33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2022-0215]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone for Pollution Responders; Neva Strait, Sitka, AK

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters within a 100-yard radius of oil spill recovery vessels
in Neva Strait. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by
pollution response efforts. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone
is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port
Southeast Alaska.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from March 25, 2022
twenty-four hours per day until 6 p.m. on March 27, 2022. For the
purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from noon on March
21, 2022 until March 25, 2022.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2022-0215 in the search box and click ``Search.'' Next, in the Document
Type column, select ``Supporting & Related Material.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because a vessel ran aground, causing a
significant oil spill, and immediate action is needed to respond to the
potential safety hazards associated with pollution response efforts. It
is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must establish this
safety zone by March 21, 2022.
    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. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with pollution
response efforts in Neva Strait.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Southeast
Alaska (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with
pollution response efforts starting March 21, 2021, will be a safety
concern for anyone within a 100-yard radius of oil spill recovery
vessels in Neva Strait. This rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the
safety zone for the duration of pollution response efforts.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone effective twenty-four hours per
day until 6 p.m. on March 27, 2022. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters within 100 yards of vessels and machinery being used
by personnel to respond to a significant oil spill. The duration of the
zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters for the duration of pollution
response efforts. 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. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be able to safely transit through the safety zone which would
impact a small designated area of Neva Strait. Moreover, the Coast
Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine
channel 16 about the zone, and the rule would allow vessel to seek
permission to enter the zone.

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
call or email 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.

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
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have 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 lasting twenty-four hours per day that will prohibit entry
within 100 yards of vessels and machinery being used by personnel to
respond to a significant oil spill. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(c) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email 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.

<I. Montana Microbial Products  Petition Summary>

	[8G7320]

<A. Product Name and Proposed Use Practices>

<Product Name: Bacillus mycoides isolate J.  End product formulation:
BmJ WP.

This petition requests a temporary exemption from residue tolerances for
a  three year experimental program of evaluating BmJ WP as a microbial
disease control agent in pecans, potatoes, sugar beets tomatoes and
peppers.

>

<B. Product Identity/Chemistry>

<	1. Identity of the pesticide and corresponding residues.

>

Name:

Bacillus mycoides isolate J.  The end product formulation, BmJ WP, is a
wettable powder containing spores as the active ingredient.  Residue
from application will be spores.

The “J” strain of B, mycoides was isolated from sugar beets in
Montana USA and identified as B mycoides by morphology and DNA sequence
analysis. B. Mycoides is a ubiquitous soil organism.  B. mycoides is one
of the six species of bacilli that comprise the B. cereus group; the
others are B. cereus, B. anthracis, B. thuringiensis, B. pseudomycoides,
and B. weihenstephanensis.  DNA sequence matching techniques clearly
differentiate between species in the B. cereus group and clearly
distinguish B. mycoides as a separate species, genetically distinct from
the other species in the group.  The study submitted (MRID 46632905) in
the supporting data for the EUP submission, “Use of RAPD Analysis to
Uniquely Identify Bacillus mycoides isolates”, clearly identifies the
J isolate as B. mycoides and distinguishes the “J” isolate from
other isolates in the B. mycoides species.

<	2. Magnitude of residues at the time of harvest and method used to
determine the residue.  MMP does not expect a significant level
magnitude of BmJ spores to persist in treated foliage.  Persistence
studies of applied BmJ spores show a rapid decline in spore recovery
from treated sugar beet foliage over a two-week period.  Samples taken
immediately after spray application of BmJ showed 106 spores per square
centimeter of sugar beet leaf surface.  Samples taken at 14 days after
application showed spores levels had declined to between 100 and 1000
spores per square centimeter of leaf surface. Given the ubiquitous
natural occurrence of B. mycoides in soil the application of BmJ in the
experimental program would have little effect on the total level of
naturally occurring B. mycoides.

Analytical methods to determine residues of BmJ spores use dilution
plating on selective agar with B. mycoides distinguished by its
distinctive colony morphology.

>

<	3. A statement of why an analytical method of detecting and measuring
the levels of the pesticide residue are not needed.

BmJ spores and vegetative growth would not be expected to carry through
to human consumption in shelling of pecans, harvest of potato tubers or
as as residue in refined sugar or in meat or milk from cattle fed BmJ
treated sugar beet tops. Water washing would also remove spores from
tomatoes and peppers

harvested from treated crops.

