SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments on the following information
collection was published on January 4, 2016 (81 FR 141-142).
    Title: Recruitment and Debriefing of Human Subjects for Head-Up
Displays and Distraction Potential.
    OMB Control Number: None.
    Type of Request: New Information Collection.
    Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's
(NHTSA) mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce economic
losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. Head-up display (HUD)
technology presents many opportunities and challenges for mitigating
driver distraction, improving driver comfort, and engaging drivers with
their vehicles. On one hand, the reduction of the distance that the
eyes need to travel between a focal point on the forward road and a
focal point on an in-vehicle display can minimize the amount of time
required to view a display relative to a traditional Head-Down Display
(HDD). There is also an added benefit in that peripheral roadway
information can be processed while viewing a HUD, allowing partial
support of some aspects of vehicle control, like lane keeping. On the
other hand, humans have difficulty simultaneously processing two visual
displays overlaid on each other. Viewing HUDs while driving may
therefore prevent drivers from perceiving events in the environment,
particularly centrally located hazards such as a braking lead vehicle.
There is a concern that if drivers perceive HUDs to be safer than HDDs
that they may not regulate the length of time they spend looking at the
HUD. The HUD may therefore negatively alter drivers' visual scanning
behavior. The benefits and drawbacks of using a HUD in a vehicle must
therefore be fully investigated and properly understood.
    The proposed study will examine the distraction potential of HUD
use on driving performance. The information collection involves
collecting eligibility information and demographic information. The
study focuses on HUD technologies that display information about the
state of the vehicle (e.g., vehicle speed, navigation information) near
the driver's forward field of view (e.g., projected into the lower
portion of the windshield in front of the driver).
    Affected Public: Voluntary study participants.

    Number of Respondents: VTTI will contact approximately 100
individuals by phone and use an eligibility questionnaire to determine
their eligibility for the study. It is estimated that 60 of these
individuals will qualify to be enrolled into the study. The 60
individuals who will be contacted are persons who have volunteered to
take part in driving studies in the past. Businesses are ineligible for
the sample and will not be contacted. These 60 individuals will
complete an informed consent document and a demographic questionnaire.
    Number of Responses: Completion of the eligibility questions is
estimated to take approximately 10 minutes per individual (100
individuals). Information Sheet is expected to take 10 minutes per
individual (60 individuals). Demographic questions are expected to take
3 minutes per individual (60 individuals). Informed consent is expected
to take 5 minutes per individual (60 individuals).
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 45 hours for all responses from all
individuals.
    Frequency of Collection: This is a one-time collection to obtain
the target number of 48 valid test participants.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.95.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF12-18-000; Docket No. PF12-20-000]

Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Oregon LNG Export Project and Washington Expansion
Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of
Public Scoping Meetings

LNG Development Company, LLC   Docket No. PF12-18-000
 and Oregon Pipeline Company.
Northwest Pipeline GP........  Docket No. PF12-20-000

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) is in
the process of evaluating the construction and operation of facilities
proposed by LNG Development Company, LLC and Oregon Pipeline Company
(collectively referred to as Oregon LNG). The new proposal is referred
to as the Oregon LNG Export Project (Export Project) and has been
assigned Docket No. PF12-18-000. Oregon LNG plans to amend its pending
application in Docket Nos. CP09-6-000 and CP09-7-000 (Oregon LNG
Terminal and Pipeline Project) into a bidirectional liquefied natural
gas (LNG) terminal and pipeline after completion of the FERC's pre-
filing review process for the Export Project.
    The Oregon LNG Export Project would be comprised of: (1)
Liquefaction facilities to be located at the proposed import terminal
site in Warrenton, Oregon, and (2) about 39 miles of new 36-inch-
diameter pipeline. The new pipeline would traverse Columbia County,
Oregon and end in Cowlitz County, Washington to interconnect with the
interstate gas transmission system of Northwest Pipeline GP
(Northwest). Northwest proposes to expand the capacity of its pipeline
between Sumas and Woodland, Washington to provide natural gas to the
proposed Oregon LNG terminal and to growing markets in the state of
Washington. Northwest's Washington Expansion Project (WEP) also is in
the FERC's pre-filing review process (Docket No. PF12-20-000).
    Oregon LNG's Export Project and Northwest's WEP would be connected
actions, and the FERC intends on evaluating both project proposals in
the same environmental impact statement (EIS). The EIS will also
address the unchanged components of the Oregon LNG Terminal and
Pipeline Project, as originally proposed, for which scoping has already
been carried out. As described below, the FERC will hold public
meetings to allow the public to provide input to the assessment of the
Oregon LNG Export Project and the WEP.
    The FERC will be the lead federal agency in the preparation of the
EIS that will satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA). The U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S Fish and Wildlife Service
are cooperating agencies on the pending Oregon LNG Project under Docket
Nos. CP09-6-000 and CP09-7-000. The Commission will use the EIS in its
decision-making process to determine whether or not to authorize the
projects. This Notice of Intent (NOI) explains the scoping process we
\1\ will use to gather information on the project from the public and
interested agencies. Your input will help identify the issues that need
to be evaluated in the EIS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the FERC's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comments on the projects may be submitted in written form or
verbally. Further details on how to submit written comments are
provided in the Public Participation section of this NOI. In lieu of
sending written comments, we invite you to attend one of the public
scoping meetings scheduled as follows:

