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

    FINRA is proposing to establish October 17, 2011, as the
implementation date of the amendments to FINRA Rules 7410 and 7470 that
the Commission approved on November 12, 2010.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63311 (November 12,
2010), 75 FR 70757 (November 18, 2010) (SR-FINRA-2010-044).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal

office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    FINRA is filing the proposed rule change to establish October 17,
2011, as the implementation date for the amendments to the Order Audit
Trail System (``OATS'') rules expanding the OATS recording and
reporting requirements to all NMS stocks.
    On November 12, 2010, the SEC approved SR-FINRA-2010-044, which
amended FINRA Rules 7410 and 7470 to expand the OATS recording and
reporting requirements to include all NMS stocks.\6\ On January 11,
2011, FINRA published Regulatory Notice 11-03 announcing that the
Commission approved the amendments and that FINRA was publishing a new
version of the OATS Reporting Technical Specifications. Pursuant to the
SEC's approval of SR-FINRA-2010-044 and the timing set forth in
Regulatory Notice 11-03, the amendments to the OATS Rules were
originally scheduled to begin to be phased in on July 11, 2011, six
months after the publication of Regulatory Notice 11-03 and the revised
OATS Reporting Technical Specifications. On April 26, 2011, FINRA filed
a proposed rule change delaying the beginning of the implementation
period until October 3, 2011.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63311 (November 12,
2010), 75 FR 70757 (November 18, 2010) (SR-FINRA-2010-044).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64369 (April 29,
2011), 76 FR 25399 (May 4, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The OATS test environment, which allows firms to voluntarily submit
data to FINRA to test the adequacy of their reporting systems, was made
available for members beginning on August 22, 2011, so that firms could
begin testing the reporting of orders for all NMS stocks. After
reviewing the results of firms' reporting in the test environment since
that time, FINRA believes that firms, and the quality of the data
submitted to OATS, would benefit from an additional two-week period
during which firms can continue to test their systems changes.
Consequently, FINRA is seeking to delay the implementation of the new
OATS recording and reporting requirements for NMS stocks for an
additional two weeks, until October 17, 2011, to give firms additional
time to make necessary adjustments and changes to their systems, and to
test those adjustments and changes in FINRA's test environment. FINRA
believes that a two-week delay will help ensure that firms can comply
with the expanded OATS recording and reporting requirements on the
implementation date. Consequently, FINRA will begin to phase-in the new
recording and reporting requirements beginning on October 17, 2011.
    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\8\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that extending the implementation date
of the extension of the OATS Rules to all NMS stocks will ensure that
firms have sufficient time to ensure that the necessary changes to
their systems are implemented to enable the firms to comply with the
new OATS recording and reporting requirements when they become
effective. In addition, FINRA believes that extending the
implementation date will improve the quality of the data submitted to
FINRA once the proposed rule change is implemented.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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) of the Act \9\ and paragraph (f)(1) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\10\ 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. If
the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute
proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved
or disapproved.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2019-0317]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Northern California and Lake Tahoe Area Annual
Fireworks Events, San Francisco, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to amend and establish several
permanent safety zones in the Captain of the Port San Francisco zone.
This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on the
navigable waters of the San Francisco Bay, Carquinez Strait, Mare
Island Strait, Sacramento River, Lake Tahoe, and Monterrey Bay during
annual fireworks displays. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit
persons and vessels from entering the safety zones unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port San Francisco or a designated representative.
We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 18, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2019-0317 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

