14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2020-1059; Airspace Docket No. 20-AGL-40]
RIN 2120-AA66

Revocation of Class E Airspace and Amendment of Class E Airspace;
Lone Rock, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revokes the Class E surface airspace at Tri-County
Regional Airport, Lone Rock, WI, and amends the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Tri-County Regional
Airport and Richland Airport, Richland Center, WI. This action is the
result of airspace reviews caused by the decommissioning of the Lone
Rock VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) navigation aid as part of the VOR
Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. The names and geographic
coordinates of the airport are also being updated to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 17, 2021. 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.

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
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 revokes the Class E surface airspace at Tri-County Regional
Airport, Lone Rock, WI, and amends the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Tri-County Regional Airport
and Richland Airport, Richland Center, WI, which is contained within
the Lone Rock, WI, airspace legal description, to support instrument
flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 75267; November 25, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-1059
to revoke the Class E surface airspace at Tri-County Regional Airport,
Lone Rock, WI, and amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Tri-County Regional Airport and Richland
Airport, Richland Center, WI. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005, respectively, 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 Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.

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

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
    Revokes the Class E surface airspace at Tri-County Regional
Airport, Lone Rock, WI, as the weather reporting and communications
requirements of FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters, are no longer being met to retain this airspace;
    Amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.5-mile (increased from a 6.4-mile) radius of
Tri-County Regional Airport, Lone Rock, WI; removes the city associated
with the airport to comply with changes in FAA Order 7400.2M; and
updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database;
    And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.4-mile (decreased from a 7.3-miles)
radius of Richland Airport, Richland Center, WI, which is contained
within the Lone Rock, WI, airspace legal description; and updates the
name (previously Richland Center Airport) and geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of airspace reviews caused by the
decommissioning of the Lone Rock VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); 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 action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The BsUFA was originally enacted in 2012 as the Biosimilar User Fee
Act under the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act
(Pub. L. 112-144) for a period of 5 years. In 2017, the BsUFA was
renewed for 5 more years under the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017
(FDARA) (BsUFA II) (Pub. L. 115-52, Title IV)). The BsUFA's intent is
to provide additional revenues so that FDA can hire staff, improve
systems, and continue a well-managed biosimilar biological product
review process to make biosimilar biological product therapies
available to patients sooner. BsUFA II was authorized to continue the
collection of user fees by FDA to facilitate and expedite the process
for the review of biosimilar biological products in the United States.
    Under BsUFA II, FDA committed to apply a new review model to
original biosimilar biologics license application (BLA) reviews. That
review model is identified in section II.B. of the BsUFA II Commitment
Letter as the Program for Enhanced Review Transparency and
Communication for Original 351(k) BLAs (the Program). The Program
provides opportunities for increased communication between FDA and
applicants, including mid-cycle and late-cycle meetings. To accommodate
the increased interaction during regulatory review, FDA's review clock
begins after the 60-day administrative filing review period for
applications reviewed under the Program. The goal of the Program is to
promote the efficiency and effectiveness of the first-cycle review
process and minimize the number of review cycles necessary for
approval, ensuring that patients have timely access to safe, effective,
and high quality biosimilar and interchangeable biological products.
    An independent evaluator is assessing the Program to understand its
effect on the review of BsUFA applications. In addition to publishing
an interim assessment on FDA's website, a public meeting will be held
on January 27, 2021, where the interim assessment will be discussed,
and public stakeholders may present their views on the Program to date.
    Additional information concerning the BsUFA--including the text of
the law, the ``Biosimilar Biological Product Reauthorization
Performance Goals and Procedures Fiscal Years 2018 through 2022'' (the
BsUFA II Commitment Letter), ``Biosimilar Authorization Performance
Goals and Procedures Fiscal Years 2013 through 2017'' (the BsUFA
Commitment Letter), key Federal Register documents, BsUFA-related
guidances, BsUFA user fee rates, performance reports, and financial
reports--may be found at https://www.fda.gov/industry/fda-user-fee-programs/biosimilar-user-fee-amendments.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Meeting

    FDA and an independent contractor will discuss the findings of the
interim assessment, including anonymized and aggregated feedback from
biosimilar BLA applicants and FDA review teams resulting from
independent contractor interviews. FDA will discuss any issues
identified to date, including any proposed plans to improve the
likelihood of the Program's success. A panel of external stakeholders
will also provide their perspective. To view the interim assessment
report, please visit here: https://www.fda.gov/industry/biosimilar-user-fee-amendments/bsufa-ii-assessment-program-enhanced-review-transparency-and-communication-biosimilar-user-fee-act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
is authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
administers the NFIP and maintains the maps that depict flood hazard
information. In 44 CFR 65.3, communities are required to submit
technical information concerning flood hazards and plans to avoid
potential flood hazards when physical changes occur. In 44 CFR 65.4,
communities are provided the right to submit technical information when
inconsistencies on maps are identified. In order to revise the Base (l-
percent annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs), Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHAs), and floodways presented on the NFIP maps, a community
must submit scientific or technical data demonstrating the need for a
revision. The NFIP regulations cited in 44 CFR part 65 outline the data
that must be submitted for these requests. This collection serves to
provide a standard format for the general information requirements
outlined in the NFIP regulations, and helps establish an organized
package of the data needed to revise NFIP maps.

