SECTION I. PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT 1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION ( a) TITLE OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION Information Requirements for Importation of Nonconforming Vehicles, OMB Control Number 2060 0095, ICR # 0010.09.

( b) SHORT CHARACTERIZATION ( ABSTRACT)

The Clean Air Act requires that motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines imported into the U. S. conform with applicable emission requirements. This Information Collection Request ( ICR) includes both motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines. The ICR previously included nonroad compression ignition engines, however those engines are now instead incorporated into another ICR, 1673, OMB control number 2060 0294.

The Outreach & Planning Group ( OPG) in the Office of Air and Radiation collects information and requires some recordkeeping to help ensure that nonconforming vehicles and engines are brought into compliance with Federal emission requirements, unless eligible for exemption or exclusion. Also, the information is used by the U. S. Customs Service ( Customs), State regulatory agencies, businesses, and individuals to verify whether or not vehicles are in compliance.

Information collected includes vehicle identification data and U. S. Customs entry statements that such information is correct, and emission test results. The information is either stored in a computer database, or retained in document form. The information is used to monitor compliance of imports and respond to inquiries from the public concerning the compliance status of specific imported vehicles.

a) EPA Form 3520 1 This form is used by importers who are applying for entry of motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines, respectively.

b) EPA Form 3520 8 This form is used by independent commercial importers ( ICIs) to request final admission of a nonconforming motor vehicle or nonroad engine that has been brought into compliance with Federal emission requirements.

c) EPA Form 3520 14 This form is used by importers wishing to make application to EPA for prior written approval in order to obtain an exemption or exclusion from bringing vehicles or engines into compliance with Federal emission standards. This form was designed by EPA to give importers a guide as to what information they should submit and what exemption or exclusion they might be eligible for.

The information collection will involve 13,000 respondents  2

at an O& M cost of $ 1,296,000 and a labor cost of $ 168,000.

2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION ( a) NEED/ AUTHORITY FOR THE COLLECTION Joint EPA and Customs regulations at 40 CFR 85.1501 et seq., 40 CFR 89.601 et seq., 19 CFR 12.73 and 19 CFR 12.74 promulgated under the authority under the Clean Air Act ( Sections 203 and 208) give authority for the collection of information. The collection of this information helps ensure the compliance of nonconforming vehicles and engines with Federal emissions requirements which helps meet the Agency goal of reducing air pollution. Without this information, EPA could not confirm that vehicles and engines being imported conform to the emission requirements and consequently, would not be able to allow importation of these vehicles and engines.

( b) USE/ USERS OF THE DATA The Outreach & Planning Group ( OPG) receives the information either directly from the importers or indirectly from the importers through Customs. The information is used by Agency enforcement personnel to verify that all Federal emission requirements concerning imported nonconforming motor vehicles are met. The information is also used to identify and prosecute violators of the regulations and to monitor the program in achieving the objectives of the regulations.

3. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA ( a) NONDUPLICATION A search of the Government Information Locator System ( GILS) found no other program or agency collecting this information. Because much of the information is so highly specific ( e. g., emission test results on a particular vehicle) to the EPA Imports Program, the information would not be duplicated by other programs.

( b) PUBLIC NOTICE A Federal Register notice has been published, soliciting public comment for this ICR on 5/ 31/ 2000 ( 65 FR 25324); no comments were received.

( c) CONSULTATIONS Consultations have been made with Customs headquarters and ICIs to discuss form revisions and to obtain accurate burden and cost estimates. The following ICIs were contacted:  3

Champagne Imports Inc. 200 West 5th Street Lansdale, PA 19446 Rep: Mr. Joe Marino Phone: ( 215) 361 1304 J. K. Motorcars, Inc. 3500 Sweet Air Street Baltimore, MD 21211 Rep: Mr. Jonathan Weisheit Phone: ( 410) 366 6332 Wallace Environmental Testing Laboratories 2140 Wirtcrest Houston, TX 77055 Rep: Mr. Les Weaver Phone: ( 713) 956 7705 ( d) EFFECTS OF LESS FREQUENT COLLECTION Since reporting is done only at the time of entry and compliance, the effects of less frequent collection would be to seriously undermine the Agency's ability to whether vehicles being imported meet applicable emission requirements. Consequently, the Agency would not be able to allow entry of vehicles being imported. Therefore, less frequent collection is not feasible.

