IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION Background 1( a) Title and Number of Information Collection This Information Collection Request (ICR) is entitled "Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for the Proposed Rule on Mercury Containing Equipment Reuse and Recycling", ICR Number 1597.05 1( b) Characterization of the Information Collection Section 3001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify which solid wastes are hazardous wastes and therefore must be managed as hazardous waste during treatment, storage, or disposal. Under this authority, EPA established four hazardous waste characteristics (toxicity, reactivity, ignitability, and corrosivity), and listed specific wastes that must be managed as hazardous wastes. Waste mercury containing equipment (MCE) are often hazardous because they exhibit the characteristic of toxicity by exceeding the regulatory level for mercury. As a result, currently most waste MCE are subject to strict controls under RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations.

After consideration of the issues, EPA added hazardous waste MCE to the existing universal waste regulations at 40 CFR Part 273. The existing universal waste regulations, published on May 11, 1995, provide streamlined procedures for certain widely generated wastes identified as universal wastes (60 FR 25492). The universal waste standards are designed to accomplish the following general goals:

° Encourage resource conservation while ensuring protection of human health and the environment;

° Improve implementation of the Subtitle C hazardous waste program through a simplified set of requirements that are easily understood by handlers of MCE waste; and ° Separate universal waste from the municipal waste stream by encouraging individuals and organizations to collect these wastes and to manage them in an appropriate hazardous waste management system.

The final universal waste MCE rule requires generators of this equipment to follow procedures for maintaining the condition of the MCE (e. g., proper packaging), storing MCE (e. g., accumulation time limits, labeling), notifying EPA as specified, and responding to releases. The universal waste standards establish management standards for two types of MCE generators: small quantity handlers (SQHUWs) and large quantity handlers (LQHUWs) of MCE wastes. SQHUWs are universal waste handlers who do not accumulate more than 5,000 kilograms total of universal waste at any one time. LQHUWs are universal waste handlers that accumulate 5,000 Page 2 kilograms or more total of universal waste at any time. Destination sites receiving waste MCE are subject to the RCRA hazardous waste regulations at 40 CFR Parts 264 270 and 124, as applicable.

This ICR is a comprehensive description of the information collection requirements for handlers of hazardous waste MCE under the universal waste requirements.

2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION 2( a) Need and Authority for the Collection The requirements covered in this ICR are necessary for EPA to obtain general information on universal waste MCE regulated entities and to facilitate enforcement of Part 273 regulations. The notification requirements are needed to assist the Agency in identifying and tracking large quantity handlers of universal waste MCE. EPA requires large quantity handlers to mark and track MCE shipments to help ensure that universal waste MCE are being accumulated responsibly. EPA requires tracking of universal waste MCE shipments to help ensure that universal waste MCE is being properly treated, recycled, or disposed.

2( b) Use and Users of the Data EPA will use the collected information to ensure that universal waste MCE are being managed in a protective manner. This information aids the Agency in tracking universal waste MCE shipments and identifying improper management practices. In addition, information kept in facility records will help handlers demonstrate, and on site inspectors ensure, that facilities are managing MCE properly. Information marked on MCE or MCE containers will assist handlers, and transporters in ensuring proper management during storage and shipment.

3. RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED 3( a) Respondents and SIC Codes The following is a list of Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes associated with entities handling MCE likely to be affected by the information collection requirements covered under this ICR:

S. Bureau of the Census (1997).

3( b) Information Requested This section describes information collection requirements applicable to universal waste MCE regulated entities that would be affected by the proposed rule.

Notification (i) Data items:

The proposed rule requires large quantity handlers to send written notification of universal waste MCE management to the Regional Administrator, and receive an EPA identification number. Specifically, large quantity handlers must send written notification before meeting or exceeding the 5,000 kilogram accumulation limit of universal waste. Large quantity handlers who have already notified EPA of their hazardous waste management activities under RCRA or Page 4 pesticide management under FIFRA and have received an EPA Identification number are not required to renotify.

The notification must include the following data items:

° The universal waste handler's name and mailing address;

° The name and business telephone number of the person at the universal waste handler's site who should be contacted regarding universal waste management activities;

° The address or physical location of the universal waste management activities;

° A list of all types of universal waste managed by the handler; and  A statement indicating that the handler is accumulating 5,000 kilograms or more of universal waste at one time and a description of the types of waste accumulated.

(ii) Respondent activities:

 Large quantity handlers must prepare and submit written notification of universal waste MCE management to the Regional Administrator. Marking (i) Data items:

Small and large quantity handlers are required to mark or label their universal waste MCE materials in accordance with the following procedures:

 Mercury containing equipment or containers must be marked or labeled with the words: "Universal Waste Mercury Containing Equipment" or "Waste MercuryContaining Equipment" or "Used Mercury Containing Equipment".

