SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
     Rule 11a-2, SEC File No. 270-267, OMB Control No. 3235-0272

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 11a-2 (17 CFR 270.11a-2) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) permits certain registered insurance
company separate accounts, subject to certain conditions, to make
exchange offers without prior approval by the Commission of the terms
of those offers. Rule 11a-2 requires disclosure, in certain
registration statements filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933
(15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) of any administrative fee or sales load imposed
in connection with an exchange offer.
    There are currently 673 registrants governed by Rule 11a-2. The
Commission includes the estimated burden of complying with the
information collection required by Rule 11a-2 in the total number of
burden hours estimated for completing the relevant registration
statements and reports the burden of Rule 11a-2 in the separate
Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA'') submissions for those

registration statements (see the separate PRA submissions for Form N-3
(17 CFR 274.11b), Form N-4 (17 CFR 274.11c) and Form N-6 (17 CFR
274.11d). The Commission is requesting a burden of one hour for Rule
11a-2 for administrative purposes.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the PRA, and is not derived from a comprehensive or even a
representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules or
forms. With regard to Rule 11a-2, the Commission includes the estimate
of burden hours in the total number of burden hours estimated for
completing the relevant registration statements and reported on the
separate PRA submissions for those statements (see the separate PRA
submissions for Form N-3, Form N-4 and Form N-6). The information
collection requirements imposed by Rule 11a-2 are mandatory. Responses
to the collection of information will not be kept confidential.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549; or send an email
to: [email protected].

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0554; Product Identifier 2016-SW-088-AD; Amendment
39-21245; AD 2020-19-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Leonardo S.p.a. (Leonardo) Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters. This AD
requires removing certain main gearbox (MGB) input modules from
service. This AD was prompted by the discovery that a batch of duplex
bearings, which are installed on the MGB input modules, are defective.
The actions of this AD are intended to address an unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective October 15, 2020.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Leonardo Model AB139
and AW139 helicopters with certain serial-numbered MGB input modules
part number (P/N) 3K6320A00135 or P/N 3K6320A00136 installed. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on June 8, 2020 (85 FR 35018). The
NPRM proposed to require removing the affected MGB input modules from
service and prohibit installing the affected MGB input modules. The
proposed requirements were intended to address defective duplex
bearings on MGB input modules, which could result in damage including
corrosion and cracking, which could result in excessive heat of the
input module duplex ball bearing inner race and subsequent loss of
engine power and loss of helicopter control.
    The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD No. 2016-0255R1, dated January 17,
2017 (EASA AD 2016-0255R1), issued by EASA, which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe
condition for Leonardo (formerly Finmeccanica S.p.A., AgustaWestland
Philadelphia Corporation, Agusta Aerospace Corporation) Model AB139 and
AW139 helicopters with certain serial-numbered MGB input modules P/N
3K6320A00135 or P/N 3K6320A00136 installed. EASA advises that the
supplier of a batch of duplex bearings installed on MGB input modules
reported that the bearings were defective, due to a quality control
issue. This condition, if not detected or corrected, could lead to
damage of the input module duplex ball bearing inner race, possibly
resulting in loss of engine power and reduced control of the
helicopter. Accordingly, EASA AD 2016-0255R1 requires removing the
affected MGB input modules from service.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received one comment in support of
the NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is issuing this AD after
evaluating all known relevant information and determining that an
unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of
the same type designs.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires returning affected parts and sending
information to Leonardo; however, this AD does not.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Leonardo Helicopters Bollettino Tecnico No. 139-
303, dated September 20, 2016, which specifies replacing certain duplex
bearings on MGB left-hand and right-hand input modules on Model AB139
and AW139 helicopters.

 Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 71 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. The FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85
per work-hour.
    Replacing one input module takes about 60 work-hours and parts cost
about $84,847 for an estimated cost of $89,947 per input module.
Replacing two input modules takes about 100 work-hours and parts cost
about $169,694 for an estimated cost of $178,194 per two input modules.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[Release No. 34-66227; File No. SR-EDGA-2012-01]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGA Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
EDGA Rule 11.14 To Extend the Operation of the Single Stock Circuit
Breaker Pilot Program Until July 31, 2012