    This NOI is being sent to federal, state, and local government
agencies; elected officials; affected landowners; environmental and
public interest groups; Indian tribes and regional Native American
organizations; commentors and other interested parties; and local
libraries and newspapers. We encourage government representatives to
notify their constituents of this planned project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if
the Commission approves the project, that approval conveys with it the
right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to
produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with
state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses
a number of typically-asked questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Summary of the Proposed Projects

    Oregon LNG Export Project: The Oregon LNG Export Project would
consist of components new to and modified from the originally proposed
import-only LNG terminal and pipeline (Docket Numbers CP09-6-000 and
CP09-7-000) to allow Oregon LNG to export LNG. The Export Project
(PF12-18-000) would be capable of liquefying approximately 1.3 billion
cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of pretreated natural gas for the export of
approximately 9 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG via LNG
carriers.
    Specifically, the Export Project would be comprised of: (1)
Liquefaction and export facilities to be located at the proposed import
terminal site in Warrenton, Oregon, and (2) about 39 miles of new
pipeline commencing at milepost 47.5 of the pending proposed Oregon
Pipeline.
    Liquefaction facilities would include:
     A natural gas pretreatment facility to remove sulfur
compounds, water, mercury, and other impurities;

     Two liquefaction process trains, each capable of a
liquefaction capacity of approximately 4.5 MTPA;
     Refrigerant storage;
     New flare system; and
     New water intake on the Columbia River and water delivery
pipeline from the intake to a new water treatment system.
    In addition, the proposed Export Project would include expansion of
system, equipment, and structures associated with the original import
terminal design. No additional marine facilities would be required for
the Export Project.
    Pipeline facilities would include:
     A new pipeline segment: and
     A new compressor station at MP 80.8.
    The new pipeline segment would extend northeast to east from the
southwest corner of Columbia County, Oregon to Woodland, Washington to
interconnect with the interstate natural gas transmission system of
Northwest Pipeline.
    Washington Expansion Project: Northwest states that the purpose of
its Project is to expand the capacity of its pipeline between Sumas and
Woodland, Washington, by 750,000 dekatherms per day to provide natural
gas to the proposed Oregon LNG import/export terminal in Warrenton,
Oregon, and to growing markets in the state of Washington.
    Pipeline facilities for the WEP would include:
     About 140 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline loop along
Northwest's existing Northwest Pipeline in 10 segments; and
     An additional 96,000 horsepower (hp) of compression at
five existing compressor stations.
    Upon completion, the Northwest Pipeline would be capable of
delivering about 1.25 billion cubic feet per day of gas at the
interconnect with the proposed Oregon LNG pipeline in Woodland. The 10
segments of new pipeline loop would be noncontiguous and traverse
through Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Thurston, Lewis, and
Cowlitz Counties. These segments would vary in length from 5 miles to
45 miles. The loops would be placed within Northwest's existing right-
of-way to the extent practicable and the existing compressor station
footprints would not change.
    Location maps (figures 1 and 2) depicting the proposed facilities
are attached to this NOI as Appendix 1.\2\

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at

The EIS Process

    NEPA requires the Commission to take into account the environmental
impacts that could result from an action when it considers whether or
not an LNG terminal or an interstate natural gas pipeline should be
approved. The FERC will use the EIS to consider the environmental
impacts that could result if it issues project authorizations to
Northwest under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Oregon LNG under
sections 3 and 7 of the Natural Gas Act. NEPA also requires us to
discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. This
process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping
process is to focus the analysis in the EIS on the important
environmental issues. See flow chart for our EIS Pre-Filing
Environmental Review Process in Appendix 2. With this NOI, the
Commission staff is requesting public comments on the scope of the
issues to be addressed in the EIS relative to the Export Project and
the WEP. All comments received (written or oral) will be considered
during preparation of the EIS.
    In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction, operation, and maintenance of the proposed projects
under these general topics:

