Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0490; Airspace Docket No. 11-AWP-5]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Tonopah, NV

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Tonopah, NV, to
accommodate aircraft using new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global
Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at
Tonopah Airport, NV. This action also makes a minor adjustment to the
geographic coordinates of the airport, and corrects geographic
coordinates in the regulatory text. This rule improves the safety and
management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, December 15, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 8, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice
of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at Tonopah, NV (76
FR 40295). Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No

comments were received. Subsequent to publication, the FAAs
Aeronautical Products office made further adjustments to the geographic
coordinates listed in the regulatory text, and these are included in
this rulemaking.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and
effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by modifying Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Tonopah Airport,
Tonopah, NV, to accommodate IFR aircraft executing new RNAV (GPS)
standard instrument approach procedures at the airport. Also, the
geographic coordinates of the airport are updated to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database. Additionally, the latitude and longitude
coordinates in the text of Class E airspace listed under paragraph 6005
are adjusted to be in concert with the FAA's aeronautical database.
This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR
operations. With the exception of editorial changes and the changes
noted above, this rule is the same as that proposed in the notice of
proposed rulemaking July 8, 2011.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S.
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it creates
additional controlled airspace at Tonopah Airport, Tonopah, NV.

some clarifications and questions RE: Concerns Regarding EPA's June 28, 2022 Coke Ovens Section 114 Information Collection Requests - Enclosure 2 Detailed Stack Test Problems

Ms. Harden, et al.: Thank you for sending me your comments and concerns on the upcoming Coke RTR 114 information requests. I am including all my notes and comments here for all COETF members as well as those specific to your company.

A few items to note:
-- Note, I sent a fugitive test data answer file with the emails to Cleveland Cliffs and U.S. Steel. Please confirm receipt or I can resend those emails. From the comments made by Trinity, I surmised there is some confusion about how to submit these data.
-- Note, we are not requiring testing of the flare flame zone nor requiring testing if no test ports are already installed at the flares. We would want COG analyses that represent COG upstream of the flares, if available.
--Note, the 85-day deadline is to tell us when the stack tests are happening and is not the deadline for the test results.
--Note, we can find no reference in the 114 for the stack tests to be performed concurrent with the fugitive sampling. If it is there, this is an error because we don't need these tests to be concurrent.

A few questions based on your emails and documents:
-- US Steel: What previous tests/methods/sources to submit, how old?
-- DTE/EES: For "existing" clean/processed COG analyses offered in lieu of flare testing (by EES), what does "existing" mean? Where is the clean/processed COG sample taken in terms of the batteries and CBRP? Where in the sample train is the COG sampled? Would these samples be considered representative of what is sent to flares?

--COETF: What "EPA ambient data at fenceline" is available? What is the location (facility name, location of test monitors), dates of sampling, which EPA office/contact name performed or requested ambient testing?
--COETF: What specific batteries (by name/number) have anticipated problems with testing bench&yard with method 303 for CCliffs Burns Harbor and US Steel only.
--COETF: Which states and what are the permit requirements for power installation (prior to installation of generators, including small, temporary units) at the three COETF facilities required in the coke 114 to perform fenceline monitoring (CCliffs Burns Harbor, DTE/EES, US Steel)
--COETF: How often are emergency flares used (what is the range in current COETF facilities), i.e., daily/weekly/monthly/ every 3,6,9 months/annually?

Looking forward to talking with everyone next week.

Dear Mr French and Dr. Jones:

On June 29, 2022, DTE Vantage (DTE) received Section 114 of the Clean Air Act Information Collection Request (ICR) in relation to development of Risk and Technology Review of Coke Oven Facilities related to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC, Pushing Quenching and Battery Stacks. The ICR also included risk and technology review, testing, interior and fenceline monitoring, and other information collection activities related to potential new regulations for coke byproduct recovery plants (CBRP) in relation to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart L, Coke Oven Batteries. DTE owns and operates EES Coke Battery, L.L.C. (EES Coke) located in River Rouge, MI.

