[Docket No. CP16-12-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on October 26, 2015, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company, L.L.C. (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas
77002, filed an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA) requesting authorization to construct and operate its
Southwest Louisiana Supply Project to provide 295,000 dekatherms per
day of incremental capacity to serve Mitsubishi Corporation and MMGS,
Inc. Specifically, Tennessee proposes to construct (i) approximately
2.4 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline lateral in Madison Parish,
Louisiana; (ii) approximately 1.4 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline
lateral in Richland and Franklin Parishes, Louisiana; (iii) five meter
stations to allow Tennessee to receive gas on its existing 800 Line
from five interconnecting pipelines; (iv) one new compressor station in
Franklin Parish, Louisiana; and (v) to replace a turbine engine at an
existing compressor station in Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Tennessee
estimates the cost of the Project to be $170,453,208, all as more fully
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection. The filing is available for review at the
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact
FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or
TYY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to
Patrick Stewart, Senior Counsel, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company,
L.L.C., 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, by telephone at
(713) 369-8765, by facsimile at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit five copies of filings made in the proceeding with the
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other
party. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and five copies of the protest or intervention to
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 30, 2015.

    Dated: November 9, 2015.

Deputy Secretary.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register of March 19, 2019,
concerning the cancellations voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency but have not yet become effective. This
notice is being issued to amend the cancellation order, as requested by
the registrant, by amending the effective date of the cancellation and
the existing stocks provision for the two triadimefon registrations
(264-736 and 264-740).

DATES: The Federal Register of March 19, 2019, announced the
voluntarily cancellation of two triadimefon registrations (264-736 and
264-740) that the registrant requested.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew B. Khan, Pesticide
Reevaluation Division (7502P), Office of Pesticide Programs,
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington,
DC 20460-0001; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER> email address:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action.

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    The docket for this action, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0014, is available at http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pesticide Programs Regulatory
Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection Agency
Docket Center (EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334,
1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001.
    Due to the public health concerns related to COVID-19, the EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC) and Reading Room is closed to visitors with
limited exceptions. The staff continues to provide remote customer
service via email, phone, and webform. For the latest status
information on EPA/DC services and docket access, visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets.

II. What does this amendment do?

    This notice is being issued to amend the voluntary cancellation
effective date for the two triadimefon registrations listed in Table 1
of the cancellation notice that published in the Federal Register on
March 19, 2019 (84 FR 10068) (FRL-9989-85), which was corrected in the
Federal Register on May 29, 2019 (84 FR 24778) (FRL-9992-29). The
agency was made aware by Bayer that the final shipments of their
triadimefon technical registrations were delayed due to quarantine
measures. Since the risk assessments for triadimefon have not yet been
conducted and no risks of concern have been identified at this time,
the agency has determined that this extension will not pose a
significant risk. This amendment grants the two-month extension for the
two triadimefon registrations (264-736 and 264-740). The effective
cancellation date for these registrations is now February 28, 2020,
with a one-year existing stocks provision.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: November 25, 2020.
Mary Reaves,
Acting Director, Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division, Office of Pesticide
Programs.