 January 24, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on January 11, 2012, the EDGA Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``EDGA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend EDGA Rule 11.14 to extend the
operation of the single stock circuit breaker pilot program (the
``Pilot'') pursuant to the Rule until July 31, 2012. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at
www.directedge.com, at the Exchange's principal office, and at the
Public Reference Room of the Commission.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend EDGA Rule 11.14 to extend the
operation of a Pilot that allows the Exchange to provide for uniform
market-wide trading pause standards for NMS stocks through July 31,
2012.
Background
    Pursuant to Rule 11.14, the Exchange is allowed to pause trading in
any NMS stock when the primary listing market for such stock issues a
trading pause in such NMS stock. The Exchange will pause trading in
such security until trading has resumed on the primary listing market.
    EDGA Rule 11.14 was approved by the Commission on June 10, 2010 on
a Pilot basis to end on December 10, 2010.\3\ The Pilot was
subsequently extended until April 11, 2011.\4\ The Pilot was then
further extended through the earlier of August 11, 2011 or the date on
which a limit up/limit down mechanism to address extraordinary market
volatility, if adopted, applies.\5\ The Pilot was then extended through
January 31, 2012.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62252 (June 10,
2010) (SR-EDGA-2010-01), 75 FR 34186 (June 16, 2010).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63514 (December 9,
2010) (SR-EDGA-2010-23), 75 FR 78783 (December 16, 2010).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64204 (April 6,
2011) (SR-EDGA-2011-11), 76 FR 20394 (April 12, 2011).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65091 (August 10,
2011) (SR-EDGA-2011-24), 76 FR 50788 (August 16, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its initial filing to adopt EDGA Rule 11.14, the Exchange stated
that the original Pilot list of securities was all securities included
in the S&P 500[supreg] Index (``S&P 500''). The Exchange also noted in
that filing that it would continue to assess whether additional
securities needed to be added or removed from the Pilot list and
whether the parameters of the rule needed to be modified to accommodate
trading characteristics of different securities. As noted in comment
letters to the initial filing to adopt EDGA Rule 11.14, concerns were
raised that including only securities in the S&P 500 in the Pilot rule
was too narrow. In particular, commenters noted that securities that
experienced volatility on May 6, 2010, including ETFs, should be
included in the Pilot.
    In response to these concerns, various exchanges and national
securities associations collectively determined to expand the list of
Pilot securities to include securities in the Russell 1000 and
specified ETPs to the Pilot beginning in September 2010.\7\ The
Exchange believed that adding these securities would address concerns
that the scope of the Pilot may be too narrow, while at the same time
recognizing that during the Pilot period, the markets would continue to
review whether and when to add additional securities to the Pilot and
whether the parameters of the rule should be adjusted for different
securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62884 (September 10,
2010) (SR-EDGA-2010-05), 75 FR 56618 (September 16, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of consulting with other markets and the staff of the
Commission, the Exchange subsequently included all NMS stocks within
the Pilot that were not already included therein.\8\ In particular, the

additional stocks were those not included in the S&P 500, Russell 1000
Index, or specified ETPs, and therefore were more likely to be less
liquid securities or securities with lower trading volumes. The
Exchange stated that it would continue to assess whether the parameters
for invoking a trading pause continued to be appropriate and whether
the parameters should be modified.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64375 (June 23,
2011) (SR-EDGA-2011-15), 76 FR 38243 (June 29, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that an extension of the Pilot through July
31, 2012 would continue to promote uniformity regarding decisions to
pause trading and continue to reduce the negative impacts of sudden,
unanticipated price movements in NMS stocks. The Exchange believes that
the Pilot is working well, that it has been infrequently invoked during
the prior months, and that the Exchange will further assess the effect
of the Pilot on the market or whether other initiatives should be
adopted in lieu of the current Pilot. Therefore, the Exchange requests
an extension of the Pilot through July 31, 2012.
2. Statutory Basis
    The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\9\ which requires the rules of an exchange to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The
proposed rule change also is designed to support the principles of
Section 11A(a)(1) \10\ of the Act in that it seeks to assure fair
competition among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets. The
Exchange believes that the proposed rule meets these requirements in
that it promotes uniformity across markets concerning decisions to
pause trading in a security when there are significant price movements.
The Exchange believes that the Pilot is working well, that it has been
infrequently invoked during the previous months, and that the extension
of the Pilot will allow the Exchange to further assess the effect of
the Pilot on the market or whether other initiatives should be adopted
in lieu of the current Pilot.

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\14\

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \15\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \16\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, as
it will allow the pilot program to continue uninterrupted, thereby
avoiding the investor confusion that could result from a temporary
interruption in the pilot program. For this reason, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

zone regulation for the annual movement of the historic sloop-of-war
USS CONSTELLATION. This regulation applies to a recurring event that
takes place in Baltimore, MD. The safety zone regulation is necessary
to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the event.
This action is intended to restrict vessel traffic in portions of the
Patapsco River, Northwest Harbor and Inner Harbor during the event.

