SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

III. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply
to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are
establishments engaged in the production, use, and/or advancement of
safer chemicals, that have furthered the goals of DfE through active
and exemplary participation in and promotion of the program, and that
wish to receive recognition for their achievements.
    Title: EPA's Design for the Environment (DfE) Partner of the Year
Awards Program.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2450.01, OMB Control No. 2070-new.
    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity.
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
in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing
in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are
displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: EPA has developed the Partner of the Year Awards to
recognize DfE stakeholders who have furthered the goals of DfE through
active and exemplary participation in and promotion of the DfE program.
Making DfE's mission known to the widest possible audience, through its
safer product label and in other forms of communication, is critical to
fully realizing the program's goals of protecting human health and the
environment, promoting a sustainable economy, and creating green jobs,
especially in the small business sector.
    The Partner of the Year Awards will be an annual event, with
recognition for DfE stakeholder organizations from five broad
categories: (1) Formulators/product manufacturers (of both consumer and
institutional/industrial (I/I) products), (2) purchasers and
distributors, (3) retailers, (4) supporters (e.g., non-governmental
organizations, including environmental and health advocates, trade
associations, academia, sports teams, and others), and (5) innovators
(e.g., chemical manufacturers, technology developers, and others).
Within these categories and based on the criteria, DfE may elect to
give additional awards in the subcategories of ``small business'' and
``sustained excellence.'' This information collection activity
addresses the reporting burden associated with making application to
EPA for recognition in the Partner of the Year Awards program.
    Responses to this information collection are voluntary. Respondents
may claim all or part of a response confidential. EPA will disclose
information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the
extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA
section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 15
hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 110.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,650 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $69,790. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $69,790 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2012-0080]
RIN 1625-AA11

Regulated Navigation Area; Southern Oahu Tsunami Vessel
Evacuation Honolulu, HI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a permanent regulated
navigation area (RNA) in the waters off Southern Oahu, Hawaii,
enforcement of which will take place only when a tsunami warning is
issued for the Hawaiian Islands by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
Tsunami warnings require the evacuation of a large number of vessels
from their respective harbors. Following the evacuation, these vessels
must remain offshore until the emergency situation has passed and the
harbors have been deemed safe for reentry. Past tsunami warnings have
created potentially dangerous offshore traffic congestion between
commercial and recreational vessel traffic. Because of this, designated
vessel traffic staging areas are necessary for a safe and orderly
evacuation of Southern Oahu ports.

DATES: This rule is effective March 31, 2014.

RNA Regulated Navigation Area

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard collaborated with the Hawaii Ocean Safety Team, the
Industry Advisory Board and other industry partners in the initial
development of this rule. On May 14, 2013, the Coast Guard published an
NPRM in the Federal Register (78 FR 28170). The Coast Guard received a
number of comments which, after careful consideration, prompted the
Coast Guard to make significant changes to the originally proposed
rule. On October 3, 2013, the Coast Guard published an SNPRM in the
Federal Register (78 FR 61223), under the same docket number, which
reflected changes from the original rule proposed based on comments
received on the NPRM. The Coast Guard received a total of one comment
on the SNPRM. That comment, along with the comments received during the
initial NPRM state, are posted, without change, at http://www.regulations.gov. To view the comments in full go to http://www.regulations.gov, insert USCG-2012-0080 in the ``SEARCH'' box, and
then click ``SEARCH.'' The following link will take you directly to the
docket: http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=USCG-2012-0080.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The purpose of this rule is to provide vessels with an off-shore
area to loiter in the event of a tsunami warning for Southern Oahu. In
the event of a tsunami threat, both recreational vessels and commercial
vessels may desire or be mandated to leave port to avoid potential
damage to their vessel and the port. The creation of an off-shore area
for vessels to loiter in an organized fashion is important to decrease
confusion and unsafe conditions during the tsunami threat. This
regulated navigation area is also crafted to decrease potentially
dangerous off-shore traffic congestion between commercial and
recreational vessel traffic by separating these classes of vessels.
    The Coast Guard has met with industry partners, commercial
mariners, and recreational boaters in the creation of this rule.
    The statutory basis for this rulemaking is 33 U.S.C. 1231, which
gives the Coast Guard, under a delegation from the Secretary of
Homeland Security, regulatory authority to enforce the Ports and
Waterways Safety Act. A regulated navigation area is a water area
within a defined boundary for which regulations for vessels navigating
within the area have been established to mitigate potentially hazardous
conditions, such as vessel congestion, deemed to exist in that area.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to provide greater safety for vessels
and maritime commerce in the event of a tsunami threat.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard received a total of one comment on the SNPRM
published on October 3, 2013, in the Federal Register.
    The commenter suggested changes to the rule to more accurately
reflect use of the 50-fathom curve as a point of reference. The
coordinates of the RNA and staging areas have been modified to reflect
a more accurate use of the 50-fathom line as the northern-most border
for the RNA. Other non-substantive edits, intending only to simplify
the language, were made to the final rule.