    k. This application has been accepted for filing and is ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
    l. Project Description: The existing Central Falls Project consists
of: (1) A 190-foot-long, 24-foot-high, curved granite-masonry dam
(Valley Falls Dam); (2) an approximately 64.5-acre impoundment with a
normal maximum elevation of 49.5 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum
of 1929; (3) a granite block and wood-framed gatehouse that is adjacent
to the dam and that contains ten gates that are 9 feet wide by 6 feet
tall; (4) a 290-foot-long, granite block-lined headrace; (5) an intake
structure with two 8-foot-high hydraulic gates and 24-foot-wide, 11.5-
foot-high, inclined trashracks having 3-inch clear bar spacing; (6) two
30-foot-long, 7-foot-diameter penstocks; (7) an approximately 53-foot-
long, 32-foot-wide concrete powerhouse containing two Allis-Chalmers
tube turbines with a total installed capacity of 700 kilowatts (kW);
(8) an approximately 1,200-foot-long, 36-foot-wide tailrace; (9) two
55-foot-long, 480-volt generator lead lines; and (10) appurtenant
facilities.
    BHA operates the project as a run-of-river facility, such that
outflow from the project approximates inflow. The project bypasses
approximately 0.3 mile of the Blackstone River. A 108-cubic feet per
second (cfs) minimum flow is released over the dam into the bypassed
reach. BHA discharges a continuous minimum flow of 238 cfs, or inflow,
whichever is less, as measured at the confluence of the tailrace and
the river channel. The average annual generation of the project is
approximately 1,230 megawatt-hours (MWh).
    BHA proposes to: (1) Continue operating the project in a run-of-
river mode; (2) retrofit the two existing turbines with variable pitch
blade runners to allow for the project to be operated at different
flows; (3) install a new bypassed flow pipe to provide a minimum flow
of 210 cfs to the bypassed reach, approximately 215 feet downstream of
the dam; (4) install a new 160-kW Natel Energy turbine-generator unit
in the proposed bypassed flow pipe to increase the project's capacity
and provide downstream fish passage; (5) install a new trashrack with
1-inch clear bar spacing in the headrace to prevent fish impingement
and entrainment; (6) install a new downstream fish passage facility in
the headrace, immediately upstream of the new trashrack; (7) maintain a
13-cfs aesthetic flow over the Valley Falls Dam; (8) provide a flow of
up to 3 cfs to the adjacent historic canal; (9) install an upstream eel
passage facility at the project dam; and (10) install 20 long-eared bat
boxes and implement a Northern Long Eared Bat Management and Protection
Plan to protect bats. BHA estimates the project enhancements will
result in an average annual generation of approximately 3,200 MWh.
    m. In addition to publishing the full text of this notice in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this notice, as well
as other documents in the proceeding (e.g., license application) via
the internet through the Commission's Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov)

Clarifications and Corrections to the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR): Control of Spacecraft Systems and Related Items the
President Determines No Longer Warrant Control Under the United States
Munitions List (USML)

