[Docket Nos. RM05-17-005 and RM05-25-005; Order No. 890-D]

Preventing Undue Discrimination and Preference in Transmission
Service

November 19, 2009.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Energy.

ACTION: Order on Clarification.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission affirms its basic
determinations in Order Nos. 890, 890-A, 890-B, and 890-C, granting
clarification regarding certain revisions to its regulations and the
pro forma open-access transmission tariff, or OATT, adopted in Order
Nos. 888 and 889 to ensure that transmission services are provided on a
basis that is just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory. The
Commission grants clarification regarding the requirement to
undesignate network resources used to serve off-system sales.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule will become effective November 25,
2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina Hayes, Office of the General
Counsel--Energy Markets, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff, Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly,
Marc Spitzer, and Philip D. Moeller.

Order on Clarification

    1. On February 16, 2007, the Commission issued Order No. 890,\1\
addressing and remedying opportunities for undue discrimination under
the pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) adopted in Order
No. 888.\2\ The pro forma OATT was intended to foster greater
competition in wholesale power markets by reducing barriers to entry in
the provision of transmission service. In the twelve years since Order
No. 888, however, flaws in the pro forma OATT undermined, in part, its
ability to realize the core objective of remedying undue
discrimination. The Commission acted in Order No. 890 to correct these
flaws by reforming the terms and conditions of the pro forma OATT in
several critical areas, including the calculation of available transfer
capability (ATC), the planning of transmission facilities, and the
conditions of services offered by each transmission provider.

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

    2. In Order Nos. 890-A, 890-B, and 890-C, the Commission largely
affirmed the reforms adopted in Order No. 890. The Commission concluded
that, taken together, these reforms will better enable the pro forma
OATT to achieve the core objective of remedying undue discrimination in
the provision of transmission service. In Order No. 890-C, the
Commission granted clarification regarding the degree of consistency
required in the calculation of ATC by transmission providers and denied
rehearing regarding the requirement to undesignate network resources
used to serve off-system sales. Duke Energy Corporation (Duke) has
sought clarification of the latter determination.

I. Reforms of the OATT

A. Designation of Network Resources

    3. In Order No. 890-C, the Commission affirmed the requirement that
network resources used to supply sales of system power off-system must
first be undesignated.\3\ The Commission explained that transactions in
which the buyer and seller are both located on the same transmission
system are distinct from transactions involving sales of energy from a
network customer to an off-system buyer. In the latter circumstance,
the off-system buyer will not be using network service to take delivery
from the host transmission provider but, instead, must identify the
points of receipt and delivery for the transaction on the host
transmission provider's system. The Commission stated that the point-
to-point transmission reservation and the corresponding resource-
specific undesignation provide the transmission provider with the
information it needs regarding the location of particular resources
being used by the seller to source the transaction in order to model
the effect of the transaction on its transmission system and set aside
ATC accordingly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Order No. 890-C, 126 FERC ] 61,228 at P 17 (citing Order
No. 890-B, 123 FERC ] 61,299 at P 206).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Request for Clarification
    4. Duke argues that the Commission's determination in Order No.
890-C is inconsistent with the pro forma OATT and Order No. 888. Duke
contends that Order No. 890-C indicates that network customers
purchasing system power from an off-system seller cannot take network
service from the off-system seller's transmission provider, but instead
must procure point-to-point service from the transmission system on
which the off-system seller is located. Duke asserts that this is
inconsistent with section 31.3 of the pro forma OATT, which permits
network loads of network customers to not be physically interconnected
with the transmission provider from whom they take network service.
Duke notes that the Commission has acknowledged in prior cases that,
although not generally used for through-and-out service, network
service can be used to serve loads on neighboring transmission
systems.\4\ Duke seeks confirmation that, where an off-system buyer is
buying system power from a seller that is a network customer on an
adjacent transmission system, the off-system buyer needs transmission
service on both the system on which the seller is located and the
system on which the buyer is located, but that it remains the choice of
the buyer as to whether to procure network or point-to-point service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Duke Request for Clarification (citing Midwest Indep. Trans.
System Operator, Inc., 109 FERC ] 61,168, at P 80 (2004)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. If the Commission confirms that an off-system buyer is permitted
to take network service from both transmission providers, Duke
questions whether the seller needs to undesignate specific generating
resources or whether it can undesignate a slice of its system. Duke
contends that resource-specific undesignations are needed only if the
buyer is using point-to-point service on the transmission system on
which the seller is located for delivery, not if the off-system buyer
takes network service on that system.\5\ Duke suggests that, where the
buyer is a network customer on both transmission systems, the reason
for requiring resource-specific

