ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9958-58-OAR]

Minor Revisions to AP-42 Section 13.5: Industrial Flares

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final action.

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

SUMMARY: On December 14, 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) issued minor revisions to AP-42 Section 13.5: Industrial Flares.
AP-42 is the primary compilation of the EPA's emissions factor
information. The EPA finalized these revisions in compliance with a
settlement agreement entered into with Air Alliance Houston, Community
In-Power and Development Association, Inc., Louisiana Bucket Brigade,
and Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (``Plaintiffs'').

ADDRESSES: You may view this final action and the supporting
information

electronically at: https://www.epa.gov/air-emissions-factors-and-quantification/new-and-revised-emissions-factors-flares-and-new-emissions.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Gerri Garwood, Measurement Policy
Group (MPG), Sector Policies and Programs Division (D243-05), Office of
Air Quality Planning and Standards, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711, telephone number:
(919) 541-2406; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; and email address:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As described above, the EPA finalized these
actions to fulfill its obligations under a settlement agreement, which
resolves a petition for judicial review on actions the EPA took on
April 20, 2015. On April 20, 2015, the EPA issued new and revised
emissions factors for flares and other refinery process units and
issued its final determination that revisions to existing emissions
factors for tanks and wastewater treatment systems were not necessary
in order to fulfill its obligations under a consent decree. Plaintiffs
alleged that the EPA failed to perform nondiscretionary duties pursuant
to Clean Air Act (CAA) section 130 to review, and, if necessary, revise
the emissions factors for volatile organic compounds (VOC) for flares,
liquid storage tanks (``tanks''), and wastewater collection, treatment
and storage systems (``wastewater treatment systems'') at least once
every 3 years. See Air Alliance Houston, et al. v. EPA, Case No. 15-
1210 (D.C. Cir.) and Air Alliance Houston, et al. v. McCarthy, No.
1:13-cv-00621-KBJ (D.D.C.).
    The settlement agreement outlined 20 specific Source Classification
Codes (SCCs) that Plaintiffs argued should be included in Tables 13.5-1
and 13.5-2 of AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors. AP-
42 is the primary compilation of EPA's emissions factor information.
Additionally, Plaintiffs sought minor clarifications to the text in
Section 13.5 of AP-42, as well as an update to the VOC emissions factor
due to errors in the original calculation.
    Per the requirements of the settlement agreement, this final action
was issued by December 16, 2016. To support this action, we developed a
memorandum to document our determinations in regards to the 20 SCCs
specified in the settlement agreement. We also revised section 13.5 of
AP-42, the supporting background documentation, and the previously
issued report, Review of Emissions Test Reports for Emissions Factors
Development for Flares and Certain Refinery Operations. The SCC
determination memorandum and the revised report, along with a link to
the updated section in AP-42 and supporting background documentation,
were posted on the Web site listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document on December 14, 2016.
    These actions constitute final agency action of national
applicability for purposes of section 307(b)(1) of the CAA. Pursuant to
CAA section 307(b)(1), judicial review of these final agency actions
may be sought only in the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit. Petitions for review must be filed by
March 24, 2017. Judicial review of these final agency actions may not
be obtained in subsequent proceedings, pursuant to CAA section
307(b)(2). These actions are not a rulemaking and are not subject to
the various statutory and other provisions applicable to a rulemaking.

