October 15, 2008; ozone on March 12, 2008; and nitrogen dioxide
(NO2) on January 22, 2010. EPA is also approving SIP
revisions the State submitted updating the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) program and provisions regarding state boards.
Section 110(a) of the CAA requires that each state submit a SIP for the
implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated
by EPA.

DATES: This rule is effective on March 2, 2015.

I. Background

    Infrastructure requirements for SIPs are provided in section
110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA. Section 110(a)(2) lists the specific
infrastructure elements that a SIP must contain or satisfy. The
elements that are the subject of this action are described in detail in
our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) published on December 1, 2014
(79 FR 71040).
    The NPR proposed approval of South Dakota's submissions with
respect to the following infrastructure elements for the 1997 and 2006
PM2.5, 2008 Pb, 2008 ozone, and 2010
NO2 NAAQS: CAA 110(a)(2) (A), (B), (C) with respect to minor
new source review (NSR) and PSD requirements, (D)(i)(II) prongs 3 and
4, (D)(ii), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L), and (M). The reasons for
our approval are provided in detail in the NPR.
    For reasons explained in the NPR, EPA also proposed to approve
revisions to the Administrative Rules of South Dakota (ARSD) 74:36:09
submitted on July 29, 2013, which incorporate by reference the
requirements of EPA's September 29, 2010 PM2.5 Increment
Rule. Specifically, we proposed to approve the adoption of the text of
40 CFR 52.21, paragraphs (b)(14)(i),(ii),(iii), (b)(15)(i),(ii), and
paragraph (c) as they existed on July 1, 2012 by approving revisions
to: ARSD 74:34:09:02

(Prevention of significant deterioration) and 74:36:09:03 (Public
participation).
    For reasons explained in the NPR, EPA proposed approval of
revisions to ARSD 74:09 and the South Dakota Codified Laws (SDCL) 1-40-
25.1 submitted on June 11, 2014 to satisfy requirements of element
(E)(ii), state boards. Finally, EPA proposed approval of D(i)(I) prongs
1 and 2 for the 2006 PM2.5, 2008 Pb, and 2010 NO2
NAAQS. EPA will act separately on infrastructure element (D)(i)(I),
interstate transport for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.

II. Response to Comments

    No comments were received on our December 1, 2014 NPR.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the following infrastructure elements for the 1997
and 2006 PM2.5, 2008 Pb, 2008 ozone, and 2010 NO2
NAAQS: CAA 110(a)(2) (A), (B), (C) with respect to minor NSR and PSD
requirements, (D)(i)(II) prongs 3 and 4, (D)(ii), (E), (F), (G), (H),
(J), (K), (L), and (M). EPA is also approving revisions to ARSD
74:36:09 submitted on July 29, 2013, which incorporate by reference the
requirements of EPA's September 29, 2010 PM2.5 Increment
Rule. Specifically, we are approving the adoption of the text of 40 CFR
52.21, paragraphs (b)(14)(i),(ii),(iii), (b)(15)(i),(ii), and paragraph
(c) as they existed on July 1, 2012 by approving revisions to: ARSD
74:36:09:02 (Prevention of significant deterioration) and 74:36:09:03
(Public participation). EPA is also approving revisions to ARSD 74:09
and SDCL 1-40-25.1 submitted on June 11, 2014 to satisfy requirements
of element (E)(ii), state boards. Finally, EPA is approving D(i)(I)
prongs 1 and 2 for the 2006 PM2.5, 2008 Pb, and 2010
NO2 NAAQS. EPA will act separately on infrastructure element
(D)(i)(I), interstate transport for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations (42 U.S.C. 7410(k), 40 CFR 52.02(a)). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves some state law as meeting Federal requirements
and disapproves other state law because it does not meet federal
requirements; this action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, Aug. 10, 1999); is not an
economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety
risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and,
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, Feb. 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, Nov. 9, 2000), because
the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the
state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs
on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by March 30, 2015. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See CAA section 307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2020-0076]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on September 18, 2020, BNSF
Railway Company (BNSF) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal
railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 213, Track Safety
Standards. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2020-0076.
    Specifically, BNSF requests a waiver of compliance from 49 CFR
213.113, Defective rails, to permit an alternate means of affecting the
remedial actions set forth in remedial action code C (49 CFR
213.113(c)). BNSF proposes that following the application of joint bars
in accordance with remedial action code C, the track segment be
operated as follows:
     Trains may continue to run at the maximum allowable speed
for the track class until a maximum of 15 million gross tons (MGT) have
traversed the track segment;
     after 15 MGT have traversed the segment, operating speed
will be reduced to 50 miles per hour (mph) thereafter until the
defective rail is replaced; and
     if the rail defect progresses to a 100% fracture,
operating speed will be reduced to 10 mph thereafter until the
defective rail is replaced.
    BNSF states that the relief will promote railroad safety by
allowing rail inspection vehicles to maintain ideal inspection
frequencies, which will ensure that BNSF track will be inspected more
frequently and defects remedied and repaired more quickly.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested parties
desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Website: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.

