DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2014-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8349]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not
occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date. Also, information identifying
the current participation status of a community can be obtained from
FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at http://www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.

DATES:  Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact David Stearrett, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities agree to adopt and administer
local floodplain management measures aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale
of NFIP flood insurance unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations, 44 CFR
Part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. We recognize that some of
these communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue to be eligible for the sale of
NFIP flood insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of such
communities will be published in the Federal Register.
    In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of

Federal assistance becomes effective for the communities listed on the
date shown in the last column. The Administrator finds that notice and
public comment procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and
unnecessary because communities listed in this final rule have been
adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
unless remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

49 CFR Part 375

[Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0119]
RIN 2126-AB52

Transportation of Household Goods in Interstate Commerce;
Consumer Protection Regulations

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA confirms the effective date for its June 20, 2012,
direct final rule concerning household goods consumer protection. The
direct final rule amended the regulations governing the transportation
of household goods to remove an obsolete requirement related to collect
calls, resolved ambiguities, and made other noncontroversial
amendments. The Agency did not receive any comments in response to the
direct final rule and confirms the August 20, 2012, effective date of
the rule.

DATES: The effective date for the direct final rule published in the
Federal Register on June 20, 2012 (77 FR 36932), is confirmed as August
20, 2012.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this rulemaking (FMCSA-2012-0119) is
available for inspection at http://www.regulations.gov. If you do not
have access to the Internet, you may also view the docket by visiting
the Docket Management Facility in Room W12-140 on the ground floor of
the Department of Transportation West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue
SE., Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. e.t., Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Brodie Mack, FMCSA, Household
Goods Team Leader, Commercial Enforcement and Investigations Division
at<PHONE_NUMBER> or by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 20, 2012, FMCSA published a direct
final rule amending its regulations at 49 CFR part 375. The rule
clarified that certain independent delivery services are not household
goods motor carriers, removed an obsolete provision requiring household
goods motor carriers to post notices relating to acceptance of collect
telephone calls, clarified the Agency's requirement that renegotiated
estimates contain detailed descriptions of the goods or services that
gave rise to the renegotiation, and required household goods motor
carriers that relinquish possession of goods to permanent storage to do
so in the shipper's name.
    FMCSA used the Agency's direct final rule procedures (75 FR 29915,
May 28, 2010) because it was a routine and noncontroversial amendment,
and the Agency did not expect any adverse comments. The direct final
rule advised the public that unless a written adverse comment, or a
written notice of intent to submit such an adverse comment, was
received by July 20, 2012, the Agency would provide notice confirming
the effective date. Because the Agency did not receive any comments to
the docket by July 20, 2012, the direct final rule will become
effective August 20, 2012.

    Issued on: August 8, 2012.

Fiscal Year 2010 Safety Grants

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public of FMCSA's Fiscal Year
(FY) 2010 safety grant opportunities and FMCSA's changes to its
application and award processes for grant programs. The Agency
instituted procedural changes in an effort to simplify and streamline
its grants application and award processes. The 11 safety programs
include the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) Basic
grants; MCSAP Incentive grants; MCSAP New Entrant Safety Audit grants;
MCSAP High Priority grants; Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Operator
Safety Training grants; Border Enforcement grants (BEG); Commercial
Driver's License Program Improvement (CDLPI) grants; Commercial
Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) Modernization grants;
Performance and Registration Information Systems Management (PRISM)
grants; Safety Data Improvement Program grants (SaDIP); and the
Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) grants.
Each grant program was provided for in the Agency's most recent
authorization, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). The purpose
of this notice is to provide grantees with information on the Agency's
FY 2010 safety grant application deadlines.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

    On March 24, 2009, FMCSA published a notice with request for
comments in the Federal Register (74 FR 12437) regarding the
establishment of Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 grant application due dates and
other grant program changes.

