intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 7, 2022.
How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is explained
below.

Protests

    Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\1\ any person \2\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.

    Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section

157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\3\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is January 7, 2022. A protest may also
serve as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also
seeks to be an intervenor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 18 CFR 157.205(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interventions

    Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \4\ and the regulations under the NGA \5\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is January 7, 2022. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information

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
information collection are companies under contract to the
Environmental Protection Agency to provide certain services, whose
employees must have access to Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
confidential business information to perform their duties.
    Title: Request for Contractor Access to TSCA CBI.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1250.09, OMB Control No. 2070-0075.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on November
30, 2010. 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: Certain employees of companies working under contract to
EPA require access to TSCA confidential business information collected
under the authority of TSCA in order to perform their official duties.
The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), which is
responsible for maintaining the security of TSCA confidential business
information, requires that all individuals desiring access to TSCA CBI
obtain and annually renew official clearance to TSCA CBI. As part of
the process for obtaining TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires certain
information about the contracting company and about each contractor
employee requesting TSCA CBI clearance, primarily the name, Social
Security Number and EPA identification badge number of the employee,
the type of TSCA CBI clearance requested and the justification for such
clearance, and the signature of the employee to an agreement with
respect to access to and use of TSCA CBI.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.6
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 30.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
12.5.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 601 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $30,253. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $30,253 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval?

    There is an increase of 155 hours in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase reflects EPA's estimate of the number of contractor
employees affected by this information collection.V. 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.

    Title: Exclusion Determinations for New Nonroad Spark-ignited
Engines, New Nonroad Compression-ignited Engines, and New On-road Heavy
Duty Engines (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1852.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0395.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 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 in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the
Administrator is required to promulgate regulations to control air
pollutant emissions from motor vehicles and nonroad engines, as defined
in the CAA. Motor vehicles and non-road engines not meeting the
applicable definitions are excluded from compliance with current
regulations. A manufacturer may make an exclusion determination by
itself; however, manufacturers and importers may request EPA to make
such determination to ensure that their determination does not differ
from the Agency's. To request an exclusion determination, manufacturers
submit a letter with a description of the engine and/or vehicle (engine
type, horsepower rating, intended usage, etc.) and sales brochures or
pictures. The request must be submitted to either the Gasoline Engine
Compliance Center (GECC) or the Diesel Engine Compliance Center

(DECC). Both Centers are part of Compliance Division, Office of
Transportation and Air Quality. GECC and DECC use this information to
determine whether the engine or vehicle is excluded from compliance
with one or more emission regulations. GECC and DECC then store the
data in its internal files, and make it available to the public upon
request under the Freedom of Information Act.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 6
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: manufacturers of new nonroad spark-
ignited engines, new nonroad compression-ignited engines, and new on-
road heavy duty engines.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,040 includes $11 in annualized
capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of
58 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a lower
estimated number of respondents.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
elements of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission from the State
of Texas for the Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). The submittal addresses how the existing SIP
provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the 2010
SO2 NAAQS (infrastructure SIP or i-SIP). This i-SIP ensures
that the State's SIP is adequate to meet the state's responsibilities
under the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This final rule is effective on February 10, 2016.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R06-OAR-2013-0388. All documents in the docket are listed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document wherever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean the EPA.

I. Background

    The background for this action is discussed in detail in our
October 6, 2015 proposal (80 FR 60314). In that document, we proposed
to approve portions of the SIP submittal from the State of Texas
adopted on April 23, 2013, and submitted on May 6, 2013. The submittal
addresses how the existing SIP provides for implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. This i-
SIP ensures that the State's SIP is adequate to meet the state's
responsibilities under the CAA. We did not receive any comments
regarding our proposal.

