SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
originally manufactured for sale in the United States, certified under
49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same model year as the model of the motor
vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being readily altered to
conform to all applicable FMVSS.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR Part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
    US SPECS, LLC (``US SPECS''), of Havre de Grace, Maryland
(Registered Importer 03-321) has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether
non-U.S. certified 2000-2003 Kawasaki ZR750 motorcycles are eligible
for importation into the United States. The vehicles that US SPECS
believes are substantially similar are 2000-2003 Kawasaki ZR750
motorcycles that were manufactured for sale in the United States and
certified by their manufacturer as conforming to all applicable FMVSS.
    The petitioner claims that it carefully compared non-U.S. certified
2000-2003 Kawasaki ZR750 motorcycles to their U.S. certified
counterparts, and found the vehicles to be substantially similar with
respect to compliance with most FMVSS.
    US SPECS submitted information with its petition intended to
demonstrate that non-U.S. certified 2000-2003 Kawasaki ZR750
motorcycles, as originally manufactured, conform to many FMVSS in the
same manner as their U.S. certified counterparts, or are capable of
being readily altered to conform to those standards.
    Specifically, the petitioner claims that non-U.S. certified 2000-
2003 Kawasaki ZR750 motorcycles are identical to their U.S. certified
counterparts with respect to compliance with Standard Nos. 106 Brake
Hoses, 116 Brake Fluid, 119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles other than
Passenger Cars, and 122 Motorcycle Brake Systems.
    The petitioner further contends that the vehicles are capable of
being readily altered to meet the following standards, in the manner
indicated below:
    Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated
Equipment: Installation of the following U.S.-certified components on
vehicles not already so equipped: (a) Headlamp; (b) front and rear
side-mounted reflex reflectors; (c) rear-mounted reflex reflector; and
(d) rear turn signal lamps.
    Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors: Inspection of all vehicles, and
installation of U.S.-model mirrors on vehicles that are not already so
equipped.
    Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and Rims for Vehicles other than
Passenger Cars: Installation of a tire information placard.

    Standard No. 123 Motorcycle Controls and Displays: Installation of
a U.S.-model speedometer/odometer unit.
    Standard No. 205 Glazing Materials: Inspection of all vehicles, and
removal of noncompliant glazing or replacement of the glazing with
U.S.-certified components on vehicles that are not already so equipped.
    All comments received before the close of business on the closing
date indicated above will be considered, and will be available for
examination in the docket at the above addresses both before and after
that date. To the extent possible, comments filed after the closing
date will also be considered. Notice of final action on the petition
will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to the authority
indicated below.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8;
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2021-N-0412]

Revocation of Authorization of Emergency Use of an In Vitro
Diagnostic Device for Detection and/or Diagnosis of COVID-19;
Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
revocation of the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) (the Authorization)
issued to Abbott Diagnostics Scarborough, Inc. (Abbott) for the
BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card 2 Home Test. FDA revoked this Authorization
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The
revocation, which includes an explanation of the reasons for
revocation, is reprinted in this document.

DATES: The Authorization for the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card 2 Home Test
is revoked as of February 24, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit a written request for a single copy of the revocation
to the Office of Counterterrorism and Emerging Threats, Food and Drug
Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 1, Rm. 4338, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002. Send one self-addressed adhesive label to assist
that office in processing your request or include a Fax number to which
the revocation may be sent. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
for electronic access to the revocation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer J. Ross, Office of
Counterterrorism and Emerging Threats, Food and Drug Administration,
10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 1, Rm. 4332, Silver Spring, MD 20993-
0002,<PHONE_NUMBER> (this is not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3) as amended by the
Project BioShield Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-276) and the Pandemic and
All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 (Pub. L. 113-5)
allows FDA to strengthen the public health protections against
biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological agents. Among other
things, section 564 of the FD&C Act allows FDA to authorize the use of
an unapproved medical product or an unapproved use of an approved
medical product in certain situations. On March 31, 2021, FDA issued an
EUA to Abbott for the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card 2 Home Test, subject to
the terms of the Authorization. Notice of the issuance of this
Authorization was published in the Federal Register on July 23, 2021
(86 FR 39040), as required by section 564(h)(1) of the FD&C Act.
Subsequent updates to the Authorization were made available on FDA's
website. The authorization of a device for emergency use under section
564 of the FD&C Act may, pursuant to section 564(g)(2) of the FD&C Act,
be revoked when the criteria under section 564(c) of the FD&C Act for
issuance of such authorization are no longer met (section 564(g)(2)(B)
of the FD&C Act), or other circumstances make such revocation
appropriate to protect the public health or safety (section
564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act).

