DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2016-0131]

Reports, Forms and Record Keeping Requirements

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed extension, without change, of a currently
approved collection of information.

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

SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from
the public, the agency must receive approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before
seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on
proposed collections of information, including extensions and
reinstatements of previously approved collections. In compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice describes one
collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval,
relating to confidential business information.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before February 27, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments to the docket number identified in
the heading of this document by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.

April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions contact Thomas Healy in
the Office of the Chief Counsel at the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulations (at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
    (iv) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comment on the following extension of clearance for a currently
approved collection of information:

Confidential Business Information

    Type of Request--Extension of clearance.
    OMB Clearance Number--2127-0025
    Form Number--This collection of information uses no standard forms.
    Requested Expiration Date of Approval--Three (3) years from the
date of approval of the collection.
    Summary of the Collection of Information--Persons who submit
information to the agency and seek to have the agency withhold some or
all of that information from disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act (``FOIA''), 5 U.S.C. 552, must provide the agency with
sufficient support that justifies the confidential treatment of that
information. In addition, a request for confidential treatment must be
accompanied by: (1) A complete copy of the submission; (2) a copy of
the submission containing only those portions for which confidentiality
is not sought with the confidential portions redacted; and (3) either a
second complete copy of the submission or alternatively those portions
of the submission that contain the information for which
confidentiality is sought. Furthermore, the requestor must submit a
completed certification as provided in 49 CFR part 512, Appendix A. See
generally 49 CFR part 512 (NHTSA Confidential Business Information
regulations).
    Part 512 ensures that information submitted under a claim of
confidentiality is properly evaluated in an efficient manner under
prevailing legal standards and, where appropriate, accorded
confidential treatment. To facilitate the evaluation process, in their
requests for confidential treatment, submitters of information may make
reference to certain limited classes of information that are
presumptively treated as confidential, such as blueprints and
engineering drawings, future specific model plans (under limited
conditions), and future vehicle production or sales figures for
specific models (under limited conditions). Further, most early warning
reporting (EWR) data are confidential under class determinations
provided in 49 CFR part 512, with the exception of information on
death, injury, and property damage claims and notices, which would be
handled on an individual basis according to the procedures of part 512
and are, therefore, covered by this notice. 72 FR 59434 (Oct. 19,
2007).
    Description of the Need for the Information and Use of the
Information--NHTSA receives confidential information for use in its
activities, which include investigations, rulemaking actions, program
planning and management, and program evaluation. The information is
needed to ensure the agency has sufficient relevant information for
decision-making in connection with these activities. Some of this
information is submitted voluntarily, as in rulemaking, and some is
submitted in response to compulsory information requests, as in
investigations.
    Description of the Likely Respondents, Including Estimated Number
and Proposed Frequency of Response to the Collection of Information--
This collection of information applies to entities that submit to the
agency information that the entities wish to have withheld from
disclosure under the FOIA. Thus, the collection of information applies
to entities that are subject to laws administered by the agency or
agency regulations and are

under an obligation to provide information to the agency. It also
includes entities that voluntarily submit information to the agency.
Such entities would include manufacturers of motor vehicles and of
motor vehicle equipment. Importers are considered to be manufacturers.
It may also include other entities that are involved with motor
vehicles or motor vehicle equipment but are not manufacturers.
    Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burdens
Resulting from the Collection of Information--4000 hours.
    The agency receives requests for confidential treatment that vary
in size from requests that ask the agency to withhold as little as a
portion of one page to multiple boxes of documents. NHTSA estimates
that it will take on average approximately eight (8) hours for an
entity to prepare a submission requesting confidential treatment. This
estimate will vary based on the size of the submission, with smaller
and voluntary submissions taking considerably less time to prepare. The
agency based this estimate on the volume of requests received over the
past three years.
    NHTSA estimates that it will receive approximately 500 requests for
confidential treatment annually. This figure is based on the average
number of requests received over the past three years. We selected this
period because it provides an estimate based on incoming requests for
the most recent three years. The agency estimates that the total burden
for this information collection will be approximately 4000 hours, which
is based on the number of requests (500) multiplied by the estimated
number of hours to prepare each submission (8 hours).
    Since nothing in the rule requires those persons who request
confidential treatment pursuant to part 512 to keep copies of any
records or requests submitted to us, recordkeeping costs imposed would
be zero hours and zero costs.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506; delegation of authority at 49 CFR
1.95.