Applicants' Representations

    1. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is
registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company.
The Trust currently offers 18 series (each, a ``Fund'') and may offer
additional Funds in the future.\1\ Each existing Fund operates as an
actively-managed exchange-traded fund in reliance on previously-granted
exemptive orders.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants also request relief with respect to future Funds
and any other existing or future registered open-end management
investment company or series thereof that (a) is advised by the
Advisor or an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the Advisor or its successors (each such entity
included in the term ``Advisor''); (b) uses the multi-manager
structure described in the application; and (c) complies with the
terms and conditions of the application (included in the term
``Funds''). Every existing entity that currently intends to rely on
the requested order is named as an applicant. For purposes of the
requested order, ``successor'' is limited to an entity or entities
that result from a reorganization into another jurisdiction or a
change in the type of business organization. If the name of any Fund
contains the name of a Sub-Advisor (as defined below), the name of
the Advisor, or a trademark or trade name that is owned by the
Advisor, will precede the name of the Sub-Advisor.
    \2\ AdvisorShares Investments, LLC and AdvisorShares Trust,
Investment Company Act Release Nos. 29264 (May 6, 2010) (notice) and
29291 (May 28, 2010) (order); and AdvisorShares Investments, LLC and
AdvisorShares Trust, Investment Company Act Release Nos. 28568 (Dec.
23, 2008) (notice) and 28822 (Jul. 20, 2009) (order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. The Advisor, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered
as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the
``Advisers Act''). The Advisor serves as the investment adviser to each
of the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the
Trust, with respect to each Fund (the ``Investment Advisory
Agreement''). The Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by the
Trust's board of trustees (the ``Board''),\3\ including a majority of
the trustees who are not ``interested persons,'' as defined in section
2(a)(19) of the Act (the ``Independent Trustees''), and by the initial
shareholder of each Fund in the manner required by sections 15(a) and
15(c) of the Act and rule 18f-2 under the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The term ``Board'' also includes the board of trustees or
directors of a future Trust and future Fund, if different.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the
Advisor, subject to the oversight of the Board, manages the investment
operations and determines the composition of the portfolio of each
Fund, including the purchase, retention and disposition of the
securities and other instruments held by the Fund, in accordance with
the investment objectives and policies of the Fund. For its services to
each Fund, the Advisor receives a fee from that Fund as specified in
the Investment Advisory Agreement computed as a percentage of the
Fund's average daily net assets. The Investment Advisory Agreement also
permits the Advisor, subject to the approval of the Board, including a
majority of the Independent Trustees, and the shareholders of the
applicable Fund (if required by applicable law), to engage one or more
unaffiliated investment sub-advisers (``Sub-Advisors'') to manage all
or a portion of the assets of any Fund. The Advisor has entered into
subadvisory agreements (``Sub-Advisory Agreements'') with various Sub-
Advisors to provide investment advisory services to the Funds.\4\ Each
Sub-Advisor is, and each future Sub-Advisor will be, an ``investment
adviser'' as defined in section 2(a)(20)(B) of the Act, as well as
registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. The Advisor
will evaluate, select and recommend Sub-Advisors to the Board, monitor
and evaluate each Sub-Advisor's investment program, and review each
Fund's compliance with its investment objective, policies and
restrictions. The Advisor also will recommend to the Board whether Sub-
Advisory Agreements should be renewed, modified or terminated. The
Advisor currently compensates each Sub-Advisor out of the fee paid by a
Fund to the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. However,
applicants note that future arrangements with one or more Sub-Advisors
may be implemented whereby a Fund compensates a Sub-Advisor directly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Currently, the Advisor has entered into Sub-Advisory
Agreements with the following Sub-Advisors: Accuvest Global
Advisors, WCM Investment Management, Cambria Investment Management,
L.P., Peritus I Asset Management, LLC, Ranger Alternative
Management, L.P., Madrona Funds, LLC, American Wealth Management,
Trim Tabs Asset Management, LLC, Rockledge Advisors, LLC, Your
Source Financial, PLC, Baldwin Brothers Inc., Community Capital
Management Inc., First Affirmative Financial Network LLC, Reynders,
McVeigh Capital Management, LLC, Commerce Asset Management, LLC,
Partnervest Advisory Services, LLC, Pring Turner Capital Group,
Newfleet Asset Management, LLC, and Treesdale Partners LLC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. Applicants request an order to permit the Funds, subject to
Board approval, to engage Sub-Advisors to manage all or a portion of
the assets of a Fund pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement and
materially amend Sub-Advisory Agreements without obtaining shareholder
approval. The requested relief will not extend to any Sub-Advisor that
is an affiliated person, as defined in section 2(a)(3) of the Act, of a
Fund or the Advisor, other than by reason of serving as Sub-Advisor to
a Fund (``Affiliated Sub-Advisor'').
    5. Applicants also request an order exempting each Fund from
certain disclosure provisions described below that may require the
Funds to disclose fees paid by the Advisor or a Fund to each Sub-
Advisor. Applicants seek an order to permit each Fund to disclose (as a
dollar amount and a percentage of

