costs since it provides additional relief to enable operators to
continue to use pilots and other crewmembers in support of essential
operations. As a result, this rule will reduce disruption to the
continuity of essential services in response to the COVID-19 public
health emergency. This rule also provides extended relief from certain
duration and renewal requirements to reduce unnecessary risk of
exposure and to assure persons that they will not endure economic
burdens due to non-compliance with certain regulations.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), in 5 U.S.C. 603, requires an
agency to prepare an initial regulatory flexibility analysis describing
impacts on small entities whenever an agency is required by 5 U.S.C.
553, or any other law, to publish a general notice of proposed
rulemaking for any proposed rule. Similarly, 5 U.S.C. 604 requires an
agency to prepare a final regulatory flexibility analysis when an
agency issues a final rule under 5 U.S.C. 553, after being required by
that section or

any other law to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking. The
FAA found good cause to forgo notice and comment and any delay in the
effective date for this rule. As notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 553
are not required in this situation, the regulatory flexibility analyses
described in 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 are not required.

C. International Trade Impact Assessment

    The Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-39) prohibits Federal
agencies from establishing standards or engaging in related activities
that create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign commerce of the United
States. Pursuant to this Act, the establishment of standards is not
considered an unnecessary obstacle to the foreign commerce of the
United States, so long as the standard has a legitimate domestic
objective, such as the protection of safety, and does not operate in a
manner that excludes imports that meet this objective. The statute also
requires consideration of international standards and, where
appropriate, that they be the basis for U.S. standards.
    The FAA has assessed the potential effect of this final rule and
determined that its purpose has a legitimate domestic objective to
promote the continuity and safety of U.S. civil aviation from risks of
the COVID-19 public health emergency while supporting essential
services necessary to fight the public health emergency. Therefore, the
FAA has determined this final rule complies with the Trade Agreements
Act of 1979.

D. Unfunded Mandates Assessment

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-
4) requires each Federal agency to prepare a written statement
assessing the effects of any Federal mandate in a proposed or final
agency rule that may result in an expenditure of $100 million or more
(in 1995 dollars) in any one year by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector; such a mandate
is deemed to be a ``significant regulatory action.'' The FAA currently
uses an inflation-adjusted value of $155 million in lieu of $100
million.
    This final rule does not contain such a mandate. Therefore, the
requirements of Title II of the Act do not apply.

E. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) requires
that the FAA consider the impact of paperwork and other information
collection burdens imposed on the public.
    As previously discussed, to utilize the temporary relief provided
by this SFAR amendment, an affected certificate holder or a part 125
LODA holder must provide a plan to its assigned FAA principal
operations inspector. The plan is to contain a safety analysis and
corresponding risk mitigations and methods to ensure that each
crewmember remains adequately tested and currently proficient for each
aircraft, duty position, and type of operation in which the person
serves.
    While SFAR 118-1 provided relief in the form of a grace period for
those entities whose base month for completing the recurrent testing,
checking, and training requirements was March through September 2020,
this final rule extends the grace period to those whose base month
falls in October 2020 through January 2021. A part 125 certificate
holder or A125 LODA holder will, therefore, be required to submit a new
or revised mitigation plan to take advantage of the relief provided in
this amendment.
    In SFAR 118-1, the FAA estimated that of the 69 part 125
certificate holders and A125 LODA holders, all would avail themselves
of the relief provided by SFAR 118-1, and therefore would be required
to provide mitigation plans to their assigned principal operations
inspector. This action was in addition to the plans submitted for the
original SFAR 118 by all 69 part 125 certificate holders and A125 LODA
holders. For this final rule, the FAA estimates that those same 69 part
125 certificate holders and A125 LODA holders will avail themselves of
the extended grace period for those entities whose base month falls in
October 2020 through January 2021 and will submit new or revised
mitigation plans. The FAA continues to estimate that each respondent
would spend two hours preparing and submitting its plan, for a total of
138 hours. The FAA believes the additional paperwork burden would be
borne by the director of operations. At $51 per hour multiplied by 138
total hours, the FAA estimates the total burden to part 125 certificate
holders and A125 LODA holders for this amendment to be $7,038.\58\
Therefore, the total burden of this collection is estimated to be
$21,114.\59\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \58\ The FAA is using the BLS wage rate for commercial pilots of
$39.54 per hour (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/transportation-and-material-moving/airline-and-commercial-pilots.htm) ($82,240/2080
hours = $39.54) multiplied by a fringe benefit multiplier of 29.9
percent (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) which
results in an hourly wage of $51.
    \59\ The burden for the original plan submission from SFAR 118
and the revised plan submission from SFAR 118-1 was $14,076. That is
added to the amendment burden for new or revised plan submissions of
$7,038 for a total of $21,114.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates that it would require an Aviation Safety
Inspector (ASI) one hour to review and analyze a plan submitted by a
part 125 certificate holder or A125 LODA holder. With 69 part 125
certificate holders or A125 LODA holders estimated to have submitted a
plan to take advantage of the relief in SFAR 118, and the same 69 part
125 certificate holders and A125 LODA holders estimated to have
submitted a new or revised plan for SFAR 118-1, and the same 69 part
125 certificate holders and A125 LODA holders are expected to submit a
new or revised plan for this amendment, the total number of plans for
review by an ASI is 207. The total number of plans to review multiplied
by the hourly wage of a GS-13 FAA ASI results in an estimated burden to
the FAA of $20,580 (207 responses x 1 hour x $99.42 = $20,580).\60\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \60\ The FAA assumes a mid-grade GS-13 salary, Rest of USA
locality. Annual salary is $103,396 (https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2020/RUS.pdf) divided by 2,080 hours for an hourly rate of $49.70. The
FAA uses a fringe benefits and overhead cost, for FAA employees, of
100%, which results in a fully loaded wage of $99.42 per hour. The
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, ``Guidelines for
Regulatory Impact Analysis'' (2016), on page 30, HHS states, ``As an
interim default, while HHS conducts more research, analysts should
assume overhead costs (including benefits) are equal to 100 percent
of pretax wages . . .'' (https://aspe.hhs.gov/system/files/pdf/242926/HHS_RIAGuidance.pdf).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As provided under 5 CFR 1320.13, Emergency Processing, and the
Paperwork Reduction Act and its implementing regulations, DOT requested
emergency processing to amend the temporary collection of information
previously approved under emergency processing with the original SFAR
(OMB 2120-0788). DOT could not reasonably comply with normal clearance
procedures because the information is necessary to provide temporary
relief to persons who have been unable to meet certain requirements
during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Without this information,
certain individuals will not be able to continue exercising privileges
in support of essential operations due to their inability to satisfy
certain training, recent experience, testing, and checking
requirements. The use of normal clearance procedures would have
resulted in increased economic burden, disruption to critical aviation
operations, and increased risk of exposure during this public health
emergency. Due to the pressing considerations associated with the

COVID-19 public health emergency, it was not practicable to afford
ninety days of public comment on this collection of information.
Therefore, the FAA requested OMB approval of this temporary collection
of information. OMB approved the FAA's emergency clearance request
through March 31, 2021.