II. EUA Revocation Request

    In a request received by FDA on February 21, 2022, Abbott requested
revocation of, and on February 24, 2022, FDA revoked, the Authorization
for the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card 2 Home Test. Because Abbott notified
FDA that the EUA for BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card 2 Home Test is no longer
required and requested FDA revoke the EUA for the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag
Card 2 Home Test, FDA has determined that it is appropriate to protect
the public health or safety to revoke this Authorization.

III. Electronic Access

    An electronic version of this document and the full text of the
revocation is available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov/.

IV. The Revocation

    Having concluded that the criteria for revocation of the
Authorization under section 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act are met, FDA
has revoked the EUA of Abbott for the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card 2 Home
Test. The revocation in its entirety follows and provides an
explanation of the reasons for revocation, as required by section
564(h)(1) of the FD&C Act.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Regarding Transfer of BOX Units From the Montreal Exchange Inc. to MX
US 2, Inc.

April 25, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that

(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and

change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal effective upon filing
with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to

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

    The Exchange is submitting the proposed rule change to the
Commission to amend the Fifth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement,
dated January 26, 2005, (``BOX LLC Agreement''), of the Boston Options
Exchange Group LLC (``BOX LLC''), in connection with the transfer by
the Montreal Exchange Inc.,\5\ a company incorporated in Qu[eacute]bec,
Canada (``MX''), of its 31.37% ownership interest in BOX LLC to MX U.S.
2, Inc. (``MX US''), a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of MX.\6\ The text
of the proposed rule change is available at the BSE, the Commission's
Public Reference Room, and http://www.bostonstock.com.

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 proposal. The text of these
statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below.
The BSE has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C
below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    On January 13, 2004, the Commission approved four BSE proposals
that together established, through an operating agreement among its
owners, a Delaware limited liability company, BOX LLC, to operate the
BOX market as an options trading facility of the Exchange.\7\ MX has
transferred its 31.37% ownership interest in BOX LLC to MX US. The
Exchange is submitting the proposed rule change to the Commission to
amend the BOX LLC Agreement pursuant to the proposed Instrument of
Accession in connection with the transfer of MX's 31.37% ownership
interest in BOX LLC to MX US.\8\ As a result, MX will agree to abide by
all the provisions of the BOX LLC Agreement, including those provisions
requiring submission to the jurisdiction of the Commission.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 49066 (January 13,
2004), 69 FR 2773 (January 20, 2004) (SR-BSE-2003-17) (establishing
a fee schedule for the proposed BOX facility); 49065 (January 13,
2004), 69 FR 2768 (January 20, 2004) (SR-BSE-2003-04) (creating
Boston Options Exchange Regulation LLC to which the BSE would
delegate its self-regulatory functions with respect to the BOX
facility); 49068 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2775 (January 20, 2004)
(SR-BSE-2002-15) (approving trading rules for the BOX facility); and
49067 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2761 (January 20, 2004) (SR-BSE-
2003-19) (approving certain regulatory provisions of the BOX LLC
Agreement).
    \8\ The Exchange represented that the Instrument of Accession
was executed on April 22, 2008. See electronic mail from Lisa J.
Fall, General Counsel, BOX LLC, to Molly Kim, Special Counsel,
Division of Trading and Markets (``Division''), Commission, and
Johnna Dumler, Special Counsel, Division, Commission, dated April
22, 2008.
    \9\ The BOX LLC states, in part, that ``the Members, officers,
directors, agents, and employees of Members irrevocably submit to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal courts, U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Boston Stock Exchange,
for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding pursuant to U.S.
federal securities laws, the rules or regulations thereunder,
arising out of, or relating to, BOX activities or Article 19.6(a),
(except that such jurisdictions shall also include Delaware for any
such matter relating to the organization or internal affairs of BOX,
provided that such matter is not related to trading on, or the
regulation, of the BOX Market), and hereby waive, and agree not to
assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit,
action or proceeding, any claims that they are not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, that the suit, action or proceeding is an inconvenient
forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
improper, or that the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in
or by such courts or agency.'' See BOX LLC Agreement, Section 19.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons stated above, the BSE is submitting to the
Commission the proposed Instrument of Accession to the BOX LLC
Agreement as a rule change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(1),\11\ in particular, in that it
enables the Exchange to be so organized so as to have the capacity to
be able to carry out the purposes of the Act and to comply, and to
enforce compliance by its exchange members and persons associated with
its exchange members, with the provisions of the Act, the rules and
regulations thereunder, and the rules of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also believes that this filing furthers the objectives
of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \12\ in that it is designed to facilitate
transactions in securities, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts
and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