a Fund's net assets) only: (a) the aggregate fees paid to the Advisor
and any Affiliated Sub-Advisors; and (b) the aggregate fees paid to
Sub-Advisors other than Affiliated Sub-Advisors (collectively, the
``Aggregate Fee Disclosure''). A Fund that employs an Affiliated Sub-
Advisor will provide separate disclosure of any fees paid to the
Affiliated Sub-Advisor.
    6. The Funds will inform shareholders of the hiring of a new Sub-
Advisor pursuant to the following procedures (``Modified Notice and
Access Procedures''): (a) within 90 days after a new Sub-Advisor is
hired for any Fund, that Fund will send its shareholders either a
Multi-manager Notice or a Multi-manager Notice and Multi-manager
Information Statement; \5\ and (b) the Fund will make the Multi-manager
Information Statement available on the Web site identified in the
Multi-manager Notice no later than when the Multi-manager Notice (or
Multi-manager Notice and Multi-manager Information Statement) is first
sent to shareholders, and will maintain it on that Web site for at
least 90 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ A ``Multi-manager Notice'' will be modeled on a Notice of
Internet Availability as defined in rule 14a-16 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act''), and specifically will,
among other things: (a) Summarize the relevant information regarding
the new Sub-Advisor; (b) inform shareholders that the Multi-manager
Information Statement is available on a Web site; (c) provide the
Web site address; (d) state the time period during which the Multi-
manager Information Statement will remain available on that Web
site; (e) provide instructions for accessing and printing the Multi-
manager Information Statement; and (f) instruct the shareholder that
a paper or email copy of the Multi manager Information Statement may
be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Funds.
    A ``Multi-manager Information Statement'' will meet the
requirements of Regulation 14C, Schedule 14C and Item 22 of Schedule
14A under the Exchange Act for an information statement, except as
modified by the requested order to permit Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
Multi-manager Information Statements will be filed electronically
with the Commission via the EDGAR system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applicants' Legal Analysis

    1. Section 15(a) of the Act provides, in relevant part, that it is
unlawful for any person to act as an investment adviser to a registered
investment company except pursuant to a written contract that has been
approved by the vote of a majority of the company's outstanding voting
securities. Rule 18f-2 under the Act provides that each series or class
of stock in a series investment company affected by a matter must
approve that matter if the Act requires shareholder approval.
    2. Form N-1A is the registration statement used by open-end
investment companies. Item 19(a)(3) of Form N-1A requires disclosure of
the method and amount of the investment adviser's compensation.
    3. Rule 20a-1 under the Act requires proxies solicited with respect
to a registered investment company to comply with Schedule 14A under
the Exchange Act. Items 22(c)(1)(ii), 22(c)(1)(iii), 22(c)(8) and
22(c)(9) of Schedule 14A, taken together, require a proxy statement for
a shareholder meeting at which the advisory contract will be voted upon
to include the ``rate of compensation of the investment adviser,'' the
``aggregate amount of the investment adviser's fees,'' a description of
the ``terms of the contract to be acted upon,'' and, if a change in the
advisory fee is proposed, the existing and proposed fees and the
difference between the two fees.
    4. Regulation S-X sets forth the requirements for financial
statements required to be included as part of a registered investment
company's registration statement and shareholder reports filed with the
Commission. Sections 6-07(2)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation S-X require
a registered investment company to include in its financial statement
information about the investment advisory fees.
    5. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any person, security, or transaction or any class or classes of
persons, securities, or transactions from any provisions of the Act, or
from any rule thereunder, if such exemption is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest and consistent with the protection of investors
and the purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the
Act. Applicants state that the requested relief meets this standard for
the reasons discussed below.
    6. Applicants assert that the shareholders expect the Advisor,
subject to the review and approval of the Board, to select the Sub-
Advisors who are best suited to achieve the Fund's investment
objective. Applicants assert that, from the perspective of the
shareholder, the role of the Sub-Advisor is substantially equivalent to
the role of the individual portfolio managers employed by traditional
investment company advisory firms. Applicants state that requiring
shareholder approval of each Subadvisory Agreement would impose
unnecessary delays and expenses on the Funds, and may preclude the Fund
from acting promptly when the Board and the Advisor believe that a
change would benefit a Fund and its shareholders. Applicants note that
the Investment Advisory Agreement and any Sub-Advisory Agreement with
an Affiliated Sub-Advisor (if any) will continue to be subject to the
shareholder approval requirements of section 15(a) of the Act and rule
18f-2 under the Act.
    7. Applicants assert that the requested disclosure relief would
benefit shareholders of the Funds because it would improve the
Advisor's ability to negotiate the fees paid to Sub-Advisors.
Applicants state that the Advisor may be able to negotiate rates that
are below a Sub-Advisor's ``posted'' amounts, if the Advisor is not
required to disclose the Sub-Advisors' fees to the public. Applicants
submit that the requested relief will encourage Sub-Advisors to
negotiate lower subadvisory fees with the Advisor if the lower fees are
not required to be made public.

