Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Applications for Private Aids to Navigation and for Class
I Private Aids to Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed
Structures.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0011.
    Summary: Under the provision of 14 U.S.C. 83, the Coast Guard is
authorized to establish aids to navigation. 14 U.S.C. 83 prohibits
establishment of aids to navigation without permission of the Coast
Guard. 33 CFR 66.01-5 provides a means for private individuals to
establish privately maintained aids to navigation. Under 43 U.S.C.
1333, the Coast Guard has the authority to promulgate and enforce
regulations concerning lights and other warning devices relating to the
promotion of safety of life and property on artificial islands,
installations, and other devices on the outer continental shelf
involved in the exploration, development, removal, or transportation of
resources there from. 33 CFR 67.35-1 prescribes the type of aids to
navigation that must be installed on artificial islands and fixed
structures.
    To obtain approval to establish a private aid to navigation,
applicants must submit either CG-2554 (Private Aids to Navigation
Application) or CG-4143 (Application for Class 1 Private Aids to
Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed Structures). The forms
collect information about the private aid to navigation (type, color,
and geographic position), charts or sketches of the desired location,
copies of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permits, and the applicant's
contact information. The information collected for the rule can only be
obtained from the owners of permitted private aids to navigation. The
information collection requirements are contained in 33 CFR 66.01-5 and
67.35-5.
    Need: The information on these private aid applications (CG-2554
and CG-4143) provides the Coast Guard with vital information about
private aids to navigation and is essential for safe marine navigation.
These forms are required under 33 CFR parts 66 & 67. The information is
processed to ensure the private aid is in compliance with current
regulations. Additionally, these forms provide the Coast Guard with
information which can be distributed to the public to advise of new or
changes to regulations to private aids to navigation.
    Forms: CG-2554 and CG-4143.
    Respondents: Owners of private aids to navigation.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 3,000
hours to 2,000 hours a year due to a decrease in the average annual
number of respondents.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: June 3, 2014.
Marshall B. Lytle,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,
Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2013-0455; FRL-9903-17-Region 4]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee;
Revisions to the Knox County Portion of the Tennessee State
Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Tennessee, through the Tennessee Department
of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) on December 13, 2012. EPA
proposed action on this revision on August 16, 2013, and received no
adverse comments. The SIP submittal revises the definition of
``Modification'' in Knox County Air Quality Management Regulation
Section 13 Definitions. TDEC considers Knox County's SIP revision to be
as or more stringent than the Tennessee SIP requirements. EPA is
approving the Knox County SIP revision because the State has
demonstrated that it is consistent with the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

DATES: This rule will be effective December 30, 2013.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2013-0455. All documents in the docket
are listed on the www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the
index, some information is not publicly available, i.e., Confidential
Business Information or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. This Action
II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. This Action

    On December 13, 2012, TDEC submitted a SIP revision to EPA for
approval into the Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP.
Specifically, the

December 13, 2012, SIP revises the definition of ``Modification'' in
Knox County Regulation, section 13.0--Definitions. The additions of
subparagraphs E and F to the definition of ``Modification'' allows the
local permit program authority to provide adequate, streamlined, and
reasonable procedures for expeditiously processing permit changes by
excluding certain modifications from construction permitting. The
addition of subparagraph E provides that certain modifications
(physical/method of operation) at major sources that are not considered
Title I modifications do not require construction permits. The addition
at subparagraph F establishes criteria for which a physical change or
change in the method of operation for a minor source does not need a
construction permit.
    EPA proposed approval of Tennessee's December 13, 2012, submission
on August 16, 2013 (78 FR 49990), and received no adverse comments on
its proposed action.

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving the aforementioned change to the Knox County
portion of the Tennessee SIP, because it is consistent with EPA policy
and the CAA.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country, and EPA notes that it
will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by January 28, 2014. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

Security.

ACTION: 30-Day notice of renewal and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will

submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. FEMA, as part of
its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public to take this opportunity to comment on an
extension without change of a currently approved information
collection. This notice seeks comments concerning a list of hotels,
motels, and similar places of public accommodations meeting minimum
fire-safety requirements. The information collected is voluntary and if
approved for listing, the lodging establishment may be used by Federal
employees on government related travel and for Federal agency
conferences. As the list is open to use by the public, non-government
travelers may use the list to identify lodging meeting minimum life-
safety criteria from fire.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 2, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection should be made to Director,
Information Management Division, 500 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,

Administration at [email protected] or<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990
(Pub. L. 101-391) requires FEMA to establish and maintain a list of
hotels, motels, and similar places of public accommodation meeting
minimum requirements for protection of life from fire. This list is
known as the National Master List (NML). This law resulted from a
series of deadly fires in hotels and motels, occurring in the late 70's
and 80's, with high loss of life. The legislative intent of this public
law is to provide all travelers the assurance of fire-safety in
accommodations identified on the NML. The Act further stipulates that
Federal employees on official travel stay in properties approved by the
authority having jurisdiction and listed on the current NML. For
statutory reference see 15 U.S.C. 2224-26.
    This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on July 22, 2021, at 86 FR 38733 with a 60-day public
comment period. No comments were received. The purpose of this notice
is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information
collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for
review and clearance.