proposed rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant Jennae Cotton, Waterways
Management, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port San Francisco
DHS Department of Homeland Security
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Fireworks displays in 33 CFR part 165.1191 are held annually on the
navigable waters within the Captain of the Port San Francisco (COTP)
zone. After conducting a review of the fireworks displays listed in 33
CFR part 165.1191, the specifications for eight of the events listed in
the table no longer accurately reflect the actual event parameters, and
three annual fireworks displays are not listed in the table. The COTP
has determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks
used in these displays would be a safety concern for anyone within the
safety zones during the fireworks displays. The purpose of this
rulemaking is to ensure safety on the navigable waters within the
safety zones for the fireworks displays before, during, and after the
scheduled events. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP is proposing to amend Table 1 to Sec.  165.1191. Eight
fireworks displays will be amended, and three fireworks displays will
be added.
    The fireworks events we propose to amend are listed numerically in
Table 1 of this section as item 7, ``San Francisco Independence Day
Fireworks,'' item 8, ``Fourth of July Fireworks, Berkeley Marina,''
item 9, ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of Richmond,'' item 19, ``Red,
White, and Tahoe Blue Fireworks, Incline Village, NV,'' item 22,
``Monte Foundation Fireworks,'' item 24, ``San Francisco New Years Eve
Fireworks,'' item 25, ``Sacramento New Years Eve Fireworks,'' and item
27, ``Feast of Lanterns Fireworks.''
    The display locations for items 7, 8, 9, 25, and 27 no longer
accurately reflect the display locations for the events, so this rule
proposes to insert updated location descriptions into the table.
    The name of item 19 has changed from ``Red, White, and Tahoe Blue
Fireworks, Incline Village, NV'' to ``Incline Village Independence Day
Fireworks'' and would be updated in the table to reflect the name
change.
    The display dates listed in items 22, 24, and 27 do not accurately
reflect the display dates for the fireworks displays, so this rule
proposes to update them as follows. Item 22, ``Monte Foundation
Fireworks'' currently states the date as the second Saturday in
October, but the fireworks have occurred on the second Saturday or
Sunday in October. Item 24, ``San Francisco New Years Eve Fireworks''
currently states it occurs on New Years Eve, but the event has lasted
into the early hours of New Year's Day, so we propose adding January
1st as a display date as well to be more accurate. Item 27, ``Feast of
Lanterns Fireworks'' currently states it occurs on the last Saturday of
July, but due to the variance in the event dates, we are amending the
dates to say a Saturday or Sunday in July. As stated in Sec.
165.1191(a), the Coast Guard will provide exact dates, times, and other
details concerning the fireworks listed in table 1 to Sec.  165.1191 in
the Local Notice to Mariners at least 20 days prior to the event.
    The Regulated Area description for item 22, ``Monte Foundation
Fireworks'', would be revised to clarify the safety zone will be in the
navigable waters around and under the Capitola Pier.
    This rule proposes to add three safety zones covering three
reoccurring fireworks events to Table 1 in 33 CFR 165.1191. The three
new fireworks events would be listed in Table 1 of this section as item
31, ``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of Benicia,'' item 32, ``Fourth of
July Fireworks, City of Vallejo,'' and item 33 ``Berkeley Winter on the
Waterfront Fireworks.'' All three of these fireworks displays occurred
in previous years 2017, 2018, and 2019. Both the Benicia, CA fireworks
and the City of Vallejo, CA fireworks will occur annually on the Fourth
of July. The Berkley, CA fireworks displays will occur annually on the
second Saturday or Sunday in December. The Coast Guard believes it is
beneficial to include these additional fireworks displays in the list
of reoccurring permanent regulations to increase public awareness of
when safety zones would be enforced in these marine areas. The
regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed 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 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the limited
duration and narrowly tailored geographic areas of the safety zones.
Although this rule restricts access to the waters encompassed by the
safety zones, the effect of this rule will not be significant because
the local waterway users will be notified via public Notice to Mariners
to ensure the safety zones will result in minimum impact. The entities
most likely to be affected are waterfront facilities, commercial
vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in recreational activities.