Applicants' Conditions

    Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief will
be subject to the following conditions: \6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Applicants will only comply with conditions 11, 12, 13, and
14 if they rely on the relief that would allow them to provide
Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. Before a Fund may rely on the order, the operation of the Fund
in the manner described in the application will be approved by a
majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities, as defined in the
Act, or, in the case of a Fund whose public shareholders purchase
shares on the basis of a prospectus containing the disclosure
contemplated by condition 2 below, by the initial shareholder(s) before
offering the Fund's shares to the public.
    2. Each Fund that relies on the order will disclose in its
prospectus the existence, substance, and effect of the order. Each Fund
relying on the order will hold itself out to the public as utilizing
the manager of managers structure described in the application. The
prospectus will prominently disclose that the Advisor has ultimate
responsibility (subject to oversight by the Board) to oversee the Sub-
Advisors and recommend their hiring, termination, and replacement.
    3. Each Fund will inform shareholders of the hiring of a new Sub-
Advisor within 90 days after the hiring of the new Sub-Advisor pursuant
to the Modified Notice and Access Procedures.
    4. The Advisor will not enter into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with
any Affiliated Sub-Advisor without such agreement, including the
compensation to be paid thereunder, being approved by the shareholders
of the applicable Fund.
    5. At all times, at least a majority of the Board will be
Independent Trustees, and the nomination of new or additional
Independent Trustees will be at the discretion of the then-existing
Independent Trustees.

    6. Whenever a Sub-Advisor change is proposed for a Fund with an
Affiliated Sub-Advisor, the Board, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees, will make a separate finding, reflected in the
applicable Board minutes, that such change is in the best interests of
such Fund and its shareholders and does not involve a conflict of
interest from which the Advisor or an Affiliated Sub-Advisor derives an
inappropriate advantage.
    7. The Advisor will provide general management services to each
Fund relying on the order, including overall supervisory responsibility
for the general management and investment of the Fund's assets and,
subject to review and approval by the Board, will: (a) set the Fund's
overall investment strategies; (b) evaluate, select and recommend Sub-
Advisors to provide purchase and sale recommendations to the Advisor or
investment advice to all or a portion of the Fund's assets; (c)
allocate and, when appropriate, reallocate the Fund's assets among
multiple Sub-Advisors; (d) monitor and evaluate the Sub-Advisors'
performance; and (e) implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure
that Sub-Advisor(s) comply with the relevant Fund's investment
objectives, policies and restrictions.
    8. No trustee or officer of a Fund relying on the order or director
or officer of the Advisor will own directly or indirectly (other than
through a pooled investment vehicle that is not controlled by such
person) any interest in a Sub-Advisor except for (a) ownership of
interests in the Advisor or any entity that controls, is controlled by
or is under common control with the Advisor; or (b) ownership of less
than 1% of the outstanding securities of any class of equity or debt of
a publicly traded company that is either a Sub-Advisor or an entity
that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a Sub-
Advisor.
    9. For any Fund that utilizes a Sub-Advisor and pays fees to a Sub-
Advisor directly from Fund assets, any changes to a Sub-Advisory
Agreement that would result in an increase in the total management and
advisory fees payable by that Fund will be required to be approved by
the shareholders of the Fund.
    10. In the event the Commission adopts a rule under the Act
providing substantially similar relief to that requested in the
application, the requested order will expire on the effective date of
that rule.
    11. Each Fund relying on the order will disclose in its
registration statement the Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
    12. Independent legal counsel, as defined in rule 0-1(a)(6) under
the Act, will be engaged to represent the Independent Trustees. The
selection of such counsel will be within the discretion of the then-
existing Independent Trustees.
    13. The Advisor will provide the Board, no less frequently than
quarterly, with information about the profitability of the Advisor on a
per-Fund basis for each Fund relying on the order. The information will
reflect the impact on profitability of the hiring or termination of any
Sub-Advisor during the applicable quarter.
    14. Whenever a Sub-Advisor is hired or terminated, the Advisor will
provide the Board with information showing the expected impact on the
profitability of the Advisor.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-11001-01-OA]

