Public Meetings

    We do not intend to hold any public meetings in association with
this DEA.

Background and Purpose

    In the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of
1990, as reauthorized, and as amended by the National Invasive Species
Act of 1996, Public Law 101-646 and Public Law 104-332, respectively,
Congress directed the Coast Guard to prevent introduction of aquatic
nonindigenous species from ballast water discharged by ships (16 U.S.C.
4711). To achieve this objective, the Coast Guard wrote new regulations
in 33 CFR 151, subparts C and D (58 FR 18330, Apr. 8, 1993, and 69 FR
44952, Jul. 28, 2004, respectively).
    On December 8, 2004, the Coast Guard published a notice in the
Federal Register (69 FR 71068, Dec. 8, 2004), announcing its Shipboard
Technology Evaluation Program (STEP) for experimental shipboard ballast
water treatment systems. The program goal is to promote development of
alternatives to ballast water exchange as a means of preventing
invasive species from entering U.S. waters through ships' ballast
water. The comments we received support testing prototype treatment
equipment and developing effective and practicable standards for
approving this equipment.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(Section 102(2)(c)), as implemented by the Council of Environmental
Quality regulations in 40 CFR parts 1500-1508, and Coast Guard
Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, ``National Environmental Policy Act
Implementing Procedures and Policy for Considering Environmental
Impacts'', the Coast Guard prepared a Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (PEA) for the STEP to evaluate the environmental impacts
from installing and operating a limited number of prototype ballast
water treatment systems (69 FR 71068, Dec. 8, 2004). The PEA can be
found in docket USCG-2001-9267. That PEA addresses potential effects to
the natural and human environments including fish, marine mammals,
invertebrates, microorganisms and plankton, submerged and emergent
species, threatened and endangered species, and essential fish habitat.
It also requires each system to be evaluated for localized affects on
the ports and waterways where a vessel involved in the program
operates.
    We request your comments on the potential impacts of installing,
using, and testing the Severn Trent De Nora BalPure\TM\ Ballast Water
Treatment System on the tank ship S/R AMERICAN PROGRESS, as analyzed in
the DEA. We also request your comments on sources of data, reference
material, or other information not included in the DEA. Your comments
will be considered in preparing a Final Environmental Assessment for
the S/R AMERICAN PROGRESS.

    Dated: November 21, 2008.
Brian M. Salerno,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety,
Security and Stewardship.

BILLING CODE 4910-15-P


When submitting an objection to a submitted exclusion request, the
objector must locate the exclusion request and submit the objection in
response to the request directly in the 232 Exclusions Portal. Once the
relevant exclusion request has