>

<C. Mammalian Toxicological Profile>

<An acute pulmonary toxicity pathogenicity study (MRID 44644801) showed
no adverse effects from acute intratracheal exposure to BmJ spores.
Inhalation of spore containing spray mist represents the most likely
route of human exposure to BmJ spores during the experimental program.
B. mycoides occurs naturally and ubiquitously in agricultural soils, so
that there has been long term human exposure to B. mycoides and to any
residual B. mycoides cells or spores in food crops.   Studies submitted
and comprehensive searches of research and medical literature did not
identify: any reference to toxicity or pathogenicity of B. mycoides in
mammals; did not identify any known metabolites of toxicological
significance from B. mycoides fermentation; and did not identify
references to B. mycoides as producing toxins in food stuffs or
implicated in food borne toxicity.

  >

<D. Aggregate Exposure>

<	1. Dietary exposure. MMP does not expect human dietary exposure to BmJ
spores to result from the experimental program.

 >

<	i. Food. The experimental program will include five crops, pecans,
potatoes, sugar beets, tomatoes and peppers.  MMP does not see dietary
exposure resulting from application of BmJ in the experimental program.

In pecans spores applied as foliage spray will also contact nut shell,
however spores would be removed when shells are removed prior to any
human consumption.

In potatoes, spore applied to foliage will not directly contact tubers.
Tubers are exposed to natural soil concentrations of Bacillus that
exceed the quantity of BmJ spores applied to potato foliage.  MMP would
not expect applied BmJ to create a significant residue in potatoes.
Washing pealing and or cooking will remove or destroy any residual
spores.

MMP would not expect any residue of BmJ applied to sugar beet foliage to
carry through sugar beet processing to create a residue in refined sugar
for human consumption.  BmJ application will create minimal residues on
sugar beet foliage.  Cattle fed sugar beet tops treated with BmJ may
have an exposure to a low level of BmJ spores.  Given the natural
occurrence of B. mycoides, MMP does not expect that exposure to applied
BmJ on sugar beet tops would represent a significant increase in natural
exposure of cattle to B. mycoides.  MMP would also not expect any human
exposure to BmJ spores in meat or milk as a result of feeding sugar beet
tops with BmJ residue to cattle.

In tomatoes and peppers, spores applied as foliage sprays may leave a
BmJ spore residue on the tomatoes or peppers.  From persistence studies,
MMP expects BmJ residue to decline by more than 1000 fold over a two
week period.  Washing harvested fruit will also further reduce or
eliminate any BmJ residue. >

<	ii. Drinking water.  The experimental program will not affect drinking
water.  Program design and experimental label prohibit application of
BmJ WP within 100 meters of surface water.  In any inadvertent water
contamination, BmJ spores would be diluted to levels insignificant
compared to natural background levels of B. mycoides. >

<	2. Non-dietary exposure. Non-dietary exposure to BmJ as a result of
the experimental program will be limited to personnel involved in
application and monitoring of the experimental program.    Applicators
following label directions will wear personnel protective clothing
including respiratory protection, limiting non-dietary exposure.   The
experimental program will not apply BmJ near human habitation and MMP
will restrict public access to test sites where BmJ has been applied.
MMP does not expect any non-dietary exposure to the general public. >

<E. Cumulative Effects>

< The experimental program and temporary tolerance exemption is for a
two year period with trials conducted in different crops in widely
separated regions of the country limiting cumulative effects.>

<F. Safety Determination>

<	1. U.S. population. There will be no increased exposure of the US
population as a result of the limited experimental program.  The
available data submitted and published literature do not identify
pathogenicity or toxicity of B. mycoides to mammals.  Application of BmJ
in the experimental program poses minimal safety risk to the US
population.>

<	2. Infants and children. Based on the limited use pattern in the
experimental program and absence of residues in food, MMP does not
expect any exposure infants and children to B. mycoides.  Based on the
toxicity profile, BmJ poses minimal safety risk to infants and children>

<G. Effects on the Immune and Endocrine Systems>

<Exhaustive literature searches did not identify any recorded effect of
B. mycoides on the human immune or endocrine system.  The pulmonary
toxicity, pathogenicity study did not show any adverse immune system
effects.>