F. International Compatibility

    In keeping with U.S. obligations under the Convention on
International Civil Aviation, it is FAA policy to conform to
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and
Recommended Practices (SARPs) to the maximum extent practicable. On
April 3, 2020, ICAO issued a State Letter (AN 11/55-20/50) to address
operational measures States are taking to ensure safe operations during
the COVID-19 public health emergency. ICAO recognized the varying needs
of the States to provide relief and encouraged States to be flexible in
their approaches for relief while also adhering to their obligations
under the Convention on International Civil Aviation. During this
period of relief, ICAO is paying particular attention to the SARPs
related to certificates and licenses. ICAO has established a process
for States to file temporary differences through a COVID-19
Contingency-Related Differences (CCRDs) sub-system, which is accessible
through ICAO's Continuous Monitoring Approach (CMA) Online Framework of
Electronic Filing of Differences (EFOD) dashboard that States use
normally to file differences related to the Annexes. When States are
submitting their differences, ICAO is requiring the State also to
indicate whether it will recognize the differences of other States. FAA
has already filed temporary differences with some of the relief it has
given through exemptions under 14 CFR part 11 and has indicated it will
recognize other States' differences unless the FAA deems safety is
being compromised. ICAO tentatively plans to maintain the CCRD sub-
system through March 31, 2021.
    The FAA has reviewed the corresponding ICAO SARPs and has
identified the following differences with these proposed regulations.
In Annex 1, section <IP_ADDRESS>.1, a medical assessment can be extended at
the FAA's discretion up to 45 days. With this final rule, the FAA is
extending the validity by two calendar months for pilots with expiring
medicals between October 2020 and January 2021, with the exception of
pilots and flight engineers who reside in Alaska or serve as a pilot or
flight engineer in an aircraft in Alaska (for whom the FAA is extending
the validity by three months). As a result, the FAA will update the
temporary difference filed with ICAO.
    In Annex 6, Part 2, Section <IP_ADDRESS>, a PIC is required to have made
three takeoffs and landings within the preceding ninety days on the
same type of airplane or in a flight simulator prior to serving as a
PIC in that airplane. With this final rule, the FAA is extending the
look-back period by 30 days for PICs conducting operations under part
125. As a result, the FAA will update the temporary difference filed
with ICAO.
    In Annex 6, Part 2, Section <IP_ADDRESS>, an SIC is required to have
made three takeoffs and landings within the preceding ninety days on
the same type of airplane or in a flight simulator prior to serving as
a SIC in that airplane. With this final rule, the FAA is extending the
look-back period by 30 days for SICs conducting operations under part
125. As a result, the FAA will update the temporary difference filed
with ICAO.
    Apart from this SFAR's application within the United States,
certificate holders or operators may dispatch or release flights, and
pilots and crewmembers may operate outside of the United States under
this SFAR, unless otherwise prohibited by a foreign country. For
international operations where pilots and crewmembers will exercise the
relief identified here, they must have access to this SFAR when outside
the United States. In accordance with the Convention on International
Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), and its Annexes, pilots and
crewmembers must present a copy of this SFAR for inspection upon
request by a foreign civil aviation authority.

V. Executive Order Determinations

A. Executive Order 12114, Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal
Actions

    The FAA has analyzed this action under Executive Order 12114,
Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions (44 FR 1957,
January 4, 1979), and DOT Order 5610.1C, Paragraph 16. Executive Order
12114 requires the FAA to be informed of environmental considerations
and take those considerations into account when making decisions on
major Federal actions that could have environmental impacts anywhere
beyond the borders of the United States. Like SFAR 118, the FAA has
determined that this action is exempt pursuant to Section 2-5(a)(i) of
Executive Order 12114 because it does not have the potential for a
significant effect on the environment outside the United States.
    In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 8-6(c), the FAA has prepared a
memorandum for the record stating the reason(s) for this determination
and has placed it in the docket for SFAR 118 (the same docket for this
rulemaking). The FAA reviewed the memorandum it added to the docket to
support SFAR 118 and finds the determination applies to this rule
unchanged.

B. Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    The FAA has analyzed this final rule under the principles and
criteria of Executive Order 13132, Federalism. The agency determined
that this action will not have a substantial direct effect on the
States, or the relationship between the Federal Government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government, and, therefore, does not have federalism
implications.

C. Executive Order 13211, Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    The FAA analyzed this final rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (May 18, 2001). The agency has determined that it
is not a ``significant energy action'' under the Executive order and it
is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy.

D. Executive Order 13609, Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation

    Executive Order 13609, Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation, promotes international regulatory cooperation to meet
shared challenges involving health, safety, labor, security,
environmental, and other issues and to reduce, eliminate, or prevent
unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements. As described in
Section IV. F., International Compatibility, the FAA is working with
ICAO and other foreign Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) on the kind of
relief provided by this SFAR. The FAA has analyzed this action under
the policies and agency responsibilities of Executive Order 13609, and
has determined that this action would have no effect on international
regulatory cooperation. The provisions in this final rule provide
temporary relief to persons who are unable to meet certain requirements
during the COVID-19 public health emergency and prevents persons from
encountering situations that would unnecessarily increase the risk of

transmission of the virus through personal contact.

F. Executive Order 13771, Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs

    This rule is not an E.O. 13771 regulatory action because this rule
is not significant under E.O. 12866.