( e) GENERAL GUIDELINES This ICR requires that ICIs notify EPA when requesting final admission for vehicles ( form 3520 8) and this may occasionally result in reporting more often than quarterly. This requirement is necessary for EPA to inspect vehicles prior to release from the ICI. If EPA only required quarterly reports, either the ICI would have to hold vehicles and release them on a quarterly basis or EPA would not likely have the opportunity to inspect vehicles imported by the ICI.

Additionally, EPA's regulations require that ICIs retain records for a period equal to the vehicle's or engine's useful life plus one year ( 40 CFR 85.1507). Also, the emissions warranty needs to be valid for the same period. For example the Clean Air Act requires that light duty vehicles meet Federal emission standards throughout their useful lives which is defined by the Clean Air Act to be 5 years or 50,000 miles. The Imports regulations further specify that the useful life period starts from the date that the vehicle is delivered to the owner by the ICI. Therefore, because of this requirement, compliance documentation must ordinarily be maintained six years from the date of entry.  4

( f) CONFIDENTIALITY Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B  Confidentiality of Business Information ( see CFR 2). The public is not permitted access to information containing personal or organizational identifiers. This collection complies with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular A 130.

( g) SENSITIVE QUESTIONS There are no sensitive questions asked.

4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED ( a) RESPONDENTS/ SIC CODES The Vehicle Compliance Programs Group ( VCPG) collects information from individual importers and both small and large companies who import, or import and manufacture, vehicles or engines.

THE INFORMATION COLLECTED AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT ( a) AGENCY ACTIVITIES OPG receives the information as required from Customs, individuals and businesses. After receiving the information, EPA uses the information to determine whether vehicles meet EPA requirements and retains the information in order to respond to public, State government, and Federal government inquires.

( b) COLLECTION METHODOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT  7

Both Customs and OPG use the information to determine if vehicles meet EPA requirements. OPG retains information in a computer database or document form in order to respond to public, State government, and Federal government inquires, which are handled by OPG staff.

( c) SMALL ENTITY FLEXIBILITY Small entities ( e. g. ICIs) which are required to submit certain information to EPA have been providing information to EPA by completing and submitting EPA forms. EPA regulations provide, as an alternative, for the small entities to submit the data electronically ( e. g. 40 CFR 85.1505( a), 85.1509( b) & ( c)).

( d) COLLECTION SCHEDULE The information is not subject to a collection schedule, but is collected at the time of vehicle entry and when the vehicle is ready for final admission by EPA.

6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION 6( a) ESTIMATING RESPONDENT BURDEN Motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines I. Reporting Burden Burden Est. Est. # of Est. of forms/ yr Burden ( hrs) a) Form 3520 1 .5 20,000 10,000 b) Form 3520 8 ( ICI) .5 200 100 c) Form 3520 14 .5 1,000 500 10,600 II. Recordkeeping Burden ICIs 1 hr/ vehicle * 200 vehicles = 200 hrs ( form 3520 8 & other required ICI records ( see 4( b))

III. Testing Burden ICIs 18 hrs/ vehicle * 200 vehicles = 3,600 hrs TOTAL BURDEN = 14,400 hrs  8

( b) ESTIMATING RESPONDENT COST Motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines Costs: Estimated Capital/ Units Labor Start up O& M I. Reporting 21,200 forms $ 636,000 @$ 30 per form II. Recordkeeping 200 vehicles $ 6,000 x 1 hr/ veh. x $ 30/ hr III. Testing 200 vehicles $ 162,000 $ 660,000 x 18 hrs/ veh. x $ 45/ hr & x $ 3,300/ vehicle TOTAL COST = $ 168,000 $ 1,296,000 ( i) Labor Costs Labor costs were calculated based on an average of responses received from the ICIs contacted. Estimated labor costs total $ 168,000 for activities covered by this ICR.

( ii) Capital/ Start up Costs Capital/ start up costs are predominantly incurred by ICIs during the required certification process, which is covered by another ICR. Some small portion of residual capital/ start up costs may be included within the operations and maintenance costs provided to us in consultations with ICIs. However, ICIs were unable to separate non certification capital/ start up costs for us from the overall operations and maintenance costs provided, and we have no other basis for estimating the costs. Estimated capital/ start up costs for this ICR are therefore zero.

