Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for Airbus Helicopters Model SA-365N, SA-365N1, AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, EC
155B, and EC155B1 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports
of the cockpit doors failing to open after ditching with inflated
floats on certain helicopters equipped with an emergency flotation
system (EFS). This proposed AD would require revising the existing
Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for your helicopter, installing
placards, and depending on your model helicopter, modification of the
jettisoning system, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference
(IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by September
26, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued a series of ADs, with the most recent being
EASA AD 2021-0101R1, dated February 25, 2022 (EASA AD 2021-0101R1), to
correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters (AH), formerly
Eurocopter, Eurocopter France, Aerospatiale, Sud Aviation, Model SA

365 N, SA 365 N1, AS 365 N2, AS 365 N3, EC 155 B, and EC 155 B1
helicopters.
    EASA initially issued EASA AD 2021-0041, dated January 28, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0041), for certain Model SA 365 N, SA 365 N1, AS 365 N2,
AS 365 N3, EC 155 B, and EC 155 B1 helicopters, which required
modifying the jettisoning system by installing an external handle on
the jettison system of the pilot and co-pilot doors on certain Model
SA/AS 365 helicopters, installing external instruction placards on the
left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) side of the helicopter, and amending
the RFM. EASA later issued EASA AD 2021-0101, dated April 12, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0101), which superseded EASA AD 2021-0041, to also
address Model AS 365 helicopters with the Airbus Helicopters Forward
Looking InfraRed (AH FLIR) system installed.
    EASA AD 2021-0101R1 retains the requirements of EASA AD 2021-0101
and extends the compliance time for Model SA 365 N, SA 365 N1, AS 365
N2, and AS 365 N3 helicopters, if equipped with the fixed parts of the
AH FLIR system installation and that are not equipped with an EFS with
a certain cabin layout where the passage between cabin and cockpit is
smaller than a Type 4 passage (as defined in EASA AD 2021-0101R1);
except helicopters that have Airbus Helicopters modification (AH MOD)
MC90B73 embodied in production.
    This proposed AD was prompted by reports of failure of the cockpit
doors to open after ditching with inflated floats on certain
helicopters equipped with an EFS. EASA advises emergency evacuation was
only possible by jettisoning the hinged doors from the inside or by
accessing the emergency exits in the cabin. EASA further advises that
the passage from the cockpit to the cabin may be impaired on
helicopters with certain interior layouts.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to prevent cockpit doors failing to
open during an emergency evacuation after an emergency ditching with
inflated floats, which could result in the prevention of incapacitated
occupants exiting the helicopter during an emergency from the outside
by external rescuers. See EASA AD 2021-0101R1 for additional background
information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0101R1 requires amending the RFM; installing placards
on the LH and RH side of the helicopter; and for certain helicopters,
modifying the jettison system by installing an external handle on the
jettison system of the pilot and co-pilot doors.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
No. AS365-52.00.27, Revision 1, dated June 4, 2021 (AS365-52.00.27, Rev
1), which specifies procedures for installing labels (placards) on the
pilot and co-pilot doors. AS365-52.00.27, Rev 1, also specifies
procedures for installing an external handle on the jettison system.
    The FAA also reviewed Airbus Helicopters ASB No. AS365-52.00.29,
Revision 1, dated February 9, 2022, ASB No. AS365-52.00.29, Revision 0,
dated February 10, 2021, and ASB No. EC155-52A033, Revision 0, dated
September 30, 2020. This service information specifies procedures for
installing labels (placards) on the pilot and co-pilot doors.
    The FAA also reviewed Airbus Helicopters Flight Manual (FM) SA 365
N Supplement, SUP.10.4, Normal Revision (NR) 7, date code 20-40; Airbus
Helicopters FM SA 365 N1 Supplement, SUP.10.4, NR 9, date code 20-40;
Airbus Helicopters FM AS 365 N2 Supplement, SUP.14, NR 6, date code 20-
40; Airbus Helicopters FM AS 365 N3 Supplement, SUP.14, NR 12, date
code 20-28; Airbus Helicopters FM EC 155 B Supplement, SUP.14, NR 7,
date code 20-11; and Airbus Helicopters FM EC 155 B1 Supplement,
SUP.14, NR 8, date code 20-11. This service information provides
updated procedures for ditching and emergency evacuation.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other helicopters of these same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2021-0101R1, described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this proposed AD and except as discussed under
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and EASA AD 2021-0101R1.''
    This proposed AD would also require revising the existing RFM for
your helicopter by updating the normal procedures section.
Incorporating the RFM revision may be performed by the owner/operator
(pilot) holding at least a private pilot certificate, and must be
entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in
accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record
must be maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2021-0101R1 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2021-0101R1 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading
of a particular section in EASA AD 2021-0101R1 does not mean that
operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2021-
0101R1. Service information referenced in EASA AD 2021-0101R1 for
compliance will be available at www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-0988 after the FAA final rule is
published.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and EASA AD 2021-0101R1