D. Discussion of the Final Rule

    Honolulu Harbor has only one entrance for large commercial vessels
and is the principle harbor of Hawaii's hub and spoke maritime commerce

system. If, during an emergency, a marine incident were to occur off
the southern shore of Oahu, especially near the entrance of Honolulu
Harbor, the results could be devastating to Hawaii's economy and the
maritime commerce system and the constituencies that rely heavily upon
the system's viability.
    Earthquakes off Chile and Japan in February 2010 and March 2011,
respectively, resulted in tsunami threats to the Main Hawaiian Islands.
These incidents emphasized the need to establish heightened safety
measures, to ensure an orderly and organized evacuation plan, in order
to protect the infrastructure of the southern coast of Oahu, Hawaii,
including Honolulu Harbor.
    In response to this risk, the Coast Guard is establishing a
regulated navigation area designated as the Southern Oahu Tsunami
Evacuation zone.
    In the event of a tsunami warning, the Coast Guard Captain of the
Port (COTP) for Honolulu will notify the public that an enforcement
period is in effect for the duration of the emergency. At the
conclusion of the threat, the COTP will notify the public when the RNA
enforcement period is suspended or terminated. The COTP will use all
available means to notify the public about the enforcement and
suspension of the RNA. Methods of communication include, but are not
limited to, radio broadcasts via VHF-HF, Marine Safety Information
Broadcasts (MSIB's), telephone and email.
    During the enforcement period, the COTP intends to deploy Coast
Guard assets, if feasible, to ensure participating commercial and
recreational vessels move to and stay within separate staging areas.
Paragraph (b)(5) of Sec.  165.1413 identifies an exclusionary area that
will separate staging areas. This exclusionary area will measure 3.7
nautical miles long by one (1) nautical mile wide, centering lengthwise
and along a line running seaward at 208 degrees southwest of the
Honolulu Harbor Range light. When the RNA is being enforced, all
vessels are required to remain outside the exclusionary area except for
during transiting.
    Three staging areas, outside of the exclusionary area, will be
established. There will be one recreational vessel staging area to the
west of the exclusionary area. This recreational staging area is
intended for recreational vessels departing from and returning to the
Keehi Lagoon area or other areas to the west of Honolulu Harbor. The
staging area east of the exclusionary area is divided into two areas; a
commercial staging area and a second recreational vessel staging area.
This eastern recreational vessel staging area is intended for use by
recreational vessels departing from and returning to the Ala Wai Small
Boat harbor and Kewalo Basin. Recreational vessels can use either the
east or west staging area. The mariner's decision for which staging
area to use should be based on which staging area is the easiest to
transit to so as to avoid crossing the path of other vessels. The
commercial vessel staging area is intended for use by all commercial
vessels departing from and returning to Kewalo Basin and Honolulu
Harbor.
    All vessels wishing to remain within this RNA while it is being
enforced must stage in accordance with this rule. However, there is no
requirement that any vessel, commercial or recreational, must remain in
the RNA.
    A graphic of the regulated navigation area is posted on the United
States Coast Guard Sector Honolulu Homeport Web page (https://homeport.uscg.mil/mycg/portal/ep/portDirectory.do?tabId=1&cotpId=27)
under the Waterways Management tab and is also posted in the docket for
this rulemaking. The graphic shows how we expect to separate commercial
and recreational vessels when the RNA is being enforced, but under
actual enforcement conditions local commanders may vary their response
as conditions warrant.

E. 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 or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, because it
would have an effect on the regulated public only in the rare
circumstances of a tsunami threat, while at other times vessels will be
able to transit the area freely. Therefore, it 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 that Order.

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 rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule would affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending
to transit and remain in the exclusionary zone during a tsunami threat,
or owners or operators of vessels otherwise intending to operate in a
fashion not compatible with this rule. This rule would not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because
the RNA would only be activated, and thus subject to enforcement, when
a tsunami warning has been issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning
Center.
    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 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.
    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.

4. 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).

5. Federalism

    A final 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.

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 or more in any
one year. Though this rule would not result in such expenditure, we do
discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not affect 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 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 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 might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

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

14. 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 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 rule is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph (34)(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination are available in this docket.