    Issued on December 21, 2016 in Washington, DC, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR part 1.95.

Chief Counsel.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FRA has received written comments submitted
by interested parties related to various parts of the NPRM and a
written request for a hearing on the NPRM. The purpose of the public
hearing is to permit the exchange of information and concerns regarding
FRA's proposed amendments. The public hearing is meant to allow
interested parties to fully develop and articulate the issues and
concerns they have with the NPRM so that these concerns can be fully
addressed in any final rule that is developed. Interested parties are
invited to present oral statements and proffer evidence at the hearing.
The hearing will be informal and will be conducted by a

representative designated by FRA in accordance with FRA's Rules of
Practice (49 CFR 211.25). The hearing will be non-adversarial
proceeding; therefore, there will be no cross examination of persons
presenting statements or proffering evidence. An FRA representative
will make an opening statement outlining the scope of the hearing.
After all initial statements have been completed, those persons wishing
to make a brief rebuttal will be given the opportunity to do so in the
same order in which the initial statements were made. Additional
procedures, as necessary for the conduct of the hearing, will be
announced at the hearing.
    On December 18, 2008, the comment period for the NPRM will reopen
for thirty (30) days so that the FRA can make the public hearing
transcript available for review and comment by the general public,
interested parties can provide additional comments and documents
related to the NPRM, and interested parties can provide responses to
matters that arise at the public hearing.

Public Participation Procedures

    Any person wishing to participate in the public hearing should
notify the FRA Docket Clerk by mail at the address or by fax at the
number provided in the ADDRESSES section at least five (5) working days
prior to the date of the hearing and submit three copies of the oral
statement that he or she intends to make at the proceeding. The
notification should identify the party the person represents, and the
particular subject(s) the person plans to address. The notification
should also provide the FRA Docket Clerk with the participant's mailing
address and other contact information. FRA reserves the right to limit
participation in the hearings of persons who fail to provide such
notification.

Privacy Act

    FRA wishes to inform all potential commenters that anyone is able
to search the electronic form of all comments received into any agency
docket by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing
the comment, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2011-0260]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Red River

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
all waters of the Red River in the State of North Dakota, including
those portions of the river bordered by Richland, Cass, Traill, Grand
Forks, Walsh, and Pembina Counties, plus those in Minnesota South of a
line drawn across latitude 46[deg]20'00'' N, extending the entire width
of the river. This safety zone is needed to protect persons and vessels
from safety hazards associated with flooding occurring on the Red
River. Entry into this zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River or
a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective in the CFR from April 27, 2011 through
11:59 p.m. on July 15, 2011. This rule is effective with actual notice
from 12:01 a.m. on April 8, 2011, until 11:59 p.m. on July 15, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2011-0260 and are available online
by going to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2011-0260 in the

temporary rule, call or email Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Scott
Stoermer, Sector Upper Mississippi River, Coast Guard at<PHONE_NUMBER>
or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory 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 it would be contrary to public
interest to publish an NPRM as immediate action is necessary to protect
the public and property from the dangers associated with flooding
emergencies. 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 its effective date would
be contrary to public interest because immediate action is needed to
protect vessels and mariners from the safety hazards associated with
flooding emergencies.

