    Under Section 351 of the Public Health Services Act (the PHS Act)
(42 U.S.C. 262), manufacturers of biological products must submit a
license application for FDA review and approval before marketing a
biological product in interstate commerce. Licenses may be issued only
upon showing that the establishment and the products for which a
license is desired meets standards prescribed in regulations designed
to ensure the continued safety, purity, and potency of such products.
All such licenses are issued, suspended, and revoked as prescribed by
regulations in part 601 (21 CFR Part 601).
    Section 130(a) of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization
Act (Public Law 105-115) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (the act) by adding a new provision (section 506B of the act (21
U.S.C. 356b)) requiring reports of postmarketing studies for approved
human drugs and licensed biological products. Section 506B of the act
provides FDA with additional authority to monitor the progress of
postmarketing studies that applicants have made a commitment to conduct
and requires the agency to make publicly available information that
pertains to the status of these studies. Under section 506B(a) of the
act, applicants that have committed to conduct a postmarketing study
for an approved human drug or licensed biological product must submit
to FDA a status report of the progress of the study or the reasons for
the failure of the applicant to conduct the study. This report must be
submitted within 1 year after the U.S. approval of the application and
then annually until the study is completed or terminated.
    A summary of additional collection of information requirements
follows.
    Section 601.2(a) requires a manufacturer of a biological product to
submit an application on forms prescribed for such purposes with
accompanying data and information, including certain labeling
information, to FDA for approval to market a product in interstate
commerce. The container and package labeling requirements are provided
under Sec. Sec.  610.60 through 610.65. The estimate for these
regulations is included in the estimate under Sec.  601.2(a) in table 1
of this document.
    Section 601.5(a) requires a manufacturer to submit to FDA notice of
its intention to discontinue manufacture of a product or all products.
Section 601.6(a) requires the manufacturer to notify selling agents and
distributors upon suspension of its license, and provide FDA of such
notification.
    Section 601.12 (a)(2) requires, generally, that the holder of an
approved BLA must assess the effects of a manufacturing change before
distributing a biological product made with the change. Section
601.12(a)(4) requires, generally, that the applicant

