DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[USCG-2022-0796]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Green River, Henderson, KY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters from Mile Marker 7.0 to 9.0 on the Green River,
outside of Henderson, KY. The safety zone is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards
created by the bridge demolition. Entry of vessels or persons into this
zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the
Port Ohio Valley.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from October 5,
2022, through 6 p.m. October 31, 2022. For the purposes of enforcement,
actual notice will be used from 6 a.m. October 3, 2022, through October
5, 2022.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2022-0796 in the search box and click ``Search.'' Next, in the Document
Type column, select ``Supporting & Related Material.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,
call or email Petty Officer William Miller, Sector Ohio Valley, U.S.
Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Ohio Valley
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 (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 demolition is planned for the US 60
East bridge across Green River, and a date was not decided until
recently. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must
establish this safety zone by October 3, 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 is impracticable because immediate action is needed to
protect personnel and vessels from potential safety hazards associated
with the demolition of the US 60 East Green River Bridge.

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 Ohio Valley (COTP) has determined that potential
hazards associated with the bridge demolition starting October 3, 2022,
will be a safety concern for anyone within Mile Marker (MM) 7.0 to MM
9.0 of the Green River. This rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the
safety zone while the bridge is being demolished.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 6 a.m. on October 3rd,
2022, through 6 p.m. on October 31st, 2022. The safety zone will cover
all navigable waters within MM 7.0 to MM 9.0 of the Green River. The
duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in these navigable waters while the bridge is being
repaired. 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.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the temporary safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be allowed to transit safely when the closure is not in effect,
and will only be stopped for short periods while bridge demolition is
underway, as well as during cleanup of any debris fallout that may
cause a hazard to navigation. Specific dates of closure will be listed
in the Broadcast Notice to Mariners closer to the date of the
demolition.