Basis and Purpose

    On April 8, 2011, the Captain of the Port Upper Mississippi River
deemed navigation on the Red River unsafe due to severe flooding and
has closed navigation on the Red River bordered by Richland, Cass,
Traill, Grand Forks, Walsh, and Pembina Counties in North Dakota,
extending the entire width of the river. To provide for the safety of
the public, the Coast Guard will temporarily restrict access to this
section of the Red River while conditions remain dangerous.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for all
waters of the Red River in the State of North Dakota, including those
portions of the river bordered by Richland, Cass, Traill, Grand Forks,
Walsh, and Pembina Counties, plus those in Minnesota South of a line
drawn across latitude 46[deg]20'00'' N, extending the entire width of
the river. Entry into this zone is prohibited to all vessels and
persons except those persons and vessels specifically authorized by the
Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River. This rule is
effective from 12:01 a.m. April 8, 2011 until 11:59 p.m. July 15, 2011.
This temporary safety zone will be enforced while conditions remain
dangerous. The Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River will
inform the public through broadcast notice to mariners of all safety
zone changes and enforcement periods.

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 rule will be in effect until canceled and notifications to the
marine community will be made through broadcast notice to mariners and
the River Industry Bulletin Board (RIBB) at http://www.ribb.com.

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 all waters of the Red River in the State of North Dakota,
including those portions of the river bordered by Richland, Cass,
Traill, Grand Forks, Walsh, and Pembina Counties, plus those in
Minnesota South of a line drawn across latitude 46[deg]20'00'' N,
extending the entire width of the river on and after April 8, 2011.
This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reason: (1) This
rule will only be in effect for a limited period of time.
    If you are a small business entity and are significantly affected
by this regulation, please contact LCDR Scott Stoermer, Sector Upper
Mississippi River, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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 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 businesses. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of
the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247).

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.

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.

Taking of Private Property

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

Civil Justice Reform

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

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this 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.

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.

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.

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.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guides 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 because this rule is not expected to result
in any significant adverse environmental impact as described in the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction, an
``Environmental

Analysis Check List'' and a ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' are
not required for this rule.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55098; File No. SR-DTC-2006-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Depository Trust Company;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating To Enhancements to Its SMART/Track for Corporate Action
Liability Notification Service

January 12, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on December 5, 2006, The
Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposed rule change described
in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared primarily
by DTC. DTC filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \2\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4) thereunder \3\ so
that the proposal was effective upon filing with the Commission. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested parties.

    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change would enhance DTC's SMART/Track for
Corporate Action Liability Notification Service.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, DTC 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. DTC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by DTC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In 2004, DTC submitted rule filing SR-DTC-2004-11 that established
the SMART/Track for Corporate Action Liability Notification Service for
the transmission of liability notices between counterparties.\5\ The
purpose of this filing is to propose an enhancement to the Corporate
Action Liability Notification Service by creating a link between SMART/
Track and the National Securities Clearing Corporation's (``NSCC'')
Continuous Net Settlement (``CNS'') system. The link will enable
participants to utilize the SMART/Track interface to notify CNS of
their intention to participate in a voluntary corporate event for a
security that is being processed in CNS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 50887 (December 20,
2004), 69 FR 77802 (December 28, 2004).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Participants currently notify CNS that they plan to participate in
a voluntary corporate action event for a security being processed in
CNS using the ``CNSR'' function of DTC's Participant Terminal System
(``PTS''). The proposed enhancement will enable DTC participants to
create and transmit a CNS liability notice, as well as search or view
liability notices, directly from the SMART/Track home page on the web.
The link will provide participants with a central point of access for
creating, transmitting, and tracking all of their voluntary corporate
action liability notices through SMART/Track.
    Once all CNS participants have registered for the SMART/Track for
Corporate Action Liability Notification Service, DTC will disable the
CNSR function on PTS, and SMART/Track will be the only way for
participants to notify CNS that they plan to participate in a voluntary
corporate action event for a security being processed in CNS.
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 17A of the Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to DTC because it
will promote important disclosures relating to corporate action
liability notices between participant counterparties. The proposed rule
change will be implemented consistently with the safeguarding of
securities and funds in the custody or control of DTC because DTC will
be acting as a notification service.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact or impose any burden on competition.

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

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not yet
been solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4) \7\
thereunder because the proposed rule effects a change in an existing
service of DTC that (i) does not adversely affect the safeguarding of
securities or funds in the custody or control of DTC or for which it is
responsible and (ii) does not significantly affect the respective
rights or obligations of DTC or persons using the service. At any time
within sixty days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate 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.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