    EASA AD 2021-0101R1 allows using Airbus Helicopters ASB No. AS365-
52.00.27, original issue, dated November 17, 2020 (including Erratum to
ASB AS365-52.00.27, original issue, dated January 21, 2021); whereas
this proposed AD would not. This proposed AD would require using Airbus
Helicopters ASB No. AS365-52.00.27, Revision 1, dated June 4, 2021,
instead.

Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2021-0101R1 specifies to ``modify the
helicopter in accordance with the instructions of Section 3 of the
applicable ASB,'' this proposed AD would require using the instructions
of Section 3.B. of the applicable ASB.
    EASA AD 2021-0101R1 requires operators to ``inform all flight
crews'' of revisions to the RFM, and thereafter to ``operate the
helicopter accordingly.'' However, this proposed AD would not
specifically require those actions. FAA regulations mandate compliance
with only the operating limitations section of the flight manual. The
flight manual changes required by this proposed AD would apply to the
emergency procedures and normal procedures sections of the existing RFM
for your helicopter. Furthermore, compliance with such requirements in
an AD is impracticable to demonstrate or track on an ongoing basis;
therefore, a requirement to operate the aircraft in such a manner is
unenforceable. Nonetheless, the FAA recommends that flight crews of the
helicopters listed in the applicability operate in accordance with the
revised emergency procedures and normal procedures proposed by this AD.
    This proposed AD would allow the owner/operator (pilot) holding at
least a private pilot certificate to revise the existing RFM for your
helicopter and do the logbook entry, where as EASA AD 2021-0101R1 does
not specify this. This proposed AD would require these actions to be
entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in
accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record
must be maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439.
    For certain helicopters, this proposed AD would require revising
section 4.1, Normal Procedures, of the existing RFM for your helicopter
to add a check to the RH and LH Cockpit Door Jettison Handles, whereas
EASA AD 2021-0101R1 does not require that action.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 40 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at
$85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this proposed AD.
    Revising the existing RFM for your helicopter would take about 0.25
work-hour for an estimated cost of $21 per helicopter and $840 for the
U.S. fleet.
    Installing placards on the pilot and co-pilot doors would take
about 1 work-hour and parts would cost up to about $138 for an
estimated cost of up to $223 per helicopter.
    For helicopters with the AH FLIR system installed, installing
placards on the pilot and co-pilot doors would take about 0.5 work-hour
and parts would cost about $52 for an estimated cost of $95 per
helicopter.
    If required, installing an external handle on the jettison system
would take about 7 work-hours and parts would cost about $1,328 for an
estimated cost of $1,923 per helicopter and $51,921 for the U.S. fleet
(27 helicopters).
    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected operators.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

Airbus Helicopters: Docket No. FAA-2022-0988; Project Identifier
MCAI-2021-00438-R.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by September 26, 2022.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Airbus Helicopters Model SA-365N, SA-
365N1, AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, EC 155B, and EC155B1 helicopters,

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of failure of the cockpit doors
to open after ditching with inflated floats on certain helicopters
equipped with an emergency flotation system (EFS). The FAA is
issuing this AD to inform external rescuers that the cockpit door
jettison function needs to be utilized to successfully egress
incapacitated flight crew from the cockpit during an emergency when
the EFS is activated. This unsafe condition, if not addressed, could
result in incapacitated occupants not being able to exit the
helicopter after an emergency ditching with inflated floats.

