DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8091]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities, where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP), that are scheduled for suspension on the effective
dates listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the
floodplain management requirements of the program. If the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the
community has adopted the required floodplain management measures prior
to the effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension
will not occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in
the Federal Register on a subsequent date.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact David Stearrett, Mitigation Directorate,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future flooding.
Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage as authorized under
the NFIP, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; unless an appropriate public body
adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The communities listed in this document no longer
meet that statutory requirement for compliance with program
regulations, 44 CFR part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be
suspended on the effective date in the third column. As of that date,
flood insurance will no longer be available in the community. However,
some of these communities may adopt and submit the required
documentation of legally enforceable floodplain management measures
after this rule is published but prior to the actual suspension date.
These communities will not be suspended and will continue their
eligibility for the sale of insurance. A notice withdrawing the
suspension of the communities will be published in the Federal
Register.
    In addition, FEMA has identified the Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHAs) in these communities by publishing a Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM). The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated
in the fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial
assistance (except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a
flood) may legally be provided for construction or acquisition of
buildings in identified SFHAs for communities not participating in the
NFIP and identified for more than a year, on FEMA's initial flood
insurance map of the community as having flood-prone areas (section
202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a),
as amended). This prohibition against certain types of Federal
assistance becomes effective for the communities listed on the date
shown in the last column. The Administrator finds that notice and
public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary
because communities listed in this final rule have been adequately
notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate
public body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with
effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no longer comply
with the statutory requirements, and after the effective date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in the communities unless
remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents, which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available
in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West
Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20004.
The telephone number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For
additional information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) developed the
SmartWay Transport Partnership (``SmartWay'') under directives outlined
in Subtitle D of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which calls on EPA to
assess the energy and air quality impacts of activities within the
freight industry. These activities include long-duration truck idling,
the development and promotion of strategies for reducing idling, fuel
consumption, and negative air quality effects. SmartWay's objectives
also are consistent with the Federal Technology Transfer Act and other
laws that support collaborative partnerships between government and
industry.
    SmartWay is open to organizations that own, operate, or contract
with fleet operations, including truck and multi-modal carriers,
logistics companies, and shippers. Organizations that do not operate
fleets, but that are working to strengthen the freight industry, such
as industry trade associations, state and local transportation agencies
and environmental groups, also may join as SmartWay Affiliates. All
organizations that join SmartWay are asked to provide EPA with
information as part of their SmartWay registration to annually
benchmark their transportation-related operations and improve the
environmental performance of their freight activities.
    A company joins SmartWay when it completes and submits a SmartWay
Excel-based Partnership Tool (``reporting tool'') to EPA. The data
outputs from the submitted tool are used by Partners and SmartWay in
several ways. The data provides confirmation that SmartWay Partners are
meeting established objectives as in their Partnership Agreement. The
reporting tool outputs enable EPA to assist SmartWay Partners in
adjusting their commitments, as appropriate, and to update them with
environmental performance and technology information that empower them
to improve their efficiency. This information also improves EPA's
knowledge and understanding of the environmental and energy impacts
associated with goods movement, and the effectiveness of both proven
and emerging strategies to lessen those impacts.
    In addition to requesting annual transportation-related data, EPA
may ask its SmartWay Partners for other kinds of information, which
could include opinions and test data on the effectiveness of new and
emerging technology applications, sales volumes associated with
SmartWay-recommended vehicle equipment and technologies, the reach and
value of partnering with EPA through the SmartWay Partnership, and
awareness of the SmartWay brand. In some instances, EPA might query
other freight industry representatives (not just SmartWay Partners),
including trade and professional associations, nonprofit environmental
groups, energy, and community organizations, and universities, and a
small sampling of the general public.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Private and public organizations
that join the SmartWay Transport Partnership; freight industry
representatives who engage in activities related to the SmartWay
Partnership; and representative samplings of consumers in the general
public.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of Program respondents: 3,961 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually, occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 11,504 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total Estimated Cost: $628,477 (per year), which includes $1,651 in
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 3,203 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects the following adjustments and
program changes: (1) adjustments associated with increased interest in
SmartWay, and thus, an increase in new annual respondents and
applications for the SmartWay Excellence Award, as well as robust
Program retention practices, leading to increased number of Respondent
partners reporting annually; (2) increased burden associated with the
SmartWay Tractor & Trailer program; and (3) reduced burden due to EPA's
streamlined Partnership Annual Agreement process.

RIN 1625-AA87

Security Zone; Cruise Ships, Santa Barbara Harbor, Santa Barbara,
CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has established fixed security zones around
and under any cruise ships visiting Santa Barbara Harbor, Santa
Barbara, California. This regulation was created for national security
reasons to protect cruise ships, vessels, users of the waterway and the
port from potential terrorist acts. These security zones encompass all
navigable waters from the surface to the sea floor within a 100-yard
radius of any cruise ship located within 3 nautical miles of the Santa
Barbara Harbor Breakwater Light (Light List Number 3750). Mariners can
determine the exact time and date of these zones via Broadcast Notice
to Mariners, or via visual verification of the cruise ships on AIS.
Entries into these zones are prohibited unless specifically authorized
by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Los Angeles--Long Beach (LA-LB), or
his designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective November 29, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    This rule was proposed and published in the Federal Register on
June 20, 2012 (77 FR 36955). Previously, temporary security zones had
been established for cruise ships operating in Santa Barbara.