undesignation by the seller is eliminated. Duke requests clarification
that a slice of system undesignation by the seller would be appropriate
in such circumstances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Duke Request for Clarification at 4-5 (citing Order No. 890-
C, 126 FERC ] 61,228 at P 18).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commission Determination
    6. We confirm that, where an off-system buyer is buying system
power from a seller that is a network customer on an adjacent
transmission system, the buyer needs transmission service on both the
system on which the seller is located and the system on which buyer is
located, but that it remains the buyer's choice as to whether to
procure network or point-to-point service. The Commission's reference
in Order No. 890-C to the use of point-to-point service to take
delivery of system power was not intended to restrict the buyer's
choice to instead use network service. As Duke notes, there may be a
situation in which a buyer and seller of capacity from a network
resource both take network service on the same transmission system and
the power is delivered under section 31.3 of the pro forma OATT to
another transmission system on which the buyer's network load is
located. In such a situation, both the buyer and seller of power are
network customers of the transmission system on which the sale of power
takes place. We clarify, to the extent necessary, that the seller in
such a situation may support the transaction by undesignating its
resources on a system basis.
    7. In Order No. 890-C, the Commission noted that the Reliability
Standards governing the calculation of ATC were pending Commission
review. Concurrent with this order, the Commission in Docket No. RM08-
19-000 is directing the North American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC) to develop modifications to certain of these Reliability
Standards to address the modeling of network resources and its impact
on the calculation of ATC. To the extent Duke or other parties have
concerns regarding the appropriate modeling of network resource
designations on the calculation of ATC, the Commission encourages those
parties to raise their concerns in NERC's standards development
process.

II. Information Collection Statement

    8. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations require
that OMB approve certain information collection requirements imposed by
an agency.\6\ The revisions to the information collection requirements
for transmission providers adopted in Order No. 890 were approved under
OMB Control Nos. 1902-0233. This order does not substantively alter
those requirements. OMB approval of this order is therefore
unnecessary. However, the Commission will send a copy of this order to
OMB for informational purposes only.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus Model A300
series airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series
airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively
called Model A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310 series
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on

June 28, 2016 (81 FR 41892). The NPRM was prompted by a report
indicating that during inspections to detect corrosion of the bulk
cargo doors, several cracks were discovered. The NPRM proposed to
require a general visual inspection of the bulk cargo door frame to
identify any structural repairs, a detailed visual inspection of the
frame at the repaired area for any cracking if necessary, and
corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct cracking of the bulk cargo doors; such cracking could result in
rapid airplane decompression or possible loss of the bulk cargo door.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2015-0238, dated December 18, 2015 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model A300 series
airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes,
and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model
A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310 series airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    During inspections to detect corrosion on the Bulk Cargo Doors
of Airbus A300 family aeroplanes, several cracks were discovered.
Investigations revealed that a set of SRM [structural repair manual]
repair solutions was defined in 1993, and was classified as
permanent and without limitation. As of 2011, this set of repair
solutions was revised and classified permanent, but with post-repair
required actions.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in
rapid decompression events or even loss of the bulk cargo door.
    As per Ageing Aircraft rules, it was determined that new
inspections have to be completed on the Bulk Cargo Door Frames to
detect potential fatigue damages on repaired structures or to
perform a new repair scheme.
    Based on the fact that several aeroplanes could potentially be
flying with potential fatigue damages on repaired structures, Airbus
was requested to issue Alert Operator Transmission (AOT) A53W010-15
to provide fleet-wide inspection instructions to address this
condition.
    For the reasons describes above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection of the bulk cargo door frame to determine whether a
repair has been accomplished and, depending on findings,
accomplishment of applicable corrective action(s).

    The required actions in this AD include a detailed visual
inspection of the bulk cargo door frame at the repaired area for any
cracking, repair of cracks, and post-repair inspections of crack-free
frames. This AD affects airplanes that have accumulated more than
14,600 total flight cycles as of the effective date of this AD. For
airplanes that have accumulated 14,600 total flight cycles or fewer as
of the effective date of this AD, no actions are required by this AD;
however, we might consider further rulemaking for these airplanes.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
7269.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Revise the Applicability

    United Parcel Service (UPS) requested that we remove Model F4-622R
airplanes from the applicability in paragraph (c) of the proposed AD.
UPS stated that review of the applicable structural repair manual (SRM)
sections identified in Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT)
A53W010-15, Revision 00, including Appendixes 1, 2, 3, and 4, dated
December 15, 2015, revealed that Model A300 F4-622R airplanes with
Airbus Modification 12046 embodied do not have the repair configuration
in question available for use on these airplanes.
    We agree with the commenter's request. Since the issuance of the
NPRM, Airbus has revised the service information. Airbus AOT A53W010-
15, Revision 01, including Appendixes 1, 2, 3, and 4, dated October 4,
2016, excludes Model A300 F4-622R and Model F4-605R airplanes in the
post-Modification 12046 configuration. Therefore, we have redesignated
paragraph (c) of the proposed AD as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD and
added paragraph (c)(2) to this AD to exclude those airplanes.

