SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54617; File No. SR-NASD-2006-118]

Self-Regulatory Organizations: National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Extend the Date by Which Eligible Registrants Must
Complete Firm-Element Continuing Education To Qualify To Engage in a
Security Futures Business

October 17, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 16, 2006, the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (``NASD'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by NASD.
NASD filed the proposed rule change pursuant to paragraph (f)(6) of
Rule 19b-4 under the Act,\3\ which renders the proposal effective upon
filing with the Commission.\4\ The Commission is publishing this notice
to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \4\ NASD gave the Commission written notice of its intention to
file the proposed rule change on October 10, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    NASD proposes to amend NASD Rule 1022 (Categories of Principal
Registration) and NASD Rule 1032 (Categories of Registered
Representatives) to extend to December 31, 2009 the date by which
eligible registrants must complete a firm-element continuing education
to qualify to engage in a security futures business. Below is the text
of the proposed rule change. The text of the proposed rule change is
available at the Commission's Public Reference Room, at NASD, and at
http://www.nasd.com.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, NASD included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. NASD has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In 2003, NASD modified the following registration categories to
include the activities of engaging in and supervising securities
futures: (1) Registered Options and Security Futures Principal (the
Series 4); (2) Limited Principal--General Securities Sales Supervisor
(Series 9/10); (3) General Securities Representative (Series 7), and
(4) Limited Representative--Options and Security Futures Series (Series
42). NASD also required that persons currently registered or becoming
registered in these categories complete a firm-element continuing
education requirement addressing security futures before they conducted
any security futures business. NASD instituted this continuing
education requirement to ensure that registered personnel, who may not
be familiar with risks, trading characteristics, terms and nomenclature
of these products, or the fact that they are subject to the joint
jurisdiction of the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission,
receive the necessary training.
    NASD initially considered replacing the firm-element continuing
education requirement with revised qualification examinations for these
categories that addressed security futures. However, there are no
revision plans at present. Accordingly, NASD intends to continue to
require eligible registrants to complete the mandated continuing
education requirement before engaging in any security futures business.
Thus, NASD proposes to amend NASD Rule 1022 (Categories of Principal
Registration) and NASD Rule 1032 (Categories of Representative
Registration) to change the date by which eligible registrants must
complete the firm-element continuing education requirement to engage in
a security futures business from December 31, 2006 to December 31,
2009.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASD believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\5\ which requires, among
other things, that NASD rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The proposed rule change is necessary to continue to
allow eligible registrants to complete a firm-element continuing
education that will qualify them to engage in a security futures
business.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NASD does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
    (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest;
    (ii) Impose any significant burden on competition; and
    (iii) Become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule
19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Electronic Comments

(2) Notify the Administrator 1 month before stopping use of the
system.
    (3) The monitor shall be installed, evaluated, and operated in
accordance with Sec.  60.13 of subpart A of this part.
    (4) The initial performance evaluation shall be completed no later
than 180 days after the date of initial startup of the affected
facility, as specified under Sec.  60.8 of subpart A of this part or
within 180 days of notification to the Administrator of use of CEMS if
the owner or operator was previously determining compliance by Method
5, 5B, or 17 of appendix A of this part performance tests, whichever is
later.
    (5) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall conduct an
initial performance test for PM emissions as required under Sec.  60.8
of subpart A of this part. Compliance with the PM emission limit shall
be determined by using the CEMS specified in paragraph (d) of this
section to measure PM and calculating a 24-hour block arithmetic
average emission concentration using EPA Reference Method 19 of
appendix A of this part, section 4.1.
    (6) Compliance with the PM emission limit shall be determined based
on the 24-hour daily (block) average of the hourly arithmetic average
emission concentrations using CEMS outlet data.