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
proposed rule would 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 zones may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator for the following reasons: (i)
This rule will encompass only a small portion of each affected waterway
for a limited period of time for each fireworks event, and (ii) the
maritime public will be advised in advance of these safety zones via
Notice to Mariners.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    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 proposed 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. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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 proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves safety
zones of limited sizes and durations. Normally such actions are
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
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed 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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2017-1034]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Port of Ponce Turning Basin, Bah[iacute]a de Ponce,
Ponce, PR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters within a 100 yard radius of the salvage vessel and
associated machinery in the Turning Basin, Bahia De Ponce in Ponce,
Puerto Rico (PR). The safety zone is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environments from potential hazards created by
the salvage operations. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is
prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port
San Juan.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from November 9,
2017 until 7 p.m. on November 12, 2017. For the purposes of
enforcement, actual

notice will be used from 7 a.m. on November 5, 2017 until November 9,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Acronyms

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 of a submerged vessel was located in
Port of Ponce Turning Basin and immediate action is needed to respond
to potential safety hazards associated with emergency salvage
operations. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because a safety
zone must be established by November 5, 2017.
    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 for the same reasons
discussed above. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be
impracticable because immediate action is needed to respond to
potential safety hazards associated with salvage operations in Port of
Ponce Turning Basin.

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 San Juan (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with emergency salvage operations starting
on November 5, 2017 through November 12, 2017, will be a safety concern
for anyone within a 100-yard radius of the salvage vessel and
associated machinery with the operation. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone while the obstructions are removed.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on
November 5, 2017 through November 12, 2017. The safety zone will cover
all navigable waters within 100 yards of vessels and associated
machinery being used by personnel to clear the obstructions in Port of
Ponce Turning Basin. The duration of the zone is intended to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable
waters while the operation is ongoing. 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 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. 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), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. The majority of vessel
traffic will be able to safely transit around the safety zone, which
will impact only a portion of the Turning Basin in Ponce, PR for a
short period time. Under certain conditions, moreover, vessels may
still transit through the safety zone when permitted by the COTP or a
designated representative.

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 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
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 that will prohibit entry within 100 yards
of vessels and associated machinery being used by personnel to remove
an obstruction in the Port of Ponce. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

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.

    Title: NSPS for Fossil-Fuel-Fired Steam Generating Units (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1052.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0026.
    ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved
collection that will expire on November 30, 2006. Under the OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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. The OMB control number for

EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and
displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Owners or operators of steam generating units subject to
Subpart D must make one-time-only notifications of construction/
reconstruction, anticipated and actual startup, initial performance
test, physical or operational changes, and demonstration of a
continuous monitoring system. They must also submit reports on initial
performance test results, monitoring system performance, and excess
emissions. Records must be maintained of startups, shutdowns,
malfunctions, and periods when the continuous monitoring system is
inoperative.
    The required notifications are used to inform the Agency or
delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard.
Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's record of
a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and
serve as a record of the operating conditions under which compliance
was achieved. The monitoring and excess emissions reports (which are
semiannual) are used for problem identification, as a check on source
operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations. The
information collected from recordkeeping and reporting requirements are
used for targeting inspections, and for other uses in compliance and
enforcement programs.
    Responses to this information collection are deemed to be
mandatory, per section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data and other information that have
been determined not to be private. However, any information submitted
to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be
safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40,
chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--Confidentiality of Business Information
(CBI) (see 40 CFR part 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43
FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR
17674, March 23, 1979).
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 46.6
hours per response. Burden means 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. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to respond to a
collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the
collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of fossil-fuel-
fired steam generating units.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 660.
    Frequency of Response: Semiannual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 61,545 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $13,415,450, which includes $0
annualized capital start up costs, $9,900,000 Operations & Maintenance
(O & M) annual costs, and $3,515,450 annual labor costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is no change of hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB inventory of Approved
ICR Burdens.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8219]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not
occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact David Stearrett, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities agree to adopt and administer
local floodplain management aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale
of NFIP flood insurance unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations, 44 CFR
part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. We recognize that some of
these communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue their eligibility for the sale
of insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of the communities
will be published in the Federal Register.
    In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and public comment under 5 U.S.C.
553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary because communities listed in
this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate
public body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with
effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no longer comply
with the statutory requirements, and after the effective date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in the communities unless
remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