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule makes clarifications and corrections to an
interim final rule that was published on May 13, 2014. The May 13 rule
added controls to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) for
spacecraft and related items that the President has determined no
longer warrant control under United States Munitions List (USML)
Category XV--spacecraft and related items. New Export Control
Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 9A515, 9B515, 9D515, and 9E515 created
by the May 13 rule and existing ECCNs on the Commerce Control List
(CCL) will control such items. The May 13 rule also revised various
sections of the EAR to provide the proper level of control for the new
ECCNs. The vast majority of the changes included in the May 13 rule
have been implemented as published in the interim final rule, so those
change are not republished in this final rule. A full description of
those changes can be found in the Background section and the regulatory
text of the May 13 rule. The changes included in this final rule are
limited to corrections and clarifications to what was included in the
interim final rule. These corrections and clarifications were also
informed by comments received in response to the May 13 rule that
included a request for comments.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective November 10, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions about the ECCNs included
in this rule, contact Dennis Krepp, Office of National Security and
Technology Transfer Controls, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This final rule makes corrections and clarifications to the interim
final rule, Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR):
Control of Spacecraft Systems and Related Items the President
Determines No Longer Warrant Control Under the United States Munitions
List (USML), that was published on May 13, 2014 (79 FR 27417) (May 13
interim final rule). The May 13 rule added controls to the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) for spacecraft and related items that
the President has determined no longer warrant control under United
States Munitions List (USML) Category XV--spacecraft and related items.
New Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 9A515, 9B515, 9D515,
and 9E515 created by the May 13 rule and preexisting ECCNs on the
Commerce Control List (CCL) will control such items. The May 13 rule
also revised various sections of the EAR to provide the proper level of
control for the new ECCNs.
    The vast majority of the changes included in the May 13 rule have
been implemented as published in the interim final rule, so those
change are not republished in this final rule. A full description of
those changes can be found in the Background section and the regulatory
text of the May 13 rule. The changes included in this final rule are
limited to corrections and clarifications to what was included in the
interim final rule. These corrections and clarifications were also
informed by comments received in response to the May 13 rule that
included a request for comments. This rule also adds a clarification to
Sec.  758.6 of the EAR stating that compliance with 22 CFR 123.9(b)(1)
is sufficient to satisfy the Destination Control Statement requirement
for the EAR of shipments that include both items subject to the EAR and
items subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
    The May 13 rule was published in conjunction with the publication
of a Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls rule
revising USML Category XV to control those articles the President has
determined warrant control on the USML. Both rules, including the final
rules published May 13 by the Departments of Commerce and State and the
rules making corrections to the May 13 rules, are part of the
President's Export Control Reform Initiative. The corrections and
clarifications to the May 13 rule are also part of Commerce's
retrospective regulatory review plan under Executive Order (EO) 13563.
    In Sec.  734.4 (De minimis U.S. content) under the introductory
text of paragraph (a)(6), this final rule adds a reference to 9x515 to
conform to the scope of paragraph (a)(6)(i) and (ii). The May 13
interim final rule added 9x515 to paragraph (a)(6)(i) and (ii), but did
not add a reference to the introductory text of paragraph (a)(6). In
order to provide greater clarity regarding the scope of paragraph
(a)(6) and to conform with the existing text of paragraphs (a)(6)(i)
and (ii), this final rule adds the reference to 9x515 to the
introductory text of this paragraph.
    In Sec.  740.2 (Restrictions on all license exceptions) under
paragraph (a)(5)(i), this final rule revises the cross reference to
Sec.  740.15(b) (License Exception AVS) to reference the correct name
of the license exception. The May 13 final rule revised the heading of
License Exception AVS, but inadvertently omitted the phrase ``or
spacecraft'' when referencing the scope of License Exception AVS in
paragraph (a)(5)(i) of this section.
    In Supplement No. 2 to part 748 (Unique Application and Submission
Requirements), this final rule revises the introductory text in
paragraph (y)(1) and the introductory text in paragraph (y)(2) to make
the same clarification. This final rule removes the phrase ``to a
country'' and replaces that phrase with the more specific phrase ``for
launch in or by a country''. The intent of both of these paragraphs is
to require unique application and submission requirements for exports
of satellites under ECCN 9A515.a for launch in or by one of the
countries identified under (y)(1) or (y)(2). The new text will make it
clearer for when applications will be subject to these unique
application and submission requirements.
    In the Commerce Control List in Supplement No. 1 to part 774, this
final rule makes clarifications to three Export Control Classification
Numbers (ECCNs): 9A004, 9A515 and 9E515, and adds a new Note to
Category 9.
    In Category 9 under Product Group E: ``Technology,'' this final
rule redesignates the Note to Product Group E as Note 1 and adds a new
Note 2 to Product Group E. This final rule adds Note 2 to provide
guidance on the classification of telemetry data specific to
commodities classified under ECCNs 9A004 and 9A515. This is the same
type of note that was included in ECCN 9E515 under Note 3 in the
interim final rule, but because the note also has applicability to
ECCNs 9E001 and 9E002, as they relate to 9A004, BIS decided to remove
Note 3 to 9E515 and add in its place a Note 2 that covers the concept
for purposes of Category 9 Product Group E. This note clarifies that
for purposes of Category 9, Product Group E that ECCNs 9E001, 9E002 and
9E515 do not control the data transmitted to or from a satellite or
``spacecraft,'' whether real or simulated, when limited to information
about the health, operational status, or measurements or function of,
or raw sensor output from, the ``spacecraft,'' ``spacecraft''
payload(s), or its associated subsystems or components. This note
clarifies that such information is not within the scope of information
captured within the definition of ``technology'' in the EAR for
purposes of ECCNs 9E001, 9E002 or 9E515.
    ECCN 9A004. In ECCN 9A004, this final rule adds an items paragraph
.y to the List of Items Controlled section. This new items paragraph .y
will control items that would otherwise be within the scope of 9A004.x
but that have been identified in an interagency-cleared commodity
classification (CCATS) pursuant to Sec.  748.3(e) as warranting control
in 9A004.y. The Sec.  748.3(e) CCATS process is an established process
under the EAR. This clarification to 9A004 specifies where certain
spacecraft related items determined to not warrant being classified as
``specially designed'' under a 9x515 ECCN may be designated on the CCL
that would otherwise have been classified under 9A00.x and controlled
for national security NS 1 reasons. Items determined to be classified
under 9A004.y will be controlled for anti-terrorism AT 1 reasons to
fewer destinations compared to items classified under 9A004.x.
    ECCN 9A515. This final rule makes three clarifications to ECCN
9A515.The final rule adds a Related Controls paragraph in the List of
Items Controlled section to inform people to see ECCN 9A610.g for
pressure suits used for high altitude aircraft. This new Related
Controls paragraph is a conforming change for the additions of new
``items'' paragraph f in 9A515, described below.
    This final rule also revises the Note to items paragraph .a in the
List of Items Controlled section. The revision to the note consists of
removing the phrase ``not identified in USML Category XV(a)'' from the
middle of the note and adding it to the end of this note. The phrase
``not identified in USML Category XV(a)'' is intended to modify all the
items referenced earlier in the note. Therefore, the placement of the