Background and Purpose

    FMCSA recognizes that State governments and other grantees are
dependent on its safety grants to develop and maintain important
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety programs. FMCSA further
acknowledges that delays in awarding grant funds may have an adverse
impact on these important safety programs. As a result, FMCSA conducted
a grants process review, in an effort to identify ways to streamline
the application, award, and grants management processes, and to award
grant funds earlier each fiscal year. In addition, FMCSA made changes
in the grants application, award and oversight processes to standardize
application forms, increase the use of electronic documents,
standardize quarterly reports and reduce the number of needed grant
amendments.

Discussion of Comments

    Five comments were received in the docket. All commenters supported
FMCSA's changes, especially any efforts to award funds earlier in the
fiscal year. One commenter suggested delaying on the proposed
application dates until FY 2011. Another commenter suggested one due
date for all grants. Other comments included suggestions beyond the
scope of FMCSA's current changes. This information will be considered
during future grant program modifications.

FY 2010 Safety Grants Program

    First, the schedule for the FY 2010 grant applications is as
follows:
    MCSAP Basic and Incentive Grants--August 1, 2009.
    New Entrant Safety Audit Grants--September 1, 2009.
    Border Enforcement Grants--September 15, 2009.
    CMV Operator Safety Training Grants--October 1, 2009.
    SaDIP Grants--October 2, 2009.
    MCSAP High Priority Grants--October 15, 2009.
    CDLPI Grants--November 1, 2009.
    CDLIS Modernization Grants--November 15, 2009.
    PRISM Grants--December 1, 2009.
    CVISN Grants--December 1, 2009.
    Second, consistent with its contract authority, FMCSA will enter
into grant agreements beginning October 1 or as soon thereafter as
administratively practicable. FMCSA intends to enter into grant
agreements no later than 90 days from the date the application is due
but not prior to October 1.
    Third, for all grants other than MCSAP Basic and Incentive, FMCSA
will use a standard grant application form and a new quarterly
reporting process. In its grant announcements on grants.gov, FMCSA will
use Standard Form 424 (``Application for Federal Assistance'') and its
attachments for all of its grant programs. While each grant

program may request different data in some of the data fields on the
form, the use of the Standard Form 424 will be mandatory. FMCSA must
adopt the Standard Form--Project Progress Report (SF-PPR) as its
preferred form for quarterly reporting. Therefore, the SF-PRR would be
mandatory for quarterly reporting. However, individual grant programs
may require additional SF-PRR attachments. Additional guidance will be
provided to grant recipients upon award.
    Fourth, FMCSA is increasing the use of electronic documents. As a
result, the number of original copies of grant agreements required to
be signed by Grantees and submitted to FMCSA is now two. In addition,
FMCSA will provide most grant agreement documents electronically to its
financial processing office. Grantees are, however, still required to
submit the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Vendor Payment Form (SF-3881)
directly to FMCSA's financial processing office by U.S. Postal Service,
courier service or secure fax.

Application Information for FY 2010 Grants

    General information about FMCSA grant programs is available in the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance which can be found on the
internet at http://www.cfda.gov. To apply for funding, applicants must
register with grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get-
registered.jsp and submit an application in accordance with
instructions provided for each grant program.
    If funds remain available within each grant program, applications
filed after the deadline will be considered.
    Evaluation Factors: The following evaluation factors will be used
in reviewing the applications for all FMCSA discretionary grants:
    (1) Prior performance--Completion of identified programs and goals
per the project plan.
    (2) Effective Use of Prior Grants--Demonstrated timely use and
expensing of available funds.
    (3) Cost Effectiveness--Applications will be evaluated and
prioritized on the expected safety impact relative to the investment of
grant funds. Where appropriate, costs per unit will be calculated and
compared with national averages to determine effectiveness. In other
areas, proposed costs will be compared with historical information to
confirm reasonableness.
    (4) Applicability to announced priorities--If national priorities
are included in the grants.gov notice, those proposals that
specifically address these issues will be given priority consideration.
    (5) Ability of the applicant to support the strategies and
activities in the proposal for the entire project period of
performance.
    (6) Use of innovative approaches in executing a project plan to
address identified safety issues.
    (7) Feasibility of overall program coordination and implementation
based upon the project plan.
    (8) Grant specific evaluation factors as described in the
grants.gov application information.