    Communications received by November 13, 2020 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications and comments received into any of
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a 2-year period
if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption.'' FMCSA can renew exemptions at the end of each
2-year period. The 34 individuals listed in this notice have each
requested such an exemption from the vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce.
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting an exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP16-12-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review of the Southwest Louisiana Supply Project

    On October 26, 2015, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC
(Tennessee) filed an application in Docket No. CP16-12-000 requesting a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural
gas pipeline facilities located in Franklin, Rapides, Richland, and
Madison Parishes, Louisiana. The proposed project is known as the
Southwest Louisiana Supply Project (Project), and would provide 295,000
dekatherms per day of incremental capacity to serve Mitsubishi
Corporation and MMGS, Inc.
    On November 9, 2015, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA--September 29, 2016
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--December 28, 2016

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    Tennessee proposes to construct a 2.4-mile-long, 30-inch-diameter
pipeline lateral in Madison Parish, Louisiana; a 1.4-mile-long, 30-
inch-diameter pipeline lateral in Richland and Franklin Parishes,
Louisiana; five meter stations to allow Tennessee to receive gas on its
existing 800 Line from five interconnecting pipelines; one new
compressor station in Franklin Parish, Louisiana; and replace a gas
turbine engine at an existing compressor station in Rapides Parish,
Louisiana.

Background

    On December 9, 2015, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Southwest
Louisiana Supply Project and Request for Comments on Environmental
Issues (NOI). The NOI was sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested
parties; and local libraries and newspapers. In response to the NOI,
the Commission received recommendations from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers; the State of Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries,
Office of Wildlife; the State of Louisiana Department of Culture,
Recreation & Tourism, Office of Cultural Development; and the Choctaw
Nation of Oklahoma. The primary issues raised by the commenters are
recommendations on avoiding impacts on cultural resources, wildlife,
and wetlands.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The standardized curriculum concept for
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 135 training
provided by part 142 training centers is a voluntary approach to
training. Additional information about standardized curricula is
available in Advisory Circular (AC) 142-1, Standardized Curricula
Delivered by Part 142 Training Centers.

Background

    The FAA tasked the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) in
March 2020, which was further designated to the Training
Standardization Working Group (TSWG), with providing advice and
recommendations to the ARAC on the most effective ways to achieve
standardization (where appropriate) and significant administrative
efficiency in check pilot qualification, flight instructor
qualification, and part 135 air carrier training curricula delivered by
part 142 training centers, known as the Standardized Curriculum
Concept. TSWG membership includes representatives from training
centers, aircraft manufacturers, operators, and aviation industry
organizations.
    Standardized curricula will provide a common method for quality
training accessible to any certificate holder that obtains approval to
use the curriculum in its FAA-approved training program. The
Standardized Curriculum Concept aims to provide an efficient means to
approve training curricula offered by part 142 training centers while
increasing the consistency of training, testing, and checking delivered
to part 135 operators. The use of standardized curricula is strictly
voluntary and is one means to comply with the applicable regulatory
requirements of parts 135 and 142. The standardized curriculum does not
modify existing regulatory requirements for pilot training or
qualification.
    One of the tasks to the ARAC included the following:
     Development of a master schedule that lists the priority
of aircraft or series of aircraft for standardized curriculum
development.
    In order to determine a prioritized list of aircraft for which a
standardized curriculum would be appropriate, the working group
reviewed training data from centers that represent approximately 80% of
air carrier training events. The TSWG chose this methodology to provide
a valid sampling of training centers and preferred aircraft training
platforms. The group reviewed the aircraft-specific data and ranked the
highest density training events to the lowest. This approach ensured
the aircraft priority matched industry demand.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites public comments on the TSWG proposed Standardized
Curricula for Part 135 Delivered by Part 142 Training Centers, Aircraft
Master Schedule. The FAA will consider the public comments submitted
during this

comment period in finalizing the Aircraft Master Schedule.