Collection of Information

    Title: Revision to National Flood Insurance Program Maps:
Application Forms and Instructions for LOMRs and CLOMRs.
    Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0016.
    FEMA Forms: FEMA Form 086-0-27, Overview and Concurrence Form; FEMA

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2017-06, effective February 14, 2017 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B19
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440), Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series
700, 701, & 702), Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and
Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    [Canadian] AD CF-2013-13 was issued on 28 May 2013 [related to
FAA AD 2013-14-11, Amendment 39-17516 (78 FR 44781, July 25, 2013)
(``AD 2013-14-11'')] to mandate the introduction of an emergency
procedure to the Aeroplane Flight Manual to address the uncommanded
rudder movement.
    Since the original issue of [Canadian] AD CF-2013-13, Bombardier
Aerospace has developed a wiring modification for the yaw damper
control system to prevent uncommanded movement of the rudder [and
consequent loss of the ability to control the airplane].
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the wiring modification for the yaw
damper control system * * *.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-
0495.

Related Rulemaking

    On July 11, 2013, we issued AD 2013-14-11, applicable to all
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440),
Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702), Model CL-600-
2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet
Series 900) airplanes. That AD requires revising the airplane flight
manual by incorporating an emergency procedure for uncommanded yaw
motion. That AD was prompted by reports of airplanes experiencing
uncommanded rudder movements while in flight. That AD was issued to
advise the flightcrew of procedures to address a possible failure of
the voltage regulator inside the yaw damper actuator that could lead to
uncommanded rudder movement and consequent loss of the ability to
control the airplane.
    Since issuance of AD 2013-14-11, a wiring modification for the yaw
damper control system has been developed to prevent uncommanded rudder
movement.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-22-017, Revision C,
dated May 11, 2016; and Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-22-007,
Revision A, dated February 16, 2016. This service information describes
procedures for modifying the wiring harness of the yaw damper control
system. These documents are distinct since they apply to different
airplane models. This service information is reasonably available
because the interested parties have access to it through their normal
course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,006 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
             Action                   Labor cost          Parts cost       Cost per product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wiring modification.............  5 work-hours x $85  Up to $39.........  Up to $464........  Up to $466,784.
                                   per hour = $425.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

RIN 1625-AA87

Security Zones; 2012 RNC Bridge Security Zones, Captain of the
Port St. Petersburg Zone, Tampa, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing fifteen temporary security
zones around certain bridges on the waters of Pinellas County and Tampa
Bay, Florida, during the 2012 Republican National Convention, from
August 25, 2012, to August 31, 2012. The security zones are necessary
to protect convention delegates, official parties, dignitaries, the
public, and surrounding waterways from terrorist acts, sabotage or
other subversive acts, accidents, or other causes of a similar nature,
intended to harm people, damage property, or disrupt the proceedings of
the 2012 Republican National Convention. All persons and vessels are
prohibited from loitering, anchoring, stopping, or mooring on waters
within 50 yards of the designated bridges during the times that the
security zones will be enforced for each bridge. Expeditious transiting
through the security zones is authorized.
    This rule establishes security zones around the following bridges:
the Gandy Bridge; Howard Franklin Bridge; Courtney Campbell Causeway
Bridge; the Clearwater Memorial Causeway (60); Sand Key Bridge (699);
Belleair Causeway Bridge; Walsingham Rd Bridge (688); Park Blvd. (co Rd
694); Welch Causeway (Tom Stuart Causeway/150th Ave); Seminole Bridge
(Bay Pines Blvd./19/595); Johns Pass Bridge (Gulf Blvd./699); Treasure
Island Causeway (Central Ave); Corey Causeway (Pasadena Ave); Blind
Pass Bridge (699); and Pinellas Bayway Structures A, B, and C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the Coast Guard did not receive
notice of the need to establish these security zones until July 18,
2012. As a result, the Coast Guard did not have sufficient time to
publish an NPRM and to receive public comments prior to implementation
of the security zones. Any delay in the effective date of this rule
would be contrary to the public interest because immediate action is
needed to minimize potential danger to the convention delegates,
official parties, dignitaries, the public, and surrounding waterways.
    For the same reason discussed above, 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.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish regulated navigation areas and other limited access areas: 33
U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191,
195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116
Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of this rule is to protect convention delegates,
official parties, dignitaries, the public, and surrounding waterways
from terrorist acts, sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents, or
other causes of a similar nature, intended to harm people, damage
property, or disrupt the proceedings of the 2012 Republican National
Convention.

