[Docket No. USCG-2014-0213]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Coquille River, Coos Bay, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to change the operating schedule that
governs the U.S. 101 highway drawbridge also known as Bullard's
Drawbridge, near Coos Bay, Oregon. The proposed change would allow the
drawbridge to permanently remain in the closed position, no longer
opening for vessel traffic. While there is vessel traffic on this
waterway, no one has requested a drawbridge opening since 1998. Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT) owns the bridge and requested to
update the operating schedule accordingly.

DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before February 20, 2015. Requests for public meetings must be received
by the Coast Guard on or before January 21, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2014-0213 using any one of the following methods:

time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) owns the U.S. 101
Highway Bridge also known as Bullard's Drawbridge, Coquille River, mile
3.5, Coos Bay, OR, and has requested that the drawbridge regulation be
amended to allow the bridge to remain in the permanently closed
position. ODOT provided the Coast Guard with bridge logs which
indicated no request for bridge openings have been received since 1998.
The U.S. 101 Highway Bridge also known as Bullard's Drawbridge,
Coquille River, in the closed position, provides 28.1 feet of vertical
clearance at mean high water and 35 feet at low water. In the open
position the span provides 74.3 feet of vertical clearance at mean high
water. Coquille River is transited by commercial fishing and
recreational vessel traffic.
    The Coast Guard believes this proposed rule is reasonable, and if
implemented, should continue to meet the present and future needs of
navigation. Based on the records provided by ODOT to the Coast Guard,
it is expected that the proposed change will have no known impact to
navigation or other waterway users.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 117.875 which requires the
U.S. 101 highway bridge also known as Bullard's Drawbridge to open on
signal if at least two hours notice is given to the drawtender at the
Coos Bay South Slough bridge. The amendment allows the bridge to remain
closed to the passage of vessels. However, pursuant to 117.39, the
draws must be able to operate within six months of being required to do
so by the District Commander. The Coast Guard believes this proposed
rule change will meet the current and future reasonable needs of
navigation since the drawbridge has not received a request to open for
marine traffic since 1998.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed 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 Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders. The Coast Guard basis of this
finding is on the fact that the bridge has received no requests for
openings and has remained in the closed position for the last 16 years
without any impacts to waterway users.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This action will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. Vessels
that can safely transit under the bridge may do so at any time.
Furthermore, no known waterway users have requested a bridge opening
within the last 16 years.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule simply
promulgates the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117

    Bridges.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 33 CFR part 117 as follows:

PART 117--DRAWBRIDGE OPERATION REGULATIONS

0
1. The authority citation for part 117 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 33 U.S.C. 499; 33 CFR 1.05-1; Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

0
2. Revise Sec.  117.875 to read as follows:

Sec.  117.875  Coquille River.