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0838]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones, Hurricane Lane Port Closures for Hawaiian Islands

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing 9 temporary safety zones
encompassing Hawaii's commercial

harbors to include Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point and
Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kahului,
Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. These temporary
safety zones are necessary to protect the harbors from the potential
impacts of Hurricane Lane and when enforced functionally close the port
to commercial vessel traffic and require the evacuation of vessels in
accordance with the Coast Guard Sector Honolulu Heavy Weather and
Hurricane Plan.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from August 28,
2018 until August 29, 2018. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from August 22, 2018, until August 28, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Honolulu
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 due to the imminent approach of Hurricane
Lane and its potential impacts to the island of Hawaii. Closing the
ports and ordering evacuation of vessels over 200 gross tons is in
accordance with Coast Guard Sector Honolulu's Maritime Heavy Weather
and Hurricane Plan. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because of
the rapid escalation of the tropical storm to hurricane status and the
imminent threat posed.
    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. Delaying the effective date would
be contrary to the rule's objectives of enhancing safety of life on the
navigable waters and protection of persons and vessels due to the
imminent threat of the approaching hurricane.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Honolulu (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with Hurricane Lane constitute a safety
concern for all commercial harbors in Hawaii. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, maritime commercial facilities, and the
marine environment in the navigable waters of Nawiliwili and Port
Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai,
Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the
Island of Hawaii. This temporary rulemaking implements the closure of
the port and evacuation of vessels called for in the Coast Guard Sector
Honolulu Heavy Weather & Hurricane Plan. Consistent with the Plan, the
Captain of the Port finds sufficient indications that the approaching
Hurricane Lane poses considerable safety concerns, creating the need
for these safety zones.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes nine safety zones encompassing Hawaii's 9
commercial harbors; Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point
and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai;
Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. The Coast
Guard is closing all commercial harbors to vessels over 200 gross tons,
in accordance with the Coast Guard Sector Honolulu's Heavy Weather &
Hurricane Plan and requires the evacuation of all vessels over 200
gross tons. Notice of actual port closure times will be given to the
maritime community via marine safety information bulletins and
broadcast notice to mariners. All vessels unable to comply with this
safety zone and seeking to remain in port, must submit a request to
remain in port detailing vessel specifics and a mooring plan for
approval from the Captain of the Port. Vessels are not authorized to
enter or remain in port without the specific authorization of the COTP
Honolulu. The harbors will remain closed until the Coast Guard issues
an ``All Clear'' for the harbor after the storm passes and a survey of
the Harbor for potential hazards is completed by the Coast Guard.

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 anticipated
short duration of the storm and protection of personnel, vessels,
maritime commercial facilities, and the marine environment from
potential impacts of Hurricane Lane. Moreover, the Coast Guard will
issue marine safety information bulletins and broadcast notice to
mariners on marine channel 16 about the safety zones and the rule
allows vessels to seek permission to enter the safety zones.

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 zones may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A. above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
any vessel owner or operator. This rule may affect the following small
entities: The owners or operations of vessels intending to transit,
anchor, or moor within nine safety zones encompassing Hawaii's 9
commercial harbors; Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point
and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai;
Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii between
August 22, 2018 and August 29, 2018. Upon passing of the hurricane and
verification of the safety of the waterways, all vessels will be
allowed to reenter or exit the commercial ports of Hawaii as soon as
reasonably expected and safe to allow.
    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
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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

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 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, 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
safety zones lasting 7 days that will prohibit entry into 9 Hawaii
commercial harbors; Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point
and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai;
Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(c) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A
Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination
will be made available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
is authorized in Public Law 90-448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law
93-234 (1973), and is codified as 42 U.S.C. 4001, et sec. Public Law
103-325 (1994) expands upon this and provides federally supported flood
insurance for existing buildings exposed to flood risk. In accordance
with Public Law 93-234, the purchase of flood insurance is mandatory
when Federal or federally related financial assistance is being
provided for acquisition or flood hazard areas of communities that are
participating in the program.
    The Mortgage Portfolio Protection program (MPPP) is an option that
companies participating in the NFIP can use to bring their mortgage
loan portfolios into compliance with the flood insurance purchase
requirements of the three public laws described above. Section
62.23(l)(1) of Title 44 of the Code of Regulations (CFR), with 44 CFR
Appendix A to Part 62 implements the MPPP requirements for specific
notices and other procedures that must be adhered to. Insurance
companies applying for or renewing their participation in the Write
Your Own (WYO) program must indicate that they will adhere to the
requirements of the MPPP if they are electing to voluntarily
participate in the MPPP. Per 44 CFR 62.23(l)(2), WYO companies
participating in the MPPP must provide a detailed implementation
package, known as the Mortgage Portfolio Protection Program Agreement,
to the lending companies who are requesting insurance coverage and the
lender must acknowledge receipt.