``inform all flight crews and, thereafter, operate the helicopter
accordingly,'' this AD does not require those actions.
    (3) The action required by paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2021-0101R1
may be performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a
private pilot certificate, and must be entered into the aircraft
records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR
43.9(a) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be maintained as
required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439.
    (4) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2021-0101R1 specifies to
``modify the helicopter in accordance with the instructions of
Section 3 of the applicable ASB,'' for this AD, replace that text

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Diabetes

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to exempt thirty-eight

Federal Register (65 FR 19477, Apr. 11, 2000). This statement is also
available at http://Docketinfo.dot.gov.

Background

    On April 6, 2009, FMCSA published a notice of receipt of Federal
diabetes exemption applications from thirty-eight individuals, and
requested comments from the public (74 FR 15578). The public comment
period closed on May 6, 2009 and no comments were received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of the thirty-eight applicants
and determined that granting the exemptions to these individuals would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level
that would be achieved by complying with the current regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3).

Diabetes Mellitus and Driving Experience of the Applicants

    The Agency established the current standard for diabetes in 1970
because several risk studies indicated that diabetic drivers had a
higher rate of crash involvement than the general population. The
diabetes rule provides that ``A person is physically qualified to drive
a commercial motor vehicle if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring
insulin for control'' (49 CFR 391.41(b)(3)).
    FMCSA established its diabetes exemption program, based on the
Agency's July 2000 study entitled ``A Report to Congress on the
Feasibility of a Program to Qualify Individuals with Insulin-Treated
Diabetes Mellitus to Operate in Interstate Commerce as Directed by the
Transportation Act for the 21st Century.'' The report concluded that a
safe and practicable protocol to allow some drivers with ITDM to
operate CMVs is feasible. The 2003 notice in conjunction with the
November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777) Federal Register Notice provides the
current protocol for allowing such drivers to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce.
    These thirty-eight applicants have had ITDM over a range of 1 to 45
years. These applicants report no hypoglycemic reaction that resulted
in loss of consciousness or seizure, that required the assistance of
another person, or resulted in impaired cognitive function without
warning symptoms in the past 5 years (with one year of stability
following any such episode). In each case, an endocrinologist has
verified that the driver has demonstrated willingness to properly
monitor and manage their diabetes, received education related to
diabetes management, and is on a stable insulin regimen. These drivers
report no other disqualifying conditions, including diabetes-related
complications. Each meets the vision standard at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
    The qualifications and medical condition of each applicant were
stated and discussed in detail in the April 6, 2009, Federal Register
Notice (74 FR 15578). Therefore, they will not be repeated in this
notice.

Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the diabetes standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) if the exemption is
likely to achieve an equivalent or greater level of safety than would
be achieved without the exemption. The exemption allows the applicants
to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
    To evaluate the effect of these exemptions on safety, FMCSA
considered medical reports about the applicants' ITDM and vision, and
reviewed the treating endocrinologist's medical opinion related to the
ability of the driver to safely operate a CMV while using insulin.
    Consequently, FMCSA finds that exempting these applicants from the
diabetes standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) is likely to achieve a level
of safety equal to that existing without the exemption.

Conditions and Requirements

    The terms and conditions of the exemption will be provided to the
applicants in the exemption document and they include the following:
(1) That each individual submit a quarterly monitoring checklist
completed by the treating endocrinologist as well as an annual
checklist with a comprehensive medical evaluation; (2) that each
individual reports within 2 business days of occurrence, all episodes
of severe hypoglycemia, significant complications, or inability to
manage diabetes; also, any involvement in an accident or any other
adverse event in a CMV or personal vehicle, whether or not they are
related to an episode of hypoglycemia; (3) that each individual provide
a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the medical
examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (4) that
each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification to
the employer for retention in the driver's qualification file, or keep
a copy in his/her driver's qualification file if he/she is self-
employed. The driver must also have a copy of the certification when
driving, for presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official.

Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.