[CGD09-07-016]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Marine City Maritime Festival Fireworks, St. Clair
River, Marine City, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
St. Clair River, Marine City, Michigan. This safety zone is intended to
restrict vessels from portions of the St. Clair River during the Marine
City Maritime Festival Fireworks Display. This temporary safety zone is
necessary to protect spectators and vessels from the hazards associated
with fireworks displays.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9:30 p.m. on September 22, 2007 to
11:30 p.m. on September 23, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as
documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket,
are part of docket CGD09-07-016 and are available for inspection or
copying at: U.S. Coast Guard Sector Detroit, 110 Mt. Elliot Ave.,
Detroit, MI 48207 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On June 15, 2007, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Safety Zone; Marine City Maritime Festival Fireworks,
St. Clair River, Marine City, MI, in the Federal Register (72 FR 33184)
and received no comments on the proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good cause exists for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
Delaying this rule would be contrary to the public interest of ensuring
the safety of spectators and vessels during this event and immediate
action is necessary to prevent possible loss of life or property.

Background and Purpose

    This temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and spectators from hazards associated with a fireworks
display. Based on accidents that have occurred in other Captain of the
Port zones and the explosive hazards of fireworks, the Captain of the
Port Detroit has determined fireworks launches in close proximity to
watercraft pose significant risk to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of recreation vessels, congested
waterways, darkness punctuated by bright flashes of light, alcohol use,
and debris falling into the water could easily result in serious
injuries or fatalities. Establishing a safety zone to control vessel
movement around the location of the launch platform will help ensure
the safety of persons and property at these events and help minimize
the associated risks.

Discussion of Comments

    There were no comments received with regards to this rule.

Discussion of Rule

    A temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
spectators and vessels during the setup, loading and launching of a
fireworks display in conjunction with the Marine City Maritime Festival
Fireworks display. The fireworks display will occur between 9:30 p.m.
and 11:30 p.m., September 22, 2007. If this event does not take place
at the scheduled time and date due to adverse weather, the fireworks
display will occur between 9:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., September 23,
2007.
    The safety zone for the fireworks will encompass all waters of the
St. Clair River enclosed by a line connecting the following points: 42-
42-51.5N/082-29-13.97W; 42-43-07.55N/082-29-08.12W; 42-43-04.93N/082-
28-54.11W; 42-42-48.58N/082-29-00.81W. This safety zone is located in
the St. Clair River, east of the lighthouse in Marine City, MI, near
the center of the river. (DATUM: NAD 83).
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the on-scene representative. Entry
into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Detroit or his on-scene
representative. The Captain of the Port or his on-scene representative
may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

Regulatory Evaluation

    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. It is not ``significant'' under the
regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
    This determination is based on the minimal time that vessels will
be restricted from the safety zone and the safety zone is an area where
the Coast Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners from
the safety zone's activation.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this 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 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 a portion of the St. Clair River from 9:30 p.m. to 11:30
p.m. on September 22, 2007. If this event does not take place at the
scheduled time and date due to adverse weather, this rule will affect
the owners or operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in a
portion of the St. Clair River from 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on
September 23, 2007.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will be in effect for only 2 hours; vessel traffic can pass safely
around the safety zone; and in the event that this temporary safety
zone affects shipping, commercial vessels may request permission from
the Captain of the Port Detroit to transit through the safety zone. The
Coast Guard will give notice to the public via a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners that the regulation is in effect.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offered to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they could better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. 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.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls 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 rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism. There were no comments received for this section.

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 or more in any
one year. Though this rule will not result in such expenditure, we do
discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. There were
no comments received for this section.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights. There were no comments received for this section.

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. There were no comments received
for this section.

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. There were no comments received for
this section.

Indian Tribal Governments

    The Coast Guard recognizes the treaty rights of Native American
Tribes. Moreover, the Coast Guard is committed to working with Tribal
Governments to implement local policies and to mitigate tribal
concerns. We have determined that these special local regulations and
fishing rights protection need not be incompatible. We have also
determined that 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.
Nevertheless, Indian Tribes that have questions concerning the
provisions of this rule or options for compliance are encourage to
contact the point of contact listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT. There were no comments received for this section.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this 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. There were no comments received for this
section.

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 rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. There were no
comments received for this section.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD
and Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 5100.1, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that there are no factors in this case that would limit the use of a
categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the Instruction.

Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction, from further environmental
documentation.
    A final ``Environmental Analysis Check List'' and a final
``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
