DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31198; Amdt. No. 3804]

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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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

DATES: This rule is effective June 14, 2018. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of June 14, 2018.

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

Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South

Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Procedures Division,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box

25082 Oklahoma City, OK 73125) telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20.
The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form documents is
unnecessary.
    This amendment provides the affected CFR sections, and specifies
the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their applicable effective
dates. This amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the
procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

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

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on the
criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument
Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific
conditions existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in
this rule have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an
emergency action of immediate flight safety relating directly to
published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979) ;
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

 BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


ASTM D2111-10 (2015), "Standard Test Methods for Specific Gravity of Halogenated Organic Solvents and Their Admixtures" as an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 24. This ASTM standard can be used to determine the density for the specific coatings (halogenated organic solvents) cited using Method B (pycnometer) only (as in ASTM 1217).
The ASTM standards (methods) are available for purchase individually through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Webstore, https://webstore.ansi.org. Telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> for customer service.
Additional information for the VCS search and determinations can be found in the memorandum Voluntary Consensus Standard Results for New Source Performance Standards Review for Industrial Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines, which is available in the docket for this action.
Under 40 CFR 60.8(b) and 60.13(i) of subpart A of the General Provisions, a source may apply to the EPA to use alternative test methods or alternative monitoring requirements in place of any required testing methods, performance specifications or procedures in the final rule or any amendments. The EPA welcomes comments on this aspect of the proposed rulemaking and, specifically, invites the public to identify potentially applicable VCS and to explain why such standards should be used in this regulation.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
This action does not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority populations, low-income populations, and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
We performed a demographic analysis for the surface coating of plastic parts for business machines source category, which is an assessment of the proximity of individual demographic groups living close to the facilities (within 50 km and within 5 km). Results of the demographic analysis indicate representation within 5 km of existing facilities of one group above the national average: People without a High School Diploma.
Following the directives set forth in multiple Executive Orders, the Agency has carefully analyzed the impacts of this action on communities with EJ concerns. For Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities, the proximity demographic analysis of the three existing sources subject to NSPS subpart TTT shows that key demographic indicators for the populations around these facilities (such as the proportion of residents who are low-income or people of color) are similar to or lower than the national average. Based on the EPA's determination that there will be no new, modified, or reconstructed sources over the next 8 years, we estimate that there will be no reduction in VOC emissions from proposed NSPS subpart TTTa and no EJ impacts. If a new source were to be constructed at a future date, the new emission limits proposed for NSPS subpart TTTa reflect the BSER demonstrated and establish a new more stringent standard of performance for the primary sources of VOC emissions from the source category. Thus, if a source were to be constructed, modified, or reconstructed, the EPA expects the proposed requirements in subpart TTT will result in VOC emission reductions for communities surrounding the affected subpart TTTa sources compared to the existing rule in subpart TTT and will result in lower VOC emissions for communities located in areas designated as ozone non-attainment areas. These areas are already overburdened by pollution.
Executive Order 12898 directs the EPA to identify the populations of concern who are most likely to experience unequal burdens from environmental harms; specifically, minority populations (i.e., people of color), low-income populations, and indigenous peoples (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). Additionally, Executive Order 13985 is intended to advance racial equity and support underserved communities through federal government actions (86 FR 7009, January 20, 2021). The EPA defines EJ as "the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies." The EPA further defines fair treatment to mean that "no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and commercial operations or programs and policies." In recognizing that minority and low-income populations often bear an unequal burden of environmental harms and risks, the EPA continues to consider ways of protecting them from adverse public health and environmental effects of air pollution.
This action proposes standards of performance for new, modified, and reconstructed sources that commence construction after the rule is proposed. Therefore, the future locations of the new sources at Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities are not known. In addition, it is not known which of the existing Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities will modify or reconstruct in the future. Therefore, the proximity demographic analysis was conducted for the three existing facilities to characterize the demographics in areas where the facilities are currently located.
To examine the potential for any EJ issues that might be associated with Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities, a demographic analysis assessed the individual demographic groups of the populations living within 5 kilometers (km) and 50 km of the three existing facilities. The EPA then compared the data from this analysis to the national average for each of the demographic groups.
The results of the demographic analysis (see Table 2) indicate that, for populations within 5 km of existing Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities, the percent of the population that are people of color (calculated as the total population minus the white population) is significantly lower than the national average (23 percent versus 40 percent). All demographic subgroups within people of color are also below the corresponding national averages. The percent of people living below the poverty level (10 percent) is below the national average (13 percent). The percent of the population that is over 25 without a high school diploma (13 percent) and those living in linguistic isolation (5 percent) were similar to the corresponding national averages (12 percent and 5 percent, respectively).
The results of the analysis of populations within 50 km of the three existing Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities are shown in Table 2. The percent of the population that are people of color (calculated as the total population minus the white population) is significantly lower than the national average (29 percent versus 40 percent). However, the percent of the population that is African American (17 percent) is higher than the national average (12 percent). All other demographic subgroups within people of color are below the corresponding national averages. The percent of people living below the poverty level (14 percent) is slightly above the national average (13 percent). The percent of the population that is over 25 without a high school diploma (10 percent) and those living in linguistic isolation (2 percent) were below the corresponding national averages (12 percent and 5 percent, respectively).
A summary of the proximity demographic assessment performed for the three existing Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities is included as Table 2. The methodology and the results of the demographic analysis are presented in a technical report, Analysis of Demographic Factors for Populations Living Near Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines, available in this docket for this action (Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0200).

