SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The substance of these special conditions
has been published in the Federal Register for public comment in
several prior instances with no substantive comments received.
Therefore, the FAA finds, pursuant to 14 CFR 11.38(b), that new
comments are unlikely and public notice and comment prior to this
publication are unnecessary.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites interested people to take part in this rulemaking
by sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date for
comments. The FAA may change these special conditions based on the
comments received.

Background

    On March 25, 2020, Archeion applied for a change to Type
Certificate No. A16WE for the installation of an Avionica avWIFI system
with wireless network and hosted application functionality in Boeing
Model 737-300, -400, -700, -800, -8, and -9 series airplanes. These
airplanes, currently approved under Type Certificate No. A16WE, are
twin-engine, transport category airplanes, with a maximum takeoff
weight between 138,500 and 194,690 pounds, and a maximum passenger
capacity of 220 persons.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.101, Archeion must show that the Boeing Model 737-300, -400, -
700, -800, -8, and -9 series airplanes, as changed, continue to meet
the applicable provisions of the regulations listed in Type Certificate
No. A16WE or the applicable regulations in effect on the date of
application for the change,

except for earlier amendments as agreed upon by the FAA.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (e.g., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Boeing Model 7737-300, -400, -700,
-800, -8, and -9 series airplanes because of a novel or unusual design
feature, special conditions are prescribed under the provisions of
Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the applicant apply for a supplemental type
certificate to modify any other model included on the same type
certificate to incorporate the same novel or unusual design feature,
these special conditions would also apply to the other model under
Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Boeing Model 737 series airplane must comply with the
fuel vent and exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the
noise certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36.
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Feature

    The Boeing Model 737-300, -400, -700, -800, -8, and -9 series
airplanes will incorporate the following novel or unusual design
feature:
    A digital systems architecture for the installation of a system
with wireless network and hosted application functionality that allows
access, from sources internal to the airplane, to the airplane's
internal electronic components.

Discussion

    The digital systems architecture for the installation of an
Avionica avWiFi system with wireless network and hosted application
functionality on these Boeing Model 737 airplanes is a novel or unusual
design feature for transport category airplanes because it is composed
of several connected networks. This proposed network architecture is
used for a diverse set of airplane functions, including:
     Flight-safety related control and navigation systems,
     airline business and administrative support, and
     passenger entertainment.
    The airplane control domain and airline information-services domain
of these networks perform functions required for the safe operation and
maintenance of the airplane. Previously, these domains had very limited
connectivity with other network sources. This network architecture
creates a potential for unauthorized persons to access the aircraft
control domain and airline information-services domain from sources
internal to the airplane, and presents security vulnerabilities related
to the introduction of computer viruses and worms, user errors, and
intentional sabotage of airplane electronic assets (networks, systems,
and databases) critical to the safety and maintenance of the airplane.
    The existing FAA regulations did not anticipate these networked
airplane system architectures. Furthermore, these regulations and the
current guidance material do not address potential security
vulnerabilities, which could be exploited by unauthorized access to
airplane networks, data buses, and servers. Therefore, these special
conditions ensure that the security (i.e., confidentiality, integrity,
and availability) of airplane systems will not be compromised by
unauthorized wired or wireless electronic connections from within the
airplane. These special conditions also require the applicant to
provide appropriate instructions to the operator to maintain all
electronic-system safeguards that have been implemented as part of the
original network design so that this feature does not allow or
reintroduce security threats.
    These special conditions contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of
safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness
standards.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to
Boeing Model 737-300, -400, -700, -800, -8, and -9 series airplanes.
Should Archeion apply at a later date for a supplemental type
certificate to modify any other model included on Type Certificate No.
A16WE to incorporate the same novel or unusual design feature, these
special conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only a certain novel or unusual design feature
on Boeing Model 737-300, -400, -700, -800, -8, and -9 series airplanes.
It is not a rule of general applicability and affects only the
applicant.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

Authority Citation

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of
the type certification basis for Boeing Model 737-300, -400, -700, -
800, -8, and -9 series airplanes, as modified by Archeion Holdings,
LLC, for airplane electronic-system security protection from
unauthorized internal access.
    1. The applicant must ensure that the design provides isolation
from, or airplane electronic-system security protection against, access
by unauthorized sources internal to the airplane. The design must
prevent inadvertent and malicious changes to, and all adverse impacts
upon, airplane equipment, systems, networks, or other assets required
for safe flight and operations.
    2. The applicant must establish appropriate procedures to allow the
operator to ensure that continued airworthiness of the aircraft is
maintained, including all post type certification modifications that
may have an impact on the approved electronic-system security
safeguards.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0667]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Operation Safe Harbor Exercise, Mackinaw Island, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain navigable waters of Lake Huron between St. Ignace, MI and
Mackinaw Island, MI. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by
aerial and water-borne activities during an emergency response
exercise. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited
unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Sault
Sainte Marie.

