Background Information

Overview of the OSHA Directorate of Training and Education (DTE)

    DTE, located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, supports the Agency's
mission and performance goals of securing safe and healthy workplaces
and increasing workers' voice in the workplace through the development
and delivery of training courses and educational programs. The
Directorate has four distinct functional areas: the OSHA Training
Institute (OTI), the Office of Training and Educational Programs, the
Office of Training and Educational Development, and the Office of
Administration and Training Information.
    The Directorate provides training for federal and state compliance
officers and State consultants. The Directorate administers three
distinct external training programs including the OTI Education Centers
Program, the Outreach Training Program, and the Susan Harwood Training
Grants Program. The Resource Center Loan Program supports safety and
health training through the loan of educational materials to authorized
borrowers. The Directorate also develops training and educational
materials that support OTI courses and the Agency's compliance
assistance initiatives.

Overview of the OSHA Training Institute (OTI)

    OTI, located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, is OSHA's primary
training provider. OTI conducts over 50 unique course offerings on an
annual basis. Training includes job hazard recognition as well as OSHA
standards, policies, and procedures for persons responsible for
enforcing or directly supporting the Occupational Safety and Health Act
of 1970. Courses include practical exercises that utilize the
industrial hygiene, safety and construction laboratories in addition to
field sites. The OTI's primary responsibility is to federal and state

compliance officers and state consultation program staff. Private
sector personnel and federal personnel from agencies other than OSHA
may receive training from OTI when space is available. However, the OTI
Education Centers are the primary training providers for private sector
personnel and federal personnel from agencies other than OSHA.

Overview of OTI Education Centers

    The OTI Education Centers are a national network of non-profit
organizations authorized by OSHA to deliver occupational safety and
health training to private sector workers, supervisors, and employers
on behalf of OSHA. The OTI Education Centers Program was initiated in
1992 when OSHA began partnering with other training and educational
institutions to conduct OTI courses for private sector personnel,
federal personnel from agencies other than OSHA, and state and
municipal employees. The OTI Education Centers Program support OSHA's
training and education mission through a variety of safety and health
programs.
    OTI Education Center courses include OSHA standards and Outreach
Training Program trainer and update courses. Additional course
offerings include topics such as recordkeeping, machine guarding,
confined space, electrical standards, and fall arrest systems.
Information regarding the OTI Education Centers Program background,
including a complete list of current organizations, course offerings,
and descriptions can be found on the OSHA Web site at: http://www.osha.gov/dte/training/edcenters/index.html.
    OTI Education Centers are selected through a national competitive
process and receive no funding from OSHA; they support their OSHA
training through their normal tuition and fee structures. OTI Education
Centers are located in all OSHA Regions and work closely with OSHA
Regional and Area offices to meet the needs of the regional
constituency. OTI Education Centers are encouraged to conduct courses
at host-sites other than their own facilities and in other states
within their Region. Host-site organizations must be non-profit
organizations. OTI Education Centers are also responsible for
authorizing trainers, processing trainer card requests, and conducting
monitoring activity for the OSHA Outreach Training Program.

Overview of the OSHA Outreach Training Program

    The OSHA Outreach Training Program was established during the early
years of the Agency to provide an overview of OSHA and to rapidly
disseminate basic occupational safety and health workplace hazard
information to workers using independent authorized trainers. Courses
are intended to provide information on worker rights, employer
responsibilities, and how to file a complaint as well as focusing on
work-related hazards. Outreach Training Program courses do not focus on
or teach OSHA standards. Workers who complete the construction
industry, general industry, maritime industry, or disaster site worker
courses receive OSHA course completion cards from the authorized
trainer who conducted the training. OSHA Outreach Trainers are
authorized exclusively through the OTI Education Centers. OTI Education
Centers are responsible for administering the Outreach Training
Program, including issuing course completion cards to authorized
Outreach trainers and conducting monitoring activity such as record
audits and training observations.
    The Outreach Training Program is a voluntary program. OSHA
recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an introduction to
worker rights, employer responsibilities, how to file a complaint and
occupational safety and health hazard recognition for workers. However,
some states have enacted laws mandating the training. In addition, some
employers, unions, organizations or other jurisdictions may also
require this training. Please note that Outreach Training Program
courses do not meet specific training requirements contained in OSHA
standards. Employers are responsible for training their workers on
specific hazards of their job, as noted in many OSHA standards. A list
of standards requiring training is found in OSHA Publication 2254
Training Requirements in OSHA Standards and Training Guidelines located
at: www.osha.gov/pls/publications/publication.athruz?pType=Types&pID=1.
    The OSHA Outreach Training Program requirements and procedures
contain instructions and assistance information for Outreach Trainers.
Among the issues addressed in the requirements and procedures are
course topic requirements, minimum lengths for course topics,
advertising restrictions, records retention, and reporting
requirements. OSHA Outreach Training Program guidelines are located at:
http://www.osha.gov/dte/outreach/index.html.