C. Discussion of Rule

    The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has designated
the 2012 Republican National Convention as a National Special Security
Event. National Special Security Events are significant events, which,
due to their political, economic, social, or religious

significance, may render them particularly attractive targets of
terrorism or other criminal activity. The Federal government provides
support, assistance, and resources to state and local governments to
ensure public safety and security during National Special Security
Events.
    Numerous Federal, State, and local agencies, including the U.S.
Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Customs and Border
Protection, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Joint Terrorism Task Force, have
developed comprehensive security plans to protect participants and the
public during the Republican National Convention. As part of the
comprehensive effort, the maritime security objective is to protect
Convention participants, the maritime transportation system, and
maritime stakeholders, including recreational boaters, from threats and
security vulnerabilities. The Coast Guard and other Federal, State, and
local agencies involved in security for the 2012 Republican National
Convention have conducted threat, vulnerability, and risk analyses
relating to the event.
    The convention is expected to draw widespread protests by persons
dissatisfied with national policy, foreign policy, and the Republican
Party agenda. This politically-oriented event has the potential to
attract anarchists and others persons intent on expressing their
opposition through violence and criminal activity. The convention also
may present an attractive target for terrorist and extremist
organizations. Current analysis indicates that some activist groups are
planning maritime activities to make their political views known.
    Maritime security vulnerabilities during the 2012 Republican
National Convention extend beyond the Convention site and include
secondary venues throughout the Tampa Bay area. The geography of the
Tampa Bay region makes these fifteen bridges a vital component of the
regional transportation network. Dignitaries, delegates, and
participants at the Convention will be required to travel across these
bridges to reach secondary venue locations. Further, dignitaries,
delegates, and participants in the Republican National Convention will
be staying at numerous hotels in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and other
areas. This will require those persons to make daily transits across
the bridges spanning Tampa Bay and the Inter-Coastal Waterway to attend
the Convention and associated events.
    These fifteen security zones, developed in conjunction with
comprehensive security planning and actions by other agencies, will
assist in the safe and secure transportation of dignitaries and
delegates to the Convention. In addition, the security zones will
prevent disruption of these vital components of the region's
transportation network that may be caused by violent protesters and
other groups drawn to this event. In addition, the security zones will
prevent persons from using the bridges and surrounding waters to stop
or impede maritime traffic during the event.
    The security zones and accompanying security measures have been
specifically developed to mitigate the threats and vulnerabilities
identified in the analysis discussed above. Security measures have been
limited to the minimum necessary to mitigate risks associated with the
identified threats.
    This rule will establish temporary security zones around fifteen
bridges in the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg area during the 2012
Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. This rule is
effective from 12:01 p.m. on Saturday, August 25, 2012, through 1:00
a.m. on Friday, August 31, 2012.
    All persons and vessels are prohibited from loitering, anchoring,
stopping, or mooring under or within 50 yards of either side of the
designated bridges. Expeditious transiting through the security zones
is authorized. The security zones will be enforced 24-hours a day for
the Gandy Bridge, Howard Franklin Bridge, and Courtney Campbell
Causeway Bridge.
    The remaining security zones will be established around: The
Clearwater Memorial Causeway (60); Sand Key Bridge (699); Belleair
Causeway Bridge; Walsingham Rd Bridge (688); Park Blvd.(co Rd 694);
Welch Causeway (Tom Stuart Causeway/150th Ave); Seminole Bridge (Bay
Pines Blvd./19/595); Johns Pass Bridge (Gulf Blvd./699); Treasure
Island Causeway (Central Ave); Corey Causeway (Pasadena Ave); Blind
Pass Bridge (699); and Pinellas Bayway Structures A, B, and C. These
security zones will be enforced for other bridges as follows:

Sunday, August 26: 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.;
Monday, August 27: 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.;
Tuesday, August 28: 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.;
Wednesday, August 29: 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.; and
Thursday, August 30: 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

    A Port Community Information Bulletin (PCIB) will be distributed by
Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg. The PCIB will be available on the
Coast Guard Internet web portal at http://homeport.uscg.mil. PCIBs are
located under the Port Directory tab in the Safety and Security Alert
links. The Coast Guard will provide notice of the security zones by
Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, public
outreach, and on-scene designated representatives.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of 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, and does not require an
assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of
Executive Order 12866 or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The
Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The security zone will be effective for only six
days; (2) although persons and vessels are prohibited from remaining or
anchoring within the security zones during the effective dates, normal
navigational transits will be authorized; and (3) vessels may operate
in the area outside the security zones during the effective period.

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 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.
    This rule would affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
anchor or remain in any of the fifteen security zones during the
effective periods described in the rule. These security zones would not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities for 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.
    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.

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 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 determined
that this rule 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 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 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

    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 might
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 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 the establishment of fifteen temporary
security zones. This rule is 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.