Conclusion

    After considering the comments to the docket, and based upon its
evaluation of the thirty-eight exemption applications, FMCSA exempts,
Paul Anaya, William C. Arrington, Gregory W. Arsenault, Raymond
Barajas, Gary R. Butts, Buck H. Bowers, Darin L. Carpenter, William N.
Carpenter, James F. Carroll, Jeffrey W. Cotner, Randy J. Cool, Boyd L.

Schumaker, Kevin J. Sears, David W. Slininger, Peter A. Storm, Robert
J. Streets, Don A. Wisnosky, and Patrick D. Yasten from the ITDM
standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3), subject to the conditions listed under
``Conditions and Requirements'' above.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 each exemption will
be valid for two years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA. The exemption
will be revoked if: (1) The person fails to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower
level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315. If the exemption is
still effective at the end of the 2-year period, the person may apply
to FMCSA for a renewal under procedures in effect at that time.

    Issued on: May 15, 2009.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736.

60 Day Notice--Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Extension:
    Rule 22e-4 (60 Day Notice 2019), SEC File No. 270-794, OMB
Control No. 3235-0737.

    Notice is hereby given that, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collections of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Section 22(e) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Investment
Company Act'') provides that no registered investment company shall
suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment of
redemption proceeds for more than seven days after tender of the
security absent specified unusual circumstances. The provision was
designed to prevent funds and their investment advisers from
interfering with the redemption rights of shareholders for improper
purposes, such as the preservation of management fees. Although section
22(e) permits funds to postpone the date of payment or satisfaction
upon redemption for up to seven days, it does not permit funds to
suspend the right of redemption for any amount of time, absent certain
specified circumstances or a Commission order.
    Rule 22e-4 under the Act [17 CFR 270.22e-4] requires an open-end
fund and an exchange-traded fund that redeems in kind (``In-Kind ETF'')
to establish a written liquidity risk management program that is
reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund's or In-Kind ETF's
liquidity risk. The rule also requires board approval and oversight of
a fund's or In-Kind ETF's liquidity risk management program and
recordkeeping. Rule 22e-4 also requires a limited liquidity review,
under which a UIT's principal underwriter or depositor determines, on
or before the date of the initial deposit of portfolio securities into
the UIT, that the portion of the illiquid investments that the UIT
holds or will hold at the date of deposit that are assets is consistent
with the redeemable nature of the securities it issues and retains a
record of such determination for the life of the UIT and for five years
thereafter.
    The following estimates of average burden hours and costs are made
solely for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived
from a comprehensive or even representative survey or study of the cost
of Commission rules and forms.
    Commission staff estimates that funds within 846 fund complexes are
subject to rule 22e-4. Compliance with rule 22e-4 is mandatory for all
such funds and In-Kind ETFs, with certain program elements applicable
to certain funds within a fund complex based upon whether the fund is
an In-Kind ETF or does not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid
investments. The Commission estimates that a fund complex will incur a
one time average burden of 40 hours associated with documenting the
liquidity risk management programs adopted by each fund within a fund
complex, in addition to a one time burden of 10 hours per fund complex
associated with fund boards' review and approval of the funds'
liquidity risk management programs and preparation of board materials.
We estimate that the total burden for initial documentation and review
of funds' written liquidity risk management program will be 42,300
hours.
    Rule 22e-4 requires any fund that does not primarily hold assets
that are highly liquid investments to determine a highly liquid
investment minimum for the fund, which must be reviewed at least
annually, and may not be changed during any period of time that a
fund's assets that are highly liquid investments are below the
determined minimum without approval from the fund's board of directors.
We estimate that fund complexes will have at least one fund that will
be subject to the highly liquid investment minimum requirement. Thus,
we estimate that 846 fund complexes will be subject to this requirement
under rule 22e-4 and that the total burden for preparation of the board
report associated will be 11,844 hours.
    Rule 22e-4 requires a fund or In-Kind ETF to maintain a written
copy of the policies and procedures adopted pursuant to its liquidity
risk management program for five years in an easily accessible place.
The rule also requires a fund to maintain copies of materials provided
to the board in connection with its initial approval of the liquidity
risk management program and any written reports provided to the board,
for at least five years, the first two years in an easily accessible
place. If applicable, a fund must also maintain a written record of how
its highly liquid investment minimum and any adjustments to the minimum
were determined, as well as any reports to the board regarding a
shortfall in the fund's highly liquid investment minimum, for five
years, the first two years in an easily accessible place. We estimate
that the total burden for recordkeeping related to the liquidity risk
management program requirement of rule 22e-4 will be 3,384 hours.
    We estimate that the hour burdens and time costs associated with
rule 22e-4 for open-end funds, including the burden associated with (1)
funds' initial documentation and review of the required written
liquidity risk management program, (2) reporting to a fund's board
regarding the fund's highly liquid investment minimum, and (3)
recordkeeping requirements will result in an average aggregate annual
burden of 25,380 hours.
    UITs may in some circumstances be subject to liquidity risk
(particularly where the UIT is not a pass-through vehicle and the
sponsor does not maintain an active secondary market for UIT shares).
On or before the date of initial deposit of portfolio securities into a
registered UIT, the UIT's principal underwriter or depositor is
required to determine that the portion of the illiquid investments that
the UIT holds or will hold at the date of deposit that are assets is
consistent with the redeemable nature of the securities it issues, and
maintain a record of that