*         To avoid double counting, the "Hispanic or Latino" category is treated as a distinct demographic category for these analyses. A person is identified as one of five racial/ethnic categories above: White, African American, Native American, Other and Multiracial, or Hispanic/Latino. A person who identifies as Hispanic or Latino is counted as Hispanic/Latino for this analysis, regardless of what race this person may have also identified as in the Census.

*This action proposes standards of performance for new, modified, and reconstructed sources that commence construction after the rule is proposed. Therefore, the locations of the construction of new Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities are not known. In addition, it is not known which of the existing Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines facilities will be modified or reconstructed in the future. Therefore, the demographic analysis was conducted for the 3 existing facilities as a characterization of the demographics in areas where these facilities are now located.

[Docket Number-USCG-2014-0995]
RIN 1625-AA87

Moving Security Zone; Escorted Vessels; MM 90.0-106.0, Lower
Mississippi River; New Orleans, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Interim rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing an interim rule, providing for
temporary moving security zones around vessels being escorted by one or
more Coast Guard or other Federal, State, or local law enforcement
assets, on the navigable waters of the Lower Mississippi River, New
Orleans, LA. This rule follows the interim rule that published in the
Federal Register on February 5, 2015, re-establishing the same moving
security zone regulations necessary for the safe transit and mooring of
vessels requiring escort protection by the Coast Guard for security
reasons as well as the safety and security of personnel and port
facilities. Entry into, remaining in or transiting through these zones
is prohibited for all vessels, mariners, and persons unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port New Orleans or a
designated representative. The Coast Guard seeks comments on this
interim rule specific to making this rule a permanent final rule.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from February 22,
2016. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from
December 30, 2015 until February 22, 2016. Comments and related
material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before April 22,
2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number [USCG-
2014-0995] using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On a routine basis, the Coast Guard previously established similar
temporary moving security zones around escorted vessels as temporary
final rules (TFR) for the Lower Mississippi River. Those TFRs are
accessible as explained above under ADDRESSES, [Docket Number USCG-
2013-0994, 79 FR 7587, Feb. 10, 2014 and Docket Number USCG-2011-1063,
77 FR 30402, May 23, 2012]. There is a difference in the size of the
moving security zones previously established through those TFRs. Docket
USCG-2013-0994 established a 100 yard zone and Docket USCG-2011-1063
established a 300 yard zone.
    The Coast Guard preceded this rule with another interim rule with
request for comments. Based on the quality of communication and
additional time allowed to grant permission to deviate from the rules,
the Coast Guard utilized the 300 yard zone for the previous interim
rule. On February 5, 2015, the previous interim rule was published in
the Federal Register (80 FR 6448). That interim rule was effective from
January 31, 2015 through July 1, 2015 without prior notice through
publication in the Federal Register, but also requested comments. The
Coast Guard received no comments on that interim rule and no requests
for public meetings. No public meetings were held. This rule re-
establishes the previous interim rule without changes with one
exception in the form of a technical revision which is discussed in
section III of this document below.
    Through the previous interim rule, the Coast Guard enforced
temporary moving security zones around vessels being escorted by one or
more Coast Guard or other Federal, State, or local law enforcement
assets on the navigable waters of the Lower Mississippi River between
river miles 90.0 to 106.0 Above Head of Passes (AHP), New Orleans, LA.
Once in effect, the specific enforcement dates and times for a
temporary moving security zone around an escorted vessel were noticed
through broadcast notices to mariners. The Coast Guard did not receive
any feedback causing us to believe the public opposes restrictions in
future years to continue facilitating safe navigation and commerce
during times of increased activity on and around the waterway.
    The legal basis and authorities for this rule are found in 33
U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5;
and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to establish and define
regulatory security zones. The purpose of this rule is to provide
enhanced protections related to escorted vessels transiting through the
Lower Mississippi River between river miles 90.0 to 106.0 AHP during
times of increased activity on and around the waterway. During these
times, certain vessels, including high capacity passenger vessels,
vessels carrying dignitaries or VIPs, vessels carrying certain
dangerous cargoes as defined in 33 CFR part 60, tank vessels
constructed to carry oil or hazardous materials in bulk, and vessels
carrying liquefied hazardous gas as defined in 33 CFR part 127 have
been deemed by the COTP New Orleans to require escort protection.
    As an additional protective measure for all those transiting the
waterway during a vessel's escort, the Coast Guard will establish
temporary moving security zones restricting navigation in portions of
the Lower Mississippi River between river miles 90.0 to 106.0 AHP to
provide both waterway and waterside security and protection. These
security zones are necessary to protect life and property, surrounding