Consortia and Partnerships

    Applicants may join with one or more other non-profit organizations
in their Region to apply as a consortium. A training or education
institution may elect to apply for this program in partnership with a
safety and health organization that is not primarily a training
organization. For example, a university could enter into an agreement
with a labor union that provides for the use of university classrooms
and faculty supplemented by union safety and health professionals. All
consortium partners must be physically located in the same OSHA region.
Partners must designate a lead organization that will be responsible
for program reporting and Outreach Training Program administration
including Outreach card distribution.

    OSHA provides no funding to OTI Education Centers. OTI Education
Centers Program participants are expected to support their training
through their normal tuition and fee structures.

Cooperative Agreement Duration

    Selected applicants will sign five-year non-financial cooperative
agreements with OSHA. With satisfactory performance by the OTI
Education Center, agreements may be renewed without additional
competition for an additional five years. The agency reserves the right
to revoke the authorization of an OTI Education Center. Either party
may terminate the cooperative agreement with advance written notice.

Proposal Conference

    A proposal conference will be held to provide potential applicants
with information about the OTI Education Centers Program. The
conference will also clarify OSHA expectations for OTI Education
Centers, courses and methods of instruction, as well as administrative
and program requirements for OTI Education Centers and the OSHA
Outreach Training Program. Attendance at the proposal conference is not

New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor; Change of Sponsor Address;
Azaperone; Miconazole, Polymyxin B, and Prednisolone Suspension

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for two new animal drug
applications (NADAs) from Janssen Pharmaceutica NV, to Elanco Animal
Health, a Division of Eli Lilly & Co. FDA is also amending the animal
drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor's address for
Veterinary Service, Inc.

DATES: This rule is effective August 6, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven D. Vaughn, Center for
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7520
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>, email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Janssen Pharmaceutica NV, Turnhoutseweg 30,
B-2340 Beerse, Belgium, has informed FDA that it has transferred
ownership of, and all rights and interest in, NADA 115-732 for STRESNIL
(azaperone) Injection and NADA 141-298 for SUROLAN (miconazole nitrate,
polymyxin B sulfate, prednisolone acetate) Otic Suspension to Elanco
Animal Health, a Division of Eli Lilly & Co., Lilly Corporate Center,
Indianapolis, IN 46285. Following these changes of sponsorship, Janssen
Pharmaceutica NV will no longer be the sponsor of an approved
application. Accordingly, the Agency is amending the regulations in 21
CFR 510.600, 522.150, and 524.1445 to reflect the transfer of
ownership.
    In addition, Veterinary Service, Inc., 416 North Jefferson St.,
P.O. Box 2467,

Modesto, CA 95354 has informed FDA of a change of address to 4100 Bangs
Ave., Modesto, CA 95356. Accordingly, the Agency is amending the
regulations in 21 CFR 510.600 to reflect these changes.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C.
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.''
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:E-cigs are a necessary way to help people quit smoking tobacco and use this instead.  This has allowed my husband and many of our friends to quit smoking for good when none of the other quit smoking aids would help.  Nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges are not useful for many people, but this IS!

 A 75 day comment period is insufficient time for the vaping industry and the wider vaping community to comment on the proposed deeming regulations. I would respectfully request that the period for comment be extended to 180 days.

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0504; Airspace Docket No. 20-AAL-4]
RIN 2120-AA66

Removal of Colored Federal Airways Amber 7 (A-7), Green 11 (G-
11), and Amendment of Amber 1 (A-1); Alaska

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action removes two Colored Federal airways, A-7 and G-11,
and amends one Colored Federal airway, A-1 in Alaska. The modifications
are necessary due to the planned decommissioning of the Campbell Lake
Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) in Anchorage, AK, which provides
navigation guidance for portions of the affected routes. The Campbell
Lake NDB is to be decommissioned due to ongoing maintenance problems.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, December 31, 2020. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, and subsequent amendments can be viewed online at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/. For further information, you can

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. 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
the 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 modifies the air traffic service route structure in the
National Airspace System as necessary to preserve the safe and
efficient flow of air traffic.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2020-0504 in the Federal Register (85 FR 35818; June 12, 2020)
removing Colored Federal airways A-7, G-11 and amending A-1. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
    Colored Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009 of FAA
Order 7400.11E dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Colored Federal
airway listed in this document will be subsequently published in the
Order.