Request To Add Certain Language to the NPRM

    Richard Vernon requested that we revise paragraph (g) of the
proposed AD to state that no further action is required for airplanes
on which no structural repairs are identified.
    We agree. We have determined that this change is consistent with
the intent of the MCAI. Therefore, we have revised paragraph (g) of
this AD to state that if no structural repairs are found or identified
during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD or the
maintenance records review specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, no
further action is required by this AD for that airplane.

Request To Expand and Reorganize the NPRM

    UPS requested that we revise the NPRM to expand paragraph (g) and
to reorganize paragraphs (h) through (i) of the proposed AD. UPS stated
that the initial inspection and applicable corrective actions are
spread over multiple paragraphs, including combining reporting
requirements with the ``no damage found'' follow-on action.
    We disagree with the commenter's request. While we understand the
commenter's proposed reorganization of the paragraphs, our intent of
the AD as written is to provide requirements that are consistent with
the requirements of the MCAI. We have not changed this AD in this
regard.

Request To Provide Guidance for Airplanes Repaired After December 2011

    UPS commented that a detailed review of paragraphs (g) and (h) of
the proposed AD indicates that there is no guidance for airplanes
without repairs installed or repairs installed after December 2011 when
the repair was classified in the SRM as ``permanent with post-repair
actions.'' UPS stated that it is possible for an airplane with more
than 14,600 total flight cycles to have an SRM repair identified in
Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A53W010-15, Revision 00, dated
December 15, 2015, References (1) through (8), and to be in compliance
with the SRM post-repair actions and still have to re-validate the
repair per the NPRM.
    We infer that UPS is requesting that we provide guidance for
airplanes repaired after December 2011 and airplanes with no repairs
installed.
    We agree to clarify. There is further action for airplanes repaired
after December 2011, as required by paragraph (h) of this AD. SRM
repairs and post-repair inspections do not allow for detecting cracks
at doubler angles, whether the repairs were permanent or not or
performed before or after December 2011. We have not revised this AD in
this regard. For airplanes on which no structural repairs are
identified during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD
or the records review specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, no further
action is necessary. As stated previously, we have added language to
paragraph (g) of this AD that states that if no structural repairs are
found or identified, no further action is required by this AD for that
airplane.

Request To Allow Maintenance Records Review in Lieu of Inspection

    UPS provided restructured text for paragraph (g) of the proposed
AD. The text includes an allowance to review the airplane maintenance
records to identify the existence of any structural repairs of the bulk
cargo door frame.
    From this language provided by UPS, we infer that UPS was
requesting that we include an option to allow a review of the airplane
maintenance records to determine the existence of any structural
repairs in lieu of the required general visual inspection of the bulk
cargo door frame. We agree. We have revised paragraph (g) of this AD to
add a statement that a review of airplane maintenance records is
acceptable in lieu of the inspection specified in paragraph (g) of this
AD as long as the existence of any structural repairs can be
conclusively determined from that review. We have also revised
paragraph (h) of this AD to refer to the maintenance records review.

Request for Credit for Previous Actions

    FedEx requested that we allow credit for those airplanes which have
been previously inspected in accordance with Airbus AOT A53W010-15,
Revision 00, including Appendixes 1, 2, 3, and 4, dated December 15,
2015. FedEx stated that it has previously performed the required
inspection on its airplanes as specified in Airbus AOT A53W010-15,
Revision 00, including Appendixes 1, 2, 3, and 4, dated December 15,
2015. FedEx stated that Airbus indicated that airplanes having
accumulated less than 14,600 total flight cycles will be covered later
by another means of inspection. FedEx asserted that the NPRM will
impose an additional burden based upon the results of the inspection on
its airplanes, which were all negative.
    We agree with the commenter's request for the reasons stated. We
have revised this AD to provide credit for actions specified in
paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD if those actions were done before the
effective date of this AD using Airbus AOT A53W010-15, Revision 00,
including Appendixes 1, 2, 3, and 4, dated December 15, 2015.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Airbus AOT A53W010-15, Revision 01, including
Appendixes 1, 2, 3, and 4, dated October 4, 2016. The service
information describes procedures for a general visual inspection of the
bulk cargo door frame to identify any structural repairs, and a
detailed visual inspection of the frame at the repaired area. The
service information also provides procedures for contacting Airbus for
repair instructions and reporting of inspection results. This service
information 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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 135 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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.
    We are 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

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will 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.