DATES: This rule is effective from September 7, 2023, 7 a.m. through
September 8, 2023, 6 p.m. local time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

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
COTP Captain of the Port

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because of the potential hazards that exist
with respect to the exercise. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM
because we must establish this safety zone by September 7, 2023.
    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 impracticable because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with helicopters
carrying sling loads across the waterway during the exercise.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The Captain of the Port Sector Sault Sainte Marie (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards associated with a Mackinaw County
Emergency Exercise September 7, 2023, will be a safety concern for
anyone within a box bound by the following four points: 45-53.5' N 084-
43.52' W, 45-3.83' N 084-44' W, 45-53.09' N 084-38.78' W, 45-52.22' N,
084-38.94' W. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and
the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone
while the exercise is happening.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone during daylight hours from 7
a.m. through 6 p.m. on September 7, 2023, and from 7 a.m. through 6
p.m. on September 8, 2023. The safety zone will cover all navigable
waters within a box bound by the following four points: 45-53.5' N 084-
43.52' W, 45-3.83' N 084-44' W, 45-53.09' N 084-38.78' W, 45-52.22' N
084-38.94' W. The duration of the zone is intended to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable
waters while the exercise is happening. No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day for each safety zone. Vessel
traffic will be able to safely transit around all safety zones which
will impact small designated areas within the COTP zone for short
durations of time. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF channel 16 about the zone and the rule
allows vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone 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
safety zone lasting only 2 days, during daylight hours, that will
prohibit entry within a box bound by the following four points: 45-
53.5' N 084-43.52' W, 45-3.83' N 084-44' W, 45-53.09' N 084-38.78' W,
45-52.22' N 084-38.94' W. It is 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.

Definitions

    Fairway or shipping safety fairway means a lane or corridor in
which no artificial island or fixed structure, whether temporary or
permanent, will be permitted. See 33 CFR 166.105 (a).
    International Entry and Departure Transit Areas mean navigation
routes followed by vessels coming to or departing from the United
States and an international seaport. For this study, international
entry and departure transit areas will connect to recommended shipping
safety fairways in the ACPARS at the outer limit of the EEZ.
    Port Approaches mean navigation routes followed by vessels entering
or departing a seaport from or to a primary transit route. This study
will consider port approaches that connect seaports to recommended
shipping safety fairways described in the ACPARS.

Discussion

    The Coast Guard is beginning a new study of the port approaches and
international entry and departure transit areas to ports on the
Atlantic Coast of the United States. These routes are critical links of
a robust and effective Marine Transportation System (MTS) and integral
to efficient shipping safety fairways recommended in the Atlantic Coast
Port Access Route Study (ACPARS). The ACPARS analyzed the Atlantic
Coast waters seaward of existing port approaches within the U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to identify navigation routes customarily
followed by ships engaged in commerce between international and
domestic U.S. ports. See https://navcen.uscg.gov/pdf/PARS/ACPARS_Final_Report_08Jul2015_Combined_Appendix_Enclosures_Final_After_LMI_Review.pdf. This new study is focused on routes between port
approaches and international entry and departure transit areas.
    The Ports and Waterways Safety Act (PWSA) (46 U.S.C. 70003(c))
requires the Coast Guard to study potential traffic density and assess
the need for safe access routes for vessels. The Coast Guard
coordinates with Federal and State agencies, and considers the views of
the maritime community, environmental groups, and other interested
stakeholders in order to reconcile the need for safe access routes with
other reasonable waterway uses in the study area.

    The ACPARS analyzed waters located seaward of existing port
approaches within the EEZ along the entire Atlantic Coast. Automatic
Identification System (AIS) data and information from stakeholders were
used to identify and verify deep draft and coastwise navigation routes
that are typically followed by ships engaged in commerce between
international and domestic U.S. ports. Additional analysis of sea space
for vessels to maneuver in compliance with the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea led to development of
marine planning guidelines and recommendations for shipping safety
fairways.
    An analysis of potential traffic density of vessels proceeding to
and from a U.S. port is referred to as a Port Access Route Study
(PARS). Several PARS will examine ports along the Atlantic coast that
are economically significant, support military operations or critical
to national defense and related international entry and departure
transit areas that are integral to the safe, efficient and unimpeded
flow of commerce to/from major international shipping lanes. Similar to
the ACPARS, PARS will use AIS data and information from stakeholders to
identify and verify customary navigation routes as well as potential
conflicts involving alternative activities, such as wind energy
generation and offshore mineral exploitation and exploration.

Scope

    The Coast Guard will analyze ports that are economically
significant, that support military operations or are strategic for
national defense along the Atlantic. This includes but is not limited
to:

First Coast Guard District

    Kennebec River/Bath, ME;, Port of Portland, ME;, Portsmouth, NH;,
New Bedford, MA;, Port of Boston, MA;, Narragansett Bay, RI;, Long
Island Sound Eastern Entrances;, Groton, CT;, New Haven Harbor, CT;
and, Port of New York and New Jersey, including Port Elizabeth and
Newark.