Safety Zone; Oswego Harborfest 2017 Breakwall and Barge Fireworks
Display; Oswego Harbor, Oswego, NY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on
Oswego Harbor, Oswego, NY. This safety zone is intended to restrict
vessels from a portion of the Oswego Harbor during the Oswego
Harborfest 2017 Breakwall and Barge Fireworks Display. This temporary
safety zone is necessary to protect mariners and vessels from the
navigational hazards associated with a fireworks display.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9:15 p.m. on July 29, 2017 until
10:45 p.m. July 30, 2017.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being

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

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 doing so would be impracticable. The
final details of this event were not known to the Coast Guard until
there was insufficient time remaining before the event to publish an
NPRM. Thus, delaying the effective date of this rule to wait for a
comment period to run would be impracticable because it would inhibit
the Coast Guard's ability to protect mariners and vessels from the
hazards associated with a maritime fireworks display.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register because doing so would be
impracticable and contrary to the public interest. Delaying the
effective date would be contrary to the rule's objectives of ensuring
safety of life on the navigable waters and protection of persons and
vessels near the event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Buffalo (COTP) has determined that a
maritime fireworks show presents significant risks to public safety and
property. Such hazards include premature and accidental detonations,
dangerous projectiles, and falling or burning debris. This rule is
needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the
navigable waters within the safety zone while the fireworks show is
taking place.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone on July 29, 2017, or in the
event of inclement weather July 30, 2017, from 9:15 p.m. until 10:45
p.m. The safety zone will encompass all waters of the Oswego Harbor,
Oswego, NY contained within a 700-foot radius of position
43[deg]28'06'' N., 076[deg]31'07'' W. along with a 350-foot radius of
the breakwall between positions 43[deg]27'54'' N., 076[deg]31'24'' W.
then northeast to 43[deg]27'59'' N., 076[deg]31'12'' W. (NAD 83).
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his
designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or his
designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

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. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to
reduce regulation and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for
every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be
identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be
prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process.''
    This rule has not been designated a ``significant regulatory
action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, it has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
    As this rule is not a significant regulatory action, this rule is
exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB's
Memorandum titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the
Executive Order of January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have 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 safety zone created by this rule will be
relatively small and enforced for a relatively short time. Also, the
safety zone is designed to minimize its impact on navigable waters.
Furthermore, the safety zone has been designed to allow vessels to
transit around it. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement within that
particular area are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port.

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
contact 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

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
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 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 it
is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule establishes a safety zone to ensure the safety of spectators or
public in the area. It is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2,
figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g) of the Instruction, which pertains to
establishment of safety zones. A Record of Environmental Consideration
(REC) supporting this determination is available in the docket where
indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    CAA section 211(v) requires EPA to take two actions. First, EPA
must complete ``a study to determine whether the renewable fuel volumes
required under [CAA section 211(o)] will adversely impact air quality
as a result in changes of vehicle and engine emissions of air
pollutants.'' The study, commonly known as the ``anti-backsliding
study,'' must include consideration of different blend levels, types of
renewable fuels, and available vehicle technologies, as well as
appropriate national, regional, and local air quality control measures.
EPA has completed the required study, which is available in the docket
for this action and at https://www.epa.gov/renewable-fuel-standard-program/anti-backsliding-determination-and-study.
    Second, considering the results of the study, EPA must proceed down
one of two paths: Either ``promulgate fuel regulations to implement
appropriate measures to mitigate, to the greatest extent achievable . .
. any adverse impacts on air quality, as a result of the renewable
volumes required by [Section 211]'' or ``make a determination that no
such measures are necessary.''

II. Proposed Determination

    We are proposing to determine that no additional appropriate fuel
control measures are necessary to mitigate adverse air quality impacts
of required renewable fuel volumes. More information on this
determination can be found in the supporting document, which is
available in the docket for this action and at https://www.epa.gov/renewable-fuel-standard-program/anti-backsliding-determination-and-study. We seek comment on this proposed determination.