    (7) At a minimum, valid CEMS hourly averages shall be obtained as
specified in paragraph (d)(7)(i) of this section for 75 percent of the
total operating hours per 30-day rolling average.
    (i) At least two data points per hour shall be used to calculate
each 1-hour arithmetic average.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (8) The 1-hour arithmetic averages required under paragraph (d)(7)
of this section shall be expressed in ng/J or lb/MMBtu heat input and
shall be used to calculate the boiler operating day daily arithmetic
average emission concentrations. The 1-hour arithmetic averages shall
be calculated using the data points required under Sec.  60.13(e)(2) of
subpart A of this part.
    (9) All valid CEMS data shall be used in calculating average
emission concentrations even if the minimum CEMS data requirements of
paragraph (d)(7) of this section are not met.
    (10) The CEMS shall be operated according to Performance
Specification 11 in appendix B of this part.
    (11) During the correlation testing runs of the CEMS required by
Performance Specification 11 in appendix B of this part, PM and
O2 (or CO2) data shall be collected concurrently
(or within a 30-to 60-minute period) by both the continuous emission

minimum of 75 percent of total operating hours on a 30-day rolling
average.
    (d) The owner or operator of an affected facility seeking to
demonstrate compliance under Sec.  60.43c(e)(4) shall follow the
applicable procedures under Sec.  60.48c(f). For residual oil-fired
affected facilities, fuel supplier certifications are only allowed for
facilities with heat input capacities between 2.9 and 8.7 MW (10 to 30
MMBtu/hr).

Sec.  60.46c  Emission monitoring for sulfur dioxide

    (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section,
the owner or operator of an affected facility subject to the
SO2 emission limits under Sec.  60.42c shall install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring SO2
concentrations and either O2 or CO2
concentrations at the outlet of the SO2 control device (or
the outlet of the steam generating unit if no SO2 control
device is used), and shall record the output of the system. The owner
or operator of an affected facility subject to the percent reduction
requirements under Sec.  60.42c shall measure SO2
concentrations and either O2 or CO2
concentrations at both the inlet and outlet of the SO2
control device.
    (b) The 1-hour average SO2 emission rates measured by a
CEMS shall be expressed in ng/J or lb/MMBtu heat input and shall be
used to calculate the average emission rates under Sec.  60.42c. Each
1-hour average SO2 emission rate must be based on at least
30 minutes of operation and include at least 2 data points representing
two 15-minute periods. Hourly SO2 emission rates are not
calculated if the affected facility is operated less than 30 minutes in
a 1-hour period and are not counted toward determination of a steam
generating unit operating day.
    (c) The procedures under Sec.  60.13 shall be followed for
installation, evaluation, and operation of the CEMS.
    (1) All CEMS shall be operated in accordance with the applicable
procedures under Performance Specifications 1, 2, and 3 of appendix B
of this part.
    (2) Quarterly accuracy determinations and daily calibration drift
tests shall be performed in accordance with Procedure 1 of appendix F
of this part.
    (3) For affected facilities subject to the percent reduction
requirements under Sec.  60.42c, the span value of the SO2
CEMS at the inlet to the SO2 control device shall be 125
percent of the maximum estimated hourly potential SO2
emission rate of the fuel combusted, and the span value of the
SO2 CEMS at the outlet from the SO2 control
device shall be 50 percent of the maximum estimated hourly potential
SO2 emission rate of the fuel combusted.
    (4) For affected facilities that are not subject to the percent
reduction requirements of Sec.  60.42c, the span value of the
SO2 CEMS at the outlet from the SO2 control
device (or outlet of the steam generating unit if no SO2
control device is used) shall be 125 percent of the maximum estimated
hourly potential SO2 emission rate of the fuel combusted.
    (d) As an alternative to operating a CEMS at the inlet to the
SO2 control device (or outlet of the steam generating unit
if no SO2 control device is used) as required under
paragraph (a) of this section, an owner or operator may elect to
determine the average SO2 emission rate by sampling the fuel
prior to combustion. As an alternative to operating a CEMS at the
outlet from the SO2 control device (or outlet of the steam
generating unit if no SO2 control device is used) as
required under paragraph (a) of this section, an owner or operator may
elect to determine the average SO2 emission rate by using
Method 6B of appendix A of this part. Fuel sampling shall be conducted
pursuant to either paragraph (d)(1) or (d)(2) of this section. Method
6B of appendix A of this part shall be conducted pursuant to paragraph
(d)(3) of this section.
    (1) For affected facilities combusting coal or oil, coal or oil
samples shall be collected daily in an as-fired condition at the inlet
to the steam generating unit and analyzed for sulfur content and heat
content according to Method 19 of appendix A of this part. Method 19 of
appendix A of this part provides procedures for converting these
measurements into the format to be used in calculating the average
SO2 input rate.
    (2) As an alternative fuel sampling procedure for affected
facilities combusting oil, oil samples may be collected from the fuel
tank for each steam generating unit immediately after the fuel tank is
filled and before any oil is combusted. The owner or operator of the
affected facility shall analyze the oil sample to determine the sulfur
content of the oil. If a partially empty fuel tank is refilled, a new
sample and analysis of the fuel in the tank would be required upon
filling. Results of the fuel analysis taken after each new shipment of
oil is received shall be used as the daily value when calculating the
30-day rolling average until the next shipment is received. If the fuel
analysis shows that the sulfur content in the fuel tank is greater than
0.5 weight percent sulfur, the owner or operator shall ensure that the
sulfur content of subsequent oil shipments is low enough to cause the
30-day rolling average sulfur content to be 0.5 weight percent sulfur
or less.
    (3) Method 6B of appendix A of this part may be used in lieu of
CEMS to measure SO2 at the inlet or outlet of the
SO2 control system. An initial

