DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2016-0050]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated April 27, 2016, the South Central Florida Express (SCFE) has
petitioned the

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained
at 49 CFR part 229, Railroad Locomotive Safety Standards. FRA assigned
this petition Docket Number FRA-2016-0050.
    In its petition, SCFE proposes to maintain the daily inspection
reports required by 49 CFR 229.21, Daily inspection, solely in
electronic format. The system that SCFE proposes consists of a USB
memory drive containing locomotive identifying information permanently
affixed to each locomotive, with a semi-permanently installed, hardened
tablet computer in each locomotive. In lieu of paper records, this
computer system would run software prompting and recording the results
of daily inspections and transmitting those inspection details directly
and securely back to a central database maintained by the company,
where they will be retained for at least 120 days. SCFE states that
this system would fully satisfy the goals of daily inspection records
to be accurate, not susceptible to after-the-fact changes, and readily
available to FRA inspectors at any time.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: Docket Operations Facility, U.S. Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC
20590.
     Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
    Communications received by July 25, 2016 will be considered by FRA
before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be
considered as far as practicable.
    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written
communications and comments received into any of our dockets by the
name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the document,
if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records
notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at www.dot.gov/privacy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-576, Report of Service Interruptions.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0004.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-576 information
collection

requirements with no changes to the current reporting requirements.
    Abstract: A natural gas company must obtain Commission
authorization to engage in the transportation, sale, or exchange of
natural gas in interstate commerce under the Natural Gas Act (NGA).\1\
The NGA also empowers the Commission to oversee continuity of service
in the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce. The
information collected under FERC-576 notifies the Commission of: (1)
Damage to jurisdictional natural gas facilities as a result of a
hurricane, earthquake, or other natural disaster, or terrorist
activity, (2) serious interruptions to service, and (3) damage to
jurisdictional natural gas facilities due to natural disaster or
terrorist activity, that creates the potential for serious delivery
problems on the pipeline's own system or the pipeline grid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 75 688; 15 U.S.C. 717 & 717w.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Filings (in accordance with the provisions of section 4(d) of the
NGA) \2\ must contain information necessary to advise the Commission
when a change in service has occurred. Section 7(d) of the NGA \3\
authorizes the Commission to issue a temporary certificate in cases of
emergency to assure maintenance of adequate service or to serve
particular customers, without notice or hearing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ (15 U.S.C. 717c).
    \3\ (15 U.S.C. 717f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Respondents to the FERC-576 are encouraged to submit the reports by
email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>but also have the option of faxing the
reports to the Director of the Division of Pipeline Certificates. 18
CFR 260.9(b) requires that a report of service interruption or damage
to natural gas facilities state: (1) The location of the service
interruption or damage to natural gas pipeline or storage facilities;
(2) The nature of any damage to pipeline or storage facilities; (3)
Specific identification of the facilities damaged; (4) The time the
service interruption or damage to the facilities occurred; (5) The
customers affected by the service interruption or damage to the
facilities; (6) Emergency actions taken to maintain service; and (7)
Company contact and telephone number. The Commission may contact
pipelines reporting damage or other pipelines to determine availability
of supply, and if necessary, authorize transportation or construction
of facilities to alleviate constraints in response to these reports.
    A report required by 18 CFR 260.9(a)(1)(i) of damage to natural gas
facilities resulting in loss of pipeline throughput or storage
deliverability shall be reported to the Director of the Commission's
Division of Pipeline Certificates at the earliest feasible time when
pipeline throughput or storage deliverability has been restored.
    In any instance in which an incident or damage report involving
jurisdictional natural gas facilities is required by Department of
Transportation (DOT) reporting requirements under the Natural Gas
Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, a copy of such report shall be submitted
to the Director of the Commission's Division of Pipeline Certificates,
within 30 days of the reportable incident \4\.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 18 CFR 260.9(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the Commission failed to collect these data, it would lose the
ability to monitor and evaluate transactions, operations, and
reliability of interstate pipelines and perform its regulatory
functions. These reports are kept by the Commission Staff as non-public
information and are not made part of the public record.
    Type of Respondents: Natural gas companies
    Estimate of Annual Burden 5: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal
agency. For further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
    \6\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $72.00 per
Hour = Average Cost per Response. The hourly cost figure comes from
the FERC average salary ($149,489/year). Commission staff believes
the FERC average salary to be representative wage for industry
respondents.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule 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 the event sponsor notified the Coast
Guard with insufficient time to publish an NPRM and immediate action is
necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment on
Lake St. Clair. It is impracticable and contrary to the public interest
to publish a NPRM because we must establish this safety zone by August
5, 2023.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For the same reasons discussed in
the preceding paragraph, delaying the effective date of this rule would
be impracticable because immediate action is needed to respond to the
potential safety hazards associated with a fireworks display.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Detroit
(COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with fireworks
displays will be a safety concern for anyone within a 200-yard radius
of the launch site. The likely combination of recreational vessels,
darkness punctuated by bright flashes of light, and fireworks debris
falling into the water presents risks of collisions which could result
in serious injuries or fatalities. This rule is necessary to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone during the fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 9 p.m. through 10:30 p.m.
on August 5, 2023. The safety zone will encompass all U.S. navigable
waters of Lake St. Clair within a 200-yard radius of the fireworks
launch site located 42[deg]22.629' N, 082[deg]54.929' W, near Grosse
Point Park, MI. The duration of the zone is intended to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable
waters during the fireworks display. Entry into, transiting, or
anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Detroit or his designated representative. The
Captain of the Port Detroit or his designated representative may be
contacted via VHF Channel 16.