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving portions of the May 6, 2013, infrastructure SIP
submission from Texas, which addresses the requirements of CAA sections
110(a)(1) and (2) as applicable to the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
Specifically, EPA is approving the following infrastructure elements,
or portions thereof: 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C), (D)(i)(II) (PSD portion),
D(ii), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L), and (M). EPA is not taking
action on: The portion pertaining to section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), which
concerns interstate pollution transport affecting attainment and
maintenance of the NAAQS and the portion pertaining to section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) pertaining to visibility protection.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation
land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated
that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the
rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by March 11, 2016. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposed of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2013-0002-N-23]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information
Collection Requests (ICRs) abstracted below are being forwarded to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICRs
describe the nature of the information collections and their expected
burdens. The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collections of information was
published on September 16, 2013 (78 FR 56995).

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before January 2, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Brogan, Office of Safety,
Planning and Evaluation Division, RRS-21, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., 3rd Floor, Mail Stop 25,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>), or Ms. Kimberly
Toone, Office of Information Technology, RAD-20, Federal Railroad
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., 3rd Floor, Mail Stop 35,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>). (These telephone
numbers are not toll-free.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
Public Law 104-13, Section 2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue two notices seeking public
comment on information collection activities before OMB may approve
paperwork packages. 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.12. On September 16, 2013, FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on these ICRs for which the agency
is seeking OMB approval. 78 FR 56995. FRA received no comments in
response to this notice pertaining to the two renewal collections of
information referenced below.
    Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C.
3507(b); 5 CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires OMB to approve or
disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30 day
notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)-(c); 5 CFR 1320.12(d); see also
60 FR 44978, 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the 30 day notice
informs the regulated community to file relevant comments and affords
the agency adequate time to digest public comments before it renders a
decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to OMB within 30 days of publication
of this Notice to best ensure having their full effect. 5 CFR
1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
    The summary below describes the nature of the information
collection requests (ICRs) and the expected burden being submitted for
clearance by OMB as required by the PRA.
    Title: Railroad Communications.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0524.
    Type of Request: Extension with change of a previously approved
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Abstract: The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) amended its
radio standards and procedures to promote compliance by making the
regulations more flexible; to require wireless communications devices,
including radios, for specified classifications of railroad operations
and roadway workers; and to re-title this part to reflect its coverage
of other means of wireless communications such as cellular telephones,
data radio

terminals, and other forms of wireless communications to convey
emergency and need-to-know information. The new rule establishes safe,
uniform procedures covering the use of radio and other wireless
communications within the railroad industry.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 337,717 hours.
    Title: Safety Integration Plans.
    Type of Request: Extension without change of a previously approved
collection.
    Abstract: The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Surface
Transportation Board (STB), working in conjunction with each other,
have issued joint final rules establishing procedures for the
development and implementation of safety integration plans (``SIPs'' or
``plans'') by a Class I railroad proposing to engage in certain
specified merger, consolidation, or acquisition of control transactions
with another Class I railroad, or a Class II railroad with which it
proposes to amalgamate operations. The scope of the transactions
covered under the two rules is the same. FRA uses the information
collected, notably the required SIPs, to maintain and promote a safe
rail environment by ensuring that affected railroads (Class Is and some
Class IIs) address critical safety issues unique to the amalgamation of
large, complex railroad operations.
    Form Number(s): N/A.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 528 hours.
    Addressee: Send comments regarding this information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 Seventeenth Street NW., Washington, DC 20503,
Attention: FRA Desk Officer. Comments may also be sent via email to OMB
at the following address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Comments are invited on the following: Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department, including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of
the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
    A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB
receives it within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.

Statement of Principles on Industrial Hemp

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA; Drug Enforcement Administration,
DOJ; Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in consultation with the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, has developed a Statement of Principles on Industrial
Hemp to inform the public how Federal law applies to activities
associated with industrial hemp that is grown and cultivated in
accordance with Section 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014. The
purpose of this notice is to set forth the statement in its entirety.