    Title: NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion
Engines (Renewal)
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2227.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0610.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes,
or additions to these Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
JJJJ.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or
operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of
an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system
is inoperative. At a minimum, reports are required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1
hour per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently

changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of stationary
spark ignition internal combustion engines.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 17,052.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and on-occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 22,634.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,426,590, which includes $2,123,623
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $2,302,967 in operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the total
estimated labor hour burden as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens because the rule is now fully
implemented. The previous ICR covered the initial phase of standard
implementation which occurred over a three-year period. This ICR shows
the labor hour and cost burden after full implementation. This decrease
is not due to any program changes.
    The change in cost to Respondents and the Agency is due to both
labor rate adjustments to reflect the most recent available estimates
and an overall decrease in burden.

    Dated: February 3, 2011.

Public Meeting

    We do not now plan to hold a public meeting. But you may submit a
request for one, on or before April 20, 2011, using one of the four
methods specified under ADDRESSES. Please explain why you believe a
public meeting would be beneficial. If we determine that one would aid
this rulemaking, we will hold one at a time and place announced by a
later notice in the Federal Register. For information on facilities or
services for individuals with disabilities or to request special
assistance at the public meeting, contact Petty Officer David Labadie
at the telephone number or e-mail address indicated under the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.

Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this rule is 33 U.S.C. 1233, which authorizes
the Coast Guard to define Special Local Regulations.
    This proposed rule is necessary to ensure the safety of vessels and
spectators from the hazards associated with competitive sailing
regattas. Without the proposed rule, the combination of a large number
of recreational vessels due to spectators, sailboats traveling at high
speeds on the race course, and large numbers of spectators on the
adjacent Fan Pier in close proximity to the water and in a small area
of water, could easily result in serious injuries or fatalities.
Establishing a special local regulation for the event will help ensure
the safety of persons and property and minimize the associated risks by
controlling vessel traffic and movement.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed temporary special local regulation is necessary to
ensure the safety of vessels, participants, and the public during the
Extreme Sailing Series Boston regatta. The event will take place over
the course of five days in Boston Harbor in the vicinity of Fan Pier.
There will be two regulated areas associated with this event and they
will be enforced immediately before, during, and after the regatta,
from June 30th through July 4th, 2011, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
    The COTP will inform the public about the details of the regulated
areas using a variety of means, including, but not limited to,
Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local Notice to Mariners.
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
COTP Boston or the designated on-scene representative. Specific
instructions for entering into, transiting through, mooring or
anchoring within the regulated areas, will be coordinated by the COTP
Boston or the designated on-scene representative. The COTP or the
designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16
or by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. This rule may have some
impact on the public, but these potential impacts will be minimal for
the following reasons: (1) The rule will be in effect for five hours
per day for five days; (2) persons and vessels may still enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area if they obtain
permission from the COTP or the designated representative; and (3)
advance notification will be made to the maritime community via
broadcast notice to mariners and Local Notice to Mariners (LNM).

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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 proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
    This proposed rule will affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to enter, transit through, anchor in or remain

within this regulated area during periods of enforcement.
    This proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
proposed rule will be enforced for a short duration and the race area
within the Special Local Regulation area can be quickly collapsed at
the discretion of the COTP, as necessary to allow for certain vessels
greater than 65 feet in length to transit, provided the vessels have
given a five-hour advance notice of their intended transit to the COTP.
All other vessels not required to provide advance notification may
transit within the Special Local Regulation area, with the exception of
the race area, at all times while following the regulations in this
proposed rule.
    Additionally, the race organizers will coordinate with industry and
the Boston Pilots to provide minimal interruption of commercial vessel
traffic during the enforcement periods.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    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 proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 PO David Labadie at the
telephone number or e-mail address indicated under the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

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 proposed rule would not
result in such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination under paragraph 34(h) of the
Instruction, 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 proposed rule involves the establishment of a special
local regulation. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
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
proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

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

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 33 CFR part 100 as follows:

PART 100--SAFETY OF LIFE ON NAVIGABLE WATERS

    1. The authority citation for part 100 continues to read as
follows:

    Authority:  33 U.S.C. 1233.