must promptly revise all promotional labeling and advertising to make
it consistent with any labeling changes implemented. Section
601.12(a)(5) requires the applicant to include a list of all changes
contained in the supplement or annual report; for supplements, this
list must be provided in the cover letter. The burden estimates for
Sec.  601.12(a)(2) are included in the estimates for supplements
(Sec. Sec.  601.12(b) and (c)) and annual reports (Sec.  601.12(d)).
The burden estimates for Sec.  601.12(a)(4) are included in the
estimates under 601.12(f)(4) in table 1 of this document.
    Sections 601.12(b)(1) and (b)(3), (c)(1) and (c)(3), and (c)(5),
and (d)(1) and (d)(3) require applicants to follow specific procedures
to submit information to FDA of any changes, in the product, production
process, quality controls, equipment, facilities, or responsible
personnel established in an approved license application. The
appropriate procedure depends on the potential for the change to have a
substantial, moderate, or minimal adverse effect on the identity,
strength, quality, purity, or potency of the products as they may
relate to the safety or effectiveness of the product. Under Sec.
601.12(b)(4), an applicant may ask FDA to expedite its review of a
supplement for public health reasons or if a delay in making the change
described in it would impose an extraordinary hardship of the
applicant. The burden estimate for Sec.  601.12(b) (4) is minimal and
included in the estimate under Sec.  601.12(b)(1) and (b)(3) in table 1
of this document.
    Section 601.12(e) requires applicants to submit a protocol, or
change to a protocol, as a supplement requiring FDA approval before
distributing the product. Section 601.12(f)(1), (f)(2), and (f)(3)
requires applicants to follow specific procedures to report certain
labeling changes to FDA. Section 601.12(f)(4) requires applicants to
report to FDA advertising and promotional labeling and any changes.
    Under section 601.14, the content of labeling required in Sec.
201.100(d)(3) must be in electronic format and in a form that FDA can
process, review, and archive. This requirement is in addition to the
provisions of Sec. Sec.  601.2(a) and 601.12(f). The burden estimate
for Sec.  601.14 is minimal and included in the estimate under
Sec. Sec.  601.2(a) (BLAs) and 601.12(f)(1), (f)(2), and (f)(3)
(labeling supplements and annual reports) in table 1 of this document.
    Section 601.45 requires applicants of biological products for
serious or life-threatening illnesses to submit to the agency for
consideration, during the pre-approval review period, copies of all
promotional materials, including promotional labeling as well as
advertisements.
    In addition to Sec. Sec.  601.2 and 601.12, there are other
regulations in 21 CFR parts 640, 660, and 680 that relate to
information to be submitted in a license application or supplement for
certain blood or allergenic products as follows: Sec. Sec.  640.6,
640.17, 640.21(c), 640.22(c), 640.25(c), 640.56(c), 640.64(c),
640.74(a), and (b)(2), 660.51(a)(4), 680.1(b)(2)(iii), and 680.1(d). In
table 1 of this document, the burden associated with the information
collection requirements in these regulations is included in the burden
estimate for Sec. Sec.  601.2 and/or 601.12. A regulation may be listed
under more than one subsection of Sec.  601.12 due to the type of
category under which a change to an approved application may be
submitted.
    There are also additional container and/or package labeling
requirements for certain licensed biological products including: Sec.
640.70(a) for Source Plasma; Sec.  640.74(b)(3) and (4) for Source
Plasma Liquid; Sec.  640.84(a) and (c) for Albumin; Sec.  640.94(a) for
Plasma Protein Fraction; Sec.  660.2(c) for Antibody to Hepatitis B
Surface Antigen; Sec.  660.28(a), (b), and (c) for Blood Grouping
Reagent; Sec.  660.35(a), (c through g), and (i through m) for Reagent
Red Blood Cells; Sec.  660.45 for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen; and
Sec.  660.55(a) and (b) for Anti-Human Globulin. The burden associated
with the additional labeling requirements for submission of a license
application for these certain biological products is minimal because
the majority of the burden is associated with the requirements under
Sec. Sec.  610.60 through 610.65 or Sec.  809.10. Therefore, the burden
estimates for these regulations are included in the estimate under
Sec. Sec.  610.60 through 610.65 in table 1 of this document. The
burden estimates associated with Sec.  809.10 are approved under OMB
Control No. 0910-0485.
    Section 601.25(b) requests interested persons to submit, for review
and evaluation by an advisory review panel, published and unpublished
data and information pertinent to a designated category of biological
products that have been licensed prior to July 1, 1972. Section
601.26(f) requires that licensees submit to FDA a written statement
intended to show that studies adequate and appropriate to resolve the
questions raised about a biological product have been undertaken for a
product if designated as requiring further study under the
reclassification procedures. Under Sec.  601.25(b), FDA estimates no
PRA burden for this regulation, and therefore this regulation is not
included in table 1 of this document. Under section 601.26(f), FDA
estimates no burden for this regulation since there are no products
designated to require further study and none are predicted in the
future. However, FDA is using an estimate of 1 for calculation
purposes. Based on the possible reclassification of a product, the
labeling for the product may need to be revised, or a manufacturer, on
its own initiative, may deem it necessary for further study. As a
result, any changes to product labeling would be reported under the
appropriate subsection of Sec.  601.12.
    Section 601.27(a) requires that applications for new biological
products contain data that are adequate to assess the safety and
effectiveness of the biological product for the claimed indications in
pediatric subpopulations, and to support dosing and administration
information. Section 601.27(b) provides that an applicant may request a
deferred submission of some or all assessments of safety and
effectiveness required under Sec.  601.27(a) until after licensing the
product for use in adults. Section 601.27(c) provides that an applicant
may request a full or partial waiver of the requirements under Sec.
601.27(a) with adequate justification. The burden estimates for Sec.
601.27(a) are included in the burden estimate under Sec.  601.2(a) in
table 1 of this document since these regulations deal with information
to be provided in an application.
    Section 601.28 requires sponsors of licensed biological products to
submit the information in Sec.  601.28(a), (b), and (c) to the Center
for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) or Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (CDER) each year, within 60 days of the
anniversary date of approval of the license. Section 601.28(a) requires
sponsors to submit to FDA a brief summary stating whether labeling
supplements for pediatric use have been submitted and whether new
studies in the pediatric population to support appropriate labeling for
the pediatric population have been initiated. Section 601.28(b)
requires sponsors to submit to FDA an analysis of available safety and
efficacy data in the pediatric population and changes proposed in the
labeling based on this information. Section 601.28(c) requires sponsors
to submit to FDA a statement on the current status of any postmarketing
studies in the pediatric population performed by, on or behalf of, the
applicant. If the postmarketing studies were required or agreed to, the
status of these studies is to be reported under Sec.  601.70 rather
then under this section.