21[deg]13'30'' N, 157[deg]54'05'' W; 21[deg]13'30'' N, 157[deg]51'36''
W; 21[deg]15'55'' N, 157[deg]50'58'' W and then along the 50-fathom
line to the beginning point. This staging area is intended for use by
all commercial vessels intended to remain in the RNA during a tsunami
treat.
    (4) The Eastern Recreational Vessel Staging Area is bound by the
following points: 21[deg]15'55'' N, 157[deg]50'58'' W; 21[deg]13'30''
N, 157[deg]51'36'' W; 21[deg]13'30'' N, 157[deg]48'20'' W;
21[deg]14'14'' N, 157[deg]48'20'' W and then along the 50-fathom line
to the beginning point. The Commercial Vessel Staging Area borders this
staging area's western edge. The dividing line between the Commercial
Vessel Staging Area and the Eastern Recreational Vessel Staging Area
can be determined

visually. The private dayboards located in the Ala Wai Small Boat
Harbor and the La Ronde Rotating Restaurant roof top restaurant form a
natural range that mariners can use in daylight hours to gauge the
eastern boundary of the Commercial Vessel Staging Area and the western
boundary of the Eastern Recreational Vessel Staging Area. This eastern
recreational staging area is intended for use by recreational vessels
departing from and returning to the Ala Wai Small Boat harbor and
Kewalo Basin.
    (5) Located between the Western Recreational Vessel Staging Area
and the Commercial Vessel Staging Area is an Exclusion Area. This area
is bound by the following points: 21[deg]16'46'' N, 157[deg]53'23'' W;
21[deg]13'30'' N, 157[deg]55'17'' W; 21[deg]13'30'' N, 157[deg]54'05''
W; 21[deg]16'48'' N, 157[deg]52'10'' W and then along the 50-fathom
line to the beginning point.
    (6) All vessels staging in the RNA must be seaward of the 50-fathom
(300 foot) line.
    (c) Enforcement period. Paragraph (b) of this section will be
enforced when a tsunami warning has been issued for the Hawaiian
Islands by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The COTP will notify the
public of any enforcement, suspension of enforcement, or termination of
enforcement through appropriate means to ensure the widest publicity,
including the use of broadcast notice to mariners, notices of
enforcement and press releases.
    (d) Penalties. Vessels or persons violating this rule are subject
to the penalties set forth in 33 U.S.C. 1232.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2020-0684]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Breton Sound, New Orleans, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain navigable waters of Breton Sound, LA. The safety zone
encompasses all navigable waters within a 100-yard radius of the LOBO
Durango platform riser in Breton Sound Block 49 at 29 27.000 N, 089
17.682 W. The temporary safety zone is necessary to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by
emergency repair operations to the damaged structure. Entry of vessels
or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized
by the Captain of the Port Sector New Orleans or an authorized
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from November 23,
2020 through December 4, 2020. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from November 10, 2020 until November 23, 2020.

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 it is impracticable. It is
impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must establish this
temporary safety zone as soon as possible and lack sufficient time to
provide a reasonable comment period and then consider those comments
before issuing the rule.
    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 public interest because immediate action
is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with
the emergency repairs on/near LOBO Durango platform riser.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Sector New
Orleans (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with
emergency repair operations, consisting of securing and repairing the
damaged LOBO Durango structure, will be of a safety concern for anyone
within a 100-yard radius of the structure, located at approximately 29
27.000 N, 089 17.682 W, Breton Sound, Block 49. This rule is necessary
to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment on the
navigable waters within the safety zone while the repairs are being
carried out.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone starting November 10, 2020
until approximately December 4, 2020, or until repairs are complete,
whichever comes first. The temporary safety zone will encompass all
navigable waters within 100-yards radius of the LOBO Durango structure
located in Breton Sound, Block 49, at approximately 29 27.000 N, 089
17.682 W. The duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable waters while the
structure is being repaired. No vessel or person will be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a
designated representative. Vessels requiring entry into this safety
zone must request permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. They may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16 or 67 or by
telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Persons and vessels permitted to enter
this safety zone must transit at their slowest safe speed and comply
with all lawful directions issued by the COTP or the designated
representative. The COTP or a designated representative will inform the
public of the enforcement times and date for this safety zone through
Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNMs), Local Notices to Mariners (LNMs),
and/or Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs), as appropriate.