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
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. Vessel traffic will be able
to safely transit around this safety zone which would impact a small,
designated area of Lake

St. Clair one hours during the evening when vessel traffic is normally
low. Moreover, the Coast Guard would 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 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.
    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. If you believe this
rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact
the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.

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, 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 1 hour that will prohibit entry
within 200-yard radius of where the fireworks display will be
conducted. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph L[60] 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 ADDRESSES 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 FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to revise a variety of equity transaction
fees that Exchange members are charged for executions on the Exchange.
These fee changes will only apply to equity issues, and, accordingly
will leave unchanged the current transaction charges for Portfolio
Depositary Receipts, Index Fund Shares and Trust Issued Receipts
(``Exchange-Traded Funds'' or ``ETFs'').
    The text of the proposed rule change, as amended, is available on
the Amex's Web site at http://www.amex.com, at the Office of the

Secretary, the Amex, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Amex included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change, as
amended, and discussed any comments it received on the proposal. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Amex has prepared summaries, set forth in sections
A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Amex is proposing to amend its Equity Fee Schedule to revise a
variety of transaction fees applicable to Exchange members. These fee
changes will be assessed on Exchange members commencing October 3,
2005.
    The Exchange proposes the following changes to the Amex Equity Fee
Schedule: (i) Adoption of a monthly transaction charge of $.0030 per
share for up to 50 million shares and $.0025 per share for amounts over
50 million shares; (ii) elimination of transaction charges based upon
the total gross dollar amount; (iii) clarification that transaction
charges are calculated based on each transaction rather than each
order; (iv) revision to the transaction charges so that only the first
5,000 shares of each executed transaction are assessed the charge; (v)
elimination of transaction charges for transactions resulting from
electronic orders of up to 500 shares; \7\ (vi) elimination of the fee
exemption for transactions by Amex option specialists and registered
options traders (``ROTs'') in paired securities; (vii) elimination of
the 50% fee exemption for proprietary trades in Canadian securities;
and (viii) changing the name of the ``Regulatory Fee'' to the

``Specialist Transaction Fee,'' eliminating application of the fee to
all market participants except specialists, and increasing the fee from
$.00005 to $.00007 of the total value of all specialist transactions in
equities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Commission notes that a clarifying change was made to
item (v). Telephone conference between Jeffrey P. Burns, Associate
General Counsel, Amex, and Johnna B. Dumler, Attorney, Division of
Market Regulation, Commission, on October 28, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Amex currently charges members monthly fees for transactions in
equity securities (excluding ETFs) executed on the Exchange. Although
the current Equity Fee Schedule states that in calculating the
transaction charges, each order is assessed on the first 25,000 shares
only, the Exchange's current process is to assess transaction charges
on each transaction rather than on each order. In order to accurately
reflect the manner in which equity transaction charges are presently
assessed, in addition to revising the amount of the ``Transaction
Charges'' as described below, the Exchange also is clarifying that
assessment of transaction charges is based on each transaction
(including transactions resulting from orders entered electronically)
rather than on each order. The current transaction charges are shown in
the table below.