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 will 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
temporary safety zone lasting 28 days that will prohibit entry within
MM 7.0 to MM 9.0 on the Green River, while operations involving
demolition and cleanup are underway. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(d) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination will be produced in the
docket the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to modify Rule 21.9 of Exchange's
rules and related functionality applicable to the routing options made
available by the Exchange's equity options platform (``EDGX Options'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
website at www.markets.cboe.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, 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 parts 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 proposes to modify Rule 21.9 to modify the description
of two existing routing strategies (without modifying such strategies)
and to adopt a new routing strategy. Exchange Rule 21.9 describes
various options to route orders away from EDGX Options to other options
exchanges. Rule 21.9(a)(2)(A) describes Parallel D routing as a routing
option under which an order checks the System \5\ for available
contracts and then is sent to destinations on the System routing table.
Parallel 2D is described in Rule 21.9(a)(2)(B) in the same way. To
distinguish the two options, however, Parallel D routing is described
as a routing option that may route to multiple destinations at a single
price level simultaneously whereas Parallel 2D routing is described as
a routing option that may route to multiple destinations and at
multiple price levels simultaneously. The Exchange proposes to retain
this functionality but to change the refer to the routing strategy
equivalent to both Parallel D and Parallel 2D as the ROUT routing
option and then to specify that a User \6\ may select either Route To
Improve (``RTI'') or Route To Fill (``RTF'') for the ROUT routing
option, thus capturing the distinction between the two strategies. In
other words, the RTI routing option would continue to function as the
Parallel D routing option is described (i.e., routing at a single price
level) and the RTF would continue to function as the Parallel 2D
routing option is described (i.e., routing at multiple price levels).
The proposed description is identical to and based on the description
employed for the Exchange's cash equities trading platform (``EDGX
Equities'').\7\ The Exchange does not propose any other changes to
these routing options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The ``System'' is the automated trading system used by EDGX
Options for the trading of options contracts. See Rule 16.1(a)(59).
    \6\ The term ``User'' means any Options Member or Sponsored
Participant who is authorized to obtain access to the Exchange's
System pursuant to Rule 11.3. See Rule 16.1(a)(63).
    \7\ See EDGX Rule 11.11(g)(13).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to adopt the SWPA routing option based
on a similar routing option offered with respect to EDGX Equities.
Specifically, as proposed, SWPA would be a routing option under which
an order checks the System for available contracts and then is sent to
only Protected Quotations \8\ and only for displayed size. Further, to
the extent that any portion of the routed order is unexecuted, the
remainder is posted to the EDGX Options Book at the order's limit
price, unless otherwise instructed by the User. This proposed routing
strategy is based on EDGX Rule 11.11(g)(9), and is identical except for
references to ``contracts'' instead of ``shares'' and reference to the
``EDGX Options Book'' instead of the ``EDGX Book.'' The Exchange also
has not proposed to adopt the final sentence of the routing strategy as
defined for EDGX Equities because that sentence is only necessary to
differentiate the SWPA routing strategy from the SWPB routing strategy
and the Exchange is not proposing to adopt SWPB routing for EDGX
Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The term Protected Quotation is defined in EDGX Rule
27.1(a)(19) and has the same meaning as is set forth in Regulation
NMS Rule 600(b)(58).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \9\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \10\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments
to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general to protect investors and the public
interest. The change to the references to the Parallel D and Parallel
2D routing options are intended to align the Exchange's routing
strategies between EDGX Equities and EDGX Options. As noted above,
there is no substantive change to the operation of the strategies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change also is designed to support the principles
of Section 11A(a)(1)\11\ of the Act in that it seeks to assure fair
competition among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets. In
particular, the proposed change to introduce an additional routing
strategy will provide market participants with greater flexibility in
routing orders consistent with the options market Options Order
Protection and Locked/Crossed Market Plan without developing order
routing strategies on their own. The Exchange again notes that the
proposed routing strategy is based on and substantively identical to a
routing option offered by EDGX Equities.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1).
    \12\ See EDGX Rule 11.11(g)(9).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange 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. The Exchange notes that the
proposal will further promote consistency between the Exchange's
trading platforms for EDGX Equities and EDGX Options. The Exchange does
not believe that the proposed changes will have any impact on inter-
market competition as the proposed SWPA routing strategy will be
available to all Users. The Exchange does not believe that the proposed
SWPA routing strategy will impose any burden on intra-market
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. The Exchange provides routing services in a highly
competitive market in which participants may avail themselves of a wide
variety of routing options offered by self-regulatory organizations,
other broker-dealers, market participants' own proprietary routing
systems, and service bureaus. In such an environment, system
enhancements such as the changes proposed in this rule filing do not
burden competition, because they can succeed in attracting order flow
to the Exchange only if they offer investors higher quality and better
value than services offered by others.

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

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

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

    Because the foregoing 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, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \13\ of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
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 satisfied this requirement.

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

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \15\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \16\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange
states that waiver of the 30-day operative delay would allow Exchange
Users to more quickly benefit from this proposed rule change and would
be consistent with routing options that are already available on EDGX
Equities. Based on the foregoing, the Commission believes the waiver of
the operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the
operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon filing.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \17\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposal is
consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On Friday, February 22, 2013 the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Regulated Navigation Area--
Weymouth Fore River, Fore River Bridge Construction, Weymouth and
Quincy, MA'' in the Federal Register (78 FR 12260). No comments were
received. No public meeting was requested of the Coast Guard, and none
was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The Fore River Bridge carries State Road 3A over the Weymouth Fore
River from Quincy to Weymouth MA. In the 1990's, the original Fore
River Bridge, which was built in 1936, was found to be deteriorated
beyond the point of restoration. In 2003, a temporary bridge was built,
and the old Fore River Bridge was removed. This temporary bridge will
reach the end of its useable life span in 2018, and thus, the
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Mass-DOT) is taking current
steps to have the temporary bridge removed and a new vertical
replacement bridge constructed.
    The new Fore River Bridge will be located in the approximate
location of the old Fore River Bridge. Bridge construction has already
started and is expected to be done in 2017. As explained in the NPRM
(78 FR 12260), the Coast Guard has consulted with J.F. White-Skanska
Koch, the company responsible for the bridge construction project, and
determined that certain aspects of the project will require closing the
waterway.
    Specifically, the Coast Guard anticipates that the construction
project will create serious navigational hazards over a few days in the
winter of 2014-2015 while the new bridge lift span system is delivered
and installed via barge. Also, the Coast Guard expects that the
construction project will create serious navigational hazards during
two separate four to six day periods in the fall of 2015 and the winter
of 2016 while portions of the temporary bridge are removed.
    Because of the aforementioned navigational hazards, the Coast
Guard's First District Commander has determined it necessary to
establish, pursuant to his authority under the Ports and Waterways
Safety Act, this RNA.