and including escorted vessels and their personnel from destruction,
loss or injury from sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents or
other causes of a similar nature. This rule enables the COTP New
Orleans to provide effective port security. This rule is also intended
to minimize confusion and reduce administrative burdens related to
implementing multiple individual temporary rulemakings for each
security zone related to an escorted vessel.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this interim rule without prior notice
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 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. Minimal notice regarding vessel escort operations is customary
for security purposes. Based on risk evaluations completed, and
information gathered after evaluating the security needs for escorted
vessels during a period of high activity on and around the waterway,
the Coast Guard determined that moving security zones are required.
These moving security zones are needed to protect life and property,
surrounding and including escorted vessels and their personnel from
destruction, loss, or injury from sabotage or other subversive acts,
accidents, or other causes of a similar nature during vessel escort
operations. The NPRM process would be contrary to public interest by
delaying the effective date or foregoing the necessary protections
required for persons and property, surrounding and including escorted
vessels and their personnel. Immediate action for each vessel escort
and security zone is necessary to provide both waterway and waterside
security and protection for life and property, surrounding and
including escorted vessels and their personnel on the Lower Mississippi
River. The Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this
interim rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). Delaying the effective date
of this rule is unnecessary. From January 31, 2015 to July 1, 2015, the
previous interim rule was in effect and public comments were requested.
No public comments or requests for public meetings were received during
the effective period. External outreach to port and waterways
stakeholders confirmed no opposition to the interim rule as published.
As no substantive changes have been made to this interim rule, delaying
the effective date of the rule is unnecessary.

III. Discussion of Interim Rule

    Through this interim rule, the Coast Guard is re-establishing
temporary moving security zones as previously established under 33 CFR
165.843, published in the Federal Register on February 5, 2015 (80 FR
6448). As provided in the previous rule, the COTP New Orleans will
enforce temporary moving security zones related to escorted vessels.
Each security zone will extend 300 yards in all directions from the
escorted vessel as it transits the Lower Mississippi River between
river miles 90.0 to 106.0 AHP. Persons and vessels are prohibited from
entering, remaining in or transiting through the security zone
surrounding escorted vessels, unless authorized by the Coast Guard COTP
New Orleans or a COTP designated representative. A vessel may request
permission from the COTP New Orleans or the on-scene Coast Guard or
enforcement agency asset to deviate from the requirements of this rule.
Deviations from this rule may be requested from the COTP New Orleans
through the on-scene Coast Guard or enforcement agency asset, via VHF
Ch. 16 or 67. If permitted to enter the security zone or deviate from
this rule, a vessel must proceed at the minimum safe speed possible for
safe navigation and must comply with all orders issued by the COTP New
Orleans or the on-scene asset. Vessels permitted to deviate from this
rule and transit through the security zone shall maintain a distance of
at least 50 yards from the escorted vessel.
    An escorted vessel is a vessel, other than a large U.S. naval
vessel as defined in 33 CFR 165.2015, that is accompanied by one or
more Coast Guard assets or other Federal, State or local law
enforcement agency assets, clearly identifiable by flashing lights,
vessel markings, or with agency insignia as listed below: Coast Guard
surface or air asset displaying the Coast Guard insignia; Federal,
State and/or local law enforcement asset displaying the applicable
agency markings and/or equipment associated with the agency.
    In addition to the presence of these law enforcement assets for
escorted vessels, the COTP New Orleans or a designated representative
will inform the public through a broadcast notice to mariners that a
temporary moving security zone is in effect around the escorted vessel.
The broadcast notice to mariners of each temporary moving security zone
concerning escorted vessels will inform the public of the enforcement
period, size of the zone, and the navigable waters that will be
affected. The broadcast notice will normally be issued at approximately
30-minute intervals while the temporary moving security zone
restrictions remain in effect.
    The previous interim rule also requested comments. No comments were
received. No changes to the restrictions or regulations of the rule
have been made from the previous interim rule. One technical amendment
is being made to the rule. As previously published, paragraph (d) read
``Security Zone: A temporary moving security zone, extending 300 yards
in all directions of an escorted vessel, will be established around
each escorted vessel within the regulated area described in paragraph
(b) of this section. The security zone will not extend beyond the
boundary of the regulated area in this section.'' In this interim rule,
this section is changed to reflect the appropriate paragraph referenced
for the description of the regulated area, which is paragraph (c) of
the regulation. Paragraph (d) reads as follows; ``Security Zone: A
temporary moving security zone, extending 300 yards in all directions
of an escorted vessel, will be established around each escorted vessel
within the regulated area described in paragraph (c) of this section.
The security zone will not extend beyond the boundary of the regulated
area in this section.''