Public Meeting of the Science Advisory Board Biosolids Panel

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory
Board (SAB) Staff Office is announcing a public meeting of the Science
Advisory Board Biosolids Panel. The purpose of the meeting is to review
and discuss the panel's draft report on the EPA's biosolid risk
assessment framework.

DATES:
    Public Meeting: The Science Advisory Board Biosolids Panel will
meet on July 5, 2023, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
    Comments: See the section titled ``Procedures for Providing Public
Input'' under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for instructions and deadlines.

ADDRESSES: The July 5, 2023, meeting will be conducted virtually.
Please refer to the SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov for information
on how to attend the meeting.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public who wants
further information concerning this notice may contact Dr. Shaunta
Hill-Hammond, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), via telephone (202)
564-3343, or email at [email protected]. General information
about the SAB, as well as any updates concerning the meetings announced
in this notice, can be found on the SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The SAB was established pursuant to the Environmental
Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDDAA),
codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the EPA Administrator on the scientific and
technical basis for agency positions and regulations. The SAB is a
Federal Advisory Committee chartered under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. app. 2. The SAB will comply with the
provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural
policies. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that
the Science Advisory Board Biosolids Panel will hold a public meeting
to review and discuss the Panel's draft report on the EPA's biosolid
risk assessment framework.
    Availability of Meeting Materials: All meeting materials, including
the agenda, will be available on the SAB web page at https://sab.epa.gov.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees and panels has a
different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices.
Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory
committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to the EPA.
Members of the public can submit relevant comments pertaining to the
committee's charge or meeting materials. Input from the public to the
SAB will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or
technical information or analysis for the SAB to consider or if it
relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical information.
Members of the public wishing to provide comments should follow the
instructions below to submit comments.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation at a meeting conducted virtually will be limited to
three minutes. Each person making an oral statement should consider
providing written comments as well as their oral statement so that the
points presented orally can be expanded upon in writing. Persons
interested in providing oral statements should contact the DFO, in
writing (preferably via email) at the contact information noted under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, by June 28, 2023, to be placed on the
list of registered speakers.
    Written Statements: Written statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for timely consideration by SAB members,
statements should be submitted to the DFO by June 28, 2023, for
consideration at the July 5, 2023, meeting. Written statements should
be supplied to the DFO at the contact information above via email.
Submitters are requested to provide an unsigned version of each
document because the SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with
signatures on its websites. Members of the public should be aware that
their personal contact information if included in any written comments,
may be posted to the SAB website. Copyrighted material will not be
posted without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities, please contact the DFO, at the contact
information noted above, preferably at least ten days before the
meeting, to give the EPA as much time as possible to process your
request.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0077]
RIN 1625-AA11

Regulated Navigation Area; Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Slip,
Miami Beach, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a Regulated Navigation Area
over certain navigable waters of the Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Slip,
immediately west of the Coast Guard Base Miami Beach, Miami Beach, FL.
This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life and federal
property on

this navigable water. This rulemaking will require all persons and
vessels to transit the Regulated Navigation Area at a speed that
creates minimum wake, seven miles per hour or less, to safeguard damage
to Coast Guard assets, disrupting operations, and/or injuring Coast
Guard personnel. Additionally, this rulemaking will prohibit vessels
from passing other vessels making way within the regulated area.