<H. Existing Tolerances>

<A temporary exemption from the requirement for tolerances for BmJ had
been previously approved in connection with and Experimental Use Permit,
82761-EUP-1for an experimental program in sugar beets conducted in 2006,
No other tolerances have been established for BmJ.>

<I. International Tolerances>

<No international tolerances have been established for BmJ. >

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH (Eurocopter) Model EC135 P1, P2, P2+, T1,
T2, and T2+ helicopters. This AD requires inspecting each linear
transducer bearing (bearing) for freedom of movement and replacing the
bearing if there is binding or rough turning or if there is chafing or
damage on the lower side of the floor. Also, this AD requires modifying
and re-identifying a certain rod. This AD was prompted by an incident
involving limited control of a tail rotor because of the binding of a
bearing. The actions of this AD are intended to detect and replace each
bearing subject to binding, which could lead to subsequent loss of
control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective December 5, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in this AD as of December 5,
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On May 23, 2013, at 78 FR 30793, the Federal Register published our
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Model EC135 P1, P2, P2+,
T1, T2, and T2+ helicopters, with bearing, part number (P/N)
LN9367GE6N2; rod, P/N L671M5040205; lever, P/N L671M5040101; and floor,
P/N L533M1014101, L533M1014102, L533M1014103, L533M1014104,
L533M1014105 or L533M1014106, installed. The NPRM proposed to require,
at specified intervals, inspecting each bearing for freedom of
movement. The NPRM also proposed, before further flight, if there is
binding or rough turning, replacing the bearing or if there is chafing
or damage on the lower side of the floor, replacing the bearing and
repairing the floor, and, thereafter, installing a Teflon strip. The
NPRM also proposed modifying the rod and re-identifying the rod and
lever with a new part number. The requirements were intended to detect
and replace each bearing subject to binding, which could lead to
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
    The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2006-0318 R1, dated October 27,
2006, issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is
the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, to
correct an unsafe condition for all Eurocopter Model EC 135
helicopters. EASA advises of an incident in which impaired control of
an EC 135 tail rotor was detected. EASA states that according to
examinations, the bearing of the linear transducer was subject to
binding, which limited the control range.

FAA's Determination

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM (78 FR 30793,
May 23, 2013).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with Germany, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
its AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information
provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is
likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these same type
designs and that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD requirements as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    This AD does not refer to the compliance date of October 31, 2006,
because that date has passed; instead we require compliance within 100
hours time-service (TIS). This AD does not require contacting
Eurocopter customer support. This AD requires modifying each rod within
100 hours TIS, rather than within 800 hours TIS as specified in the
EASA AD.

Related Service Information

    Eurocopter has issued Alert Service Bulletin EC135-67A-012,
Revision 1, dated October 18, 2006 (ASB), which specifies inspecting
the bearing of the linear transducer for freedom of movement and the
lower side of the floor for chafing or damage. If there is binding, the
ASB specifies replacing the bearing. If there is chafing or damage on
the floor, the ASB specifies replacing the bearing and repairing the
floor. The ASB also specifies modifying and reidentifying a certain
rod. EASA classified this ASB as mandatory and issued EASA AD 2006-0318
R1, dated October 27, 2006, to ensure the continued airworthiness of
these helicopters.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 214 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in
order to comply with this AD: It will take about 10 work-hours to
inspect the bearing for freedom of movement at an average labor rate of

$85 per work hour. No parts or materials are required for the
inspection. Based on these estimates, the cost will be $850 per
helicopter or $181,900 for the fleet of all U.S.-registered
helicopters. If necessary, replacing the bearing will require 3
additional work-hours, and parts will cost $50. Repairing the floor
will require 3 additional work hours and minimal cost for materials.