( iii) Operations and Maintenance Costs Operations and maintenance costs were calculated based on an average of responses received from the ICIs contacted. The Operations and maintenance cost for reporting ordinarily involves a purchase of services from brokers who complete a package of importation forms ( including those of other agencies) and file them with Customs. This cost is estimated as a component of overall broker activities to import a vehicle or engine, and incorporates a negligible recordkeeping cost for broker form retention indistinguishable from overall broker activities. Additional costs are incurred when an ICI tests a vehicle or engine to verify compliance with Federal emission requirements. Estimated operations and maintenance costs total $ 1,296,000 for  9

activities covered by this ICR.

6( c) ESTIMATING AGENCY BURDEN AND COST The Imports program is administered by EPA's Outreach & Planning Group ( OPG). Four Full Time Equivalent employees and three Senior Environmental Employment Program employees are allocated to Imports activities, at an estimated total agency cost of $ 500,000 per year.

6( d) REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN The reason for the increase in the burden is improved information based upon consultations with respondents, used to estimate burdens and costs.

6( e) BURDEN STATEMENT Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 30 minutes per response [ and to average 30 minutes per response recordkeeping ( form 3520 8 only)]. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Collection Strategies Division, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( 2822), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, D. C. 20460; and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for EPA. Include EPA ICR number 0010.09 and OMB control number 2060 0095 in any correspondence.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30995; Amdt. No. 3623]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective January 26, 2015. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of January 26, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers of
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPS as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as Amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.
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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUBJECT:	Notes from State Technical Workgroup Meeting (26 June 2014) [DCN 0142]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

      This was the fifteenth meeting for the EPA-state technical workgroup, which is discussing key issues related to the proposed NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule (eRule). These discussions are informing the forthcoming supplemental Federal Register notice and they will continue beyond the publication of the supplemental notice to help EPA address state comments. EPA participants will include the OECA eRule Team as well as representatives from EPA's Office of Water and Office of Environmental Information. Technical workgroup members are listed below in Tables 1 and 2. The agenda for this meeting is also provided below. EPA is summarizing the notes from these discussions for the docket in order to provide transparency on EPA's outreach during the rulemaking process. The OECA eRule team will also be available for any other stakeholder group that would like to discuss the eRule.

Meeting Notes

     EPA (Mr. Carey Johnston) started the meeting by reminding state participants that in addition to raising questions during the technical workgroup meetings, states can email their questions on the proposed rule (including the data elements) to EPA. Questions on all aspects of the proposed rule can be sent to Mr. Johnston. Mr. Johnston then asked if there were any comments on the notes from the four previous meetings (5/22, 5/29, 6/5, 6/12) that he sent to the workgroup in a June 18th email. There were no comments. Mr. Johnston noted that workgroup member can still send comments on these meeting notes to him by e-mail. He also noted that EPA sent state workgroup members a June 19th email with a spreadsheet showing the different Appendix A data elements and how they match up against the current configuration of ICIS-NPDES. See the worksheet titled: "Data Elements (ICIS-NPDES)". He asked if there were any questions on how to interpret this spreadsheet.

     Mr. Johnston then asked teleconference participants to focus on the thermal variance data elements [CWA 316(a)] and cooling water intake data elements [CWA 316(b)]. The source of these data elements are NPDES permit applications and Notices of Intent (NOI) (see 30 July 2013; 78 FR 46098-461000).

     Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act requires EPA to issue regulations on the design and operation of intake structures, in order to minimize adverse environmental impacts. EPA promulgated regulations in 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2014. The requirements are included in the NPDES permit regulations, 40 CFR Parts 122 and 125 (Subparts I, J, and N). CWA Section 316(a) authorizes the permitting authority (either the authorized state or EPA) to impose alternative, less stringent effluent limits for the control of the thermal component of a discharge in lieu of the effluent limits that would otherwise be required under CWA §301 or §306. A variance allows facilities to discharge cooling water at an alternative, less stringent thermal effluent limit that is still protective of aquatic life. To obtain a CWA §316(a) thermal variance, the operator of a facility must demonstrate to the permitting authority that an alternative thermal discharge limit will be protective of the balanced, indigenous population of shellfish, fish, and wildlife. This alternative effluent limit, or variance, is only in effect for the duration of the permit.

