessment (EA) will be prepared after the public notice comment period is closed and all comments have been received and considered. After it is prepared, it may be reviewed at the District office listed at the end of the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section, above.
d. Unfunded Mandates Act
This proposed rule does not impose an enforceable duty upon the private sector. Therefore, it is not a Federal private sector mandate and is not subject to the requirements of Section 202 or 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Act. We have also found under Section 203 of the Act, that small Governments will not be significantly and uniquely affected by this rulemaking.