Attached is the letter of concern by EES Coke's affiliated industry group, American Coke and Coal Chemicals Institute (ACCCI). ACCCI has a subgroup of the Coke Oven Emission Task Force which is a group of member companies previously formed in 1996 to address major environmental issues collaboratively facing the US coke byproduct recovery industry. EES Coke is a member of the COETF. The COETF engaged Trinity Consultants (Trinity) to assist the COETF in assessing concerns with the ICRs. The enclosed August 2, 2022 letter reflects the industry's concerns regarding the ICR, including the detailed explanation of stack testing problems as required by the first task due within 35 days of the submission (August 3, 2022.) EES Coke has supplied an additional cover letter to emphasis points associated with this site. In addition, a hard copy will be submitted to Dr. Jones certified mail.

regulations.gov or email. If your nomination contains any information
that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected, please contact the
DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT to obtain special
instructions before submitting your nomination.
    2. Request for nominations to serve as ad hoc expert reviewers to
assist the SACC. As part of a broader process for developing a pool of
candidates for SACC peer reviews, EPA solicits the public and
stakeholder communities for nominations of prospective candidates for
service as ad hoc reviewers. Any interested person or organization may
nominate qualified individuals to be considered as prospective
candidates. Individuals also may self-nominate.
1. Peer Review Topics Anticipated for Early 2022
    Individuals nominated for the two SACC reviews anticipated for
early 2022 should have expertise in one or more of the following areas:
     Systematic review: Individuals nominated for peer review
of the draft systematic review protocol should have expertise in one or
more of the following areas: Systematic review approaches of human
health and ecological hazard, exposure topics and fate. All experts,
including those representing other fields of interest, who have
experience with engineering, machine learning, artificial intelligence
techniques and natural language processing approaches as applied to
systematic review are also needed. Understanding of the TSCA risk
evaluation process is highly desirable for the context of this peer
review. Familiarity with systematic review tools like DistillerSR
(Systematic Review Software), SWIFT (Sciome Workbench for Interactive
computer-Facilitated Text-mining; SWIFT-Active Screener and SWIFT-
Review), Health and Environmental Research Online (HERO) database and
the Health Assessment Workspace Collaborative (HAWC) is highly
desirable.
     Exposures to fenceline communities: Individuals nominated
for peer review of the draft EPA TSCA Screening Level Approach for
Assessing Ambient Air and Water Exposures to Fenceline Communities
should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: Chemical
fate and transport via ambient air and water pathways; atmospheric
modeling of fate, transport, and human exposures; human health,
exposure and risk assessment for airborne and/or waterborne chemicals;
expertise estimating environmental air releases of chemicals from a
variety of sources and databases such as Chemical Data Reporting;
experience developing air dispersion methodologies and/or models to
estimate ambient air concentrations and impacts to human populations;
expertise estimating environmental water releases of chemicals from a
variety of sources and databases such as Chemical Data Reporting,
Toxics Release Inventory, Discharge Monitoring Report; experience
developing methodologies and/or models to estimate chemical
concentrations in ambient/source/drinking water and impacts to human
populations; and public health protection for at-risk communities.
2. Nominations
    Nominees should be scientists who have sufficient professional
qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of
providing expert comments on the scientific issues for these reviews.
The following information should be included for nominations: Contact
information for the person making the nomination; name, affiliation,
and contact information for the nominee; and the disciplinary and
specific areas of expertise of the nominee. Nominations should be
provided to the DFOs listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or
before the date listed in the DATES section of this notice.
    SACC members and ad hoc reviewers are subject to the provisions of
the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch
at 5 CFR part 2635, conflict of interest statutes in Title 18 of the
United States Code and related regulations. In anticipation of this
requirement, prospective candidates for service on the SACC will be
asked to submit confidential financial information which shall fully
disclose, among other financial interests, the candidate's employment,
stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support.
EPA will evaluate the candidates' financial disclosure forms to assess
whether there are financial conflicts of interest, appearance of a loss
of impartiality, or any prior involvement with the development of the
documents under consideration (including previous scientific peer
review) before the candidate is considered further for service on the
SACC. Those who are selected from the pool of prospective candidates
will be asked to attend the public meetings and to participate in the
discussion of key issues and

assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be asked to
review and to help finalize the meeting minutes.
3. Selection of Ad Hoc Reviewers
    The selection of scientists to serve as ad hoc reviewers for the
SACC is based on the function of the Committee and the expertise needed
to address the Agency's charge to the Committee. No interested
scientists shall be ineligible to serve by reason of their membership
on any other advisory committee to a Federal department or agency or
their employment by a Federal department or agency, except EPA. Other
factors considered during the selection process include availability of
the prospective candidate to fully participate in the Committee's
reviews, absence of any conflicts of interest or appearance of loss of
impartiality, independence with respect to the matters under review,
and lack of bias. Although financial conflicts of interest, the
appearance of loss of impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may
result in non-selection, the absence of such concerns does not assure
that a candidate will be selected to serve on the SACC. Numerous
qualified candidates are identified for each review. Therefore,
selection decisions involve carefully weighing a number of factors
including the candidates' areas of expertise and professional
qualifications and achieving an overall balance of different scientific
perspectives across reviewers.
    At this time, EPA is seeking nominations to create a pool of ad hoc
experts who can be available to the SACC to assist in reviews conducted
by the Committee. EPA anticipates selecting experts from this pool, as
needed, to assist the SACC in their review of both designated topics.
The Agency will consider all nominations of prospective candidates for
service as ad hoc reviewers for the SACC that are received on or before
that date. However, final selection of ad hoc reviewers is a
discretionary function of the Agency.
    EPA plans to make a list of candidates under consideration as
prospective ad hoc reviewers for these reviews available for public
comment. The lists will be posted on the SACC website at http://www.epa.gov/tsca-peer-review or may be obtained from the OPPT Dockets
at http://www.regulations.gov.

II. Background

A. Purpose of the SACC

    The SACC was established by EPA in 2016 under the authority of the
Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, Public
Law 114-182, 140 Stat. 448 (2016), and operates in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972. The SACC supports
activities under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C.
2601 et seq., the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), 42 U.S.C. 13101 et
seq., and other applicable statutes. The SACC provides independent
scientific advice and recommendations to the EPA on the scientific and
technical aspects of risk assessments, methodologies, and pollution
prevention measures and approaches for chemicals regulated under TSCA.
    The SACC is comprised of experts in toxicology; environmental risk
assessment; exposure assessment; and related sciences (e.g., synthetic
biology, pharmacology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, biochemistry,
biostatistics, physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling (PBPK),
computational toxicology, epidemiology, environmental fate, and
environmental engineering and sustainability). The SACC currently
consists of 17 members. When needed, the committee will be assisted by
ad hoc reviewers with specific expertise in the topics under
consideration.

B. Background for Each Area of Review

1. Systematic Review
    The draft TSCA Systematic Review Protocol includes a revised
generic approach for TSCA-related approaches taking into account
previous peer review comments from SACC reviews of risk evaluations on
the first 10 chemical assessments and more recent recommendations from
the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM)
review of the Application of Systematic Review in TSCA Risk
Evaluations. In addition to the revised generic approach, this peer
review package will include appendices containing chemical specific
information that is relevant for searching, screening, data evaluation
and evidence integration for the next chemical risk evaluations being
conducted by OPPT.
2. Exposure to Fenceline Communities
    The draft EPA TSCA Screening Level Approach for Assessing Ambient
Air and Water Exposures to Fenceline Communities will be developed as a
path forward decision to address potential air and water exposures to
fenceline communities which may be excluded from other Agency statutes.
EPA will use this screening level approach to reassess seven of the
first ten TSCA chemical risk evaluations for the air pathway and five
of the first ten TSCA chemical risk evaluations for the water pathway
to determine if there is a potential for unreasonable risk to these
communities. The methodology will be assessed for air exposure on the
following chemicals: 1-bromopropane, methylene chloride, N-
methylpyrrolidone, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene,
perchloroethylene, and 1, 4-dioxane and water exposure for the
following chemicals: Methylene chloride, N-methylpyrrolidone, carbon
tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene. If the agency
finds unreasonable risk that cannot be addressed through current risk