Differences From the NPRM

    In the NPRM amendment section addressing the proposed removal of A-
7, the text was stated in error as G-7. This rule corrects that
editorial error in the amendment section.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying Colored Federal airways A-7, G-11, and A-1. The
Colored Airway actions are described below.
    A-7: A-7 currently extends between the Campbell Lake, AK, NDB and
the Mineral Creek, AK, NDB. This action removes the entire route.
    G-11: G-11 currently extends between the Campbell Lake, AK, NDB and
the Nabesna, AK, NDB. This action removes the entire route.
    A-1: A-1 currently extends from the Abbotsford, BC, Canada, NDB and
the Fort Davis, AK NDB. The FAA action removes the segment between the
Orca Bay, AK, NDB and the Takotna River, AK, NDB. The unaffected
portions of the existing route remain as charted. The portion within
Canada is excluded.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (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 only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this airspace action of removing
Colored Federal airways A-7, G-11, and amending Colored Federal airway
A-1 qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR
part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically
excludes from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions
that designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes,
and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C,
D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting
Points). As such, this action is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the
FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2146-000]

Alabama Power Company; Notice of Authorization for Continued
Project Operation

August 8, 2007.
    On July 28, 2005, Alabama Power Company, licensee for the Coosa
River Hydroelectric Project, filed an application for a new or
subsequent license pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the
Commission's regulations. The Coosa River Project is located on the
Coosa River in the states of Alabama and Georgia.
    The license for Project No. 2146 was issued for a period ending
July 31, 2007. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),
requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to the then licensee under the
terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section
15 or any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based
on section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c),
and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the license after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on its application. If the licensee
of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent
license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to
continue project operations until the Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.
    If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 2146 is issued to

of a new license (or other disposition) does not take place on or
before July 31, 2008, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18 CFR
16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is
renewed automatically without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission

orders otherwise. If the project is not subject to section 15 of the
FPA, notice is hereby given that Alabama Power Company is authorized to
continue operation of the Coosa River Project until such time as the
Commission acts on its application for a subsequent license.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2850-014--NY]

Hampshire Paper Company; Notice Rejecting Application, Waiving
Regulations, and Soliciting Applications

June 15, 2010.
    On June 2, 2010, Hampshire Paper Company (Hampshire Paper),
licensee for the Emeryville Hydroelectric Project No. 2850, filed an
application for a new license for the project pursuant to Section
15(b)(1) of the Federal Power Act (Act). The license application was
untimely filed and is hereby rejected.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Hampshire Paper was issued a major license for the project
on June 17, 1982, for a term of 30 years, effective the first day of
the month in which the order was issued. 19 FERC ] 62,491 (1982).
The license therefore expired on May 31, 2012, and the statutory
deadline for filing a new license application was May 31, 2010. See
Sec.  15(c)(1), 16 U.S.C. 808(c)(1). Since May 31 was a legal
holiday, the deadline for filing a new license application was the
first business day following that day, June 1, 2010. See 18 CFR
385.2007 (2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The project is located on the mainstem of the Oswegatchie River at
approximate river mile 70 in the hamlet of Emeryville, town of Fowler,
St. Lawrence County New York. The project consists of: (1) A 22-foot-
high concrete gravity dam with a 185-foot- long overflow spillway
equipped with 2.4-foot-high flashboards and a 4-foot-wide minimum flow
rectangular weir with a minimum elevation of 584.2 feet mean sea level
(msl); (2) a 35-acre reservoir with a normal water surface elevation of
586.6 feet msl; (3) a 37-foot-long by 33-foot-wide reinforced concrete
intake structure equipped with four headgates connected to; (4) a 123-
foot-long by 21-foot-wide steel reinforced wooden power flume equipped
with a trashrack with 2-inch clear spacing connected to; (5) a 60-foot-
long by 14-foot-diameter steel penstock leading to; (6) a powerhouse
containing a single generating unit with a rated capacity of 3,481
kilowatts for an estimated average annual generation of 18,400
megawatt-hours; (7) an 80-foot-long, 23-kilovolt transmission line; and
(8) appurtenant facilities.
    As a result of the rejection of Hampshire Paper's application and
pursuant to Section 16.25 of the Commission's regulations, the
Commission is soliciting license applications from potential
applicants. This is necessary because the deadline for filing an
application for new license and any competing license applications,
pursuant to Section 16.9 of the Commission's regulations was June 1,
2010, and no other applications for license for this project were
filed. With this notice, we are waiving those parts of Section 16.24(a)
and 16.25(a) which bar an existing licensee that missed the two-year
application filing deadline from filing another application. Further,
since Hampshire Paper completed the consultation requirements pursuant
to Part 5 of the Integrated Licensing Process, we are waiving the
consultation requirements in Section 16.8 for the existing licensee.
Consequently, Hampshire Paper will be allowed to refile a license
application and compete for the license and the incumbent preference
established by the FPA Section 15(a)(2) will apply.\2\