    Sections 601.33 through 601.35 clarify the information to be
submitted in an application to FDA to evaluate the safety and
effectiveness of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals. The burden estimates for
Sec. Sec.  601.33 through 601.35 are included in the burden estimate
under Sec.  601.2(a) in table 1 of this document since these
regulations deal with information to be provided in an application.
    Section 601.70 (b) requires each applicant of a licensed biological
product to submit annually a report to FDA on the status of
postmarketing studies for each approved product application. Each
annual postmarketing status report must be accompanied by a completed
transmittal Form FDA 2252 (Form FDA 2252 approved under OMB No. 0910-
0001). Under Sec.  601.70(d), two copies of the annual report shall be
submitted to FDA.
    Section 601.91 through 601.94 concerns biological products for
which human efficacy studies are not ethical or feasible. Section
601.91(b)(3) requires applicants to prepare and provide labeling with
relevant information to patient or potential patient for biological
products approved under the subpart when human efficacy studies are not
ethical or feasible (or based on evidence of effectiveness from studies
in animals). Section 601.93 provides that biological products approved
under this subpart are subject to the postmarketing recordkeeping and
safety reporting applicable to all approved biological products.
Section 601.94 requires applicants under this subpart to submit to the
agency for consideration during preapproval review period copies of all
promotional materials including promotional labeling as well as
advertisements.
    Under Sec.  601.93, any potential postmarketing reports and/or
recordkeeping burdens would be included under the adverse experience
reporting (AER) requirements under 21 CFR part 600 (OMB Control No.
0910-0308). Therefore, any burdens associated with these requirements
would be reported under the AER information collection requirements
(OMB Control No. 0910-0308).
    Section 610.9(a) requires the applicant to present certain
information, in the form of a license application or supplement to the
application, for a modification of any particular test method or
manufacturing process or the conditions which it is conducted under the
biologics regulations. The burden estimate for Sec.  610.9(a) is
included in the estimate under Sec. Sec.  601.2(a) and 601.12(b) and
(c) in table 1 of this document.
    Section 610.11(g)(2) provides that a manufacturer of certain
biological products may request an exemption from the general safety
test (GST) requirements contained in this subpart. Under Sec.
610.11(g)(2), FDA requires only those manufacturers of biological
products requesting an exemption from the GST to submit additional
information as part of a license application or supplement to an
approved license application. Therefore, the burden estimate for Sec.
610.11(g)(2) is included in the estimate under Sec. Sec.  601.2(a) and
601.12(b) in table 1 of this document.
    Section 640.120 requires licensed establishments to submit a
request for an exception or alternative to any requirement in the
biologics regulations regarding blood, blood components, or blood
products. A request for an exception or alternative must be submitted
in accordance with Sec.  601.12; therefore the burden estimate for
Sec.  640.120 is included in the estimate under Sec.  601.12(b) in
table 1 of this document.
    Section 680.1(c) requires manufacturers to update annually their
license file with the list of source materials and the suppliers of the
materials. Section 680.1(b)(3)(iv) requires manufacturers to notify FDA
when certain diseases are detected in source materials.
    Sections 600.15(b) and 610.53(d) require the submission of a
request for an exemption or modification regarding the temperature
requirements during shipment and from dating periods, respectively, for
certain biological products. Section 606.110(b) requires the submission
of a request for approval to perform plasmapheresis of donors who do
not meet certain donor requirements for the collection of plasma
containing rare antibodies. Under Sec. Sec.  600.15(b), 610.53(d), and
606.110(b), a request for an exemption or modification to the
requirements would be submitted as a supplement. Therefore, the burden
hours for any submissions under Sec. Sec.  600.15(b), 610.53(d), and
606.110(b) are included in the estimates under Sec.  601.12(b) in table
1 of this document.
    In July 1997, FDA revised Form FDA 356h ``Application to Market a
New Drug, Biologic, or an Antibiotic Drug for Human Use'' to harmonize
application procedures between CBER and CDER. The application form
serves primarily as a checklist for firms to gather and submit certain
information to FDA. The checklist helps to ensure that the application
is complete and contains all the necessary information, so that delays
due to lack of information may be eliminated. The form provides key
information to FDA for efficient handling and distribution to the
appropriate staff for review. The estimated burden hours for
nonbiological product submissions to CDER using FDA Form 356h are
approved under OMB Control No. 0910-0001.
    Form FDA 2567 ``Transmittal of Labels and Circulars'' is used by
manufacturers of licensed biological products to submit labeling (e.g.,
circulars, package labels, container labels, etc.) and labeling changes
for FDA review and approval. The labeling information is submitted with
the form for license applications, supplements, or as part of an annual
report. Form FDA 2567 is also used for the transmission of
advertisements and promotional labeling. Form FDA 2567 serves as an
easy guide to assure that the manufacturer has provided the information
required for expeditious handling of their labeling by CBER. For
advertisements and promotional labeling, manufacturers of licensed
biological products may submit to CBER either Form FDA 2567 or 2253.
Form FDA 2253 was previously used only by drug manufacturers regulated
by CDER. In August of 1998, FDA revised and harmonized Form FDA 2253 so
the form may be used to transmit specimens of promotional labeling and
advertisements for biological products as well as for prescription
drugs and antibiotics. The revised, harmonized form updates the
information about the types of promotional materials and the codes that
are used to clarify the type of advertisement or labeling submitted;
clarifies the intended audience for the advertisements or promotional
labeling (e.g., consumers, professionals, news services); and helps
ensure that the submission is complete. Form FDA 2253 is approved under
OMB Control No. 0910-0001.
    Under table 1 of this document, the number of respondents is based
on the estimated annual number of manufacturers that submitted the
required information to FDA or the number of submissions FDA received
in fiscal year (FY) 2008. Based on information obtained from FDA's
database systems, there are an estimated 301 licensed biologics
manufacturers. The total annual responses are based on the estimated
number of submissions (i.e., license applications, labeling and other
supplements, protocols, advertising and promotional labeling,
notifications) for a particular product received annually by FDA. Based
on previous estimates, the rate of submissions is not expected to
change

