requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing
any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its Principal Security Inspector (PSI) to advise the PSI of its
plans and to find out whether the Transportation Security Administration
has determined that security is adequate to allow such airport(s) to be
served;

(3)  Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage
contained in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any
operations under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the

operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or (b)  based
on a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term "international air transportation" means "international
transportation" as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

(8)  Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1255]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before August 23, 2012.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1255, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at
www.fema.gov/pdf/media/factsheets/2010/srp_fs.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12486-007]

Twin Lakes Canal Company; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 8, 2012, Twin Lakes Canal Company filed an application for
a successive preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Bear
River Narrows Project (project) to be located on Bear River, in
Franklin County, Idaho. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A 700-
foot-long, 108-foot-high embankment dam; (2) a reservoir having a
surface area of 420 acres, having a storage capacity of 17,300 acre-
feet and normal water surface elevation of 4,734 feet mean sea level;
(3) a powerhouse containing two generating units with a total installed
capacity of 11 megawatts; (4) a 0.8-mile-long transmission line; and
(5) appurtenant facilities. The applicant estimates that the average
annual generation would be 51 gigawatt-hours, which would be sold to a
local utility.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Clair Boesen, Twin Lakes Canal Company, P.O.
Box 247, 2 North State Street, Preston, Idaho 83263; phone: (208) 852-

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2016-0912]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Allegheny River, Ohio River, Monongahela River,
Pittsburgh, PA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
the University of Pittsburgh Fireworks show, Pittsburgh, PA. The safety
zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards created from a barge-based fireworks
display. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited
unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Pittsburgh.

DATES: This rule is effective from 10 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. on October
1, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

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 submitted event
application on September 21, 2016. After receiving and fully reviewing
the event information, circumstances, and exact location, the Coast
Guard determined that delaying this regulation's effective date for
comment would be contrary to the public interest since a safety zone is
necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment
from potential hazards created from a barge-based fireworks display on
the navigable waterway. It would be impracticable to complete the full
NPRM process for this safety zone because it needs to be established by
October 1, 2016. The fireworks display has been advertised and the
local community has prepared for the event.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying this rule
would be contrary to public interest of ensuring the safety of
spectators and vessels during the event. Immediate action is necessary
to prevent possible loss of life and property during the hazards
created by a barge-based fireworks display near and over the navigable
waterway.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Pittsburgh (COTP) has determined that a
safety zone is needed on October 1, 2016. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential
hazards created from a barge-based fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 10 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on
October 1, 2016. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters on the
Allegheny River mile 0.0-0.25, Ohio River mile 0.0-0.1, Monongahela
River mile 0.0-0.1. The duration of the safety zone is intended to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential
hazards created from a barge-based firework display. No vessel or
person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from 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. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has not been designated
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. This safety zone impacts a
small portion of the waterway for a limited duration of one hour in the
evening. Vessel traffic will be informed about the safety zone through
local notices to mariners. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue
broadcast notices to mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the
zone and the rule allows vessels to seek permission to transit 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
contact 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. 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 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
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 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 one hour that will prohibit entry
to the Allegheny River mile 0.0-0.25, Ohio River mile 0.0-0.1,
Monongahela River mile 0.0-0.1 during the barge-based firework event.
It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34 (g)
of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact 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.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

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

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On February 13, 2020, the Commission issued an order approving the
Rule Filing,\8\ which was filed by NSCC pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of
the Act.\9\ The Commission also issued a notice of no objection to the
Advance Notice,\10\ which was filed with the Commission pursuant to
Section 806(e)(1) of Title VIII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act entitled the Payment, Clearing, and
Settlement Supervision Act of 2010 \11\ and Rule 19b-4(n)(1)(i) of the
Act.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88191 (February 13,
2020) (SR-NSCC-2019-004).]
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88162 (February 11,
2020) (SR-NSCC-2019-801).
    \11\ 12 U.S.C. 5465(e)(1).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(n)(1)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of the Rule Filing and the Advance Notice is to amend
the Rules to enhance the methodology NSCC uses for calculating the
haircut-based margin charge applicable to municipal bonds.
    NSCC is filing this proposed rule change to establish February 28,
2020 as the implementation date of the rule changes submitted pursuant
to the Rule Filing and the Advance Notice. Specifically, NSCC would add
a legend to Procedure XV (Clearing Fund Formula and Other Matters) of
the Rules (``Procedure XV'') \13\ to state that the rule changes
submitted pursuant to the Rule Filing and the Advance Notice have been
approved and not objected to, respectively, but are not yet
implemented. The legend would provide February 28, 2020 as the date on
which these rule changes would be implemented and include the file
numbers of the Rule Filing and the Advance Notice. The legend would
also state that when the rule changes are implemented the legend would
automatically be removed from Procedure XV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Procedure XV, supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act requires, in part, that the Rules
be designed to (i) promote the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions and (ii) remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a national system for the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions, and, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest.\14\ The proposed
rule change would establish the implementation date of rule changes
described above and provide Members with an understanding of when these
rule changes will begin to affect them. Knowing when the rule changes
will begin to affect Members would enable them to timely fulfill their
obligations to NSCC, which would in turn ensure NSCC's processes work
as intended. Therefore, NSCC believes that the proposed rule change
would promote

the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities
transactions as well as remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
of a national system for the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions, consistent with Section
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act cited above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NSCC does not believe that the proposed rule change to establish an
implementation date for the rule changes described above would have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition because the proposed rule
change is intended to provide additional clarity in the Rules with
respect to when these rule changes would be implemented. As such, the
proposed rule change would not affect the rights or obligations of the
Members or NSCC other than establishing when the rule changes described
above would begin to impact the Members.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    NSCC has not received or solicited any written comments relating to
this proposal. NSCC will notify the Commission of any written comments
received by NSCC.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) \15\ of the Act and paragraph (f) \16\ of Rule 19b-4
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

    \15\ 15 U.S.C 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f).

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