determination for the life of the UIT and for five years thereafter. We
estimate that 1,385 newly registered UITs will be subject to the UIT
liquidity determination requirement under rule 22e-4 each year. We
estimate that the total burden for the initial documentation and review
of UIT funds' written liquidity risk management program would be 13,850
hours. We estimate that the total burden for recordkeeping related to
UIT liquidity risk management programs will be 2,770 hours.
    Compliance with the collection of information requirements of the
rule is necessary to obtain the benefit of relying on the rule. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days after this
publication.

December 5, 2008.
    Take notice that on July 21, 2008, Shell Energy North America (US),
L.P. (Shell) filed a request for clarification that its negotiated rate
agreement with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), which was
accepted in Docket No. RP96-312-144, qualifies for a regulatory right
of first refusal. Shell asserts that, as a firm shipper currently
paying the maximum tariff rate under a long term negotiated rate

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2020-0420]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Upper Mississippi River, Muscatine, IA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending a pre-established safety zone for
certain waters of the Upper Missippi River during a fireworks display.
This Safety Zone is necessary to provide for the safety of life on
these navigable waters. This rulemaking will prohibit persons and
vessels from entering the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain
of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River (COTP) or a designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from September 6, 2020 from 8:30 p.m.
until 10 p.m.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

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

II. Background 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 publishing an NPRM would be
impracticable due to the fireworks show scheduled in less than sixty
days. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must establish
this safety zone by September 6, 2020.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Sector Upper
Mississippi River (COTP) has determined that potential hazards
associated with the fireworks to be used in this display would be a
safety concern for anyone between mile markers (MM) 455 and MM 456.
This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone while the
fireworks display is taking place.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    The COTP is establishing a safety zone from 8:30 through 10 p.m. on
September 6, 2020 to allow for the protection of vessels from debris
and fall out from the land based fireworks show. The safety zone would
cover all navigable waters between MM 455 and MM 456 on the Upper
Mississippi River. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the
safety of persons, vessels, and these navigable waters before, during,
and after the scheduled 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. fireworks display. No
vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative. The
COTP or a designated representative will inform the public of the
enforcement dates and times for this safety zone, as well as any
emergent safety concerns that may delay the enforcement of the zone,
through Local Notices to Mariners (LNM) and or broadcast Notice to
Mariners (BNM).

V. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the temporary safety zone. This action
involves a firework display that impacts only one mile on the Upper
Mississippi River for an hour and a half.

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 (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 a
safety zone lasting only an hour and a half that will prohibit entry
between MM 455 and MM 456 on the Upper Mississippi River. 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.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

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

Coast Guard assigned to units under the operational control of USCG
Sector Upper Mississippi River.
    (2) Persons or vessels desiring to enter into or pass through the
zone must request permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. They may be contacted by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    (3) If permission is granted, all persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the COTP or designated representative while
navigating in the regulated area.
    (d) Informational broadcasts. The COTP or a designated