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0272]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Recurring Safety Zone in Captain of the Port Sault
Sainte Marie Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to amend its recurring safety
zone regulations in the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone.
This proposed rule would update one safety zone location and dates.
This proposed amendment action is necessary to provide for the safety
of life associated with annual marine events and firework displays on
these navigable waters near Mackinaw City, MI. This proposed rulemaking
would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie 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 August 9, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2021-0272 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 LT Deaven Palenzuela, Chief of
Waterways Management, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
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, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On March 21, 2018 the Coast Guard published an NPRM in the Federal
Register (83 FR 12307) entitled ``Safety Zones; Recurring Safety Zones
in Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone.'' The NPRM proposed to
amend 21 permanent safety zones for annually recurring events in the
Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone under Sec.  165.918. The
NPRM was open for comment for 30 days.
    On April 20, 2018 the Coast Guard published the Final Rule in the
Federal Register (83 FR 12307), after receiving no comments on the
NPRM. Since that time there have been changes to the events that were
listed in the Final Rule. Through this proposed rule the Coast Guard
seeks to update Sec.  165.918 to reflect the current status of a
recurring marine event in the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie
Zone.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within a 1000-yard radius of the fireworks
barge 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 determines that an amendment to the recurring safety zones
list as published in 33 CFR 165.918 is necessary to: Update the
location and date of three existing safety zones: Mackinaw Area
Visitors Bureau Friday Night Fireworks, Festivals of Fireworks
Celebration Fireworks, and Mackinac Island Fourth of July Celebration
Fireworks. The purpose of this rule is to ensure safety of vessels and
the navigable waters in the safety zone before, during, and after the
scheduled event and to improve the overall clarity and readability of
the rule. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of
this document.
    The amendment to this proposed rule is necessary to ensure the
safety of vessels and people during annual events taking place on or
near federally maintained waterways in the Captain of the Port Sault
Sainte Marie Zone. Although this proposed rule will be in effect year-
round, the specific safety zones listed in Table 165.918 will only be
enforced during a specified period of time.
    When a Notice of Enforcement for a particular safety zone is
published, entry into, transiting through, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port
Sault Sainte Marie, or his or her designated representative. The
Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie or his or her designated
representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16 or telephone at 906-
635-3319. No vessel or person will 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. 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).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day for each safety zone. Vessel
traffic will be able to safely transit around all safety zones which
will impact small designated areas within the COTP zone for short
durations of time. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF channel 16 about the zone and the rule
allows vessels 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
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, 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 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 1.5 hours that would prohibit entry within 1000 yards of a
fireworks barge. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available
in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 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.
    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using https://www.regulations.gov, call or email the person
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for
alternate instructions.
    We accept anonymous comments. Comments we post to https://www.regulations.gov will include any personal information you have
provided. For more about privacy and submissions in response to this
document, see DHS's eRulemaking System of Records notice (85 FR 14226,
March 11, 2020).
    Documents mentioned in this NPRM as being available in the docket,
and public comments, will be in our online docket at https://www.regulations.gov and can be viewed by following that website's
instructions. We review all comments received, but we will only post
comments that address the topic of the proposed rule. We may choose not
to post off-topic, inappropriate, or duplicate comments that we
receive. If you go to the online docket and sign up for email alerts,
you will be notified when comments are posted or a final rule is
published.