significantly in the next few years. The hours per response are based
on information provided by industry and past FDA experience with the
various submissions or notifications. The hours per response include
the time estimated to prepare the various submissions or notifications
to FDA, and, as applicable, the time required to fill out the
appropriate form and collate the documentation. Additional information
regarding these estimates is provided below as necessary.
    Under Sec. Sec.  601.2 and 601.12, the estimated hours per response
are based on the average number of hours to submit the various
submissions. The estimated average number of hours is based on the
range of hours to complete a very basic application or supplement and a
complex application or supplement.
    Under section 601.6(a), the total annual responses are based on FDA
estimates that establishments may notify an average of 20 selling
agents and distributors of such suspension, and provide FDA of such
notification. The number of respondents is based on the estimated
annual number of suspensions of a biologic license.
    Under Sec. Sec.  601.12(f)(4) and 601.45, manufacturers of
biological products may use either Form FDA 2567 or Form FDA 2253 to
submit advertising and promotional labeling. Based on information
obtained from FDA's database system, there were an estimated 4,452
submissions of advertising and promotional labeling. FDA estimates that
approximately 15% of those submissions were received with Form FDA 2567
and 85% were received with Form 2253.
    Under Sec. Sec.  601.28 and 601.70(b), FDA estimates that it takes
an applicant approximately 24 hours (8 hours per study x 3 studies)
annually to gather, complete, and submit the appropriate information
for each postmarketing status report (approximately two to four studies
per report) and the accompanied transmittal Form FDA 2252. Included in
these 24 hours is the time necessary to prepare and submit two copies
of the annual progress report of postmarketing studies to FDA under
Sec.  601.70(d).
    Under Sec. Sec.  601.91 through 601.94, FDA expects to receive very
few applications for these products; however, for calculation purposes,
FDA is estimating the annual submission of one application. Under
Sec. Sec.  601.93(b)(3) and 601.94, FDA estimates 240 hours for a
manufacturer of a new biological product to develop patient labeling,
and to submit the appropriate information and promotional labeling to
FDA. The majority of the burden for developing the patient labeling is
included under the reporting requirements for Sec.  601.94, therefore
minimal burden is calculated for providing the guide to patients under
Sec.  601.91(b)(3).
    There were a total of 5,338 amendments to an unapproved application
or supplement and resubmissions submitted using Form FDA 356h.
    In the Federal Register of January 26, 2010 (75 FR 4081), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received on this
information collection request.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OECA-2012-0679; FRL-10002-41-OMS]