DATES: This Statement of Principles is applicable August 12, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Poe, Telephone Number: (202)
720-3257.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Statement of Principles

    With publication of this notice, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) issues, with the concurrence of the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
the following Statement of Principles regarding the applicability of
Federal laws to activities associated with growing and cultivating
industrial hemp:
    Section 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 legalized the growing
and cultivating of industrial hemp for research purposes in States
where such growth and cultivation is legal under State law,
notwithstanding existing Federal statutes that would otherwise
criminalize such conduct. The statutorily sanctioned conduct, however,
was limited to growth and cultivation by an institution of higher
education or State department of agriculture for purposes of
agricultural or other academic research or under the auspices of a
State agricultural pilot program for the growth, cultivation, or
marketing of industrial hemp.
    Section 7606 authorized State departments of agriculture to
promulgate regulations to carry out these pilot programs but did not
provide a specific delegation to the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) or any other agency to implement the program. As well, the
statute left open many questions regarding the continuing application
of Federal drug control statutes to the growth, cultivation,
manufacture, and distribution of industrial hemp products, as well as
the extent to which growth by private parties and sale of industrial
hemp products are permissible. Section 7606 did not remove industrial
hemp from the controlled substances list. Therefore, Federal law
continues to restrict hemp-related activities, to the extent that those
activities have not been legalized under section 7606.
    USDA, having consulted with and received concurrence from the U.S.
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), therefore, is issuing this statement of
principles to inform the public regarding how Federal law applies to
activities involving industrial hemp so that individuals, institutions,
and States that wish to participate in industrial hemp agricultural
pilot programs can do so in accordance with Federal law.
     The growth and cultivation of industrial hemp may only
take place in accordance with an agricultural pilot program to study
the growth, cultivation, or marketing of industrial hemp established by
a State department of agriculture or State agency responsible for
agriculture in a State where the production of industrial hemp is
otherwise legal under State law.
     The State agricultural pilot program must provide for
State registration and certification of sites used for growing or
cultivating industrial hemp. Although registration and certification is
not further defined, it is recommended that such registration should
include the name of the authorized manufacturer, the period of
licensure or other time period during which such person is authorized
by the State to manufacture industrial hemp, and the location,
including Global Positioning System coordinates, where such person is
authorized to manufacture industrial hemp.
     Only State departments of agriculture, and persons
licensed, registered, or otherwise authorized by them to conduct
research under an agricultural pilot program in accordance with section
7606, and institutions of higher education (as defined in section 101
of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001)), or persons
employed by or under a production contract or lease with them to
conduct such research, may grow or cultivate industrial hemp as part of
the agricultural pilot program.
     The term ``industrial hemp'' includes the plant Cannabis
sativa L. and any part or derivative of such plant, including seeds of
such plant, whether growing or not, that is used exclusively for
industrial purposes (fiber and seed) with a tetrahydrocannabinols
concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. The
term ``tetrahydrocannabinols'' includes all isomers, acids, salts, and
salts of isomers of tetrahydrocannabinols.
     For purposes of marketing research by institutions of
higher education or State departments of agriculture (including
distribution of marketing materials), but not for the purpose of
general commercial activity, industrial hemp products may be sold in a
State with an agricultural pilot program or among States with
agricultural pilot programs but may not be sold in States where such
sale is prohibited. Industrial hemp plants and seeds may not be
transported across State lines.
     Section 7606 specifically authorized certain entities to
``grow or cultivate'' industrial hemp but did not eliminate the
requirement under the Controlled Substances Import and

Export Act that the importation of viable cannabis seeds must be
carried out by persons registered with the DEA to do so. In addition,
any USDA phytosanitary requirements that normally would apply to the
importation of plant material will apply to the importation of
industrial hemp seed.
     Section 7606 did not amend the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act. For example, section 7606 did not alter the approval
process for new drug applications, the requirements for the conduct of
clinical or nonclinical research, the oversight of marketing claims, or
any other authorities of the FDA as they are set forth in that Act.
     The Federal Government does not construe section 7606 to
alter the requirements of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) that
apply to the manufacture, distribution, and dispensing of drug products
containing controlled substances. Manufacturers, distributors,
dispensers of drug products derived from cannabis plants, as well as
those conducting research with such drug products, must continue to
adhere to the CSA requirements.
     Institutions of higher education and other participants
authorized to carry out agricultural pilot programs under section 7606
may be able to participate in USDA research or other programs to the
extent otherwise eligible for participation in those programs.