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1669]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The LOMR will be used
by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.
For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is shown
in the table below and must be used for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report

in effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0937]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Belt Parkway Bridge Construction, Gerritsen Inlet;
Brooklyn, NY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary interim rule and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
navigable waters of Gerritsen Inlet surrounding the Belt Parkway
Bridge. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on
these navigable waters in Brooklyn, NY, during bridge replacement
operations, both planned and unforeseen, until the new bridge is built
and the existing bridge is removed. This regulation prohibits persons
and vessels from being in the safety zone unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port New York or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from October 3,
2017 through December 31, 2018. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2017 through October
3, 2017.
    Comments and related material may be received by the Coast Guard
during the effective period.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2017-0937 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion for further instructions on submitting comments.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    In a letter received by the Coast Guard on May 16, 2013 NYC DOT and
their contractors outlined the first five phases of operations that
require in-channel work in the construction and demolition of the Belt
Parkway Bridge. On November 29, 2013, the Coast Guard published a NPRM
titled ``Safety Zone; Belt Parkway Bridge Construction, Gerritsen
Inlet, Brooklyn, NY'' (78 FR 71546). There we stated why we issued the
NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to
this bridge construction. During the comment period that ended December
20, 2013, we received no comments.
    On May 12, 2014, the Coast Guard published a TIR and request for
comments titled ``Safety Zone; Belt Parkway Bridge Construction,
Gerritsen Inlet, Brooklyn, NY'' (79 FR 26848). During the comment
period that ended June 2, 2014, we received no comments.
    On July 25, 2014 the Coast Guard published a correcting amendment
titled ``Safety Zone; Belt Parkway Bridge Construction, Gerritsen
Inlet, Brooklyn, NY'' (79 FR 43255). There we corrected an inadvertent
error included in one of the coordinates of the safety zone.
    The NYC DOT has requested the USCG safety zone and the USCG bridge
permit be extended until June 30, 2018, to complete all remaining
contract operations in and over the channel, including, but not limited
to, substructure concrete placements, steel erection, concrete bridge
deck placements, installation of navigation lighting, channel clean up
and final fathometric surveying. The Coast Guard is issuing this TIR
with an effective date through December 31, 2018 in case of additional
project delays due to unforeseen circumstances.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary interim 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), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of
proposed rulemaking with respect to this rule because it is
impracticable as it is necessary to protect the safety of both the
construction crew and the waterway users operating in the vicinity of
the bridge construction zone. A delay or cancellation of the currently
ongoing bridge rehabilitation project in order to accommodate a full
notice and comment period would delay necessary operations, result in
increased costs, and delay the date when the bridge is expected to
reopen for normal operations.
    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. It would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest to delay promulgating this rule, for
the reasons stated above. The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone
described in this rule to all vessel traffic during circumstances that
pose an imminent threat to waterway users operating in the area. The
Coast Guard will provide as much advanced notice as possible prior to
enforcement.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with
the construction of the Belt Parkway replacement bridge over Gerritsen
Inlet will be a safety concern for anyone within approximately 300 feet
of the existing bridge. This rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the
safety zone during bridge construction.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published
November 29, 2013 or on our TIR published May 12, 2014. There are no
changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule in
the NPRM or in the previous TIR except for the effective period.
    This rule establishes a safety zone from 12:01 a.m. on October 1,
2017 through December 31, 2018. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters within approximately 300 feet of the existing Belt
Parkway Bridge over Gerritsen Inlet. The duration of the zone is
intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters
during bridge construction. No vessel or person will be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a
designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has not been designated
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget, and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements
of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the fact that
vessel traffic will only be restricted from this safety zone for
limited durations and the safety zone covers only a small portion of
the navigable waterway. The Coast Guard will notify the public whenever
the safety zone is being enforced and whenever enforcement is suspended
through Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16,
First Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners at https://www.navcen.uscg.gov, Marine Safety Information Bulletins, or other
appropriate means. The rule also allows people to seek permission to
enter the zone. Additionally, NYC DOT has a Community Liaison for this
project that also communicates with upstream mariners regarding the
bridge project and channel status.

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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A. above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

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 usually enforced for less than 1 hour that
will prohibit entry within approximately 300 feet of the existing Belt
Parkway Bridge over Gerritsen Inlet. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of

Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