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 13771 directs agencies to control regulatory costs
through a budgeting process. This rule has not been designated a
``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size and
duration of the temporary safety zone. This safety zone will restrict
vessel traffic from entering or remaining within a 100-yard radial
section of Breton Sound, Block 49, while an emergency repairs to LOBO
Durango structure occur. The repairs are expected to take no longer
than 30 days. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notices
to Mariners (BNMs) via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the
rule allows vessels to seek permission to enter the zone, Local Notices
to Mariners (LNMs), and/or Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs),
as appropriate.

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
temporary 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
temporary safety zone that prohibits entry within 100-yard radius of
the LOBO Durango structure located at approximately 29 27.000 N, 089
17.682 W, Breton Sound, Block 49 for about 30 days. It is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph L[60a] 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.

CL-604 Variants) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This
proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The
MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    A specific batch of nose landing gear (NLG) and NLG door
selector valves, part number (P/N) 601R75146-1 (Kaiser Fluid
Technologies P/N 750006000), may have had their end caps incorrectly
lock-wired and/or incorrectly torqued during assembly. This
condition can lead to the end cap backing off, with consequent
damage to a seal and internal leakage within the valve.
    Subsequently, if electrical power is transferred or removed from
the aircraft before the NLG safety pin is installed, any pressure,
including residual pressure, in the No. 3 hydraulic system can
result in an uncommanded NLG retraction.

    The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address
the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 12, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2010-0169;
Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-102-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD based on those comments.
    We have lengthened the 30-day comment period for proposed ADs that
address MCAI originated by aviation authorities of other countries to
provide adequate time for interested parties to submit comments. The
comment period for these proposed ADs is now typically 45 days, which
is consistent with the comment period for domestic transport ADs.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    On June 25, 2007, we issued AD 2007-14-02, Amendment 39-15124 (72
FR 38004, July 12, 2007). That AD required actions intended to address
an unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2007-14-02, we have received a report that a
number of nose landing gears (NLG) and door selector valves of the NLG
may have had their end caps incorrectly lock-wired and incorrectly
torqued during assembly. Transport Canada Civil Aviation, which is the
aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness
Directive CF-2009-21R1, dated May 20, 2009 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    A specific batch of nose landing gear (NLG) and NLG door
selector valves, part number (P/N) 601R75146-1 (Kaiser Fluid
Technologies P/N 750006000), may have had their end caps incorrectly
lock-wired and/or incorrectly torqued during assembly. This
condition can lead to the end cap backing off, with consequent
damage to a seal and internal leakage within the valve.
Subsequently, if electrical power is transferred or removed from the
aircraft before the NLG safety pin is installed, any pressure,
including residual pressure, in the No. 3 hydraulic system can
result in an uncommanded NLG retraction.
    Although there have been no such cases reported on the
Challenger models covered by this directive, there have been six
cases reported on the CRJ (CL600-2B19) aircraft, one of which
resulted in the collapse of the NLG at the departure gate.
    This directive mandates a check of the NLG and NLG door selector
valves installed on all aircraft in the Applicability section * * *.
Depending on the results; replacement, rework and/or additional
identification of the valves may be required.
    This [MCAI] revision corrects a Service Bulletin number in the
Corrective Actions table.
    Notes:
    1. The check is required whether or not an aircraft has
previously been checked in accordance with AD CF-2006-16R1 (now
superseded and cancelled by this AD). This is necessary since,
following the issuance of AD CF-2006-16R1, it has been determined
that the serial number (S/N) range of the affected valves requires
expansion from the previous upper limit of S/N 0767 to S/N 2126 and
the exact location of each of these additional valves is unknown.
    2. Valves that have a S/N with suffix ``T'' have been
manufactured by Tactair Fluid Controls Inc. and do not require any
corrective action.
    3. Valves manufactured by Kaiser Fluid Technologies, P/N
750006000, with S/N 0001 through 2126, and ink stamp ``SB750006000-
1'', have already been checked and reworked as necessary and do not
require any additional corrective action.
    4. The Illustrated Parts Catalog, for each of the models covered
in the Applicability section * * *, gives instructions not to
install a valve manufactured by Kaiser Fluid Technologies, P/N
750006000, with S/N 0001 through 2126, if the marking ``SB750006000-
1'' is not ink stamped on the valve.
    5. CL-600-2B16 (CL-605) aircraft, S/Ns 5701 and subsequent, are
not affected by this directive. They were delivered with valves, P/N
750006000, that have either a S/N with suffix ``T'' or have the ink
stamp marking ``SB750006000-1''.