(ii) Respondent Activities:

 Handlers must mark or label the universal waste MCE or the containers holding universal waste MCE. Page 5 Accumulation Time Limits (i) Data items:

Small quantity handlers and large quantity handlers are required to demonstrate the length of time that the MCE has been accumulated from the date it was received or became a waste. The demonstration may be made by using any of the following methods:

 Placing the universal waste MCE in a container and marking or labeling the container with the earliest date that any MCE in the container became a waste or was received.

 Marking or labeling each individual item of universal waste MCE with the date it became a waste or was received.

 Maintaining an inventory system on site that identifies the date the MCE being accumulated became wastes or were received.

 Maintaining an inventory system on site that identifies the earliest date any MCE in a group of MCE items or a group of containers of MCE became a waste or was received.

 Placing the MCE in a specific accumulation area and identifying the earliest date that any MCE in the area became a waste or was received.

 Any other method which clearly demonstrates the length of time that the MCE has been accumulated from the date it became a waste or was received.

(ii) Respondent Activities:

 Handlers must demonstrate the length of time that MCE has been accumulated since it became a waste or was received.

Tracking MCE Shipments (i) Data items:

The proposed rule requires large quantity handlers to keep records of each incoming or outgoing universal waste MCE shipment. Records of shipments must be kept for a period of three years from the day of receipt or the day the shipment left the facility.

The data items required are:

 Records of incoming and outgoing shipments must contain the following information: Page 6  Name and address of the originating or destination facility;

 Quantity of universal waste MCE received or sent; and  Date the shipment was sent or received.

(ii) Respondent activities:

 Large quantity handlers must:

 Maintain records of all shipments for a period of three years.

Exports (i) Data Items:

Under the proposed rule, shipments of MCE to a foreign destination must comply with the same requirements as shipments of hazardous waste (i. e., 40 CFR 262, Subparts E or H). These reporting and recordkeeping activities are not evaluated in this ICR because they already are addressed in the "Requirements for Generators, Transporters, and Waste Management Facilities under the RCRA Hazardous Waste Manifest System" (ICR No. 801) and in the "Exports from and Imports to the U. S. under the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Decision" (ICR No. 1647).

4. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED  AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT The following section discusses how EPA and implementing agencies would collect and manage the information received from respondents. This section also includes a discussion of how EPA would take steps to ensure that the information collections are not overly burdensome on small entities.

4( a) Agency Activities Most of the information that is required of universal waste MCE handlers would be kept on site and not be submitted to EPA formally. The Agency will conduct the following activities in response to information submittals:

 Review and file notification of universal waste MCE management provided by large quantity handlers;

 Send an EPA identification number to large quantity handlers; and Page 7  Enter notification information into a database.

4( b) Collection Methodology and Management In collecting and analyzing the information associated with this ICR, EPA will use electronic equipment such as personal computers and applicable database software. EPA will ensure the accuracy and completeness of the collected information by reviewing each submittal. EPA then would enter the information into a database and aggregate data to monitor universal waste MCE program.

4( c) Small Entity Flexibility By adding hazardous waste MCE intended for recycling into the federal list of universal waste, the proposed rule will provide regulatory relief from the full Subtitle C management requirement for all entities involved in MCE management and willing to recycle MCE. These entities include generators, transporters, and MCE recycling facilities. Small quantity generators of hazardous waste MCE will become small quantity handlers of universal waste MCE. The regulatory requirements associated with small quantity handlers of universal waste are considerably simpler than those applicable to small quantity generators of hazardous waste.

Further, EPA relieved small quantity handlers from several administrative requirements applicable to large quantity handlers. For example, the proposed rule does not require small quantity handlers to submit notifications of universal waste MCE management or to obtain an EPA identification number. EPA also does not require small quantity handlers to keep records of their universal waste MCE shipments. EPA believes these exemptions would encourage small businesses to safely manage universal waste MCE in compliance with the proposed rule. In addition, EPA allows conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) to manage their hazardous waste MCE either under the specific provisions of the proposed rule or under the existing CESQG exemption in 40 CFR 261.5.

Finally, the universal waste MCE rule is a regulatory relief initiative that should reduce regulatory burden and costs for all universal waste handlers, but should particularly benefit small entities.

4( d) Collection Schedule EPA does not collect any information on a regular schedule, except for annual notification schedule for exports of MCE to non OECD countries and annual report of exports of MCE to OECD countries.

5. NON DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA 5( a) Non duplication Page 8 The streamlined MCE requirements minimize the paperwork activities respondents must undertake in relation to the full hazardous waste program, and enable them to follow standard industry practices and other Federal agency requirements, where appropriate, to satisfy the universal waste MCE requirements. The information required by the proposed regulations covered by this ICR is not available from any source but the respondents.