 Geology and soils
 Water resources
 Aquatic and marine resources
 Vegetation and wildlife
 Threatened and endangered species
 Land use, recreation, and visual resources
 Cultural resources
 Socioeconomics
 Air quality and noise
 Reliability and safety
 Cumulative impacts

    In the EIS, we will also evaluate possible alternatives to the
proposed project or portions of the project, and make recommendations
on how to lessen or avoid impacts on affected resources.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be included in a draft
EIS. The draft EIS will be mailed to federal, state, and local
government agencies; elected officials; affected landowners;
environmental and public interest groups; Indian tribes and regional
Native American organizations; commentors; other interested parties;
local libraries and newspapers; and the FERC's official service list
for this proceeding. A 45-day comment period will be allotted for
review of the draft EIS. We will consider all comments on the draft EIS
and revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. The
Commission will consider the findings in the final EIS when it makes
its decision about whether to approve or disapprove the project. To
ensure that your comments are considered, please follow the
instructions in the Public Participation section of this NOI.
    Although no formal applications have been filed for the Export
Project and WEP, the FERC staff has already initiated its NEPA review
under its pre-filing process. The purpose of the pre-filing process is
to encourage early involvement of interested stakeholders and to
identify and resolve issues before an application is filed with the
FERC.
    With this NOI, we are asking federal, state, and local agencies
with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to
environmental issues, in addition to those agencies that have already
agreed to serve as cooperating agencies, to formally cooperate with us
in the preparation of the EIS. These agencies may choose to participate
once they have evaluated the proposal relative to their
responsibilities. Additional agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the Public Participation section of this NOI.

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified issues that we think deserve attention
based on our previous experience with similar projects in the region.
This preliminary list of issues, which is presented below, may be
revised based on your comments and our continuing analyses specific to
the Export Project and WEP.

 Safety of residents during construction and operation of the
project
 Noise and air quality
 Marine and aquatic environment
 Geological hazards, including seismic activity and landslides
 Pipeline impacts on waterbodies and wetlands, including issues
of erosion control
 Vegetation, including the clearing of forested areas
 Pipeline construction in dense residential areas
 Threatened and endangered species and wildlife habitat
 Recreation and recreational areas
 Cultural resources
 Property values and socioeconomic concerns

    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about Export Project and WEP. By becoming a
commentor, your concerns will be addressed in the EIS and considered by
the Commission. Your comments to the FERC will be most useful if they
focus on the potential environmental effects of the proposal,
reasonable alternatives to the proposal, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impact. The more specific your comments, the more
useful they will be. Comments that you submit to the FERC during the
pre-filing process will be part of the public record and will not have
to be resubmitted after Oregon LNG and Northwest file their application
with the FERC. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly
recorded, please send them so that the Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before November 8, 2012.
    For your convenience, there are three methods which you can use to
submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances please
reference the project docket numbers (PF12-18-000 for the Export
Project or PF12-20-000 for the WEP) with your submission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert
eFiling staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's Web site at www.ferc.gov under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for interested persons to
submit brief, text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature on the Commission's Web site at www.ferc.gov under the link to
Documents and Filings. With eFiling you can provide comments in a
variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your submission.
New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on
``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If
you are filing a comment on a particular project, please select
``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426.
    The public scoping meetings (dates, times, and locations listed
above) are designed to provide another opportunity to offer comments on
the proposed project. Interested groups and individuals are encouraged
to attend the meetings and to present comments on the environmental
issues that they believe should be addressed in the EIS. A transcript
of the meetings will be generated so that your comments will be
accurately recorded.
    If you are currently an intervenor in the pending Oregon LNG
Terminal and Pipeline Project proposal, you do not need to file for
intervention status once Oregon LNG files its updated application with
the Commission. Your intervention status will remain with the amended
proposal.
    Once Oregon LNG and Northwest formally file their applications with
the Commission, you may want to become an ``intervenor,'' which is an
official party to the proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role
in the process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be
heard by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final
ruling. An intervenor formally participates in a Commission proceeding
by filing a request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an
intervenor are in the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the
Commission's web site. Please note that you may not request intervenor
status at this time. You must wait until formal applications are filed
with the Commission.