phrase in the context of the larger note was not correct. This final
rule corrects the placement of this phrase by adding it to the end of
the Note to paragraph .a in the List of Items Controlled section.
    Lastly, for ECCN 9A515, this final rule also adds a new items
paragraph .f in the List of Items Controlled section of 9A515 to
clarify that pressure suits (i.e., space suits) capable of operating at
altitudes 55,000 feet above sea level are controlled under this ECCN.
These space suits were removed from USML Category XV and were intended
to be classified under 9A515, but because of an oversight an items
paragraph was not included in 9A515 to control these suits, although
the intent as stated in the May 13 interim final rule was that such
commodities would be controlled along with the other ``spacecraft'' and
related commodities in 9A515.
    ECCN 9E515. This final rule removes Note 3 to 9E515 at the end of
the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to
conform to the addition of the same type of note to Category 9 Product
Group E: Technology, which was described above. The substance of the
note is the same, only the location has been changed in Category 9
because of the note's applicability to other Category 9 technology
ECCNs, specifically 9E001, 9E002 and 9E515.

Other Clarifications to the EAR

    This rule also add a clarification to Sec.  758.6 of the EAR
stating that compliance with 22 CFR 123.9(b)(1) is sufficient to
satisfy the Destination Control Statement requirement for the EAR for
shipments that include both items subject to the EAR and to the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Addressing Public Comments That May Be Received

    The May 13 interim final rule requested public comment through
November 10, 2014. BIS will review all comments received at that time
and address them through a subsequent rulemaking.
    As required by Executive Order (EO) 13563, BIS intends to review
this rule's impact on the licensing burden on exporters. Commerce's
full plan is available at: http://open.commerce.gov/news/2011/08/23/commerce-plan-analysis-existing-rules. Data are routinely collected on
an ongoing basis, including through the comments to be submitted and as
a result of new information and results from AES data. These results
and data have been, and will continue to form, the basis for ongoing
reviews of the rule and assessments of various aspects of the rule. As
part of its plan for retrospective analysis under EO 13563, BIS intends
to conduct periodic reviews of this rule and to modify, or repeal,
aspects of this rule, as appropriate, and after public notice and
comment. With regard to a number of aspects of this rule, assessments
and refinements will be made on an ongoing basis. This is particularly
the case with regard to possible modifications that will be considered
based on public comments described above.