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.
    We are 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 helicopters 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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    (4) 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2019-0820]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Ohio River, Owensboro, KY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing a temporary safety zone for all
navigable waters of the Ohio River, extending the entire width of the
river, from mile marker (MM) 756.4 to MM 757.4 in Owensboro, KY. This
safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards created by a fireworks display.
Entry into, transiting through or anchoring within this zone would be
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) or a designated representative. We invite your comments
on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before November 27, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2019-0820 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Petty Officer Riley Jackson, Coast
Guard Sector Ohio Valley, Louisville, KY; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> or
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
MM Mile Marker
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On September 9, 2019, the River View Coal, LLC notified the Coast
Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display from 10 p.m.
through 11 p.m. on January 18, 2020, to celebrate the previous year.
The fireworks are to be launched from a barge in the Ohio River,
between mile marker (MM) 756.4 and MM 757.4 in Owensboro, KY. Hazards
from firework displays include accidental discharge of fireworks,
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris. The
Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be used in this
display would be a safety concern for anyone in the fallout radius.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within the 1-mile stretch of the Ohio River
before, during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard is
proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP is proposing to establish a safety zone from 10 p.m.
through 11 p.m. on January 18, 2020. The safety zone would cover the
entire width of the Ohio River from Mile Marker (MM) 756.4 to MM 757.4
in Owensboro, KY. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the
safety of vessels and these navigable waters before, during, and after
the scheduled 10 p.m. through 11 p.m. fireworks display. No vessel or
person would be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking.

Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. The temporary safety zone
would only be in effect for one hour and limit access to a one-mile
stretch of the Ohio River. The Coast Guard expects minimum adverse
impact to mariners. Also, mariners would be permitted to request
authorization from the COTP or a designated representative to transit
the temporary safety zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

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

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

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

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1
(series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves a safety
zone lasting one hour that would prohibit entry within a 1-mile stretch
of the Ohio River. Normally such actions are categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph L(60a) in Table 3-1 of U.S. Coast
Guard Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures. A preliminary
Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is
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 proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

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

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

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

(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on September 23, 2013, Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to extend a pilot program related to Rule
52.4 (Clearly Erroneous Executions) and remove certain references to
individual stock trading pauses contained in Rule 52.4(c)(4). The text
of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site
(http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the
Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, 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 aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange is proposing to extend the effectiveness of the
Exchange's current rule applicable to Clearly Erroneous Executions and
to remove references to individual stock trading pauses described in
CBOE Stock Exchange, LLC (``CBSX'') Rule 52.4(c)(4). Portions of CBSX
Rule 52.4, explained in further detail below, are currently operating
as a pilot program set to expire on September 30, 2013. The Exchange
proposes to extend the pilot program to April 8, 2014.
    On September 10, 2010, the Commission approved, on a pilot basis,
changes to CBSX Rule 52.4 to provide for uniform treatment: (1) Of
clearly erroneous execution reviews in multi-stock events involving
twenty or more securities; and (2) in the event transactions occur that
result in the issuance of an individual stock trading pause by the
primary listing market and subsequent transactions that occur before
the trading pause is in effect on the Exchange. The Exchange also
adopted additional changes to CBSX Rule 52.4 that reduced the ability
of the Exchange to deviate from the objective standards set forth in
CBSX Rule 52.4, and in 2013, adopted a provision designed to address
the operation of the Plan to Address Extraordinary Market Volatility
Pursuant to Rule 608 of Regulation NMS under the Act (the ``Limit Up-
Limit Down Plan'' or the ``Plan''). The Exchange believes the benefits
to market participants from the more objective clearly erroneous
executions rule should continue on a pilot basis through April 8, 2014,
which is one year following the commencement of operations of the Plan.
The Exchange believes that continuing the pilot during this time will
protect against any unanticipated consequences. Thus, the Exchange
believes that the protections of the Clearly Erroneous Rule should
continue while the industry gains further experience operating the
Plan.
    The Exchange also proposes to eliminate all references in CBSX Rule
52.4 to individual stock trading pauses issued by a primary listing
market. Specifically, CBSX Rule 52.4(c)(4)