C. Discussion of Rule

    For all of the reasons discussed above, the Coast Guard's First
District Commander is establishing this RNA. This establishes speed,
wake, and entry restrictions on vessels in the vicinity of the Fore
River Bridge when necessary for the safety of vessels and workers
during construction work in the channel.
    This RNA will be effective until December 31, 2017. Although this
rule will be effective continuously, the RNA will be enforced only
intermittently. As discussed previously, the Coast Guard anticipates
enforcing this RNA over a few days in the winter of 2014-2015 and
during two separate periods in the fall of 2015 and the winter of 2016.
The Coast Guard may enforce this RNA during other periods when
necessary to mitigate navigational risks posed by the ongoing
construction project.
    The Coast Guard will advertise the specific times and dates over
which this RNA will be enforced in the Federal Register via a Notice of
Enforcement. Also, the Coast Guard expects to publicize the enforcement
times and dates via Local Notice to Mariners or Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.
    The RNA will include all U.S. navigable waters surrounding the
Weymouth Fore River bridge from surface to bottom, within the following
points (NAD 83): from a line extending from 42[deg]14'46.392'' N,
070[deg]58'2.964'' W, thence along a line 120[deg]T to
42[deg]14'44.376'' N, 070[deg]57'52.992'' W, thence south along the
shoreline to 42[deg]14'35.052'' N, 070[deg]57'59.364'' W, thence along
a line 291[deg]T to 42[deg]14'38.58'' N, 070[deg]58'15.348'' W, thence
north along the shoreline to the first point.
    During enforcement periods, entry into, anchoring, or movement
within the RNA, is prohibited without authority of the Coast Guard's
First District Commander, the Captain of the Port Boston (COTP), or the
COTP's designated representative. Vessel operators desiring to enter or
operate within the RNA during an enforcement period shall contact the
COTP or the designated on-scene representative via VHF channel 16 or
617-223-3201 (Sector Boston command Center) to obtain permission.
    Any vessels allowed to enter the RNA during an enforcement period
must

operate at ``Slow-No Wake'' speed, must produce no more than a minimum
wake, and must not operate at greater than three knots unless a higher
minimum speed is necessary to maintain steerageway. In no case may the
wake produced by a vessel within the RNA be such that it creates a
danger of injury to persons or damage to vessels or structures of any
kind.
    All persons and vessels permitted to operate within the RNA during
periods of enforcement must comply with all orders and directions from
the First District Commander, the COTP, or the COTP's designated
representative. Likewise, such persons and vessels must proceed as
directed when hailed by a Coast Guard vessel via siren, radio, flashing
light or other means.
    Notwithstanding anything contained in this rule, the Rules of the
Road (33 CFR part 84--Subchapter E, inland navigational rules) are
still in effect and must be strictly adhered to at all times.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) Executive Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The Coast Guard has determined that this rulemaking is not a
significant regulatory action because this RNA will only be enforced
when construction operations require such. Thus, restrictions on vessel
traffic will be limited in duration. Furthermore, the size of the RNA
was designed to minimize impact on vessel traffic, and thus, the RNA
covers only a small portion of the navigable waterways. Moreover, entry
into the RNA during enforcement periods may be authorized by the COTP
Boston or designated representative. Finally, the Coast Guard will
provide the boating public with notice of enforcement periods by
publishing a Notice of Enforcement (NOE) in the Federal Register and
through other appropriate means, such as publication in the Local
Notice to Mariners and via Broadcast Notice to Mariners. For all of
these reasons, the Coast Guard expects that this RNA will have minimal
impact on the economy, will not interfere with other agencies, will not
adversely alter the budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will
not raise any novel legal or policy issues.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entitles during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels
intending to enter, transit, anchor or moor within the regulated areas
during a vessel restriction period. However, the Coast Guard concludes
that this RNA will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for all of the reasons discussed
in the Regulatory Planning and Review section above.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