Export Administration Act

    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by Executive Order 13637 of March
8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013) and as extended by the Notice of
August 7, 2014, 79 FR 46959 (August 11, 2014), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act. BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the
Export Administration Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted
by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This final rule has been determined to be not significant
for purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to, nor is subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with, a collection of information, subject to the requirements
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA),
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number. This regulation involves collections previously
approved by the OMB under control numbers 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose
Application,'' which carries a burden hour estimate of 43.8 minutes for
a manual or electronic submission. This rule does not alter any
information collection requirements; therefore, total burden hours
associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not
expected to increase as a result of this rule. You may send comments
regarding the collection of information associated with this rule,
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Jasmeet K. Seehra,
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by fax to<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
    4. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure
Act requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment
because they are unnecessary. The changes included in this final rule
are limited to corrections and clarifications to what was included in
the interim final rule. These revisions are non-substantive, or are
limited to only clarifying the regulations to ensure consistency with
the intent of the May 13, 2014 interim final rule; therefore, providing
an additional opportunity for public comment on these corrections is
unnecessary. In addition, for the revision to Sec.  758.6, the
Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)
to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act requiring
prior notice and the opportunity for public comment because they are
contrary to the public interest. BIS implements a revision to Sec.
758.6 of the EAR to clarify that compliance with Sec.  123.9(b)(1) of
the ITAR is sufficient for compliance with the Destination Control
Statement requirement in Sec.  758.6(1). Based on questions received by
the U.S. Government since the publication in April 16, 2013 initial
implementation of Export Control Reform rules by Commerce (78 FR 22661)
and State (78 FR 22740), confusion exists in industry as to whether
Sec.  758.6 requires exporters to include the Destination Control
Statement provided in the EAR in addition to the statement provided in
Sec.  123.9(b)(1) of the ITAR for shipments including both items
subject to the EAR and defense articles subject to the ITAR. The intent
of the April 16, 2013 Commerce rule was not to require an additional
Commerce Destination Control Statement for transactions authorized by
State because it would be redundant with the State Destination Control
Statement. The clarification to Sec.  758.6 will address this perceived
confusion and clarify that an EAR Destination Control Statement is not
required in such cases.

    In addition, BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in
effectiveness under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) because it will allow the
corrections and clarifications to go into effect at the same time as
the related provisions from the May 13, 2014 rule. This will reduce the
potential for confusion among the public.
    5. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq., generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis of any rule subject to the notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553) or any other statute, unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Under section 605(b) of the RFA, however, if
the head of an agency certifies that a rule will not have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small entities, the statute does not
require the agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis.
Pursuant to section 605(b), the Chief Counsel for Regulation,
Department of Commerce, submitted a memorandum to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy, Small Business Administration, certifying that this rule will
not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities. A summary of the factual basis for the certification was
provided in the May 13 interim final rule and is not repeated here. BIS
did not receive any comments in response to the proposed rule regarding
the economic impact of this rule or to the certification made by the
Chief Counsel. As a result, a final regulatory flexibility analysis is
not required and one was not prepared.

0
b. Adding a Note 2 to Product Group E: ``Technology'' to read as

Category 9--Aerospace and Propulsion

* * * * *

E. ``Technology''

    Note 1:  ``Development'' or ``production'' ``technology''
controlled by 9E001 to 9E003 for gas turbine engines remains
controlled when used for repair or overhaul. Excluded from 9E001 to
9E003 control are: technical data, drawings or documentation for
maintenance activities directly associated with calibration, removal
or replacement of damaged or unserviceable line replaceable units,
including replacement of whole engines or engine modules.

    Note 2: USML Category XV(f) and ECCNs 9E001, 9E002 and 9E515 do
not control the data transmitted to or from a satellite or
``spacecraft,'' whether real or simulated, when limited to
information about the health, operational status, or measurements or
function of, or raw sensor output from, the ``spacecraft,''
``spacecraft'' payload(s), or its associated subsystems or
components. Such information is not within the scope of information
captured within the definition of ``technology'' in the EAR for
purposes of Category 9 Product Group E. Examples of such
information, which are commonly referred to as ``housekeeping
data,'' include (i) system, hardware, component configuration, and
operation status information pertaining to temperatures, pressures,
power, currents, voltages, and battery charges; (ii) ``spacecraft''
or payload orientation or position information, such as state vector
or ephemeris information; (iii) payload raw mission or science
output, such as images, spectra, particle measurements, or field
measurements; (iv) command responses; (v) accurate timing
information; and (vi) link budget data. The act of processing such
telemetry data--i.e., converting raw data into engineering units or
readable products--or encrypting it does not, in and of itself,
cause the telemetry data to become subject to the ITAR or to ECCN
9E515 for purposes of 9A515, or to ECCNs 9E001 or 9E002 for purposes
of 9A004. All classified technical data directly related to items
controlled in USML Category XV or ECCNs 9A515, and defense services
using the classified technical data remains subject to the ITAR.
This note does not affect controls in USML XV(f), ECCN 9D515, or
ECCN 9E515 on software source code or commands that control a
``spacecraft,'' payload, or associated subsystems for purposes of
9A515. This note also does not affect controls in ECCNs 9D001,
9D002, 9E001, or 9E002 on software source code or commands that
control a ``spacecraft,'' payload, or associated subsystems for
purposes of 9A004.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2015-0921]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone, Great Egg Harbor Bay; Somers Point, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
waters of Great Egg Harbor Bay in the vicinity of the Garden State
Parkway Bridge in Somers Point, NJ. The safety zone will restrict
vessel traffic on a portion of the Great Egg Harbor Bay while critical
girder erection work is being conducted in response to the
rehabilitation project of the main navigational channel section of the
bridge. This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect the
surrounding public and vessels from the hazards associated with the
bridge construction operations.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from October 13,
2015 through December 5, 2015. For purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from October 5, 2015 through October 13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2015-0921 in the ``SEARCH'' box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open
Docket Folder on the line associated with this rule.