IV. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    E.O.s 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.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This interim rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under E.O. 12866. Accordingly, the interim rule
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
    This interim rule is not a significant regulatory action because
each individual temporary moving security zone enforced under this rule
will be in effect for short periods of time and notifications to the
marine community will be made through broadcast notices to mariners.
Deviation from this rule may be requested and will be considered on a
case-by-case basis by the COTP New Orleans or the on-scene Coast Guard
or enforcement agency asset. Approved deviations will allow other
vessels transiting the area to transit through the security zone,
maintaining a distance of at least 50 yards from the escorted vessel.
Additionally, the security zones are located within the New Orleans
Harbor Vessel Service Area where vessels are required to check in when
entering the area or departing berth. This check in requirement can
assist in early review and granting of permission to deviate from this
rule. Therefore, the impacts on routine navigation are expected to be
minimal.

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
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels, intending to
transit in the vicinity of escorted vessels between river miles 90.0
and 106.0 AHP of the Lower Mississippi River. This rule will not have
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because
the zones will be of limited sizes, encompassing the escorted vessel,
of short durations and notifications to the marine community will be
made through broadcast notices to mariners. In some cases, the security
zones will leave ample space for vessels to navigate around them. If
not, and security conditions permit, the COTP will attempt to provide
flexibility for individual vessels to transit through the zones as
needed. Deviation from this rule may be requested and will be
considered on a case-by-case basis by the COTP or the on-scene Coast
Guard or enforcement agency asset. Approved deviations will allow other
vessels transiting the area to transit through the security zone,
maintaining a distance of at least 50 yards from the escorted vessel.
Additionally, the security zones are located within the New Orleans
Harbor Vessel Service Area where vessels are required to check in when
entering the area or departing berth. This check-in requirement can
assist in early review and granting of permission to deviate from the
rule.
    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.
    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. 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 would 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 E.O. 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 E.O. 13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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. 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 made a preliminary
determination 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 temporary moving security zones that
prohibit persons and vessels from entering, remaining in or transiting
through the security zone surrounding escorted vessels as they transit
within the navigable waters of the Lower Mississippi between river
miles 90.0 to 106.0 AHP, unless authorized by the Coast Guard COTP or a

1. The authority citation for part 165 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50
U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; Pub. L.
107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland Security Delegation
No. 0170.1.

0
2. Add Sec.  165.843 to read as follows:

Sec.  165.843  Moving Security Zone; Escorted Vessels; Lower
Mississippi River; New Orleans, LA.