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

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

    Because the 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 if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30-days after the date of filing.\15\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.\16\ The Exchange has requested that
the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission
believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because the Instrument
of Accession was executed on April 22, 2008, and there is no reason to
delay implementation of the changes to the BOX LLC Agreement pursuant
to the Instrument of Accession. For these reasons, the Commission
designates the proposal to be operative upon filing with the
Commission.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the self-regulatory organization to give the
Commission notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and 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. BSE has satisfied the five-day pre-filing requirement.
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \17\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,

including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act.

for two areas of the Upper Mississippi River (UMR); three safety zones
between UMR mile 179.2 and 180.5, and one between UMR mile 839.5 to
840. These temporary safety zones are necessary to protect persons and

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency finds good cause 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 these rules because fireworks displays on or over the
navigable waterway poses safety concerns for waterway users. In this
case, the Coast Guard was not notified of the fireworks displays until
April 26, 2016 and May 16, 2016. After full review of the details for
the planned and locally advertised displays, the Coast Guard determined
action is needed to protect people and property from the safety hazards
associated with the fireworks displays on the UMR near St. Louis, MO
and St. Paul, MN. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we
must establish these safety zones by June 2 and 11, and July 3 and 4,
2016.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making the rule effective less
than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the
effective date of the rule is contrary to the public interest as it
would delay the effectiveness of the temporary safety zones needed to
respond to potential related safety hazards until after the planned
fireworks displays. This rule does provide approximately 7 to 30 days
notice for the four safety zones related to the four planned fireworks
displays on the UMR near St. Louis, MO and St. Paul, MN.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with
fireworks displays taking place on or over these sections of navigable
waterway will be a safety concern for anyone within the areas that are
designated as the safety zones. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zones during the fireworks displays.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes four safety zones as follows:
    (1) From 7:45 p.m. until 9 p.m. on June 2, 2016, for the Ribbon
Cutting Celebration for the Completion of the Riverfront Component for
the Great Rivers Greenway barge based fireworks display, all waters of
the UMR from mile 179.2 to 180;
    (2) from 9 p.m. until 11 p.m. on June 11, 2016, for the St. Louis
Brewers Guild barge based fireworks display, all waters of the UMR from
mile 179.2 to 180.5;
    (3) from 8:30 p.m. until 11 p.m. on July 3, 2016, for the Lumiere
Place July 3, 2016 barge based fireworks display, all waters of the UMR
from mile 180 to 180.5; and
    (4) from 10 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 2016, for the City of
St. Paul July 4th Celebration, all waters of the UMR from mile 839.5 to
840.
    Exact times of the closures and any changes to the planned
scheduled will be communicated to mariners using Broadcast Notices to
Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners. The safety zones are intended
to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these
navigable waters during the fireworks displays. No vessel or person
will be permitted to enter the safety zones without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the

importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs,
of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. These rules have
not been designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, they have not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
    This temporary final rule establishes four safety zones, each of
which will be enforced for a limited time period. During the
enforcement periods, vessels are prohibited from entering into or
remaining within the safety zones unless specifically authorized by the
COTP or other designated representative. Based on the locations,
limited safety zone sizes, and short duration of the enforcement
periods, these rules do not pose a significant regulatory impact.
Additionally, notice of the safety zones or any changes in the planned
schedules will be made via Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local
Notices to Mariners. Deviation from these rules may be requested from
the COTP or other designated representative and will be considered on a
case-by-case basis.

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 zones may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A. above, these rules 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 these rules. If the rules would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

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

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

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

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that the
actions are one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule involves safety zones, each lasting less than three hours that
will limit access to specific areas on the UMR. These safety zones are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination 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.

G. Protest Activities

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

information at facsimile number<PHONE_NUMBER> or email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under Section 653 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq),
FEMA is authorized to provide assistance to States based on needs
before, during and after a disaster has impacted the state. For a major
disaster, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to direct any agency to
utilize its existing authorities and resources in support of State and
local assistance response and recovery efforts. See 42 U.S.C.
5170(a)(1). For an emergency, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to
direct any agency to utilize its existing authorities and resources in
support of State and local emergency assistance efforts. See 42 U.S.C.
5192(a)(1). This information collected explains which State(s) require
assistance, what needs to be accomplished, details any resource
shortfalls, and explains what assistance is required to meet these
needs. Title 44 CFR 206.5 provides the mechanism by which FEMA collects
the information necessary to determine what resources are needed and if
a mission assignment is appropriate.