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property or
mineral rights may be used permanently or temporarily for project
purposes, and anyone who submits comments on the project. We will
update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds to
ensure that we send the information related to this environmental
review to all individuals, organizations, and government entities
interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed project.
    On April 12, 2012 Oregon LNG notified the property owners who are
no longer affected by the new Oregon LNG proposal. If you are no longer
affected by the new proposal, and would like to be removed from our
mailing list, please return the attached Information Request (Appendix
3) indicating this. If you would like to remain on the environmental
mailing list, you do not need to reply.
    Copies of the EIS will be sent to the environmental mailing list
for public review and comment. If you would prefer to receive a paper
copy of the document instead of the CD version or would like to remove
your name from the mailing list, please return the attached Information
Request (Appendix 3).

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from May 26, 2009 through June 12, 2009, consists of the PMNs
and TME, both pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to
manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA
section 5 during this time period.

DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before August 17, 2009.

specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
     iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
     iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
     v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
     vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
     vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use
of profanity or personal threats.
     viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones Within the Captain of the Port New Orleans Zone, New
Orleans to Baton Rouge, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing temporary safety zones for
multiple locations and dates within the Captain of the Port New Orleans
(COTP Zone). These safety zones are necessary to provide for the safety

is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port
New Orleans (COTP) or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from July 5, 2017
through July 14, 2017. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice
will be used from 8:00 p.m. through 10:00 p.m. each day from July 1,
2017 through July 5, 2017.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is establishing four temporary safety zones within
the COTP New Orleans Zone (COTP Zone) for the following planned
fireworks displays.
    1. Mandeville City 4th of July Celebration Fireworks are scheduled
from 8:45 p.m. through 9:45 p.m. on July 1, 2017. The fireworks barge
will be positioned on Lake Pontchartrain, in vicinity of
30[deg]21'12.0'' N. and 090[deg]04'28.9'' W.
    2. L'Auberge Casino 4th of July Celebration Fireworks are scheduled
from 8:45 p.m. through 9:45 p.m. on July 2, 2017. The fireworks barge
will be positioned in the Lower Mississippi River at Mile Marker 217.0
above Head of Passes.
    3. St. John the Baptist Parish 4th of July Celebration Fireworks
are scheduled from 8:00 p.m. through 9:00 p.m. on July 3, 2017. The
fireworks barge will be positioned in the Lower Mississippi River at
Mile Marker 138.0 above Head of Passes.
    4. BBC Beach Body special event fireworks are scheduled from 10:30
p.m.

through 11:15 p.m. on July 14, 2017. The fireworks barge will be
positioned in the Lower Mississippi River at Mile Marker 96.2 above
Head of Passes.
    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 publishing an NPRM would be
impracticable and against public interest. We must establish this
safety zone by July 1, 2017 and lack sufficient time to provide a
reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before
issuing the rule. The NPRM process would delay the establishment of
these safety zones until after the scheduled dates of the fireworks
displays and jeopardize public safety.
    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 the effective
date of this rule would be contrary to public interest because the rule
would not be effective until after the scheduled displays occur.

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 New Orleans (COPT) has determined that
these safety zones are necessary to provide for the safety of life and
to protect property due to the potential hazards associated with barge-
based fireworks displays taking place on these navigable waterways. The
Coast Guard will notify the public and maritime community of the
proposed safety zones and their respective enforcement periods via
Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM).

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes four temporary safety zones within the COTP
Zone on several dates and in different locations. Each safety zone will
be enforced on the respective dates listed above and in the regulatory
text provided at the end of this document. Each safety zone is limited
to a duration of one hour, and will occur during the evening on the
dates of July 1, July 2, July 3, and July 14, 2017. Entry into these
safety zones is prohibited unless permission has been granted by the
COTP or a designated representative.
    The COTP will inform the public through Broadcast Notice to
Mariners (BNM) of the enforcement period for each safety zone as well
as any changes in the planned schedule. Inquiries may be made with the
Coast Guard Sector New Orleans Command Center regarding the status of
the safety zone by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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, duration, and time-of-year of the safety zone. Three of the
safety zones will be no greater than 1 mile in length and will restrict
navigation on the Lower Mississippi River for no longer than one hour
each. The remaining safety zones will be established on Lake
Pontchartrain, extending a 600 foot radius from position
30[deg]21'12.0'' N. and 090[deg]04'28.9'' W. and will restrict
navigation for no longer than one hour. Due to the limited scope and
short duration of each safety zone, the impact on routine navigation is
expected to be minimal. Additionally, notice of the safety zones or any
changes in the planned schedule will be made via Broadcast Notice to
Mariners. Entry into the safety zones may be requested from the COTP or
a designated representative and will be considered on a case-by-case
basis.

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 four temporary safety zones within the COTP Zone on four
separate days. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant Instruction M16475.1D. A
Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) 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.