The draws of the US 101 highway bridge, mile 3.5 at Bandon, Oregon,
need not be opened for the passage of vessels; however, the draws shall
be restored to operable condition within 6 months after notification by
the District Commander to do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``FDARA Implementation Guidance for Pediatric Studies of
Molecularly Targeted Oncology Drugs: Amendments to Sec. 505B of the
FD&C Act.'' This draft guidance addresses early planning for pediatric
evaluation of certain molecularly targeted oncology drugs (including
biological products) for which original NDAs and BLAs are expected to
be submitted to FDA on or after August 18, 2020, in accordance with the
provisions of section 505B of the FD&C Act. Section 505B of the FD&C
Act (21 U.S.C. 355c) (also referred to as the Pediatric Research Equity
Act or PREA (Pub. L. 108-155)), was amended by FDARA.
    The amendments provide a new mechanism to expedite the evaluation
of certain novel drugs with the potential to address an unmet medical
need of pediatric patients with cancer. Specifically, FDARA amended the
requirement for pediatric investigations of certain new targeted cancer
drugs to be based on molecular mechanism of action rather than clinical
indication. For original NDAs and BLAs submitted on or after August 18,
2020, if the application is for a new active ingredient, and the drug
or biological product that is the subject of the application is
intended for treatment of an adult cancer and directed at a molecular
target FDA determines to be substantially relevant to the growth or
progression of a pediatric cancer, reports of molecularly targeted
pediatric cancer investigations must be submitted with the marketing
application, unless the required investigations are waived or deferred
(section 505B(a)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act).
    This draft guidance provides recommendations on regulatory
considerations related to the amendments to section 505B of the FD&C
Act, including information on molecular targets, factors FDA intends to
consider in the determination of whether a molecular target is
substantially relevant to the growth or progression of a pediatric
cancer, the molecular target lists, content of the initial pediatric
study plan and description of recommended studies, additional
considerations for rare cancers, and considerations for planned waivers
and deferrals. In addition, the draft guidance includes information
regarding global implications and international collaboration.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ``FDARA
Implementation Guidance for Pediatric Studies of Molecularly Targeted
Oncology Drugs.'' It does not establish any rights for any person and
is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative
approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521). The
collections of information in 21 CFR part 314 have been approved under
OMB control number 0910-0001. The collections of information in 21 CFR
part 312 have been approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0014. The
collections of information in 21 CFR part 601 have been approved under
OMB control number 0910-0338.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2017-0100, dated June 8, 2017 (referred to hereinafter as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    It was identified during a recent design review that power
turbine (PT) rotors with certain disks, part number (P/N) M601-
3220.6 and P/N M601-3220.7, have a reduction in the declared
theoretical PT rotor overspeed limit.
    This condition, if not corrected, may lead to high energy debris
release in case of PT rotor overspeed occurrence, possibly resulting
in damage to, and/or reduced control of, the aeroplane.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-0658.

Related Service Information

    GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. has issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
No. ASB-M601E-72-50-00-0069, ASB-M601D-72-50-00-0052, ASB-M601F-72-50-
00-0035, ASB-M601T-72-50-00-0028, and ASB-M601Z-72-50-00-0038, (single
document), dated February 21, 2017. The ASB describe procedures for
replacing the PT disk.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of Czech
Republic, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the European Community, EASA has
notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of
the same type design. This proposed AD would require removal of the
affected PT disks.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 50 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has

delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers,
and appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards Branch,
Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-10025-40-OP]

Request for Nominations for the Science Advisory Board; PFAS
Review Panel

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory
Board (SAB) Staff Office requests public nominations of scientific
experts to form a Panel to review draft EPA documents that are being
developed to support EPA's National Primary Drinking Water Rulemaking
for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These draft documents
will describe EPA's prepared analyses of health effects data that will
inform the derivation of proposed Maximum Contaminant Level Goals for
perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
Additionally, the documents will include elements from EPA's assessment
of the health risk reduction benefits of potential reductions in
drinking water concentrations of PFOA and PFOS for targeted health
endpoints. The documents will also include a framework for estimating
health risks associated with PFAS mixtures.

DATES: Nominations should be submitted by July 21, 2021 per the
instructions below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing
further information regarding this notice and request for nominations
may contact Dr. Suhair Shallal, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA
Science Advisory Board via telephone/voice mail<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>General information concerning the EPA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C. 4365) is a chartered Federal
Advisory Committee that provides independent scientific and technical
peer review, advice, and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on
the technical basis for EPA actions. As a Federal Advisory Committee,
the SAB conducts business in accordance with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. app. 2) and related regulations. The SAB
Staff Office is forming an expert panel, the SAB PFAS Review Panel,
under the auspices of the Chartered SAB. The SAB PFAS Review Panel will
provide advice through the chartered SAB. The SAB and the SAB PFAS
Review Panel will comply with the provisions of FACA and all
appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
    The SAB PFAS Review Panel will conduct the review of draft EPA
documents that are being developed to support EPA's National Primary
Drinking Water Rulemaking for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS) prepared by the EPA's Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water
(OGWDW) and Office of Science and Technology (OST).
    EPA has made final determinations to regulate two contaminants,
perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
EPA is currently moving forward to implement the national primary
drinking water regulation development process for PFAS. The Regulatory
Determinations outline avenues that the agency is considering to
further evaluate additional PFAS chemicals and provide flexibility for
the agency to consider groups of PFAS as supported by the best
available science.
    Request for Nominations: The SAB Staff Office is seeking
nominations of nationally and internationally recognized scientists
with demonstrated expertise in the following disciplines: Toxicology,
specifically: Reproductive/developmental, hepatic, immunology and
neurotoxicology; epidemiology with expertise in: Immunology,
endocrinology, reproductive/developmental and cardiology;
physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling; physician/
clinician with a focus on cardiology; risk assessment; toxicity of
chemical mixtures; economist with expertise in health related benefit
cost analysis and valuing avoided adverse health outcomes; dose
response relationships in economic models.
    Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Any interested
person or organization may nominate qualified individuals in the areas
of expertise described above for possible service on the SAB Panel.
Individuals may self-nominate. Nominations should be submitted in
electronic format (preferred) following the instructions for
``Nominating Experts to Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc Committees Being