stratification test is required to verify the adequacy of the Method 6B
of appendix A of this part sampling location. The stratification test
shall consist of three paired runs of a suitable SO2 and
CO2 measurement train operated at the candidate location and
a second similar train operated according to the procedures in Sec.
3.2 and the applicable procedures in section 7 of Performance
Specification 2 of appendix B of this part. Method 6B of appendix A of
this part, Method 6A of appendix A of this part, or a combination of
Methods 6 and 3 of appendix A of this part or Methods 6C and 3A of
appendix A of this part are suitable measurement techniques. If Method
6B of appendix A of this part is used for the second train, sampling
time and timer operation may be adjusted for the stratification test as
long as an adequate sample volume is collected; however, both sampling
trains are to be operated similarly. For the location to be adequate
for Method 6B of appendix A of this part 24-hour tests, the mean of the
absolute difference between the three paired runs must be less than 10
percent (0.10).
    (e) The monitoring requirements of paragraphs (a) and (d) of this
section shall not apply to affected facilities subject to Sec.
60.42c(h)(1), (2), or (3) where the owner or operator of the affected
facility seeks to demonstrate compliance with the SO2
standards based on fuel supplier certification, as described under
Sec.  60.48c(f), as applicable.
    (f) The owner or operator of an affected facility operating a CEMS
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section, or conducting as-fired fuel
sampling pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) of this section, shall obtain
emission data for at least 75 percent of the operating hours in at
least 22 out of 30 successive steam generating unit operating days. If
this minimum data requirement is not met with a single monitoring
system, the owner or operator of the affected facility shall supplement
the emission data with data collected with other monitoring systems as
approved by the Administrator.

Sec.  60.47c  Emission monitoring for particulate matter.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section,
the owner or operator of an affected facility combusting coal, oil, or
wood that is subject to the opacity standards under Sec.  60.43c shall
install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a COMS for measuring the
opacity of the emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system.
    (b) All COMS for measuring opacity shall be operated in accordance
with the applicable procedures under Performance Specification 1 of
appendix B of this part. The span value of the opacity COMS shall be
between 60 and 80 percent.
    (c) Affected facilities that burn only distillate oil that contains
no more than 0.5 weight percent sulfur and/or liquid or gaseous fuels
with potential sulfur dioxide emission rates of 26 ng/J (0.06 lb/MMBtu)
heat input or less and that do not use a post combustion technology to
reduce SO2 or PM emissions are not required to operate a
CEMS for measuring opacity if they follow the applicable procedures
under Sec.  60.48c(f).
    (d) Owners or operators complying with the PM emission limit by
using a PM CEMS monitor instead of monitoring opacity must calibrate,
maintain, and operate a CEMS, and record the output of the system, for
PM emissions discharged to the atmosphere as specified in Sec.
60.45c(d). The CEMS specified in paragraph Sec.  60.45c(d) shall be
operated and data recorded during all periods of operation of the
affected facility except for CEMS breakdowns and repairs. Data is
recorded during calibration checks, and zero and span adjustments.