     Mr. Johnston started the technical discussion by reading the name of each cooling water intake data element along with the corresponding data description and regulatory or policy citation. After reading about five to ten elements at a time, Mr. Johnston asked for input from the technical workgroup. Below are some questions and comments from the technical workgroup.

* Washington state noted that many of the cooling water intake data elements appear to be based on EPA's previous rulemaking that relied on NPDES permit writers best professional judgment (BPJ). He noted that OECA should revised these data elements to match the recently signed CWA 316(b) rulemaking.

* Mr. Johnston asked Mr. Tom Born to provide an update on the recently signed CWA 316(b) rulemaking. Mr. Born noted that the rule was signed by the EPA Administrator on 19 May 2014 and is currently being prepared for publication. Mr. Born expects that the signed rule will be published in the middle of August with an effective data 60 days after publication.

* New York noted that they collect additional data during the NPDES permit term and not through the NPDES permit issuance process. Mr. Johnston noted that OECA worked with OW to identify the cooling water intake data elements that are submitted by NPDES permit applicants to their permitting authority.

* Washington state noted that EPA's NPDES permit application forms need to be updated to reflect the CWA 316(b) regulations.

* Indiana (Mr. Tom Easterly) asked how these cooling water intake data elements will affect the 90% threshold calculation for the proposed State Readiness Criteria. Mr. Johnston noted that these data will be generated by states and as they will likely all be coming from individual NPDES permit applications. Consequently, these state generated data do not factor into the 90% threshold calculation, which instead applies to the percentage of NPDES regulated entities that are utilizing electronic reporting.

* Mr. Johnston also noted that NPDES regulated entities can collect these data from NPDES regulated entities via spreadsheets or electronic reporting tools that do not need to be CROMERR compliant (as the paper copy of the NPDES application form is the copy of record). Mr. Easterly asked if EPA can make an electronic reporting tools available to states. Mr. Johnston replied that EPA is planning on making the NPDES Electronic Reporting Tool (NeT) available to states and that this tool can be used to electronically report data from individual NPDES permit applications.

* Washington state noted that EPA's previous rulemaking, 40 CFR 125.90(b), requires the NPDES regulated entity to submit very specific data to the NPDES permit writer so that they permit writer can use best professional judgment to establish the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact associated with the use of cooling water intake structures. Washington state noted that the 316(b) rulemaking signed on May 19th will reduce the need for NPDES regulated entity to submit very specific data to the NPDES permit writer as most NPDES permit writers will instead be using EPA's new regulation.

* Mr. Easterly asked for additional clarity on the Percentage of Mean Annual Flow Withdrawn  -  Fresh Water Facilities data element. Mr. Johnston provided the following example. If the mean annual flow of the source water body was 100 million gallons per day and the design intake flow for the entire facility was 1 million gallons per day, then the NPDES regulated entity would report 1%.

* ACWA (Mr. Sean Rolland) asked how EPA will communicate changes to states on Appendix A after publication of the supplemental notice. Mr. Johnston stated that these discussions will continue beyond the publication of the supplemental notice to help EPA address state comments. He noted that EPA plans on using these technical exchanges to discuss potential changes to data elements.

* Oklahoma (Mr. David Pruitt) stated that they hope that a number of data elements are removed from Appendix A. He noted that they see a fair amount of burden associated with collecting these data. He noted that they would also like to see a longer time period for implementation of the rule.

     Mr. Johnston then read off the names of the thermal variance data elements (Part 46100). Mr. Johnston asked for input from the technical workgroup. Below are some questions and comments from the technical workgroup.

* Mr. Easterly noted that some of the thermal variances granted by Indiana are really old. He asked for EPA to clarify whether the Thermal Variance Date data element tracks the date the first variance was granted or the most recent. He noted that Indiana grants these variances upon permit re-issuance. Mr. Johnston noted that this data element tracks each thermal variance issuance and that OECA will update Appendix A to make this clear.

* Tennessee noted that there are a number of required studies and reports that the NPDES permittee must submit to them in order to continue a thermal variance. He asked if the permit issuance data could be used to indicate when these reports were submitted by the permittee to Tennessee. Mr. Johnston stated that this would be appropriate as this data element is meant to track whether states are receiving the necessary reports to support each thermal variance for each NPDES permit issuance or renewal.