                           Transaction Charges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   Rate      Value-based
   Share-based charge: total       per      charge: total      Rate per
          shares/month            share      gross dollar        1000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 16,500,000...............  $.00225  Up to 200,000,000       .07500
16,500,001-25,000,000..........  .00200   $200,000,001-300,       .07000
                                           000,000.
25,000,001-33,000,000..........  .00175   $300,000,001-400,       .06500
                                           000,000.
Over 33,000,000................   .0015   Over $400,000,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is largely proposing to revise the current equity
transaction fee to clarify and simplify execution charges on the
Exchange applicable to equity transactions. The proposed changes will
not apply to transactions in ETFs. The Amex expects the proposal to
generate additional revenue for ongoing operations while also being
attractive to market participants and competitive with other exchanges.
In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposal will attract
additional order flow because the current transaction charge ceiling of
25,000 shares will be lowered to 5,000 shares. The Exchange believes
that this is particularly significant for those market participants
transacting in ``lower-priced'' stocks at the Exchange since the
transaction fee as a percentage of the total transaction value will be
significantly reduced.\8\ Accordingly, although the proposal will
increase specialist fees in connection with equity transactions, the
Exchange submits that the reduction in aggregate transaction fees (even
though the rate per share will increase) for all other market
participants is expected to help attract additional order flow to the
Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For example, based on the current Equity Fee Schedule, the
monthly maximum share-based transaction charge for up to 16.5
million shares is $56.25 per transaction plus a maximum value-based
charge of $40 per trade. Under the proposal, the monthly maximum
transaction charge for up to 16.5 million shares will be $15 per
transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Amex's equity transaction fee proposal also provides for the
elimination of the graduated monthly transaction fees, as set forth
above, and the adoption of monthly transaction fees that consist of a
per share charge of $.0030 for monthly transactions of shares of up to
50 million and a $.0025 per share charge for monthly transactions of
greater than 50 million shares. The current value-based charge assessed
on the total gross dollar amount of a transaction would also be
eliminated. The Exchange proposes to calculate the new transaction
charges on the first 5,000 shares rather than the current 25,000
shares. The Exchange submits that the current Equity Fee Schedule does
not properly reflect how transaction charges are assessed. Therefore,
the Exchange proposes in its filing to clarify that the calculation of
transaction charges will be assessed on each transaction, not on each
order.
    According to the Exchange, specialist trades will continue to be
free of monthly per share transaction charges, while the current fee
exemption for transactions by Amex options specialists and ROTs in
paired securities \9\ will be eliminated. The proposal also seeks to
eliminate the 50% fee exemption for proprietary trades in Canadian
securities. In both cases, the Exchange believes that the exemptions
are unnecessary in order to attract order flow in equity securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The term ``paired security'' means a security that is the
subject of securities trading on the Exchange and Exchange option
trading, provided, however, that the term ``paired security'' does
not mean an Exchange-Traded Fund Share or Trust Issued Receipt which
is the subject of securities trading on the Exchange and Exchange
option trading if the Exchange-Traded Fund Share or Trust Issued
Receipt meet the criteria set forth in Commentary .03(a) to Amex
Rule 1000 or Commentary .02(a) to Amex Rule 1000A, or approved by
the Commission as eligible for trading arrangements under Rule
175(c)(2) and Rule 958(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, transactions resulting from orders entered
electronically into the Amex Order File from off the floor of the
Exchange (``System Orders'') of up to 500 shares (instead of the
current 2,099 shares) will not be assessed a transaction charge. The
Exchange has also proposed to change the name of the ``Regulatory Fee''
to a ``Specialist Transaction Fee.'' \10\ Pursuant to the Amex
proposal, the Specialist Transaction Fee will only be applied to
specialist transactions (unlike the ``Regulatory Fee'' that applied to
all market participants) and will be increased from the current level
of $.00005 to $.00007 of the total value of specialist transactions in
equity securities.\11\ In addition, the Exchange proposes to eliminate
the exemption from assessment of the Regulatory Fee (now the
``Specialist Transaction Fee'') for transactions resulting from System
Orders of up to 2,099 shares. In this manner, all specialist system
orders will be subject to the Specialist Transaction Fee. The Amex
submits that the Specialist Transaction Fee is the only transaction-
based fee that the Exchange charges specialists in connection with
equity securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Exchange submits that its regulatory obligations are
funded by numerous sources.
    \11\ The equity regulatory fee amount has remained relatively
unchanged since 1994. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 33456
(January 11, 1994), 59 FR 2886 (January 19, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revised equity transaction charges, as proposed, are set forth
below.