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic
Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units
(Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries:
Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur
Recovery Units (EPA ICR Number 1844.11, OMB Control Number 2060-0554),
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through January 31,
2020. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal
Register, on May 6, 2019 during a 60-day comment period. This notice
allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden
and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before December 26,
2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2012-0679, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our
preferred method), or by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by mail to:

1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460; and (2) OMB via email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Address comments to OMB Desk Officer
for EPA.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI), or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

(202) 564-0050; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents, which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available
in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov, or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone

information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking
Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units apply to
three types of affected units at major source petroleum refineries:
Fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU) for catalyst regeneration,
catalytic reforming units (CRU), and sulfur recovery units (SRU). The
rule also includes requirements for by-pass lines associated with the
three affected units. Owners and operators of affected units are
required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for
the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the
applicable standards in 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU. This includes
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic
reports and results, and maintaining records of the operation of an
affected facility. These reports are used by EPA to determine
compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum refineries that operate
catalytic cracking units, catalytic reforming units, and sulfur
recovery units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63).
    Estimated number of respondents: 142 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 17,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $10,800,000 (per year), includes $8,780,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a moderate decrease in burden in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The decrease in the burden and
cost estimates occurred because refineries are assumed to have
implemented the initial 2015 rule compliance activities since the
standard has been in effect for more than three years. The previous ICR
reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial
activities for subject facilities. This includes conducting performance
test(s) and establishing or revising recordkeeping systems. This ICR,
by in large, reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing
facilities. Activities for existing sources include 5-year performance
tests, continuous monitoring of pollutants, and the submission of
semiannual reports. This ICR also corrects the Agency burden from the
prior ICR to account for burden for review of submitted RATA for units
using CEMS.

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:	Impact of Additional Weight Due to Trailer Aerodynamic Devices

FROM:	Jessica Brakora, Engineer, Assessment and Standards Division

Office of Transportation and Air Quality

TO:	Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for
Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles - Phase 2 - Dockets
NHTSA-2014-0132 and EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0827

The agencies evaluated the impact of additional vehicle weight due to
the use of aerodynamic devices as calculated by EPA’s Greenhouse gas
Emissions Model (GEM).  This memo describes the analysis.

In GEM, users simulate aerodynamic improvements by supplying a delta CdA
value from aerodynamic testing.  GEM does not account for any additional
weight of aerodynamic devices when calculating CO2 emissions for
trailers.  While we based our performance standards on a set of
aerodynamic devices, in practice, manufacturers may choose from a
variety of devices or trailer design changes.  It would be in inaccurate
to specify a single weight for each aerodynamic bin and would be an
additional burden to require manufacturers to obtain and verify the
weight change for all aerodynamic improvements applied.  Additionally,
as shown in the analysis that follows, the impact of additional weight,
in terms of CO2 emissions of our simulated vehicle, is relatively small.
  The impact of potentially increased vehicle miles traveled (VMT) due
to trailers that weigh-out is not addressed in this memo, but can be
found in Section 5.1 of our Response to Comments document.