Mr. Johnston took a poll of the participants on when they can hold their next meeting. The group agreed to hold their next meeting on Thursday, July 10th at 1PM (Eastern) to finish the discussion on pretreatment data elements.

Next Steps

      The next technical workgroup meeting is July 10th.

Quick Reminder
   *    The technical workgroup is not a formal decision-making body. The workgroup is expected to develop, research, and evaluate options for consideration by EPA and state senior management.

   *    There are no formal quorum rules for the workgroup. Scheduled teleconferences will proceed with whichever workgroup members call in to participate.

   *    There will be no formal voting or consensus of the workgroup. Instead, the workgroup is expected to try to develop recommendations reflecting their various perspectives, not achieve consensus.

   *    Summaries of the workgroup's discussions will be prepared for and reviewed by the workgroup, for presentation to EPA senior management and other states and the rulemaking record. The discussions summaries will outline the major elements of the discussions, areas of agreement and any dissenting views.

[Docket No. USCG-2011-1157]
RIN 1625-AA87

Security Zone; 24th Annual North American International Auto
Show, Detroit River, Detroit, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary security zone on
the Detroit River, Detroit, Michigan. This zone is intended to restrict
vessels from a portion of the Detroit River in order to ensure the
safety and security of participants, visitors, and public officials at
the 24th Annual North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), which
is being held at Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit, MI. Vessels and persons
may not enter this security zone without permission of the Captain of
the Port Detroit or the COTP on-scene representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 a.m. on January 8, 2012, until
12:01 a.m. on January 23, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 notice of this year's event was not received
in sufficient time for the Coast Guard to solicit public comments
before the event's start. Thus, waiting for a notice and comment period
to run would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest
because it would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to protect the
spectators of and participants in this event from the hazards discussed
below.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be contrary to the public interest for the same reasons
discussed in the preceding paragraph.

Background and Purpose

    The 24th Annual North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) will
be held at Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit, MI. The NAIAS is the prime
venue for introducing the world's most anticipated vehicles. The public
showing days of the NAIAS begin January 14 and extend through January
22. Prior to the public showing, there will also be multiple high
profile events; including the press preview days (January 9-10, 2012),
industry preview days (January 11-12, 2012), and the charity preview
event (January 13, 2012). In 2011, the NAIAS attendance for the public
showing was over 735,000 people and press preview days attracted over
5,000 journalists representing 55 countries. Attendance and
participation at the 2012 NAIAS is anticipated to rival last year's
attendance and will likely be one of the largest media events in North
America.
    NAIAS has attracted numerous protesters from various organizations.
Due to the current state of the economy, the recent number of layoffs,
the closures of several thousand automotive dealerships around the
country, and the likely presence of high profile visitors, it is
possible that protests may continue to occur at this year's event.
Consequently, the Captain of the Port Detroit has determined that it is
necessary to safeguard portions of the Detroit River from destruction,
loss, or injury from sabotage or other subversive acts.