provides specific rules to follow with respect to review of an
execution as potentially clearly erroneous when there was an individual
stock trading pause issued pursuant to Rule 6.3C.03(a). The stock
trading pauses described in CBSX Rule 52.4(c)(4) are being phased out
as securities become subject to the Plan pursuant to a phased
implementation schedule. The Plan is already operational with respect
to all securities included in Rule 6.3C.03(a), and thus, the Exchange
believes that all references to individual stock trading pauses should
be removed, including all cross-references to CBSX Rule 52.4(c)(4)
contained in other portions of CBSX Rule 52.4.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange notes that certain Exchange Traded Products
(``ETPs'') are not yet subject to the Plan. Because such ETPs are
not on the pilot list of securities, such ETPs are not subject to
Rule 52.4(c)(4). See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65103
(August 11, 2011), 76 FR 51094 (August 17, 2011) (SR-CBOE-2011-078)
(notice of filing and immediate effectiveness Proposed Rule Change
Related to the CBSX Clearly Erroneous Policy Pilot Program).
Accordingly, the proposed rule change does not change the status quo
with respect to such ETPs. As amended, all securities, including
ETPs not subject to the Plan, will continue to be subject to Rule
52.4(c)(1) through (3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\4\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \5\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, 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. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \6\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes that the extension of the
pilot would help assure that the determination of whether a clearly
erroneous trade has occurred will be based on clear and objective
criteria, and that the resolution of the incident will occur promptly
through a transparent process. The proposed rule change would also help
assure consistent results in handling erroneous trades across the U.S.
markets, thus furthering fair and orderly markets, the protection of
investors and the public interest. Although the Plan will become fully
operational during the same time period as the proposed extended pilot,
the Exchange believes that maintaining the pilot will help to protect
against unanticipated consequences. To that end, the extension will
allow the Exchange to determine whether CBSX Rule 52.4 is necessary
once the Plan is fully operational and, if so, whether improvements can
be made. Finally, the elimination of references to individual stock
trading pauses will help to avoid confusion amongst market
participants, which is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest and therefore consistent with the Act. As described
above, individual stock trading pauses have been replaced by the Plan.

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary, the Exchange
believes that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'')
and other national securities exchanges are also filing similar
proposals, and thus, that the proposal will help to ensure consistency
across market centers.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    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 for 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 \7\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the 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 asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon
filing. 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 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

SUBJECT: 	Adoption rates of Permittees Where States Have the Option for E-Reporting DMRs [DCN 0027]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Status of States Regarding e-Reporting of DMRs

      A number of states authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program have switched from paper to electronic collection of Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). EPA has asked a number of states about the participation rate of NPDES regulated entities in the state's electronic collection of DMRs as part of its regular set of calls with states. EPA has learned that migration to e-reporting of DMRs is not uniform across the states. EPA is aware of only two states (Ohio, West Virginia) that have mandated that NPDES regulated entities submit their DMRs electronically.

      Below are the participation rates of NPDES regulated entities in the state's electronic collection of DMRs. These are participation rates are preliminary and apply to facilities individual permits that are required to submit DMRs.

         *       California  -  70% of all permittees designated as majors
         *       Kansas  -  10% of all permittees designated as majors
         *       Louisiana  -  10% of all permittees
         *       Maine  -  85% of total
         *       Massachusetts  -  35% of total
         *       Mississippi  -  35% of total
         *       North Carolina  -  2% of total
         *       Ohio  -  100% of total
         *       Virginia  -  40% of total
         *       West Virginia  -  85% of total
         *       Wyoming  -  90% of total

      Two states (New Jersey and Vermont) have indicated they are not moving toward electronic reporting at this time. Thirteen states (Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island and South Carolina) are in some stage of planning for electronic reporting.

      There is no information available on the territories, but only the Virgin Islands has received authority to administer the NPDES program.  The other territories are under EPA permitting authority. The remaining states and the District of Columbia have implemented some form of electronic reporting for DMRs.  No adoption rate information is available for the other states at this time

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's receipt of an application 74234-
EUP-E from Intralytix, Inc., requesting an experimental use permit
(EUP) for the E. coli 0157:H7 bacteriophage. The Agency has determined

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. This action may,
however, be of interest to those persons who are or may be required to
conduct testing of chemical substances under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Since other entities may also be interested,
the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that
may be affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under Section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow manufacturers to
field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers are required to
obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses of pesticides
if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or more of land or
one acre or more of water.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the
following EUP application may be of regional and national significance,
and therefore is seeking public comment on the EUP application:
    Submitter: Intralytix, Inc. (74234-EUP-E).
    Pesticide Chemical: E. coli 0157:H7 Bacteriophage.
    Summary of Request: An EUP will enable Intralytix to determine if
the efficacy of E. coli 0157:H7 bacteriophage ECP 100 in reducing or
eliminating E. coli 0157:H7 contamination of surfaces in controlled
laboratory experiments can be replicated under field conditions in a
working beef processing plant environment.
    A copy of the application and any information submitted is
available for public review in the docket established for this EUP
application as described under ADDRESSES.
    Following the review of the application and any comments and data
received in response to this solicitation, EPA will decide whether to
issue or deny the EUP request, and if issued, the conditions under
which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will be announced
in the Federal Register.