DATES: Effective December 22, 2021.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    In October 2020, the Fisher Island Ferry Communities Association
relocated its ferry terminal to the Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Slip
(Slip), west of the Coast Guard Base Miami Beach, Miami Beach, FL. The
Slip is the primary terminal for the movement of residents, workers,
and goods from Terminal Island to Fisher Island. Prior to October 2020,
maritime traffic in the Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Basin (Basin) was
limited in scope to occasional private yachts and Coast Guard assets.
The addition of ferry traffic at the Slip has resulted in a substantial
increase in maritime traffic in the Basin. The Basin has a length of
approximately 380 yards and a width of approximately 97 yards. The
increase in traffic, particularly of the Fisher Island Ferry, presents
a hazard to Coast Guard assets operating in the Basin as the ferries
occasionally pass within the Basin, dangerously close to Coast Guard
assets. Additionally, and particularly when passing within the Basin,
the ferries create a disrupting, and at times dangerous wake, adversely
affecting Coast Guard routine operations and personnel. The passing
maneuvers and resultant wake also create hazardous conditions during
certain cutter operations, such as onloading and offloading of
ammunition or refueling. The Coast Guard's Seventh District Commander
has determined the increased ferry traffic, passing maneuvers, and
resultant wake presents a safety and operational concern to Coast Guard
personnel and assets moored in the Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Basin.
    In response, on April 14, 2021, the Coast Guard published a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled, ``Regulated Navigation Area:
Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Slip, Miami Beach, FL'' (86 FR 19599).
There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our
proposed regulatory action related to this Regulated Navigation Area.
During the comment period that ended May 14, 2021, we received 0
comments.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The Coast Guard's Seventh District Commander has determined that
potential hazards associated with the increased maritime traffic in the
Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Basin (Basin), where ferries occasionally
pass within the Basin dangerously close to Coast Guard assets, is a
safety and operational concern. The purpose of this regulation is to
ensure navigational safety, protection of Coast Guard assets and
personnel, and to facilitate safe execution of Coast Guard statutory
missions.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on the NPRM published April
14, 2021. We are making one change in the regulatory text. We
discovered that the section number in the CFR, 33 CFR 165.789 is
already in use. Section 165.789 contains a safety zone regulation.
Therefore, we are revising the section number for this Regulated
Navigation Area in the final rule regulatory text. We are deleting
``165.789,'' and replacing it with ``165.790.''
    This rule establishes a permanent Regulated Navigation Area that
will require all persons and vessels to transit the regulated area at a
speed that creates minimum wake, seven miles per hour or less, to
safeguard damage to Coast Guard assets, disrupting operations, and/or
injuring Coast Guard personnel. Additionally, this rule will prohibit
vessels from passing other vessels making way within the regulated
area. This Regulated Navigation Area covers all navigable waters within
the Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Slip, immediately west of the Coast
Guard Base Miami Beach, Miami Beach, FL.

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
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, and
location of the Regulated Navigation area. The Regulated Navigation
Area will only affect vessels entering, and passing within, the
Biscayne Bay Causeway Island Slip in Miami Beach, Miami Beach, FL.
Vessels will continue to operate within the Biscayne Bay Causeway
Island Slip with the only restriction being the requirement to operate
at speeds below seven miles per hour and avoid passing other vessels
making way within the regulated area. Moreover, upon activating the
Regulated Navigation Area, the Coast Guard will notify the local
maritime community through various means including, Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners issued on VHF-FM marine radio
channel 16.

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 received 0 comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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
Regulated Navigation Area 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 would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    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
Regulated Navigation Area requiring all persons and vessels to transit
the regulated area at a speed that creates minimum wake, seven miles or
less, and to avoid passing other vessels making way within the
regulated area. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket.
For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble.

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.