Discussion of Rule

    To safeguard portions of the Detroit River during this year's
event, the Captain of the Port Detroit has determined that a temporary
security zone is necessary. This security zone will ensure the safety
of the participants in and visitors of the 24th Annual North American
International Auto Show being held at Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit,
MI. The security zone will be in effect from 8 a.m. on January 8, 2012,
until 12:01 a.m. on January 23, 2012. The zone will be enforced from 8
a.m. to 12:01 a.m. daily for the duration of the event.
    The security zone will encompass an area of the Detroit River
beginning at a point of origin on land adjacent to the west end of Joe
Lewis Arena at 42[deg]19.44' N, 083[deg]03.11' W; then extending
offshore approximately 150 yards to 42[deg]19.39' N, 083[deg]03.07' W;
then proceeding upriver approximately 2000 yards to a point at
42[deg]19.72' N, 083[deg]01.88' W; then proceeding onshore to a point
on land adjacent the Tricentennial State Park at 42[deg]19.79' N,
083[deg]01.90' W; then proceeding downriver along the shoreline to
connect back to the point of origin. Vessels in close proximity to the
security zone will be subject to increased monitoring and boarding. All
geographic coordinates are North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the designated on scene
representative. Entry into, transit, or anchoring within the security
zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Detroit
or his designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or
his designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel
16.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 14 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of
Management and Budget has not reviewed it under Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563.
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have a minimal impact on the
economy, will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely
alter the budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise
any novel legal or policy issues. The security zone on the Detroit
River will be relatively small and exist for only a minimal time. Thus,
restrictions on vessel movement within any particular area of the
Detroit River are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit through the security zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port. We expect the economic impact of
this proposed rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation
under the regulatory policies and procedures of DHS is unnecessary.
This determination is based on the short time that vessels will be
restricted from the area of water impacted by the security zone.
Moreover, vessels may still transit freely in Canadian waters adjacent
to the security zone.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. 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 will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in a portion of the Detroit River, Detroit, Michigan,
beginning at a point of origin on land at 42[deg]19.44' N,
083[deg]03.11' W; then extending offshore approximately 150 yards to
42[deg]19.39' N, 083[deg]03.07' W; then proceeding upriver
approximately 2000 yards to a point at 42[deg]19.72' N, 083[deg]01.88'
W; then proceeding onshore to a point on land at 42[deg]19.79' N,
083[deg]01.90' W; then returning to the point of origin from 8 a.m.
January 8, 2012, through 12:01 a.m. on January 23, 2012.
    This security zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will not obstruct the regular flow of commercial traffic and will
allow vessel traffic to pass around the security zone. In the event
that this temporary security zone affects shipping, commercial vessels
may request permission from the Captain of the Port Detroit to transit
through the security zone. The Coast Guard will give notice to the
public via a Broadcast to Mariners that the regulation is in effect.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    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.

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).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

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.

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.

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 may
disproportionately affect children.

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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedure; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
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 is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of
the Instruction because it involves the establishment of a security
zone. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-04-
21, which applies to certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC120B
helicopters. AD 2021-04-21 required an inspection of the attachment
bolts of the main rotor (MR) hub scissors assembly for discrepancies
and repair if necessary; part marking of the attachment bolts of the MR
hub scissors assembly; and repetitive inspections of the part marking
of the attachment bolts, and repair if necessary. This AD continues to
require the actions in AD 2021-04-21; and also requires part marking of
the washer, scissor branch, and mast ring of the corresponding nut
side, and repetitive inspections of the additional part markings and
repair if necessary; as

specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by a report of
broken and bent attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly and a
determination that additional part markings of the washer, scissor
branch, and mast ring of the corresponding nut side, and repetitive
inspections of those part markings, are necessary to detect any
rotation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 14, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 14,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0046, dated February 12, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0046) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Airbus Helicopters Model EC120B helicopters. Although EASA AD
2021-0046 applies to all Model EC120B helicopters, this AD applies to
helicopters with an affected part installed instead.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2021-04-21, Amendment 39-21443 (86 FR
17278, April 2, 2021) (AD 2021-04-21). AD 2021-04-21 applied to certain
Airbus Helicopters Model EC120B helicopters. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on September 23, 2021 (86 FR 52859). The NPRM was
prompted by a report of broken and bent attachment bolts of the MR hub
scissors assembly and a determination that additional part markings of
the washer, scissor branch, and mast ring of the corresponding nut
side, and repetitive inspections of those part markings, are necessary
to detect any rotation. The NPRM proposed to continue to require the
actions in AD 2021-04-21, as specified in an EASA AD. The NPRM also
proposed to require part marking of the washer, scissor branch, and
mast ring of the corresponding nut side, and repetitive inspections of
the additional part markings and repair if necessary, as specified in
an EASA AD.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address broken and bent attachment
bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly, which could lead to detachment
of a MR hub scissors attachment bolt, possibly resulting in complete
loss of control of the helicopter. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0046 specifies procedures for an inspection of the
attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly for discrepancies
(discrepancies include corrosion, fretting, wear, cracking, bolt play,
and bolt tightening torque) and repair if necessary; part marking of
the washer, scissor branch, and mast ring of the attachment bolts and
corresponding nut side of the MR hub scissors assembly; and repetitive
inspections, after part marking, for discrepancies, and repair if
necessary. The inspections of the attachment bolts of the MR hub
assembly include checking the play and torque of the scissors
attachment bolts and making sure that there are no hard spots in the
scissors link hinge.
    This material 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 89 helicopters of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                    inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 hour per product to
comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the
cost of reporting on U.S. operators to be $7,565, or $85 per product.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
helicopters that might need these on-condition actions:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation
Administration, 10101 Hillwood Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.
