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

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

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

1. Purpose
    FINRA is proposing to amend FINRA Rule 9620 (Decision) permit [sic]
FINRA staff to serve by an electronic method written decisions on
members seeking exemptive relief from FINRA's qualification examination
requirements.
    The NASD Rule 1000 Series specifies, among other things,
registration and qualification requirements for registered
representatives and principals associated with firms. NASD Rule 1070(d)
authorizes FINRA, pursuant to the FINRA Rule 9600 Series, in
exceptional cases and where good cause is shown, to waive qualification
examinations (as specified in the NASD Rule 1000 Series) and accept
other standards as evidence of an applicant's qualification for
registration. Under the FINRA Rule 9600 Series, an initial application
for relief under any FINRA rule for which exemptive relief may be
granted, including qualification examination waivers under NASD Rule
1070 (Qualification Examinations and Waiver of Requirements), is filed
with the appropriate department or staff.
    All applications for qualification examination waivers under NASD
Rule 1070 are filed by a member. As of January 16, 2009, members have
been required to submit all applications for qualification examination
waivers to FINRA's Department of Member Regulation (``Department'')
through the Firm Gateway, a comprehensive web-based tool that provides
members with consolidated access to FINRA regulatory and filing
applications.\3\ Each member has a Firm Gateway account and an account
administrator who can apply for a qualification examination waiver
electronically or can give entitlement privileges to other firm
personnel to file the application electronically. In connection with
each qualification examination waiver application, the member
contemporaneously provides, among other things, an email address for a
contact person at the firm. Once submitted, the Department examines the
merits of the application, determines what action to take, and issues a
decision to the applicant that grants or denies the application.
Currently, the Department serves the decision on the applicant by U.S.
mail in accordance with FINRA Rules 9132 (Service of Orders, Notices,
and Decisions by Adjudicator) and 9134 (Methods of, Procedures for
Service).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Regulatory Notice 08-67 (November 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA proposes that the Department use the examination-waiver email
address provided by the applicant in Firm Gateway to serve
electronically a written decision on the FINRA member seeking exemptive
relief from a FINRA qualification examination. Serving written
decisions electronically on applicants would allow the Department to
issue decisions and allow the applicants to receive the decision more
expeditiously. It also would reduce FINRA's costs because of
inefficiencies and expenses associated with printing and mailing hard
copies of written decisions and scanning hard copies of written
decisions for electronic storage. In the event that the Department is
unable to serve electronically a decision on a particular applicant
because the email address provided by the applicant is no longer valid,
the Department would serve the decision on the applicant by U.S. mail
in accordance with FINRA Rules 9132 and 9134.
    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The implementation date of the proposed rule change will
be August 18, 2014. FINRA will announce the implementation date of the
proposed rule change no later than 60 days following Commission notice
of the filing of the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\4\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes the proposed rule change will promote
efficiency because it will enable members seeking relief under NASD
Rule 1070 to receive more expeditiously a written decision regarding an
associated person's request to waive a qualification examination. It is
in the public interest, and consistent with the Act's purpose, that
decisions concerning an associated person's qualifications for
registration are timely resolved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change would
not change for any member the process of submitting electronically a
qualification examination waiver application through Firm Gateway. The
proposed rule change only would change the method of serving the
decision on applicants seeking a qualification examination waiver.
FINRA believes the proposed rule change would promote efficiency
because qualification examination waiver applicants would receive
decisions more expeditiously. FINRA further believes that members would
not be adversely affected because, in the unlikely circumstance that
the Department is unable to serve electronically a decision on the
applicant because the email address provided by the applicant is no
longer valid, the Department would serve the decision on the applicant
in accordance with FINRA Rules 9132 and 9134.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \5\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
FINRA has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

Safety Zone, Marine Week Seattle Seahawks Demonstration, Lake
Washington; Seattle, WA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone for the Marine
Week Seattle Seahawks Demonstration area on Lake Washington, Seattle,
WA. This event will occur on July 30, 2014 and July 31, 2014. This
action is necessary to protect participants and the maritime public
from the safety hazards associated with this event, which involves low
flying aircraft, combat equipment, and other on-water displays, and
will do so by prohibiting any person or vessel from entering or
remaining in the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port (COTP) or a Designated Representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from July 30, 2014 through July 31, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble are part of docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

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

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.''
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule because to do so would be impracticable due to the
insufficient time available for notice and opportunity to comment prior
to the dates of the actual event and the inability for the event to be
rescheduled.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delayed promulgation would
eliminate the safety zone's effectiveness and usefulness in protecting
event participants and the maritime public during the scheduled event.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46
U.S.C. Chapters 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1,
6.04-1, 6.04-6 and 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1 which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define and establish
regulatory safety zones.
    The Marine Corps will be conducting an aerial and on-water
demonstration in support of Marine Week. The event involves low flying
aircraft, combat equipment, and other on-water displays, which will
take place immediately offshore from the Seattle Seahawks training
facility on Lake Washington, Seattle, WA. The safety zone is necessary
to protect event participants and the maritime public from the safety
hazards associated with this event.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone on all waters
encompassed by the following points: 47[deg]32'19'' N, 122[deg]12'14''
W, thence southeasterly to 47[deg]32'11'' N, 122[deg]11'56'' W, thence
southwesterly along the shoreline to 47[deg]31'58'' N, 122[deg]12'11''
W, thence northwesterly to 47[deg]32'01'' N, 122[deg]12'29'' W, thence
northeasterly back to the point of origin.
    Vessels wishing to enter the safety zone must request permission
for entry by contacting the Joint Harbor Operations Center at (206)
217-6175, or the on-scene patrol craft via VHF-FM Ch 13. If permission
for entry is granted vessels must proceed at a minimum speed for safe
navigation.

D. 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 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, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. This rule is not a
significant regulatory action because it creates a safety zone that is
minimal in size and short in duration.

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 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 through the established safety zones during the
times of enforcement. This rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities because the temporary
safety zone is minimal in size and short in duration, maritime traffic
will be able to transit around it and may be permitted to transit them
with the permission from the Captain of the Port or a Designated
Representative.

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

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 From Environmental Health Risks

    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 would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
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 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.

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 a temporary safety
zone. This rule is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical
Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.

Records Governing Off-the-Record Communications; Public Notice

May 28, 2009.
    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of
the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission
decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-
the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested
proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of
the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any
oral communication.
    Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional
file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the
proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited
communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or
contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication, and may
request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and
responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant
such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e)(1)(v).
    The following is a list of off-the-record communications recently