been located, an individual or organization that would like to submit
an objection will access the objection form by scrolling to the bottom
of the exclusion request form and then fill out the web-based form for
submitting their objection to the exclusion request in the 232
Exclusions Portal (https://www.commerce.gov/page/section-232-investigations).
    (3) Time limit for submitting objections to submitted exclusions
requests. All objections to submitted exclusion requests must be
submitted directly on the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://www.commerce.gov/page/section-232-investigations) no later than 30 days
after the related exclusion request is posted, with the 30-day clock
starting at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the calendar day an exclusion
request is posted.
    (4) Substance of objections to submitted exclusion requests. The
objection should clearly identify, and provide support for, its
opposition to the proposed exclusion, with reference to the specific
basis identified in, and the support provided for, the submitted
exclusion request. If the objector is asserting that it is not
currently producing the steel or aluminum identified in an exclusion
request but can produce the steel or aluminum and make that steel or
aluminum available ``immediately'' in accordance with the time required
for the user of steel or aluminum in the United States to obtain the
product from its foreign suppliers, the objector must identify how it
will be able to produce and deliver the quantity of steel or aluminum
needed either within eight weeks, or if after eight weeks, by a date
which is earlier than the named foreign supplier would deliver the
entire quantity of the requested product. It is incumbent on both the
exclusion requester, and objecting producers, to provide supplemental
evidence supporting their claimed delivery times. This requirement
includes specifying in writing to Department of Commerce as part of the
objection, the timeline the objector anticipates in order to start or
restart production of the steel included in the exclusion request to
which it is objecting. For example, a summary timeline that specifies
the steps that will occur over the weeks needed to produce that steel
or aluminum would be helpful to include, not only for the Department of
Commerce review of the objection, but also for the requester of the
exclusion and its determination whether to file a rebuttal to the
objection. The U.S. Department of Commerce understands that, in certain
cases, regulatory approvals, such as from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) or some approvals at the state or local level, may be
required to start or restart production and that some of these types of
approvals may be outside the control of an objector.
    (e) Limitations on the size of submissions. Each exclusion request
and each objection to a submitted exclusion request is to be limited to
a maximum of 5,000 words, inclusive of all exhibits and attachments,
but exclusive of the respective forms and any CBI provided to the U.S.
Department of Commerce. Each attachment to a submission must be less
than 10 MB.
    (f) Rebuttal process. Only individuals or organizations that have
submitted an exclusion request pursuant to this supplement may submit a
rebuttal to any objection(s) posted in the 232 Exclusions Portal
(https://www.commerce.gov/page/section-232-investigations). The
objections to submitted exclusion requests process identified under
paragraph (d) of this supplement already establish a formal response
process for steel and aluminum manufacturers in the United States.
    (1) Identification of rebuttals. When submitting a rebuttal, the
individual or organization that submitted the exclusion request will
access the rebuttal form by scrolling to the bottom of the objection
form and then filling out the web-based form for submitting their
rebuttal to the objection in the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://www.commerce.gov/page/section-232-investigations).
    (2) Format and size limitations for rebuttals. Similar to the
exclusions process identified under paragraph (c) of this supplement
and the objection process identified under paragraph (d) of this
supplement, the rebuttal process requires the submission of a
government form as specified in paragraph (b)(3) of this supplement.
Each rebuttal is to be limited to a maximum of 2,500 words, inclusive
of all exhibits and attachments, but exclusive of the rebuttal form and
any CBI provided to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Each attachment to
a submission must be less than 10 MB.
    (3) Substance of rebuttals. Rebuttals must address an objection to
the exclusion request made by the requester. If multiple objections
were received on a particular exclusion, the requester may submit a
rebuttal to each objector. The most effective rebuttals will be those
that aim to correct factual errors or misunderstandings in the
objection(s).
    (4) Time limit for submitting rebuttals. The rebuttal period begins
on the date the Department opens the rebuttal period after the posting
of the last objection in the 232 Exclusions Portal. The rebuttal period
ends seven days after the rebuttal comment period is opened. This
seven-day rebuttal period allows for the individual or organization
that submitted an exclusion request pursuant to this supplement to
submit any written rebuttals that it believes are warranted.
    (g) Surrebuttal process. Only individuals or organizations that
have a posted objection to a submitted exclusion request pursuant to
this supplement may submit a surrebuttal to a rebuttal (see paragraph
(f) of this supplement) posted to their objection to an exclusion
request in the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://www.commerce.gov/page/section-232-investigations).
    (1) Identification of surrebuttals. When submitting a surrebuttal,
the individual or organization that submitted the objection will access
the surrebuttal form by scrolling to the bottom of the rebuttal form
and then filling out the web-based form for submitting their
surrebuttal to the rebuttal in the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://www.commerce.gov/page/section-232-investigations).
    (2) Format and size limitations for surrebuttals. Similar to the
exclusions process identified under paragraph (c) of this supplement,
the objection process identified under paragraph (d) of this
supplement, and the rebuttal process identified under paragraph (f) of
this supplement, the surrebuttal process requires the submission of a
government form as specified in paragraph (b)(4) of this supplement.
The surrebuttal must be submitted in the 232 Exclusions Portal. Each
surrebuttal is to be limited to a maximum of 2,500 words, inclusive of
all exhibits and attachments, but exclusive of the surrebuttal form and
any CBI provided to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Each attachment to
a submission must be less than 10 MB.
    (3) Substance of surrebuttals. Surrebuttals must address a rebuttal
to an objection to the exclusion request made by the requester. The
most effective surrebuttals will be those that aim to correct factual
errors or misunderstandings in the rebuttal to an objection.
    (4) Time limit for submitting surrebuttals. The surrebuttal period
begins on the date the Department opens the surrebuttal comment period
after the posting of the last rebuttal to an objection to an exclusion
request in