Formed,'' provided on the SAB website (see the ``Nomination of
Experts'' link under ``Current Activities'' at http://www.epa.gov/sab).
To be considered, nominations should include the information requested
below. EPA values and welcomes diversity. All qualified candidates are
encouraged to apply regardless of sex, race, disability or ethnicity.
Nominations should be submitted in time to arrive no later than July
21, 2021.
    The following information should be provided on the nomination
form: Contact information for the person making the nomination; contact
information for the nominee; and the disciplinary and specific areas of
expertise of the nominee. Nominees will be contacted by the SAB Staff
Office and will be asked to provide a recent curriculum vitae and a
narrative biographical summary that includes: Current position,
educational background; research activities; sources of research
funding for the last two years; and recent service on other national
advisory committees or national professional organizations. Persons
having questions about the nomination procedures, or who are unable to
submit nominations through the SAB website, should contact the DFO at
the contact information noted above. The names and biosketches of
qualified nominees identified by respondents to this Federal Register
notice, and additional experts identified by the SAB Staff Office, will
be posted in a List of Candidates for the Panel on the SAB website at
http://www.epa.gov/sab. Public comments on the List of Candidates will
be accepted for 21 days. The public will be requested to provide
relevant information or other documentation on nominees that the SAB
Staff Office should consider in evaluating candidates.
    For the EPA SAB Staff Office a balanced review panel includes
candidates who possess the necessary domains of knowledge, the relevant
scientific perspectives (which, among other factors, can be influenced
by work history and affiliation), and the collective breadth of
experience to adequately address the charge. In forming the expert
panel, the SAB Staff Office will consider public comments on the Lists
of Candidates, information provided by the candidates themselves, and
background information independently gathered by the SAB Staff Office.
Selection criteria to be used for panel membership include: (a)
Scientific and/or technical expertise, knowledge, and experience
(primary factors); (b) availability and willingness to serve; (c)
absence of financial conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an
appearance of a loss of impartiality; (e) skills working in committees,
subcommittees and advisory panels; and, (f) for the panel as a whole,
diversity of expertise and scientific points of view.
    The SAB Staff Office's evaluation of an absence of financial
conflicts of interest will include a review of the ``Confidential
Financial Disclosure Form for Environmental Protection Agency Special
Government Employees'' (EPA Form 3110-48). This confidential form is
required and allows government officials to determine whether there is
a statutory conflict between a person's public responsibilities (which
include membership on an EPA federal advisory committee) and private
interests and activities, or the appearance of a loss of impartiality,
as defined by federal regulation. The form may be viewed and downloaded
through the ``Ethics Requirements for Advisors'' link on the SAB
website at http://www.epa.gov/sab. This form should not be submitted as
part of a nomination.
    The approved policy under which the EPA SAB Office selects members
for subcommittees and review panels is described in the following
document: Overview of the Panel Formation Process at the Environmental
Protection Agency Science Advisory Board (EPA-SAB-EC-02-010), which is