                           Transaction Charges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Rate per
           Share-based charge: total share/month                share
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 50,000,000...........................................       $.0030
Over 50,000,000............................................        .0025
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the Exchange, the proposal to revise equity
transaction fees applicable to Exchange members is consistent with
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act.\12\ The Exchange believes that the

proposal provides for an equitable allocation of reasonable fees among
Exchange members largely through the elimination of various fee
exemptions and a small increase in the specialist transaction fee
(formerly, the regulatory fee). Specifically, the increase in the
specialist transaction fee that will be assessed on the total value of
specialist transactions is the only transaction-based fee that
specialists pay in connection with equity securities. In addition, the
Exchange expects the proposal to attract additional order flow largely
due to the reduction in the current transaction charge ceiling even
though the transaction fee rate per share is slightly increased.
Therefore, the Exchange maintains that the proposed equity transaction
fee changes, in the aggregate, are an equitable allocation of
reasonable fees among its members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Section 6(b)(4) states that the rules of a national
securities exchange provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members and
issuers and other persons using its facilities. 15 U.S.C.
78(f)(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed revision to equity
transaction fees will better clarify for all market participants the
transaction charges applicable to equity orders executed on the
Exchange. In addition, the Exchange also submits that the revision will
provide additional revenue to support ongoing operations as well as
create greater incentives for market participants to send order flow to
the Amex.
2. Statutory Basis
    Amex believes that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,\13\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\14\ in particular, in
that it is designed to assure the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees, and other charges among its members and issuers and other
persons using its facilities.

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Amex does not believe that the proposed rule change, as amended,
will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change, as amended, has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and subparagraph (f)(2)
of Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\16\ since it establishes or changes a due,
fee or other charge imposed by the Exchange.

    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary of appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in the furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ The effective date of the original proposed rule change is
September 30, 2005, and the effective date of Amendment No. 2 is
October 27, 2005. For purposes of calculating the 60-day period
within which the Commission may summarily abrogate the proposed rule
change under Section 19(b)(3)(C) of the Act, the Commission
considers the period to commence on October 27, 2005, the date on
which Amex filed Amendment No. 2. See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket No. USCG-2012-0170]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Galveston Bay, Kemah, TX

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local
regulation in Galveston Bay in the vicinity of Kemah, Texas. This
temporary special local regulation is necessary to provide for the
safety of swimmers participating in the Memorial Hermann Kemah
Triathlon. All vessels will be prohibited from transiting in or near
the area except as specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port
or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective on April 29, 2012 from 6 a.m. until 12
noon.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2012-0170 and are available online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule 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. The intended date for this charitable event
is April 29, 2012. Publishing an NPRM is impracticable because it would
delay the effective date for this special local regulation.
    This event and special local regulation are part of a Direct Final
Rule (DFR) creating a list of annually recurring special local
regulations under 33 CFR part 100, taking place in the Eighth Coast
Guard District. The DFR published in the Federal Register on March 1,
2012, (77 FR 12456), provides for a comment period and is scheduled to
go into effect May 30, 2012 which is after the April 29, 2012 scheduled
date for this event. A comment period is provided in the DFR, but
awaiting the DFR effective date and delaying or foregoing the special
local regulation needed for the safety of triathlon participants would
be contrary to public interest.
    For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard
finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than
30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Immediate action is
needed to protect swimmers participating in the Memorial Hermann Kemah
Triathlon.