the 232 Exclusions Portal. The surrebuttal period ends seven days after
the surrebuttal comment period is opened. This seven-day surrebuttal
period allows for the individual or organization that submitted an
objection to a submitted exclusion request pursuant to this supplement
to submit any written surrebuttals that it believes are warranted to
respond to a rebuttal.
    (h) Disposition of 232 submissions--(1) Disposition of incomplete
submissions. (i) Exclusion requests that do not satisfy the
requirements specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this supplement
will be rejected.
    (ii) Objection filings that do not satisfy the requirements
specified in paragraphs (b) and (d) will not be considered.
    (iii) Rebuttal filings that do not satisfy the requirements
specified in paragraphs (b) and (f) will not be considered.
    (iv) Surrebuttal filings that do not satisfy the requirements
specified in paragraphs (b) and (g) will not be considered.
    (2) Disposition of complete submissions--(i) Posting of responses
in the 232 Exclusions Portal. The U.S. Department of Commerce will post
responses (decision memos) in the 232 Exclusions Portal to each
exclusion request. The U.S. Department of Commerce response to an
exclusion request will also be responsive to any of the objection(s),
rebuttal(s) and surrebuttal(s) for that submitted exclusion request
submitted through the 232 Exclusions Portal.
    (ii) Streamlined review process for ``No Objection'' requests. The
U.S. Department of Commerce will grant properly filed exclusion
requests which meet the requisite criteria, receive no objections, and
present no national security concerns. If an exclusion request's 30-day
comment period in the 232 Exclusions Portal has expired and no
objections have been submitted, BIS will immediately assess the request
for any national security concerns. If BIS identifies no national
security concerns, it will post a decision granting the exclusion
request in the 232 Exclusions Portal.
    (iii) Effective date for approved exclusions and date used for
calculating duty refunds--(A) Effective date for approved exclusions.
Approved exclusions will be effective five business days after
publication of the U.S. Department of Commerce response granting an
exclusion in the 232 Exclusions Portal. Starting on that date, the
requester will be able to rely upon the approved exclusion request in
calculating the duties owed on the product imported in accordance with
the terms listed in the approved exclusion request. Companies are able
to receive retroactive relief on granted requests dating back to the
date of the request's submission on unliquidated entries.
    (B) Contact for obtaining duty refunds. The U.S. Department of
Commerce does not provide refunds on tariffs. Any questions on the
refund of duties should be directed to CBP.
    (iv) Validity period for exclusion requests. Exclusions will
generally be approved for one year from the date of the signature on
the decision memo, but may be valid for shorter or longer than one year
depending on the specifics of the exclusion request; any objections
filed; and analysis by the U.S. Department of Commerce and other parts
of the U.S. Government, as warranted, of the current supply and demand
in the United States, including any limitations or other factors that
the Department determines should be considered in order to achieve the
national security objectives of the duties and quantitative
limitations.
    (A) Examples of what fact patterns may warrant a longer exclusion
validity period. Individuals or organizations submitting exclusion
requests or objections may, and are encouraged to specify how long they
believe an exclusion may be warranted and specify the rationale for
that recommended time period. For example, an individual or
organization submitting an exclusion request may request a longer
validity period if there are factors outside of their control that may
make it warranted to grant a longer period. These factors may include
regulatory requirements that make a longer validity period justified,
e.g., for an aircraft manufacturer that would require a certain number
of years to make a change to an FAA-approved type certificate or for a
manufacturer of medical items to obtain FDA approval. Business
considerations, such as the need for a multi-year contract for steel
with strict delivery schedules in order to complete a significant U.S.
project by an established deadline, e.g., a large scale oil and gas
exploration project, is another illustrative example of the types of
considerations that a person submitting an exclusion request may
reference.
    (B) Examples of what criteria may warrant a shorter exclusion
validity period. Objectors are encouraged to provide their suggestions
for how long they believe an appropriate validity period should be for
an exclusion request. In certain cases, this may be an objector
indicating it has committed to adding new capacity that will be coming
online within six months, so a shorter six-month period is warranted.
Conversely, if an objector knows it will take two years to obtain
appropriate regulatory approvals, financing and/or completing
construction to add new capacity, the objector may, in responding to an
exclusion that requests a longer validity period, e.g., three years,
indicate that although they agree a longer validity period than one
year may be warranted in this case, that two years is sufficient.
    (C) None of the illustrative fact patterns identified in paragraphs
(h)(2)(iv)(A) or (B) of this supplement will be determinative in and of
themselves for establishing the appropriate validity period, but this
type of information is helpful for the U.S. Department of Commerce to
receive, when warranted, to help determine the appropriate validity
period if a period other than one year is requested.
    (3) Review period and implementation of any needed conforming
changes--(i) Review period. The review period normally will not exceed
106 days for requests that receive objections, including adjudication
of objections submitted on exclusion requests and any rebuttals to
objections, and surrebuttals. The estimated 106-day period begins on
the day the exclusion request is posted in the 232 Exclusions Portal,
and ends once a decision to grant or deny is made on the exclusion
request.
    (ii) Coordination with other agencies on approval and
implementation. Other agencies of the U.S. Government, such as CBP,
will take any additional steps needed to implement an approved
exclusion request. These additional steps needed to implement an
approved exclusion request are not part of the review criteria used by
the U.S. Department of Commerce to determine whether to approve an
exclusion request, but are an important component in ensuring the
approved exclusion request can be properly implemented. The U.S.
Department of Commerce will provide CBP with information that will
identify each approved exclusion request pursuant to this supplement.
Individuals or organizations whose exclusion requests are approved must
report information concerning any applicable exclusion in such form as
CBP may require. These exclusion identifiers will be used by importers
in the data collected by CBP in order for CBP to determine whether an
import is within the scope of an approved exclusion request.