5( b) Effects of Less Frequent Collection EPA will consider carefully the burden imposed upon the regulated community by the proposed regulations, and to the extent possible, will attempt to minimize the burden imposed. EPA believes strongly that if the minimum requirements specified under the proposed regulations are not met, neither the facilities nor EPA will be able to ensure that waste MCE are being managed in a manner protective of human health and the environment.

5( c) General Guidelines This ICR adheres to the guidelines stated in the 1995 Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB's implementing regulations, OMB's Information Collection Review Handbook, and other applicable OMB guidance.

5( d) Confidentiality Section 3007( b) of RCRA and 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B, which define EPA's general policy on public disclosure of information, contain provisions for confidentiality. The information provided by the entities regulated under the proposed regulations will be treated in accordance with these provisions, as appropriate.

5( e) Sensitive Questions No questions of a sensitive nature are included in any of the information collection requirements. Page 9 6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF COLLECTION 6( a) Number of Respondents The number of facilities that would be covered by the proposed rule was obtained from EPA's "Draft Economic Analysis of Including Mercury Containing Devices (MCD) in the Universal Waste System, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" dated September 5, 2001. The report estimated that there would be 1, 864 small quantity handlers, 13 large quantity handlers, 18 TSDFs, and 600 transporters. For the purpose of evaluating the annual costs associated with new facilities, the Agency also estimates that one percent of the facilities are new facilities.

6( b) Estimating Respondent Burden This ICR presents a comprehensive characterization of the reporting and recordkeeping burden and costs to universal waste MCE handlers, TSDFs and transporters under the proposed rule. Except for manifest requirements, recyclers of universal waste (destination facilities/ TSDFs) must comply with the same requirements that apply to recyclers of hazardous wastes.

Reading the Regulations EPA expects that regulated universal waste MCE entities will read the applicable universal waste MCE regulations as a one time activity in order to familiarize themselves with the new rule.

Notification All large quantity handlers would be required to send EPA a written notification of universal waste MCE management under the proposed rule. EPA expects that one percent of the generators are new facilities.

Marking EPA expects that all handlers will mark or label universal waste MCE or containers holding universal waste MCE. Handlers are expected to mark containers rather than individual MCE, thus minimizing the recordkeeping burden.

Accumulation Time Limits EPA expects that some MCE entities will keep records on their storage time limits according to procedures specified on the regulations. EPA believes the remaining entities will use standard business practices. Page 10 Tracking MCE Shipments Table 1 provides background data on the number of universal waste MCE entities and shipments. Table 2 shows the one time cost for rule familiarization and notification of hazardous waste activity and the average annual burden and costs for handlers, TSDFs, and transporters to comply with each MCE requirement. The table includes estimated labor costs and operation and maintenance (O& M) costs. Table 3 summarizes, by respondent type, the total annual burden and costs. Table 3 also includes capital costs for respondents (i. e., file cabinets).

S. Department of Labor Statistics (BLS) "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 1997." Wages were calculated using the BLS rate with the labor multiplier. The labor rates are based on a full time employee with a 40 hour work week. Total one time costs are estimated to be $543,304 from Table 2 and the annual respondent labor costs summarized in t Table 3 are estimated to be $280,615.

Operation and Maintenance O& M costs are those costs associated with a paperwork requirement incurred continually over the life of the ICR. They are defined by the 1995 Paperwork Reduction Act as "the recurring dollar amount of cost associated with O& M or purchasing services." For this ICR, O& M costs cover postage and for reports sent to other parties ($ 3 per package) and photocopying ($ 0.10 per page). In addition, O& M costs include contractor costs (i. e., costs charged by firms acting as agents for their customers). Total annual respondent O& M costs, summarized in the 5 th column of Table 3, are estimated to be $113.

Capital In the following paragraphs, EPA estimates capital costs associated with the information requirements covered by this ICR. Capital costs usually include any produced physical good needed to provide or keep records of the needed information, such as machinery, computers, and other equipment. For this ICR, the only required capital is file cabinets for maintaining reports. The file cabinet costs are based on the assumption that large quantity handlers would need to buy approximately one cabinet every five years and TSDFs and transporters would not need any additional file storage capacity. EPA estimates that the purchasing price for one file cabinet is $550, including delivery. Total annual respondent capital costs, summarized in the 4 th column of Table 3, are estimated to be $1,430.