4. Collection of Information

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

5. Federalism

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

6. Protest Activities

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

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. Civil Justice Reform

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

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

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

11. Indian Tribal Governments

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

responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

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

13. Technical Standards

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

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
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 the establishment of a regulated
navigation area and thus, is categorically excluded from further review
under, paragraph 34(g) of figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are 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 rule.

    (b) Effective and Enforcement Periods. This rule is effective from
October 28, 2013 until December 31, 2017. This RNA will be enforced

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2019-0070]

Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Laydon
Composites Ltd. Application for an Exemption

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

ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA requests public comment on an application for exemption
from Laydon Composites Ltd. (Laydon) to allow motor carriers to operate
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) that are equipped with Laydon's
OptiTail\TM\ aerodynamic device with rear identification lamps and rear
clearance lamps that are mounted lower than currently permitted by the
Agency's regulations. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) require rear identification lamps and rear clearance lamps to
be located ``as close as practicable to the top of the vehicle.'' While
the OptiTail\TM\ aerodynamic device is currently mounted slightly below
the roof of the vehicle, Laydon states that this offset prevents the
device from delivering the maximum available fuel economy benefit as
opposed to mounting it flush with the top of the vehicle which may
block the visibility of the rear identification lamps and rear
clearance lamps. Laydon believes that locating the rear identification
lamps and rear clearance lamps lower on the vehicle, on a horizontal
plane with other required lamps (stop, turn, and tail lamps) as is done
on a flatbed trailer or an intermodal chassis, will maintain a level of
safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety
achieved without the exemption.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 29, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments bearing the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) Docket ID FMCSA-2019-0070 using any of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under Agency regulations, FMCSA must publish a notice of each
exemption request in the Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The
Agency must provide the public with an opportunity to inspect the
information relevant to the application, including any safety analyses
that have been conducted. The Agency must also provide an opportunity
for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305).
    The decision of the Agency must be published in the Federal
Register (49 CFR 381.315(b)). If the Agency denies the request, it must
state the reason for

doing so. If the decision is to grant the exemption, the notice must
specify the person or class of persons receiving the exemption and the
regulatory provision or provisions from which an exemption is granted.
The notice must specify the effective period of the exemption (up to 5
years) and explain the terms and conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.315(c) and 49 CFR 381.300(b)).