2. Regulatory Requirements

    This Statement of Principles does not establish any binding legal
requirements. It is, therefore, exempt from notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is
required, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does not require an initial or
final regulatory flexibility analysis. 5 U.S.C. 603(a), 604(a). USDA
has determined that this Statement of Principles does not impose any
new or revise any existing recordkeeping, reporting, or disclosure
requirements on covered entities or members of the public that would be
collections of information requiring OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0711]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Delaware River; Penn's Landing; Philadelphia, PA;
Fireworks Display

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on a
portion of the Delaware River in Philadelphia, PA. This action is
necessary to protect the surrounding public and vessels on these
navigable waters adjacent to Penn's Landing, Philadelphia, PA, during a
fireworks display on October 19, 2018. This regulation prohibits
persons and vessels from entering, transiting, or remaining within the
safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Delaware Bay
or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 11 p.m. through 11:59 p.m. on
October 19, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On June 18, 2018, a wedding party notified the Coast Guard that it
will be conducting a fireworks display from 11:15 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. on
October 19, 2018. The fireworks are to be launched from a barge in the
Delaware River adjacent to Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, PA. In
response, on September 28, 2018, the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone; Delaware River; Penn's
Landing; Philadelphia, PA; Fireworks Display; 83 FR 49026. There we
stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to this fireworks display. During the comment
period that ended October 5, 2018, we received one comment.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed to mitigate the potential safety
hazards associated with a fireworks display in this location.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Delaware Bay (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the fireworks display on October 19,
2018, will be a safety concern for anyone within 500 feet of a
fireworks barge in the Delaware River adjacent to Penn's Landing in
Philadelphia, PA. The barge will be anchored in approximate position
39[deg]57'05.26'' N Latitude 075[deg]08'10.85'' W Longitude. This rule
is needed to protect persons, vessels and the public near the fireworks
barge during the fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received one comment on our NPRM published
September 28, 2018. The comment we received was unrelated to the
proposed regulation. There is one change in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM. The enforcement period was
changed from 11:15 p.m. through 11:45 p.m. to 11 p.m. through 11:59
p.m. on the same date. We made this change to account for movement of
the barge into and out of the anchor location.
    This rule establishes a safety zone from 11 p.m. through 11:59 p.m.
on October 19, 2018, for the navigable waters in the vicinity of Penn's
Landing, Philadelphia, PA, during a fireworks display from a barge. The
event is scheduled to take place at approximately 11:15 p.m. on October
19, 2018. The safety zone will extend 500 feet around the barge, which
will be anchored at approximate position 39[deg]57'05.26'' N Latitude
075[deg]08'10.85'' W Longitude. Persons or vessels will not be
permitted to enter, transit through, or remain within the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative.
    If authorization to enter, transit through, or remain within the
safety zone is granted by the COTP or a designated representative, all
persons and vessels receiving such authorization must comply with the
instructions of the COTP or a designated representative. The Coast
Guard will provide public notice of the safety zone by Broadcast Notice
to Mariners and by on-scene actual notice.

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,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
would be able to safely transit around this safety zone which will
impact a small designated area of the Delaware River for one hour
during the evening when vessel traffic is normally low. Moreover, the
Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to

Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the rule
would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule 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 Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

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 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, 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 a safety zone lasting one hour that
would prohibit entry within 500 feet of a fireworks barge. Normally
such actions are categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-
01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting
this determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

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