6( d) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost Table 4 estimates EPA's annual burden hours and costs associated with the requirements covered in this ICR. Since Regional Offices generally would process all the information collected under the requirements covered in this ICR, Regional labor costs are used in the calculation of Federal Agency costs. EPA estimates an average Regional labor cost of $60 per hour for legal staff, $43 per hour for managerial staff, $30 per hour for technical staff, and $18 per hour for clerical staff. To derive these estimates, EPA used the U. S. Office of Personnel Management 2000 Federal Pay Schedule salary figures to estimate the annual compensation of these staff. EPA estimates an annual Agency burden of 29.2hours, at an annual cost of $832. For the purposes of this ICR, EPA assigned Regional staff the following government service levels: Page 15  Legal staff GS 15, Step 1 ($ 77,614 per year, or $60 per hour)

 Managerial staff GS 13, Step 1 ($ 55,837 per year, or $43 per hour)

 Technical staff GS 11, Step 1 ($ 39,178 per year, or $30 per hour)

 Clerical staff GS 06, Step 1 ($ 23,820 per year, or $18 per hour)

To derive hourly estimates, EPA divided annual compensation estimates by 2, 080, the number of hours in a Federal work year. EPA then multiplied the rates by the standard government overhead factor of 1.6.

6( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs The bottom line burden to respondents over the three year period covered by this ICR is estimated at 15,694 hours with a cost of approximately $924,012. The bottom line burden for the Agency is 87.6 hours, with a cost of $2,496. EPA expects, however, that the regulatory relief resulting from the proposed regulations will lead to a net decrease in the overall respondent burden (see Section 6( f) below).

[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1611]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The flood hazard
determination information may be changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0581]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Lake Michigan, Calumet Harbor, Chicago, IL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing two temporary safety zones on
Lake Michigan in Calumet Harbor, in Chicago, IL. This action is
necessary and intended to ensure safety of life on the navigable waters
of the United States immediately prior to, during, and after a lakebed
rock removal operation involving explosives. Entry of vessels or
persons into these zones is prohibited unless specifically authorized
by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan.

DATES: This rule is effective from midnight on August 1, 2017 through
midnight on December 16, 2017.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being

Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
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 public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. The
Coast Guard did not receive the final details for this event until
there was insufficient time remaining before the event to publish a
NPRM. Delaying the effective date of this rule to wait for a comment
period to run would be impracticable because it would inhibit the Coast
Guard's ability to protect the public and vessels from the hazards
associated with a lakebed rock removal operation from August 1, 2017
through December 15, 2017.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making this temporary rule
effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
For the same reasons discussed in the preceding paragraph, waiting for
a 30 day notice period to run would be impracticable.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 160.5;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    From August 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017, a rock removal
operation involving explosives will take place on Lake Michigan in
Calumet Harbor, in Chicago, IL. The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan
has determined that the lakebed rock removal operation will pose a
significant risk to public safety and property. Such hazards include
detonation of explosive material and a change in the depth of water for
a small period of time.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    With the aforementioned hazards in mind, the Captain of the Port
Lake Michigan has determined that two temporary safety zones are
necessary to ensure the safety of the public during the rock removal
operation on Lake Michigan in Calumet Harbor. Safety zone one will be
enforced from midnight on August 1, 2017 through midnight on December
16, 2017. Safety zone one will encompass all waters of Lake Michigan in
Chicago, IL, bounded by a line drawn from the Calumet Harbor Entrance
South Side Light at 41[deg]44.1348' N., 087[deg]30.3790' W. then
southwest to 41[deg]43.8568' N., 087[deg]30.6587' W. then southeast to
41[deg]43.5801' N., 087[deg]30.2830' W. then east to the Calumet Harbor
Breakwater South End Light at 41[deg]43.5619' N., 087[deg]29.6016' W.
(NAD 83). Safety zone two will be enforced intermittently from midnight
on August 1, 2017 through midnight on December 16, 2017. Safety zone
two will encompass all waters of Lake Michigan in Chicago, IL, within a
2000 foot radius from 41[deg]43.6665' N., 087[deg]30.3805' W. (NAD 83).
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zones is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan,
or a designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or a
designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

V. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to
reduce regulation and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for
every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be
identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be
prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process.'' This
rule has not been designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
    As this rule is not a significant regulatory action, this rule is
exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB's
Memorandum

titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the Executive Order
of January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The two safety zones created by this rule will
be relatively small and safety zone two will be enforced intermittently
only for short periods of time. Under certain conditions, moreover,
vessels may still transit through the safety zones when permitted by
the Captain of the Port.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this temporary rule on small entities. This
rule will affect the following entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit on a
portion of Lake Michigan in Calumet Harbor from midnight August 1, 2017
through midnight December 16, 2017.
    These safety zones will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons cited in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section. Additionally, before the
enforcement of the zones, we will issue local Broadcast Notice to
Mariners and Local Notice to Mariners so vessel owners and operators
can plan accordingly.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

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

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that
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 the establishment of two safety zones for a lakebed rock
removal operation involving explosives on Lake Michigan in Calumet
Harbor, in Chicago, IL. It is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. A Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) supporting
this determination is available in the docket where indicated in the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. We seek any comments or information
that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact
from this rule.

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.