B. Basis and Purpose

    In its effort to thwart terrorist activity, the Coast Guard has
increased safety and security measures on U.S. ports and waterways. As
part of the Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986 (Pub. L.
99-399), Congress added section 7 of the Ports and Waterways Safety Act
(PWSA), 33 U.S.C. 1226, to allow the Coast Guard to take actions,
including the establishment of security and safety zones, to prevent or
respond to acts of terrorism against individuals, vessels, or public or
commercial structures. The Coast Guard also has authority to establish
security zones pursuant to the Magnuson Act (50 U.S.C. 191 et seq.) and
implementing regulations promulgated by the President in subparts 6.01
and 6.04 of part 6 of title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    In order to address the aforementioned security concerns, and to
take steps to prevent the catastrophic impact that a terrorist attack
against a cruise ship would have on the public interest, the Coast
Guard has established security zones around and under cruise ships
visiting Santa Barbara Harbor, Santa Barbara, California. This security
zone helps the Coast Guard to prevent vessels or persons from engaging
in terrorist actions against cruise ships. The Coast Guard has
determined the establishment of security zones is prudent for cruise
ships because they carry a multitude of passengers.
    Based on experience with security zone enforcement operations, the
Captain of the Port (COTP) Los Angeles--Long Beach has concluded that
these security zones will encompass all navigable waters from the
surface to the sea floor within a 100-yard radius of any cruise ship
which is located within 3 nautical miles of the Santa Barbara Harbor
Breakwater Light (Light List Number 3750; 34-24-17.364 N, 119-41-
16.260W). These security zones are necessary to provide for the safety
of the cruise ship, vessels, and users of the waterway.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard received one comment to the proposed rule. The
comment suggested that Automatic Identification System (AIS) be used to
advertise the location of the security zone. The Coast Guard agrees in
principle with the comment; however, we made no regulatory changes.
While mariners with AIS may be able to locate cruise ships in the Santa
Barbara area, the majority of boaters will be able to locate the cruise
ships visually, due to the small geographic size and depth restrictions
of the harbor. In an effort to keep mariners informed, the Coast Guard
will continue to advertise active security zones via broadcast notice
to mariner.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This 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.
Although this regulation restricts access to a portion of navigable
waters, the effect of this regulation is not significant because:
    (i) The zones only encompass a small portion of the waterway;
    (ii) vessels are able to pass safely around the zones; and
    (iii) vessels may be allowed to enter these zones on a case-by-case
basis with permission of the Captain of the Port

(COTP) Los Angeles--Long Beach, or his designated representative.
    The size of the zone is the minimum necessary to provide adequate
protection for all cruise ships and other vessels operating in the
vicinity of these vessels, adjoining areas, and the public. The
entities most likely to be affected are fishing vessels and pleasure
craft engaged in recreational activities and sightseeing.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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 received 0 comments from the Small Business
administration on this rule. 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. This rule will affect the
following entities, some of which may be small entities: the owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in Santa Barbara
Harbor within a 100-yard radius of cruise ships covered by this rule.
    This security zone regulation will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities because vessel traffic
can pass safely around the zones.
    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.

3. 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 rule. If the rule affects your small
business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    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.

4. 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).

5. Federalism

    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 determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

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

7. 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 does not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule does cause a taking of private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions
and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This 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.

10. Protection of Children

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

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the establishment of security zones.

Thank you for your interest, time, and energy contributing to this workgroup on the important issue of developing the new registration review program. The workgroup's presentation last Wednesday to the full PPDC on the issues and recommendations went very well. Special thanks to Sue Crescenzi, Julie Spagnoli, Therese Murtagh, Patti Bright, and Ray McAllister for their presentations and to OPP's Michael Nieves for pulling together the powerpoint presentation, a copy of which is attached below.

The PPCD showed a high degree of interest in the recommendations by asking a number of questions and discussing the recommendations. OPP's Director, Jim Jones, asked that a workgroup continue to work with OPP as we develop the draft regulations for registration review. The following list is a set of issues or comments by PPDC members following the presentation.

When does registration review begin? Pesticides can be grouped if they share a common database What's the timeframe for a registration review; timeframes need to be realistic for the program to succeed; keeping a pesticide's science and regulatory requirements current will facilitate the process; and OPP needs to decide organizationally where this program will be performed within OPP What will be the resource requirements Need to deal with specific risk issues during or outside of registration review, depending on the timing of these issues relative to the review schedule Could bring this issue to CARAT as well.

OPP will have some followup meetings to decide the next steps for moving forward and we'll be in contact with you then.

Thanks again for your efforts to identify and develop your recommendations for the PPDC presentation. A copy of this note will be included in the e docket for PPDC.

Betty Shackleford and Jay Ellenberger