    (i) For further information. If you have questions on this
supplement, you may contact the Director, Industrial Studies, Office of
Technology Evaluation, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department
of Commerce, at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>regarding steel
exclusion requests, or at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>regarding aluminum exclusion requests. The U.S. Department of Commerce
website includes FAQs, best practices other companies have used for
submitting exclusion requests and objections, and helpful checklists.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has also included a manual providing
instruction on the 232 Exclusions Portal for exclusion requests
submitted on or after June 13, 2019, titled 232 Exclusions Portal
Comprehensive Guide (``232 Exclusions Guide'') and posted online at
(https://www.commerce.gov/page/section-232-investigations) to assist
your understanding when making 232 submissions in the 232 Exclusions
Portal.

3. Effective December 29, 2020 Supplement No. 2 to part 705 is revised
to read as follows:

Supplement No. 2 to Part 705--General Approved Exclusions (GAEs) for
Steel Articles Under the 232 Exclusions Process

    This supplement identifies steel articles that have been approved
for import under a General Approved Exclusion (GAE). The Secretary of
Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Secretary of State, the United States Trade
Representative, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and other
senior Executive Branch officials as appropriate, makes these
determinations that certain steel articles may be authorized under a
GAE consistent with the objectives of the 232 Exclusions Process as
outlined in supplement no. 1 to this part. The GAEs described in this
supplement may be used by any importer. GAEs do not include quantity
limits. Each GAE identifier will be effective fifteen calendar days
after publication of a Federal Register notice either adding or
revising a specific GAE identifier. There is no retroactive relief for
GAEs. Relief is only available to steel articles that are entered for
consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after
the effective date of a GAE included in supplement no. 2 to this part.
In order to use a GAE, the importer must include the GAE identifier in
the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system that corresponds to
the steel articles being imported. These GAEs are indefinite in length,
but the Department of Commerce on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce
may at any time issue a Federal Register notice removing, revising or
adding to an existing GAE in this supplement as warranted to align with
the objectives of the 232 exclusions process as described in supplement
no. 1 to this part. The Department of Commerce on behalf of the
Secretary of Commerce may periodically publish notices of inquiry in
the Federal Register soliciting public comments on potential removals,
revisions or additions to this supplement.