Fifth Coast Guard District

    Port of Philadelphia, PA including Camden-Gloucester City, NJ, Port
of Wilmington, DE and New Castle, DE;, Port of Baltimore, MD;, Port of
Virginia including Norfolk, Newport News and Hampton Roads, VA;,
Morehead City, NC; and, Wilmington, NC.

Seventh Coast Guard District

    Port of Charleston, SC;, Port of Savannah, GA;, Brunswick, GA;,
Kings Bay, GA;, Port of Jacksonville, FL;, Port Canaveral, FL;, Port
Everglades, FL; and, Port of Miami, FL.

Methodology

    This study will analyze navigation routes to/from the ports
identified above to the proposed fairways outlined in the ACPARS as
well as international routes to/from the United States. Current
capabilities and planned improvements in these ports to handle maritime
conveyances will be considered. Analyses will be conducted in
accordance with Marine Planning to Operate and Maintain the Marine
Transportation System (MTS) and Implement National Policy, COMDTINST
16003.2A, and coordinated by the cognizant District Commander. See
https://media.defense.gov/2017/Mar/15/2001716995/-1/-1/0/CI_16003_2A.PDF. Notices of study will be published in the Federal
Register to inform and solicit public comments for each PARS.
    This notice is issued under authority of 46 U.S.C. 70003(c) and 5
U.S.C. 552[ ].

    Dated: March 11, 2019.

Advisory Board website. You may also subscribe to the following
listserv for alerts when notices regarding this and other e-Manifest
Advisory Board related activities are published: [email protected].

II. Background

A. Purpose of the e-Manifest Advisory Board

    The Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest (e-Manifest) System
Advisory Board is established in accordance with the provisions of the
Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act, 42 U.S.C. 6939g,
and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App.2. The e-
Manifest Advisory Board is in the public interest and supports the EPA
in performing its duties and responsibilities. The Board shall meet
annually to discuss, evaluate the effectiveness of, and provide
recommendations about the system to the EPA Administrator.
    The sole duty of the Advisory Board is to provide advice and
recommendations to the EPA Administrator. As required by the e-Manifest
Act, the e-Manifest Advisory Board is composed of nine (9) members. One
(1) member is the EPA Administrator (or a designee), who serves as
Chairperson of the Advisory Board. The rest of the committee is
composed of:
     At least two (2) members who have expertise in information
technology;
     At least three (3) members who have experience in using or
represent users of the manifest system to track the transportation of
hazardous waste under the e-Manifest Act;
     At least three (3) members who are state representatives
responsible for processing manifests.
    All members of the e-Manifest Advisory Board, except for the EPA
Administrator, are appointed as Special Government Employees or
Representatives.

B. Public Meeting

    EPA launched the e-Manifest system on June 30, 2018. e-Manifest
provides those persons required to use a Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) manifest under either federal or state law the
option of using electronic manifests to track shipments of hazardous
waste and to meet certain RCRA requirements. By enabling the transition
from a paper-intensive process to an electronic system, EPA estimates
e-Manifest will ultimately save state and industry users more than $50
million annually, once electronic manifests are widely adopted.
    Since system inception through May 2022, EPA has received roughly
25 thousand electronic manifests (both fully electronic and hybrid
manifests) out of a total of approximately 7 million manifests.
Electronic manifests thus represent less than a half of a percent of
manifests received by EPA. EPA seeks to dramatically increase this
percentage.
    EPA hosted two virtual public meetings on October 27, 2021, and
November 3, 2021, to discuss how to increase electronic adoption and
solicit feedback from stakeholders. The meetings described existing
electronic manifest functionality and the feasibility of several
options to increase use of electronic manifests. As a next step in this
effort, EPA will convene its next public meeting of the e-Manifest
System Advisory Board from October 4-6, 2022. The meeting will include
discussion of the comments EPA received from the public meetings, as
well as related policy and technical changes EPA is considering for the
e-Manifest system to increase adoption of electronic manifests. The
general purpose of this meeting is for the Board to advise the Agency
on these potential changes.

C. e-Manifest Advisory Board Documents and Meeting Minutes

    The meeting background paper along with related supporting
materials including the charge questions to the Advisory Board, the
Advisory Board membership roster (i.e., members attending this
meeting), and the meeting agenda will be available by approximately
early-September 2022. In addition, EPA may provide additional
background documents as the materials become available. You may obtain
electronic copies of these documents, and certain other related
documents that might be available at http://www.regulations.gov via the
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OLEM-2022-0611 and at the e-Manifest Advisory
Board website at: https://www.epa.gov/e-manifest/hazardous-waste-electronic-manifest-system-e-manifest-advisory-board.
    The e-Manifest Advisory Board will prepare meeting minutes
summarizing its recommendations to EPA approximately ninety (90) days
after the meeting. The meeting minutes will be posted on the e-Manifest
Advisory Board website, or they may be obtained from the public docket
at http://www.regulations.gov via the docket ID number EPA-HQ-OLEM-