    2. Add 33 CFR 100.35-T01-0103 to read as follows:

Sec.  100.35-T01-0103  Special Local Regulation; Extreme Sailing Series
Boston; Boston Harbor; Boston, MA.

    (a) Regulated Area.
    (1) The following is designated as the special local regulation
area: All waters of Boston Harbor near Boston, MA, surface to bottom,
encompassed by an area starting at position: 42[deg]21.3' N;
071[deg]03' W, thence crossing the Fort Point Channel along Northern
Avenue to position 42[deg]21.3' N; 071[deg]02.9' W, continuing
Southeast along the Shoreline past Fan Pier to the end of the North
Jetty at position 42[deg]20.8' N; 071[deg]01.4' W, continuing and
crossing Boston Harbor to the opposite shore near Logan Airport at
position 42[deg]21.2' N; 071[deg]01' W, continuing Northwest in a
straight line along the shoreline to Pier One at position 42[deg]21.9'
N; 071[deg]02.5' W, thence back across Boston Harbor to the point of
origin at position 42[deg]21.3' N; 071[deg]03' W.
    (2) The following area within the special local regulation area is
specified as the race area:
    All waters of Boston Harbor near Boston, MA, surface to bottom,
encompassed by an area starting at position: 42[deg]21.59' N;
071[deg]02.52' W, thence to position 42[deg]21.28' N; 071[deg]01.83' W,
thence to position 42[deg]21.10' N; 071[deg]01.95' W, thence to
position 42[deg]21.20' N; 071[deg]02.26' W, thence to position
42[deg]21.15' N; 071[deg]02.31' W, thence to position 42[deg]21.31' N;
071[deg]02.72' W, thence to the point of origin at position
42[deg]21.59' N; 071[deg]02.52' W. This area will be clearly defined by
floating buoys and will have the ability to be collapsed quickly to
allow for safe passage of traffic if they have obtained permission from
the COTP or the designated representative.
    (b) Regulations. In accordance with the general regulations in 33
CFR part 100, to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the special local regulation area is prohibited unless permission has
been authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Boston, or the
designated on-scene representative. The ``designated on-scene
representative'' is any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty
officer who is designated by the COTP to act on his behalf. The
designated on-scene representative will be aboard either a Coast Guard
or Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel. The COTP or the designated on-scene
representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16 or by telephone at
(617) 223-5750.
    (1) The following restrictions apply to the special local
regulation area identified in section (a)(1) of this regulation.
    (i) Special Anchorage ``A'', which is a small vessel anchorage
located near Rowes Wharf, is the only permitted area for anchoring. All
other anchoring within this special local regulation area, including in
Anchorage Area 1, is prohibited.
    (ii) This special local regulation area is designed to restrict
vessel traffic, including all non-motorized vessels, except as may be
permitted by the COTP Boston or the designated on-scene representative.
    (iii) Within this area all vessels will transit at the minimum
speed necessary to maintain headway without creating a wake.
    (iv) Due to the waterway area restriction and the expected increase
in recreational vessels in the area, vessel operators of all vessels 65
feet in length or greater desiring to enter or operate within the
special local regulation area shall contact the COTP or the designated
on-scene representative at least five hours prior to the desired
transit time to obtain permission to do so. Permission to enter the
special local regulation area will be considered on a case-by-case
basis at the discretion of the COTP and vessels may be escorted through
the area if the COTP deems it necessary for safe transit. Failure to
provide notification of entry at least five hours prior to transit may
result in a denial of entry into the regulated area during the
enforcement period. Vessel operators given permission to enter the area
must comply with all directions given to them by the COTP or the
designated on-scene representative.
    (2) The following restrictions apply to the area identified as the
race area in section (a)(2) of this regulation.
    (i) This area is closed to all vessel traffic, with the exception
of vessels involved directly with the event such as: sailboat race
participants, event safety vessels, on-scene patrol and law enforcement
vessels.
    (c) Effective Period: This regulation is effective from 1 p.m. on
June 30, 2011, to 6 p.m. on July 4, 2011. This regulation will be
enforced daily from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m., June 30, 2011 through July 4,
2011.

    Abstract: 40 Part 257 Subpart B established specific standards and
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for owners and operators of
new, existing, and lateral expansions of existing non-municipal non-
hazardous waste disposal units that receive conditionally exempt small
quantity generator (CESQG) hazardous wastes. In order to effectively
implement and enforce 40 CFR part 257 Subpart B on a State level,
owners/operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that
receive CESQG hazardous wastes have to comply with the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are States.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: mandatory (40 CFR 257).
    Estimated number of respondents: 152.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 11,215. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,577,659 which includes $936,491 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.