    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    COTP means Captain of the Port New Orleans, LA.
    Designated representatives means Coast Guard Patrol Commanders
including Coast Guard coxswains, petty officers and other officers
operating Coast Guard vessels, and Federal, State, and local officers
designated by or assisting the COTP, in the enforcement of the security
zone.
    Escorted vessel means a vessel, other than a large U.S. naval
vessel as defined in 33 CFR 165.2015, that is accompanied by one or
more Coast Guard assets or other Federal, State or local law
enforcement agency assets clearly identifiable by flashing lights,
vessel markings, or with agency insignia as follows: Coast Guard
surface or air asset displaying the Coast Guard insignia. State and/or
local law enforcement asset displaying the applicable agency markings
and/or equipment associated with the agency.
    Minimum safe speed for navigation means the speed at which a vessel
proceeds when it is fully off plane, completely settled in the water
and not creating excessive wake or surge. Due to the different speeds
at which vessels of different sizes and configurations may travel while
in compliance with this definition, no specific speed is assigned to a
minimum safe speed for navigation. In no instance should minimum safe
speed be interpreted as a speed less than that required for a
particular vessel to maintain steerageway. A vessel is not proceeding
at minimum safe speed if it is:
    (i) On a plane;
    (ii) In the process of coming up, onto or coming off a plane; or
    (iii) Creating an excessive wake or surge.
    (b) Regulated area. All navigable waters, as defined in 33 CFR
2.36, on the Lower Mississippi River between river miles 90.0 to 106.0
Above Head of Passes (AHP), New Orleans, Louisiana.
    (c) Security zone. A temporary moving security zone, extending 300
yards in all directions of an escorted vessel, will be established
around each escorted vessel within the regulated area described in
paragraph (b) of this section. The security zone will not extend beyond
the boundary of the regulated area in this section.
    (d) Notice of security zone. The COTP will inform the public of the
existence or status of any temporary moving security zones around
escorted vessels in the regulated area by broadcast notices to
mariners. The broadcast notice to mariners will inform the public of
the enforcement period, size of the zone, and the navigable waters that
will be affected, and will normally be issued at approximately 30-
minute intervals while the moving security zone remains in effect.
Escorted vessels will be identified by the presence of Coast Guard
assets or other Federal, State or local law enforcement agency assets
clearly identified by flashing lights, vessel markings, or agency
insignia.
    (e) Regulations. (1) In accordance with the general regulations in
Sec.  165.33 of subpart D of this part, no person or vessel may enter
or remain in a security zone without the permission of the Captain of
the Port. Section 165.33 also contains other general requirements.
    (2) Vessels may request permission from the Captain of the Port New
Orleans through the on-scene Coast Guard or other agency asset to enter
the security zone described in paragraph (c) of this section.
    (i) If permission to enter and transit through the security zone is
granted, the vessel shall operate at the minimum speed necessary to
maintain a safe course, unless required to maintain speed by the
Navigation Rules, and must proceed as directed by the COTP or a
designated representative. When within the security zone, no vessel or
person is allowed within 50 yards of the escorted vessel unless
authorized by the Coast Guard.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (f) Contact information. The COTP New Orleans may be reached via
phone at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Any on-scene Coast Guard or designated
representative assets may be reached via VHF-FM channel 16 or 67.

    Dated: December 30, 2015.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. 95-NM-215-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-100 and -
200 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: This action withdraws a supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to certain Model 737-100 and -200 series airplanes. That
action would have superseded an existing AD that requires various
inspections for cracks in the outboard chord of the frame at body
station (BS) 727 and in the outboard chord of stringer 18A; and repair
or replacement of cracked parts. That action also would have added
inspections for certain airplanes, revised certain compliance times for
all airplanes, and added airplanes to the applicability. Since the
issuance of the supplemental NPRM, the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has received revised service information that will significantly
change the requirements proposed by the supplemental NPRM. Accordingly,
the proposed rule is withdrawn.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alan Pohl, Aerospace Engineer,
Airframe Branch, ANM-120S, FAA, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office,
1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057-3356; telephone (425)
917-6450; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to add an airworthiness directive
(AD), applicable to certain Model 737-100 and -200 series airplanes,
was published in the Federal Register as a supplemental Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on July 10, 2001 (66 FR 35912). That
supplemental NPRM proposed to supersede AD 95-12-17, Amendment 39-9268
(60 FR 36981, July 24, 1995). That supplemental NPRM would have
continued to require various inspections for cracks in the outboard
chord of the frame at body station (BS) 727 and in the outboard chord
of stringer 18A; and repair or replacement of cracked parts. That
supplemental NPRM also would have added inspections for certain
airplanes, revised certain compliance times for all airplanes, and
added airplanes to the applicability. That supplemental NPRM was
prompted by reports of fatigue cracks in those outboard chords. The
proposed actions were intended to detect and correct fatigue cracking,
which could result in reduced structural integrity of the outboard
chords, and consequent rapid decompression of the airplane.