In this analysis, we modeled two vehicles: a Class 8, 6x4 high roof
sleeper cab pulling a 53-foot dry van (long dry van) and a Class 7, 4x2
high roof day cab pulling a 28-foot dry van (short dry van).  In each
case, we kept the trailer tire rolling resistance set to 5.1 kg/ton,
with zero weight reduction applied and no tire pressure system
installed.

In the first set of runs, we modeled the impact of aerodynamic
improvements.  These values are reflective of the results expected from
the version of GEM finalized under this rulemaking and used to generate
the GEM-based compliance equation for the trailer program.  The CO2
results in   REF _Ref457304144 \h  Figure 1  are shown for the bins we
expect most manufacturers will use to meet the standards for long (  REF
_Ref457304144 \h  Figure 1  (a)) and short (  REF _Ref457304144 \h
Figure 1  (b)) box vans.  The delta CdA value for Bin II is 0.1, Bin III
is 0.4, and Bin VI is 1.4 for the trailer program (see 40 CFR 1037.515).
 It can be seen that each bin of increased aerodynamic performance
results in a lower CO2 value, as expected.

 (a)						(b)

Figure   SEQ Figure \* ARABIC  1 :  Impact of Aerodynamic Improvements
for Common Bins Used in the Trailer Program for Long Box Vans (a) and
Short Box Vans (b)

Separately, we modeled the impact of additional weight, with no
aerodynamic improvements and similar weights as those of the aerodynamic
devices evaluated in our trailer test program.  To adjust this weight,
we changed the default values used within the GEM code, and therefore
could not use the GEM-based equation that most trailer manufacturers
would use for compliance.  Note that the weight of the 28-foot van skirt
is half the weight of the 53-foot van skirt.

Table   SEQ Table \* ARABIC  1 :  Additional Weight Applied to Simulated
Vehicles Based on Trailer Length

Trailer Length	Aerodynamic Bin	Example Technology	Assumed Weight (lb)

28-foot	Bin I / Baseline	None	0

	Bin II	Skirts	100

	Bin III	Skirts + Gap	400

53-foot	Bin I / Baseline	None	0

	Bin III	Skirts	200

	Bin VI	Skirts + Tail	500

The two plots in   REF _Ref457296798 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Figure 1  show
the impact of these additional weights on the CO2 results from each
simulated vehicle.  The additional weight does produce more CO2.
However, a doubling of the expected Bin VI weight to 1000 lb for long
dry vans would only increase CO2 emissions by 1.1% (  REF _Ref457296798
\h  Figure 1 (a)).  A similar doubling of the Bin III weight for short
dry vans would increase CO2 emissions by 1.4%.

(a)						(b)

Figure   SEQ Figure \* ARABIC  2 :  Impact of Additional Vehicle Weight
for Simulated Long Dry Vans (a) and Short Dry Vans (b)

The analysis was repeated to include both the aerodynamic improvements
and the associated additional weight specified in   REF _Ref457304780 \h
 Table 1 .    REF _Ref457306273 \h  Figure 3  and   REF _Ref457306760 \h
 Figure 4  compare the results that consider aerodynamic improvements
only to those considering both aerodynamic improvements and additional
weight.  In   REF _Ref457306273 \h  Figure 3 , the additional weight
creates the largest difference for long dry vans with Bin VI aerodynamic
performance, but the 0.5 kg/ton-mi increase in CO2 is less than 1%
different than the value without considering weight.  Similarly,   REF
_Ref457306760 \h  Figure 4  shows that the 0.9 kg/ton-mi increased CO2
for Bin III short box van aerodynamic improvements is also less than 1%
compared to the aerodynamics-only result.  We note that the addition of
aerodynamic technologies to both van lengths results in a net
improvement in CO2 emissions, even if we consider the added weight of
the technologies.