Basis and Purpose

    The swimming portion of the Memorial Hermann Triathlon will feature
swimmers entering the water from a vessel and swimming approximately
one mile to shore. This

special local regulation provides a protected area for the swimmers
from recreational and other vessels that might be in the area.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local
regulation in Galveston Bay. The area regulated begins at Latitude
29[deg]32'38.02'' N, Longitude 095[deg]00'58.30'' W thence east to
Latitude 29[deg]32'46.73'' N, Longitude 094[deg]59'50.36'' W, thence
south to Latitude 29[deg]32'36.98'' N, Longitude 094[deg]59'50.32'' W,
thence west to 29[deg]32'30.86'' N, Longitude 095[deg]00'56.91'' W
thence along the shoreline to the point of beginning. This rule is
established to allow for the safety of swimmers participating in a
triathlon. Vessels will not be allowed to transit within the designated
area immediately before, during, and after the swim portion of the
triathlon.

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 or executive orders.

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.
    This regulation will only be in effect for six hours. Notifications
to the marine community will be made through broadcast notice to
mariners and electronic mail. The special local regulation will not
affect channel navigation and will only affect few recreational
vessels. The impacts on routine navigation are expected to be minimal.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. 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 not affect small entities because the special
local regulation does not inhibit navigation. Recreational vessels may
navigate around the restricted area. If you are a small business entity
and are significantly affected by this regulation please contact LT
Margaret Brown, Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston, at (713) 678-
9001.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    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.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

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.

Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
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.

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 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.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Technical Standards

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

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 concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(h), of the Instruction. This rule involves establishing a special
local regulation, requiring a permit wherein an analysis of the
environmental impact of the regulations was performed. Under figure 2-
1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are not required
for this rule.

Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations; Consistency Update for
Alaska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; consistency update.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
update a portion of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air Regulations.
Requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25 miles of states'
seaward boundaries must be updated periodically to remain consistent
with the requirements of the corresponding onshore area (COA), as
mandated by the Clean Air Act (CAA). The portion of the OCS air
regulations that is being updated pertains to the requirements for OCS
sources subject to requirements of the State of Alaska. The State of
Alaska's requirements discussed in this document, and listed in the
appendix to the Federal OCS air regulations, are proposed to be
incorporated into the compilation of state provisions that is
incorporated by reference.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before January 2, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R10-
OAR-2019-0433 at https://www.regulations.gov, or via email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On September 4, 1992, EPA promulgated 40 CFR part 55,\1\ which
established requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources in
order to attain and maintain Federal and state ambient air quality
standards and to comply with the provisions of part C of title I of the
CAA. The regulations at 40 CFR part 55 apply to all OCS sources except
those located in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude. See
40 CFR 55.3(a). Section 328 of the CAA requires that for such sources
located within 25 miles of a state's seaward boundary, the requirements
shall be the same as would be applicable if the sources were located in
the COA. Because the OCS requirements are based on onshore
requirements, and onshore requirements may change, section 328(a)(1)
requires that EPA update the OCS requirements as necessary to maintain
consistency with onshore requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The reader may refer to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
December 5, 1991 (56 FR 63774), and the preamble to the final rule
promulgated September 4, 1992 (57 FR 40792) for further background
and information on the OCS regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 55.12, consistency reviews will occur at least
annually. Additionally, consistency reviews will occur upon receipt of
a Notice of Intent (NOI) under 40 CFR 55.4 and when a State or local
agency submits a rule to EPA to be considered for incorporation by
reference in 40 CFR part 55. This proposed action is being taken in
response to the submittal of a NOI on October 1, 2019, by Hilcorp
Alaska, LLC. Public comments received within 30 days of publication of
this document will be considered by EPA before publishing a final rule.
    Section 328(a) of the CAA requires that EPA establish requirements
to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 25 miles of
States' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore requirements.
To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable
onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist onshore. This limits
EPA's flexibility in deciding which requirements will be incorporated
into 40 CFR part 55 and prevents EPA from making substantive changes to
the requirements it incorporates. As a result, EPA may be incorporating
rules into 40 CFR part 55 that do not conform to all of EPA's state
implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain requirements of the CAA.
Consistency updates may result in the inclusion of state or local rules
or regulations into 40 CFR part 55, even though the same rules may
ultimately be disapproved for inclusion as part of the SIP. Inclusion
in the OCS rule does not imply that a rule meets the requirements of
the CAA for SIP approval, nor does