Actions That Occurred Since the Supplemental NPRM Was Issued

    Since the issuance of that supplemental NPRM, The Boeing Company
has issued revised service information that is significantly changed
from the service information referenced in the supplemental NPRM. As a
result, substantial changes to the requirements proposed in the
supplemental NPRM are necessary.

FAA's Conclusions

    The FAA has determined that the best course of action is to
withdraw the supplemental NPRM and issue a new NPRM with revised
requirements referencing the updated service information. Accordingly,
the proposed rule is hereby withdrawn.
    Withdrawal of this supplemental NPRM constitutes only such action,
and does not preclude the agency from issuing another action in the
future, nor does it commit the agency to any course of action in the
future.

Regulatory Impact

    Since this action only withdraws a supplemental NPRM, it is neither
a proposed nor a final rule and therefore is not covered under
Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Withdrawal

    Accordingly, the supplemental NPRM, Docket No. 95-NM-215-AD,
published in the Federal Register on July 10, 2001 (66 FR 35912), is
withdrawn.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on May 4, 2010.

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2016-N-0001]

The Sentinel Post-Licensure Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring
Program; Public Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public
workshop entitled ``The Sentinel Post-Licensure Rapid Immunization
Safety Monitoring (PRISM) Program.'' The purpose of the workshop is to
describe the Sentinel Initiative and PRISM program, illustrate how
PRISM is used by FDA for regulatory responsibilities (including how it
has been integrated into FDA's regulatory review process and case
examples), and discuss the future direction of PRISM in terms of
expansion and further integration into the regulatory review process.

DATES: The public workshop will be held on December 7, 2016, from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
registration date and information.

ADDRESSES: The public workshop will be held at the National Institutes
of Health, 8600 Rockville Pike, Lister Hill Center Auditorium, Building
38A, Bethesda, MD 20894.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chris Nguyen, Center for Biologics
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 71, Rm. 4124, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002; or
Cynthia Whitmarsh, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Food
and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 71, Rm. 4122,
Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002: For questions, email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(Subject Line: Sentinel PRISM Workshop).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Sentinel Initiative is FDA's national
electronic surveillance system for the post-market safety monitoring of
medical products. The Sentinel System was implemented as an Active
Post-Market Risk Identification and Analysis program in response to
section 905 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007.
PRISM was initiated in 2009 as one of several national vaccine safety
surveillance systems deployed during the H1N1 influenza pandemic. PRISM
was integrated into the FDA Sentinel Initiative in September 2010.
PRISM has been used on multiple occasions to evaluate for vaccine-
adverse events, such as the risk of intussusception following rotavirus
vaccination, and the risk of febrile seizure among children receiving
the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine.
    The PRISM distributed database covers more than 171 million
individuals in a number of data partner organizations. The database is
enhanced by linkages to State-wide registries and birth registries.
PRISM is being used to develop broad-based signal detection tools that
can be used to further evaluate vaccine safety. There are currently
several active vaccine protocol-based assessments underway. More
information can be found at: http://www.mini-sentinel.org/assessments/medical_events/default.aspx.
    The workshop will bring together other government agencies,
academia, industry, and other stakeholder participants involved in
vaccine development and safety. The goal of the workshop is to present
and discuss the current capabilities of PRISM. Topics include: (1) The
available data infrastructure, (2) methods, and (3) tools. In addition,
a few representative examples of PRISM studies will be presented to
demonstrate the program's success in safety signal refinement and
evaluation and informing the regulatory process. There will also be a
discussion of possible future directions for PRISM.
    Registration: Please visit the following Web site to register for
the workshop by November 23, 2016, midnight Eastern Standard Time:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-sentinel-post-licensure-rapid-immunization-safety-monitoring-prism-system-public-workshop-tickets-22494636062. There is no registration fee for the public workshop.
Early registration is recommended because seating is limited.
Registrants will receive confirmation once they have been

accepted. FDA may limit the number of participants from each
organization based on space limitations. Registration on the day of the
public meeting will be provided on a space available basis beginning at
8:30 a.m. Those who are unable to attend the meeting in person can
register to view a live Web cast of the meeting. You will be asked to
indicate in your registration if you plan to attend in person or via
the Web cast. FDA will post the agenda approximately 5 days before the
workshop at http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/NewsEvents/WorkshopsMeetingsConferences/ucm490175.htm.
    If you need special accommodations because of disability, please
contact Chris Nguyen (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) at least 7
days in advance of the meeting.