Collection of Information

    Title: Request for Federal Assistance Form--How to Process Mission
Assignments in Federal Disaster Operations.
    Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0047.
    FEMA Forms: FEMA Form 010-0-7, Resource Request Form; FEMA Form
010-0-8, Mission Assignment.
    Abstract: If, during the course of a State's response to a
disaster, the State determines that its capacity to respond exceeds its
available resources, a request to FEMA for assistance can be made. This
request documents how the response requirements exceed the capacity for
the State to respond to the situation on its own and what type of
assistance is required. FEMA reviews this information and can task
other Federal Agencies with a mission assignment to assist the State in
its response to the situation.
    Affected Public: State, local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Number of Responses: 9,620.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,453 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to entities that currently or may manufacture (including
import) a chemical substance regulated under TSCA (e.g., entities
identified under North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes 325 and 324110). The action may also be of interest to
chemical processors, distributors in commerce, and users; non-
governmental organizations in the environmental and public health
sectors; state and local government agencies; and members of the
public. The Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities and corresponding NAICS codes for entities that may be
interested in or affected by this action.

B. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is announcing the availability of and seeking public comment on
the revised document entitled ``TSCA New Chemical Determinations: A
Working Approach for Making Determinations under TSCA Section 5'' (the
``Working Approach'').

C. Why is the Agency taking this action?

    EPA expects the updated document will provide further clarity and
detail on EPA's approaches and practices related to the review of new
chemicals under TSCA, including: (1) EPA's general guiding principles
and concepts for making determinations on new chemical notices
submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5; (2) the decision-making logic
and the key questions that EPA must address; and (3) a discussion of
how EPA might apply the working approach to reach one of the five new
chemical determinations in TSCA section 5(a)(3).

D. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting Confidential Business Information (CBI). Do not
submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email.
Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be
CBI. For CBI in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside
of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within
the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In
addition to one complete version of the comment that includes
information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain
the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Background

    EPA released an initial version of the Working Approach document
for public comment in November 2017, and subsequently held a public
meeting on implementing the new chemicals program under amended TSCA on
December 14, 2017 (82 FR 51415, November 6, 2017) (FRL-9970-34). After
consideration of comments received on the 2017 version and based on
additional implementation experience, EPA updated the Working Approach.
On December 10, 2019 (84 FR 64063, November 20, 2019) (FRL-10002-09),
EPA held a public meeting to preview the document and to provide an
update on other aspects of EPA's implementation of the new chemicals
program under TSCA. EPA is now announcing the availability of the
updated Working Approach for public review and comment.
    Additional information on the TSCA amendments can be found at

Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request;
Emergency Planning and Release Notification Requirements under the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit an information collection request (ICR), ``Emergency Planning
and Release Notification Requirements under the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act.'' (EPA ICR No. 1395.09, OMB Control No.
2050-0092) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing
so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the
proposed information collection as described below. This is a proposed
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through December 31,
2015. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 18, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-2005-0008, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred

Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sicy Jacob, Office of Emergency
Management, Mail Code 5104A, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460; telephone number: (202)
564-8019; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The authority for these requirements is sections 302,
303, and 304 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11002, 11003, and 11004). EPCRA established
broad emergency planning and facility reporting requirements. Section
302 requires facilities to notify their state emergency response
commission (SERC) that the facility is subject to emergency planning.
This activity has been completed; this ICR covers only new facilities
that are subject to this requirement. Section 303 requires the local
emergency planning committees (LEPCs) to prepare emergency plans for
facilities that are subject to section 302. This activity has been also
completed; this ICR only covers any updates needed for these emergency
response plans. Section 304 requires facilities to report to SERCs and
LEPCs releases in excess

of the reportable quantities listed for each extremely hazardous
substance (EHS). This ICR also covers the notification and the written
follow-up required under this section. The implementing regulations and
the list of substances for emergency planning and emergency release
notification are codified in 40 CFR part 355.
    Form Number: There are no forms associated with this collection.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are those which have a threshold planning quantity of an
extremely hazardous substance (EHS) listed in 40 CFR part 355, Appendix
A and those which have a release of any of the EHS above a reportable
quantity. Entities more likely to be affected by this action may
include chemical manufacturers, non-chemical manufacturers, retailers,
petroleum refineries, utilities, etc.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: EPCRA Section 302 reporting is
a one-time notification unless there are changes to the reported
information; EPCRA Section 303 reporting is only when LEPC requests
information from a facility for developing or modifying the emergency
response plan; EPCRA section 304 notification is only when a release
occurs from the facility.
    Estimated number of respondents: 110,456.
    Frequency of response: This information collection is not an annual
requirement. See the section on ``Respondents obligation to respond''
in this document.
    Total estimated burden: 267,206 hours.
    Total estimated cost: $60,327 annualized O&M costs. There is no
capital costs associated with this ICR.
    Changes in Estimates: The burden hours and cost indicated in this
Federal Register Notice are from ICR 1395.08, currently approved by
OMB. EPA is requesting comments on the burden hours and costs currently
approved by OMB. The supporting statement for the ICR can be viewed at
www.regulations.gov by searching ``ICR 1395.08.''