it imply that the rule will be approved by EPA for inclusion in the
SIP.

II. EPA Analysis

    EPA reviewed Alaska's rules for incorporation by reference in 40
CFR part 55 to ensure that they are rationally related to the
attainment or maintenance of Federal or state ambient air quality
standards and compliance with part C of title I of the CAA, that they
are not designed expressly to prevent exploration and development of
the OCS, and that they are potentially applicable to OCS sources. See
40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also evaluated the rules to ensure they are not
arbitrary or capricious. See 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has
excluded administrative or procedural rules.\2\ EPA has also proposed
to exclude those provisions that would not reasonably be expected to
apply to an OCS source.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Each COA which has been delegated the authority to implement
and enforce 40 CFR part 55 will use its administrative and
procedural rules as onshore. However, in those instances where EPA
has not delegated authority to implement and enforce 40 CFR part 55,
EPA will use its own administrative and procedural requirements to
implement the substantive requirements. See 40 CFR 55.14(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA is soliciting public comments on this proposed action, and
these comments will be considered before taking final action.
Interested parties may participate in this rulemaking procedure by
submitting written comments to the EPA Regional Office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this Federal Register.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference the rules potentially
applicable to sources for which the State of Alaska will be the COA.
The rules that EPA proposes to incorporate are applicable provisions of
Title 18 of the Alaska Administrative Code, specifically, the
provisions of Air Quality Control Chapter 50 identified below. The
intended effect of proposing approval of various Alaska air pollution
control requirements for inclusion in the updated compilation of
``State of Alaska Requirement Applicable to OCS Sources'' dated
September 15, 2018, is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in
accordance with the requirements for onshore sources.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule,
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference provisions of Chapter 50 of the Alaska Administrative Code
set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
materials available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region
10 Office (please contact the person identified in the ``For Further
Information Contact'' section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to establish
requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources located within
25 miles of states' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore air
pollution control requirements. To comply with this statutory mandate,
the EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55
as they exist onshore. See 42 U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, in
promulgating OCS consistency updates, EPA's role is to maintain
consistency between OCS regulations and the regulations of onshore
areas, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action simply updates the existing OCS requirements to make them
consistent with requirements onshore, without the exercise of any
policy direction by EPA. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action because
this action is not significant under Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rule incorporating by reference sections
of Title 18 of the Alaska Administrative Code, does not have tribal
implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because this action is not approved to apply in
Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law.
    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C 3501
et seq., an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. OMB has approved the information
collection requirements contained in 40 CFR part 55 and, by extension,
this update to the rules, and has assigned OMB control number 2060-
0249. OMB approved the EPA Information Collection Request (ICR) No.
1601.08 on September 18, 2017.\3\ The current approval expires
September 30, 2020. The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for collection of information under 40 CFR part 55 is estimated
to average 643 hours per response, using the definition of burden
provided in 44 U.S.C. 3502(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ OMB's approval of the ICR can be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA is proposing to incorporate the rules potentially applicable to
sources for which the State of Alaska will be the COA. The rules that
EPA proposes to incorporate are the identified provisions of Title 18
of the Alaska Administrative Code, specifically, Air Quality Control
Chapter 50.