Figure   SEQ Figure \* ARABIC  3 :  Impact of Aerodynamic Improvements
and Additional Weight for Long Dry Vans

Figure   SEQ Figure \* ARABIC  4 :  Impact of Aerodynamic Improvements
and Additional Weight for Short Dry Vans

The agencies are not requiring the use of specific technologies on
trailers covered by our Phase 2 design standards.  As a result, many
aerodynamic technology options exist for manufacturers to apply to meet
the standards.  The agencies cannot predict all of the possible
technologies that will meet a given performance level and it would be
inaccurate to choose a single value to represent each aerodynamic bin.
In addition, the results presented above show a relatively small impact
of including the effect of additional weight on CO2 emissions.  As a
result, the agencies cannot justify including the additional weight of
potential aerodynamic improvements in GEM’s CO2 emissions calculations
for the Phase 2 trailer program.

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0502]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Navy Underwater Detonation (UNDET) Exercise, Apra
Outer Harbor, GU

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters within Apra Outer Harbor, Guam. The safety zone will
encompass a U.S. Navy underwater detonation (UNDET) exercise. The Coast
Guard believes this safety zone regulation is necessary to protect the
public and exercise participants within the affected area from possible
safety hazards associated with the exercise. This safety zone will
impact a small designated area of navigable waters in Apra Harbor for 8
hours or less. With the exception of exercise participants, entry of
vessels or persons into the zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port Guam.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. on July 13th,
2017.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    After the Coast Guard analyzed the scope and potential impacts
associated with a temporary safety zone being established, the Coast
Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable and
contrary to public interest. To delay implementation of the safety zone
past the exercise date of July 13th, 2017 to publish and seek public
comment is impracticable as it would unavoidably prevent the Coast
Guard from ensuring the safety of the public and exercise participants
from potential hazards associated with the exercise. It is for the same
reason good cause exists under the public interest exception to the
required public comment period. It is in the public's interest the
safety zone be established prior to notice and comment to ensure the
safety zone is in place for the UNDET exercise on July 13th, 2017.
    For the same reasons as noted above, we are issuing this rule, and
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for making it effective less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register. Due to the potential dangers associated with the
UNDET exercise, delaying the effective period of this safety zone
beyond July 13th, 2017 would be impracticable and contrary to public
interest. The temporary final rule and resulting restricted navigation
area established by this rulemaking relates to the establishment of the
safety zone itself. It does not address or regulate the UNDET exercise.
The U.S. Navy environmental impact statement and public involvement for
the UNDET activity is available at http://mitt-eis.com/.

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 Guam concurs with the U.S. Navy that
potential hazards associated with the UNDET exercise on July 13th, 2017
may be a safety concern for anyone within a 700-yard radius above and
below the surface in the area of the operation. This rule is needed to
protect the public, exercise participants and vessels in the navigable
waters within the safety zone during the exercise. Mariners and divers

approaching too close to such exercises could potentially be exposed to
hazardous conditions or place the exercise participants at risk.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. on
July 13th, 2017. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters within
700-yards above and below the surface of the water around the UNDET
exercise. The duration of the zone is intended to protect the public,
exercise participants and vessels in navigable waters during the
exercise. No vessel or person, with the exception of exercise
participants, will be permitted to enter the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative.

V. 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

    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 NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM 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
and duration of the safety zone. Vessel traffic will be able to safely
transit around this safety zone which will impact a small designated
area of waters in the outer harbor for 8 hours or less. Moreover, the
Coast Guard will issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine
channel 16 about the zone. Further, the rule allows vessels and persons
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 certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 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 E.O 13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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 the
establishment of a safety zone 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 up to eight hours
that will prohibit entry within 700-yards above and below the surface
of the UNDET exercise. 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 under
ADDRESSES. 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.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine Safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and record-
keeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends
33 CFR part 165 as follows:

PART 165--REGULATED NAVIGATION AREAS AND LIMITED ACCESS AREAS