Sec.  60.48c  Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    (a) The owner or operator of each affected facility shall submit
notification of the date of construction or reconstruction and actual
startup, as provided by Sec.  60.7 of this part. This notification
shall include:
    (1) The design heat input capacity of the affected facility and
identification of fuels to be combusted in the affected facility.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0852]
RIN 625-AA87

Security Zones; San Francisco Bay, San Francisco, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing two temporary security zones
in the navigable waters of the San Francisco Bay, San Francisco, CA
within the San Francisco Captain of the Port (COTP) zone. The security
zones are along U.S. Highway 101 North from Oyster Point to Candlestick
Point, and San Francisco Pier 27/29, approximately 200 yards from
shore. The security zones are necessary to protect the harbors, ports,
and waterfront facilities during a visit from high-ranking government
officials and members of their official party. Entry of vessels or
persons into these zones is prohibited unless specifically authorized
by the Captain of the Port San Francisco or a designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from November 14, 2023 through November
18, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

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

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable and contrary to
the public interest. The Coast Guard was not notified with ample time
to allow for public comment. The visit by high-ranking government
officials and members of their official party will conclude prior to
the publication and completion of a comment period. Additionally, it is
impracticable to publish a NPRM because the visit is scheduled to occur
from November 14 through November 18, 2023, and we must establish these
security zones by those dates. We lack sufficient time to solicit
comments and review prior to issuing a final action.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds good cause exists
for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in
the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date would be
impracticable because action is needed starting November 14, 2023, to
protect high-ranking government officials, members of their official
party, the security of harbors, ports, and waterfront facilities, and
mitigate potential subversive acts.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70051 and 70124. High-ranking government officials and members of their
official party plan to visit the San Francisco area and will be in the
areas of U.S. Highway 101 North from Oyster Point to

Candlestick Point, and San Francisco Pier 27/29. These are located
adjacent to U.S. navigable waters in the San Francisco COTP zone. The
Captain of the Port San Francisco (COTP) has determined that these
security zones are needed to ensure the safety of the high-ranking
government officials and members of their official party.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes two security zones from November 14 through
November 18, 2023. These security zones will cover all navigable waters
of the San Francisco Bay, from surface to bottom, and be for the areas
and times described below or as otherwise noted by Marine Information
Broadcast, and will be referred to as Zones A, and B.
    Zone A is along U.S. Highway 101 North from Oyster Point to
Candlestick Point, San Francisco Pier 27/29, approximately 200 yards
from shore. Zone A is within the area formed by connecting the
following latitude and longitude points in the following order:
37[deg]42'28.8'' N, 122[deg]21'45.0'' W; thence to 37[deg]42'31.0'' N,
122[deg]22'27.0'' W; thence along the shore to 37[deg]40'37.5'' N,
122[deg]22'45.0'' W; thence to 37[deg]40'20.4'' N, 122[deg]22'10.6'' W
and thence to the point of beginning. This zone will be in effect from
12:01 a.m. on November 14, 2023, through 11:59 p.m. on November 18,
2023.
    Zone B will be around San Francisco Pier 27/29 and approximately
200 yards from shore. Zone B is within the area formed by connecting
the following latitude and longitude points in the following order:
37[deg]48'23.49'' N, 122[deg]24'12.1'' W; thence to 37[deg]48'28.36''
N, 122[deg]24'8.48'' W; thence to 37[deg]48'34.68'' N,
122[deg]24'3.44'' W; thence to 37[deg]48'29.59'' N, 122[deg]23'51.5''
W; thence to 37[deg]48'16.79'' N, 122[deg]23'54.88'' W; thence along
the shore and piers to the point of beginning. This zone will be in
effect 12:01 a.m. on November 14, 2023, through 11:59 p.m. on November
18, 2023.
    The duration of these zones is intended to protect the harbors,
ports, and waterfront facilities during the high-ranking government
officials' visit to the local area and to ensure the safety of the
official party. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the
security zone except for authorized support vessels, aircraft, and
support personnel, or other vessels authorized by the COTP or a
designated representative.

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. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the sizes,
locations, and durations of the security zones. The effect of this rule
will not be significant because local waterways users will be notified
by marine information broadcast and on-scene enforcement to ensure the
security zones will result in minimum impact.

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
security zones may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

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

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

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

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast

Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
security zones in effect during a period of five days in various
locations, that will be enforced for the entirety of those five days.
It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a)
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.
A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination
is available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket,
see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

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