COTP Captain of the Port

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 this critical phase of the
rehabilitation work to the Garden State Parkway Bridge, main channel
section, poses a safety threat to maritime traffic and a safety zone is
needed. Furthermore, notification of the proposed work was not received
until September 18, 2015. Due to the need for an immediate response and
the late notification of the work, providing a notice and comment
period would be impractical.
    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 because allowing this
construction to go forward without a safety zone in place would expose
mariners and the public to unnecessary dangers associated with bridge
construction operations and navigation channel closure.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231; 33 CFR 1.05-1 and 160.5; and Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1. The Captain of the Port, Delaware Bay, has
determined that potential hazards associated with bridge construction
operations starting October 5, 2015, will be a safety concern for
anyone within a 200-yard radius of bridge work, vessels, and machinery.
This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone while the
bridge work is being conducted.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from October 5, 2015, through
December 5, 2015, and the zone will be enforced from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
daily, excluding Sundays. The safety zone will cover all navigable
waters within 200 yards of vessels and machinery, at approximate
position, 39[deg]17'32'' N., 074[deg]37'32'' W., being used by
personnel for construction and repair of the Garden State Parkway
Bridge over the Great Egg Harbor Bay in Somers Point, NJ. The duration
of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters while bridge construction
operations are being conducted. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring
within the safety zone is prohibited unless vessels obtain permission
from the Captain of the Port (COTP) or make satisfactory passing
arrangements with the construction vessel per this rule and the Rules
of the Road (33 CFR Subchapter E). During portions of this project the
main navigation channel will be closed each day for vessel traffic from
7 a.m. to 6 p.m., excluding Sundays. These closures are necessary for
safety due to hazards associated with bridge maintenance. Bridge work
will stop and the channel will be clear for vessels to pass under the
bridge between 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday through Saturday; during these
hours when bridge work is stopped, mariners may transit the main
channel without restrictions. In addition, the channel will be fully
available on Sundays and vessels may transit freely. At all times,
secondary bridge spans will be clear to pass; vessels able to pass
under secondary channel spans may do so at any time. There will be
number of working days that the navigation channel will not be
obstructed; however, mariners wishing to transit Monday through
Saturday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. must make passing arrangements with
the on scene construction vessel or obtain permission from the COTP or
his representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we discuss
First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    E.O.s 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.
E.O. 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 E.O. 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. Vessel traffic will be able
to safely transit from the hours of 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., daily, excluding
Sundays. At other times,

vessel master may request permission to transit the safety zone. There
will be number of working days that the navigation channel will not be
obstructed. At all times, secondary bridge spans will be clear to pass;
vessels able to pass under secondary channel spans may do so at any
time without requesting permission. This safety zone will impact a
small designated area of the Great Egg Harbor Bay, in Somers Point, NJ
for no more than an 11 hour period each day.