    We have clarified the applicability of this AD by removing serial
numbers 5666 through 5699 that were included in AD 2007-14-02. Those
serial numbers do not exist for the affected airplane models in this
AD. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 600-0721, Revision 03, dated
February 23, 2009; Service Bulletin 601-0558, Revision 03, dated
February 23, 2009; and Service Bulletin 604-32-021, Revision 04, dated
February 23, 2009. The actions described in this service information
are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this

AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined an
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 82 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2007-14-02 and retained in this
proposed AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost
of the currently required actions for U.S. operators is $6,970, or $85
per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $6,970, or $85 per
product.

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.

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); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15124 (72 FR
38004, July 12, 2007) and adding the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2010-0169; Directorate Identifier
2009-NM-102-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by April 12, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) The proposed AD supersedes AD 2007-14-02, Amendment 39-
15124.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. airplanes, certificated
in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3)
of this AD.
    (1) Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), serial numbers 1004 through 1085
inclusive.
    (2) Model CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), serial numbers 3001 through 3066
inclusive.
    (3) Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604), serial
numbers 5001 through 5194 inclusive, and serial numbers 5301 through
5665 inclusive.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32: Landing
Gear.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    ``A specific batch of nose landing gear (NLG) and NLG door
selector valves, part number (P/N) 601R75146-1 (Kaiser Fluid
Technologies P/N 750006000), may have had their end caps incorrectly
lock-wired and/or incorrectly torqued during assembly. This
condition can lead to the end cap backing off, with consequent
damage to a seal and internal leakage within the valve.
Subsequently, if electrical power is transferred or removed from the
aircraft before the NLG safety pin is installed, any pressure,
including residual pressure, in the No. 3 hydraulic system can
result in an uncommanded NLG retraction.
    ``Although there have been no such cases reported on the
Challenger models covered by this directive, there have been six
cases reported on the CRJ (CL600-2B19) aircraft, one of which
resulted in the collapse of the NLG at the departure gate.
    ``This directive mandates a check of the NLG and NLG door
selector valves installed on all aircraft in the Applicability
section * * *. Depending on the results; replacement, rework and/or
additional identification of the valves may be required.
    ``This [MCAI] revision corrects a Service Bulletin number in the
Corrective Actions table.
    ``Notes:
    ``1. The check is required whether or not an aircraft has
previously been checked in accordance with AD CF-2006-16R1 (now
superseded and cancelled by this AD). This is necessary since,
following the issuance of AD CF-2006-16R1, it has been determined
that the serial number (S/N) range of the affected valves requires
expansion from the previous upper limit of S/N 0767 to S/N 2126 and
the exact location of each of these additional valves is unknown.
    ``2. Valves that have a S/N with suffix `T' have been
manufactured by Tactair Fluid Controls Inc. and do not require any
corrective action.
    ``3. Valves manufactured by Kaiser Fluid Technologies, P/N
750006000, with S/N 0001 through 2126, and ink stamp `SB750006000-
1', have already been checked and reworked as necessary and do not
require any additional corrective action.
    ``4. The Illustrated Parts Catalog, for each of the models
covered in the Applicability section * * *, gives instructions not
to install a valve manufactured by Kaiser Fluid Technologies, P/N
750006000, with S/N 0001 through 2126, if the marking `SB750006000-
1' is not ink stamped on the valve.
    ``5. CL-600-2B16 (CL-605) aircraft, S/Ns 5701 and subsequent,
are not affected by this

directive. They were delivered with valves, P/N 750006000, that have
either a S/N with suffix `T' or have the ink stamp marking
`SB750006000-1'.''

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2007-14-02 With New Service
Information but No Changes to Actions

Inspection and Corrective Action

    (g) For airplanes having serial numbers (S/Ns) as identified in
the service bulletins specified in Table 1 of this AD, as
applicable: Within 500 flight hours or 12 months after August 16,
2007 (the effective date AD 2007-14-02), whichever occurs first,
inspect to determine the manufacturer part numbers (P/Ns) and serial
numbers of the selector valves of the nose landing gear (NLG) and
nose gear door. A review of airplane maintenance records is
acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the serial numbers of the
selector valves can be conclusively determined from that review. For
any subject selector valve having Tactair Fluid Controls P/N
750006000 and a S/N from 0001 through 0767 inclusive, before further
flight, do related investigative (including a general visual
inspection for proper installation of the lock wire of the end cap)
and corrective actions; in accordance with the applicable service
bulletin identified in Table 1 of this AD. After the effective date
of this AD, use only the applicable service bulletin specified in
Table 2 of this AD.

    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, April 29, 2010.

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://
www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The filings in the above proceedings are accessible in the
Commission's eLibrary system by clicking on the appropriate link in the
above list. They are also available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an eSubscription link
on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail notification