5. Effective December 29, 2020. add Supplement No. 3 to part 705 to
read as follows:

Supplement No. 3 to Part 705--General Approved Exclusions (GAEs) for
Aluminum Articles Under the 232 Exclusions Process

    This supplement identifies aluminum articles that have been
approved for import under a General Approved Exclusion (GAE). The
Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense,
the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of State, the United
States Trade Representative, the Assistant to the President for
Economic Policy, the Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs, and other senior Executive Branch officials as appropriate,
makes these determinations that certain aluminum articles may be
authorized under a GAE consistent with the objectives of the 232
exclusions process as outlined in supplement no. 1 to this part. The
GAEs described in this supplement may be used by any importer. GAEs do
not include quantity limits. Each GAE identifier will be effective
fifteen calendar days after publication of a Federal Register notice
either adding or revising a specific GAE identifier. There is no
retroactive relief for GAEs. Relief is only available to aluminum
articles that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, on or after the effective date of a GAE included in
supplement no. 2 to this part. In order to use a GAE, the importer must
reference the GAE identifier in the Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE) system that corresponds to the aluminum articles being imported.
These GAEs are indefinite in length, but the Department of Commerce on
behalf of the Secretary of Commerce may at any time issue a Federal
Register notice removing, revising or adding to an existing GAE in this
supplement as warranted to align with the objectives of the 232
exclusions process as described in supplement no. 1 to this part. The
Department of Commerce on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce may
periodically publish notices of inquiry in the Federal Register
soliciting public comments on potential removals, revisions or
additions to this supplement.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemptions from the
vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for
60 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals
from the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not
compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that granting these
exemption renewals will provide a level of safety that is equivalent
to, or greater than, the level of safety maintained without the
exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

DATES: This decision is effective July 20, 2010. Comments must be
received on or before July 28, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This Notice addresses 60 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 60 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual has a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and
(b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is otherwise
physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each individual
provides a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the
medical examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (3)
that each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification
to the employer for retention in the driver's qualification file and
retains a copy of the certification on his/her person while driving for
presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement
official. Each exemption will be valid for two years unless rescinded
earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The person
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 60 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (64 FR 54948; 65 FR 159; 67 FR 10475; 69 FR 8260; 71 FR
6824; 73 FR 48275; 67 FR 17102; 69 FR 17267; 71 FR 26601; 65 FR 20245;

FR 48797; 70 FR 61493; 70 FR 57353; 70 FR 72689; 71 FR 4194; 71 FR
13450; 71 FR 5105; 71 FR 19600; 71 FR 6826; 71 FR 19602; 71 FR 14566;
71 FR 30227; 71 FR 32183; 71 FR 41310; 72 FR 180; 72 FR 9397; 73 FR
15567; 73 FR 27015). Each of these 60 applicants has requested renewal
of the exemption and has submitted evidence showing that the vision in
the better eye continues to meet the standard specified at 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10) and that the vision impairment is stable. In addition, a
review of each record of safety while driving with the respective
vision deficiencies over the past two years indicates each applicant
continues to meet the vision exemption standards. These factors provide
an adequate basis for predicting each driver's ability to continue to
drive safely in interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that
extending the exemption for each renewal applicant for a period of two
years is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing
without the exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by July 28, 2010.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published Notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 60 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each
case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received
to its Notices of applications. The Notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.