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 E.O. 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 E.O. 13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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 in force for no more than 11 hours each
day, from October 1, 2015, to December 5, 2015, that prohibits entry
within 200 yards of vessels and machinery being used by personnel
conducting bridge work on the Garden State Parkway Bridge over the
Great Egg Harbor Bay, in Somers Point, NJ. 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.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

Information Collection Request

    Title: State Access to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for
Removal Costs under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0068.
    Summary: This information collection is the mechanism for a
Governor, or their designated representative, of a state to make a
request for payment from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) in
an amount not to exceed $250,000 for removal cost consistent with the
National Contingency Plan required for the immediate removal of a
discharge, or the mitigation or prevention of a substantial threat of
discharge, of oil.
    Need: This information collection is required by, 33 CFR part 133,
for implementing 33 U.S.C. 2712(d)(1) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990
(OPA 90). The information provided by the State to the National
Pollution Fund Center (NPFC)is used to determine whether expenditures
submitted by the state to the OSLTF are compensable, and, where
compensable, to ensure the correct amount of reimbursement is made by
the OSLTF to the state. If the information is not collected, the Coast
Guard and the National Pollution Funds Center will be unable to justify
the resulting expenditures, and thus be unable to recover costs from
the parties responsible for the spill when they can be identified.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Governor of a state or their designated
representative.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden of 3 hours a year
remains unchanged.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.

    Dated: January 11, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed information collection changes
in Docket No. RD14-12-000 relate to the proposed Reliability Standards
FAC-001-2 (Facility Interconnection Requirements) and FAC-002-2
(Facility Interconnection Studies), developed by the North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and submitted to the
Commission for approval. The Commission received NERC's petition to
approve the proposed Reliability Standards on August 22, 2014.
    NERC summarizes the FAC group of standards as follows:

    The Facility Design, Connections, and Maintenance (``FAC'')
Reliability Standards address topics such as facility
interconnection requirements, facility ratings, system operating
limits, and transfer capabilities.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ NERC Petition at 3.

    In its petition, NERC also summarizes the proposed Reliability
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standards' applicability and requirements:

    Proposed Reliability Standard FAC-001-2 requires that
Transmission Owners and applicable Generator Owners document and
make Facility interconnection requirements available so that
entities seeking to interconnect have the necessary information.
Proposed Reliability Standard FAC-002-2 ensures that the reliability
impact of interconnecting new or materially modified Facilities is
studied. Collectively, proposed Reliability Standards FAC-001-2 and
FAC-002-2 ensure that there is appropriate coordination and
communication regarding the interconnection of Facilities, which
improves the reliability of the Bulk-Power System.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Id. at 3.

    Finally, NERC also states that the proposed Reliability Standards
improve reliability, clarify requirement language and eliminate
redundant or unnecessary requirements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Id. at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Burden Statement: Commission staff analyzed the proposed and
currently enforced Reliability Standards and has concluded that
proposed Reliability Standards merely clarify or eliminate redundancies
and thus, the information collection requirements have not changed.
Accordingly, the net overall burden and respondent universe \4\ remain
unchanged, when compared to the burden of the existing standards being
replaced.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The affected entities for FAC-001-2 are Transmission Owners
(TO) and applicable Generator Owners (GO). The affected entities for
FAC-002-2 are Transmission Planners (TP), Planning Coordinators
(PC), Generator Owners (GO), Transmission Owners (TO), Distribution
Providers (DP), and Load-Serving Entities (LSE). Note that Planning
Coordinator (PC) is the new name for Planning Authority--a term
still used in NERC's Compliance Registry.
    \5\ The burden for the preceding versions of the standards being
replaced was included in: (a) FERC-725M (OMB Control No. 1902-0263)
for FAC-001-1, and (b) FERC-725A (OMB Control No. 1902-0244) for
FAC-002-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission intends to submit a request for approval to OMB
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) related to the proposed
Reliability Standards. For PRA purposes, the information collection
requirements in proposed Reliability Standards FAC-001-2 and FAC-002-2
are identified as FERC-725D and OMB Control Number 1902-0247.
    The annual reporting burden for the implementation of Reliability
Standards FAC-001-2 and FAC-002-2 is estimated as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The number of respondents is based on the NERC Compliance
Registry as of September 24, 2014. Although 2,163 entities are
registered as TO, DP, LSE, or GO, we expect at the most 216 entities
(ten percent) will seek to interconnect and go through the study
phase that may require coordination in any given year.
    \7\ The estimates for cost per hour are derived as follows:
     $72.92/hour, the average of the salary plus benefits
for a manager ($84.96/hour) and an electrical engineer ($60.87/
hour), from Bureau of Labor and Statistics at http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm, as of 9/4/2014
     $29.01/hour, based on a Commission staff study of
record retention burden cost.