DATES: This rule is effective April 4, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On January 9, 2013, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Safety Zone, Change to Enforcement Period, Patapsco
River, Northwest and Inner Harbors; Baltimore, MD'' in the Federal
Register (78 FR 1795). We received no comments on the proposed rule. No
public meeting was requested, and none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    Historic Ships in Baltimore is planning to conduct its ``turn-
around'' ceremony involving the sloop-of-war USS CONSTELLATION in
Baltimore, Maryland on the Thursday before Memorial Day (observed).
Planned events include a three-hour, round-trip tow of the USS
CONSTELLATION in the Port of Baltimore, consisting of an onboard salute
with navy pattern cannon while the historic vessel is positioned off
the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Site. Beginning at 3
p.m., the historic Sloop-of-War USS CONSTELLATION will be towed ``dead
ship,'' which means that the vessel will be underway without the
benefit of mechanical or sail propulsion. The return dead ship tow of
the USS CONSTELLATION to its berth in the Inner Harbor is expected to
occur immediately upon execution of a tug-assisted ``turn-around'' of
the USS CONSTELLATION on the Patapsco River near Fort McHenry. The
Coast Guard anticipates a large recreational boating fleet during this
event, scheduled on a late Thursday afternoon before the Memorial Day
Holiday weekend in Baltimore, Maryland. Operators should expect
significant vessel congestion along the planned route. In the event of
inclement weather, the ``turn-around'' will be rescheduled for the
Thursday following Memorial Day (observed).
    To address safety concerns during the event, the Captain of the
Port Baltimore is changing the enforcement period of a safety zone
regulation for the annual movement of the historic sloop-of-war USS
CONSTELLATION, conducted upon certain waters of the Patapsco River,
Northwest Harbor and Inner Harbor. The change to the enforcement period
of the safety zone will help the Coast Guard provide a clear transit
route for the participating vessels, and provide a safety buffer around
the participating vessels while they are in transit. This rule is
needed to ensure safety on the waterway in the Port of Baltimore
before, during and after the scheduled event.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard received no comments in response to the NPRM. No
public meeting was requested and none was held.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. Although this safety
zone restricts vessel traffic through the affected area, the effect of
this regulation will not be significant due to the limited size and
duration that the regulated area will be in effect. In addition,
notifications will be made to the maritime community via marine
information broadcasts so mariners may adjust their plans accordingly.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. This rule would affect the
following entities, some of which might be small entities: the owners
or operators of vessels intending to operate or transit through or
within the safety zone during the enforcement period. Before the
effective period, maritime advisories will be widely available to the
maritime community.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    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,
above.
    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.

4. 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).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

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

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have 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 establishing a safety zone. This rule
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.

[Docket No. USCG-2010-1043]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Bridge Demolition; Illinois River, Seneca, IL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
Illinois River near Seneca, Illinois. This zone is intended to restrict
vessels from a portion of the Illinois River due to the demolition of
the Seneca Highway Bridge. This temporary safety zone is necessary to
protect the surrounding public and vessels from the hazards associated
with the demolition of the Seneca Highway Bridge.

DATES: This rule is effective in the CFR on November 30, 2010 through 6
a.m. on December 11, 2010. This rule is effective with actual notice
for purposes of enforcement on 6 a.m. on November 18, 2010 through 6
a.m. on November 19, 2010. This rule will be enforced again from 6 a.m.
on December 2, 2010 through 6 a.m. on December 11, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when an agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 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 it is impracticable as the final
details for this demolition were not received by the Coast Guard until
November 9, 2010. Furthermore, the Coast Guard has reached out to
potentially affected waterway users and has determined that potential
impacts as a result of this safety zone will be minimal. Given the
short time frame, low impact of the zone, and hazards associated with a
bridge demolition, delaying the enactment of this rule would be
contrary to the public interest.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. A 30 day notice period is
impracticable given the short time frame for enacting this regulation.
Given the hazards created by a bridge demolition, delaying the
effective date of this rule would be contrary to the public interest.

Background and Purpose

    This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect vessels from the
hazards associated with the demolition of the Seneca Highway Bridge.
The detonation of explosives and the falling debris associated with the
demolition of this bridge pose serious risks of injury to persons and
property. As such, the Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, has
determined that the demolition of the Seneca Highway Bridge does pose
significant risks to public safety and property and that a safety zone
is necessary.

Discussion of Rule

    The safety zone will encompass all U.S. navigable waters of the
Illinois River in the vicinity of Seneca Highway Bridge between Mile
Marker 252.5 and Mile Marker 253.0 of the Illinois River in Seneca, IL.
[DATUM: NAD 83].
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her
on-scene representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within
the safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port, Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her on-scene representative. The
Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her on-

scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    This determination is based on the minimal time that vessels will
be restricted from the zone and the zone is an area where the Coast
Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners from the zones'
activation.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule will have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor on a portion of the Illinois River between 6 a.m. on
November 18, 2010 through 6 a.m. on November 19, 2010 and again from 6
a.m. on December 2, 2010 through 6 a.m. on December 11, 2010.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will only be enforced while unsafe conditions exist. Vessel
traffic will be minimal due to the time of year that this closure will
occur and because the location of the safety zone is in an area that
typically does not experience high volumes of vessel traffic. Several
commercial traffic entities have already been contacted concerning this
closure and have confirmed that it will not affect them in a negative
way.
    In the event that this temporary safety zone affects shipping,
commercial vessels may request permission from the Captain of The Port,
Sector Lake Michigan, or his or her on scene representative to transit
through the safety zone. The Coast Guard will give notice to the public
via a Broadcast to Mariners that the regulation is in effect.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they could better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. Small
businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who
enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and
the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman
evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness
to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of
the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard
will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

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

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

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

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not concern an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are

technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance,
design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related
management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule involves the establishment of a
safety zone and is therefore categorically excluded under paragraph
34(g) of the Instruction.
    A final environmental analysis check list and categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