Laydon Application for Exemption

    Laydon, on behalf of motor carriers utilizing its OptiTail\TM\
aerodynamic devices, applied for an exemption from 49 CFR 393.11 to
allow rear identification lamps and rear clearance lamps to be mounted
lower than currently permitted by the Agency's regulations. A copy of
the application is included in the docket referenced at the beginning
of this notice.
    Table 1 of Sec.  393.11, ``Required lamps and reflectors on
commercial motor vehicles,'' specifies the requirements for lamps,
reflective devices and associated equipment by the type of CMV. All
CMVs manufactured on or after December 25, 1968, must, at a minimum,
meet the applicable requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, ``Lamps, reflective devices, and associated
equipment,'' in effect at the time of manufacture of the vehicle. Rear
identification lamps must be mounted as close as practicable to the top
of the vehicle. One lamp must be as close as practicable to the
vertical centerline and one on each side of the center lamp with the
lamp centers spaced not less than 6 inches or more than 12 inches
apart, and all on the same level. One rear clearance lamp must be
located on each side of the vertical centerline of the vehicle to
indicate overall width, both of which must be on the same level and as
high as practicable.
    Laydon is wholly owned by WABCO Europe BVBA, with headquarters in
Brussels, Belgium. Laydon and WABCO have developed a trailer
collapsible boat tail technology which improves the overall tractor
trailer aerodynamic efficiency. The OptiTail\TM\ systems, both the
fully auto and manual versions, are currently installed to the rear
doors of a CMV trailer such that the upper panels are below the
trailer's identification and clearance lamps. Laydon notes that
installing the upper panels below the identification lights--about 1.25
to 3 inches below the trailer roof--is not the ideal aerodynamic
condition, and that the upper panels could yield better aerodynamic
flow characteristics if they were mounted flush with the trailer roof.
However, mounting the upper panel of the OptiTail\TM\ system flush with
the roof will block the full view of the trailer identification and
clearance lights, in violation of section 393.11 of the FMCSRs.
    Laydon is requesting the exemption to allow trailers using its
OptiTail\TM\ system to have the required identification and clearance
lights mounted lower than currently permitted, and at the same required
location for flatbed trailers and intermodal chassis. Laydon states
that while it has conducted (1) computer simulation analysis, (2)
scaled wind tunnel testing, and (3) full scale environmental testing of
the flush roof mounted configuration, the temporary exemption is
necessary to complete actual performance testing in full environmental
conditions by various fleet operators located in multiple areas of the
U.S. and with different standard travel routes.
    In its application, Laydon states:

    The safety impact of the proposed 49 CFR 393.11 exemption would
be similar to existing CMVs already in operation, provided the
relocation or addition of lower level identification and clearance
lamps are installed on the CMV. Assuming additional lamps are
installed lower on the trailer and just not relocated, the improved
OptiTail\TM\, auto version (AutoTail), would still have the existing
centerline identification lamp and both clearance lamps visible when
the trailer is traveling at slow speeds. Our AutoTail is self-
deploying and self-retracting. The AutoTail will remain retracted
until the tractor reaches a speed of approximately 40 mph and remain
open until the tractor reduces speed to approximately 6 mph. The
AutoTail will continue to remain closed as long as the trailer does
not exceed 40 mph. As a result the current centerline identification
and clearance lights would be visible when the tractor trailer is
stopped at a traffic light or other slow speed road condition. We
are not advocating that this is sufficient to allow the exemption
without additional clearance and identification lamps installed
lower on the trailer. All CMV trailers have conspicuity materials
installed across the width of the trailer. These reflex reflectors
will still be visible with the OptiTail\TM\ deployed or retracted.
Both the two clearance and three identification lights should be
relocated or additionally added to the approximate horizontal plane
with other rear lamps. These are generally regarded as the brake and
running lamps. This location is the same as found on some CMVs, such
as flatbed trailers, with or without ``curtain sides'' and
intermodal chassis trailers. Now is the time for all good men to
come to the aid of their country.

    Laydon states that without the exemption, it will be unable to
establish and verify the maximum fuel economy and environmental impacts
of the OptiTail\TM\ system, which could have long term impacts on
meeting future greenhouse gas or California Air Resources Board fuel
economy requirements.

Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), FMCSA requests
public comment from all interested persons on Laydon's application for
an exemption from 49 CFR 393.11. All comments received before the close
of business on the comment closing date indicated at the beginning of
this notice will be considered and will be available for examination in
the docket at the location listed under the ADDRESSES section of this
notice.
    Comments received after the comment closing date will be filed in
the public docket and will be considered to the extent practicable. In
addition to late comments, FMCSA will also continue to file, in the
public docket, relevant information that becomes available after the
comment closing date. Interested persons should continue to examine the
public docket for new material.
