DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2020-0713]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Lower Mississippi River, Natchez, MS

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
all navigable waters of the Lower Mississippi River (LMR), between Mile
Marker 368 and 370. The safety zone is needed to protect persons,
property, infrastructure, and the marine environment from the potential
safety hazards associated with line pulling operations in the vicinity
of the Natchez, MS. Entry of persons or vessels into this zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Lower
Mississippi River or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice on December 18,
2020. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from
December 9, 2020 until December 17, 2020.

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port
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 because it is impracticable. Immediate action
is needed to protect persons and property from the potential safety
hazards associated with line pulling operations. The NPRM process would
delay the establishment of the safety zone until after the date of the
event and compromise public safety.
    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 of
this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated
with the line pulling operations in the vicinity of Natchez, MS.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port (COTP)
Sector Lower Mississippi River (LMR) has determined that potential
hazards associated with the line pulling operations at Mile Marker (MM)
369.0, scheduled to start on December 9, 2020, would be a safety
concern for all persons and vessels on the Lower Mississippi River
between MM 368.0 and MM 370.0 through December 18, 2020. This rule is
needed to protect persons, property, infrastructure, and the marine
environment in all waters of the LMR within the safety zone while line
pulling operations are being conducted.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from December 9, 2020
to December 18, 2020. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters
of the LMR from MM 368.0 to MM 370.0. The duration of this safety zone
is intended to ensure the safety of waterway users on these navigable
waters during, the line pulling operations.
    Entry of persons or vessels into this safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the COTP or a designated representative. A
designated representative is a commissioned, warrant, or petty officer
of the U.S. Coast Guard assigned to units under the operational control
of USCG Sector Lower Mississippi River. Persons or vessels seeking to
enter the safety zones must request permission from the COTP or a
designated representative on VHF-FM channel 16 or by telephone at 901-
521-4822. If permission is granted, all persons and vessels shall
comply with the instructions of the COTP or designated representative.
The COTP or a designated representative will inform the public of the
enforcement times and date for this safety zone through Broadcast
Notices to Mariners (BNMs), Local Notices to Mariners (LNMs), and/or
Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs), as appropriate.

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 size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. Vessel traffic will be
prohibited from entering this safety zone, which will impact a one-mile
stretch of Lower Mississippi River for only 6 days. Moreover, the Coast
Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine
channel 16 about the safety zone, and the rule allows vessels to seek
permission to enter the zone.

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 zone 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.
    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
call or email 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.

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, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), 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 a
safety zone that will prohibit entry on a one-mile stretch of the Lower
Mississippi River. It is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L60 of Appendix A, Table 1 of UDHS Instruction Manual
023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is available in the docket. For
instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email 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.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31072 Amdt. No. 3692]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities,
adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective April 22, 2016. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of April 22, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20.
The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form documents is
unnecessary.
    This amendment provides the affected CFR sections, and specifies
the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their applicable effective
dates. This amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the
procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on the
criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument
Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific
conditions existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in
this rule have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an
emergency action of immediate flight safety relating directly to
published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore-- (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. This action may,
however, be of interest to those persons who are interested in
agricultural biotechnology or may be required to conduct testing of
pesticidal substances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA). Since other entities may also be interested, the Agency has
not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the

appropriate person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What action is the agency taking?

    Under section 5 of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow
manufacturers to field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers
are required to obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses
of pesticides if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or
more of land or one acre or more of water.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the
following EUP applications may be of regional and national
significance, and therefore is seeking public comment on the EUP
applications:
    Submitter: Bayer CropScience LP, (264-EUP-140).
    Pesticide Chemical: Plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs) Bacillus
thuringiensis Cry1Ab protein and the genetic material necessary for its
production in event T303-3 and T304-40 cotton plants.
    Summary of Request: Bayer CropScience LP has requested an amendment
and extension of EUP 264-EUP-140, which was first granted by EPA on
February 7, 2006 (71 FR 41020; July 19, 2006; FRL-8060-6), and was
amended on March 8, 2007 (72 FR 34009; June 20, 2007; FRL-8133-5), on
August 28, 2008 (73 FR 58949; October 8, 2008; FRL-8384-9), and on
November 24, 2008 (74 FR 10571; March 11, 2009; FRL-8398-2). Under the
existing EUP, plantings are permitted through December 31, 2010. Bayer
CropScience LP is now proposing to amend the experimental program by
conducting testing on 152 acres (out of 1,602 total acres) planted to
Cry1Ab-containing cotton, with up to 0.03 pound of Cry1Ab protein and
the genetic material necessary for its production in events T303-3 and
T304-40; and to extend the amended program to run from January 1, 2011
until December 31, 2011. The company is researching the potential of
this cotton PIP, Cry1Ab protein, for control of lepidopteran larvae
such as cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa zea) and tobacco budworm
(Heliothis virescens), which are common pests of cotton. The proposed
program will be carried out in the States of Alabama, Arkansas,
Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and the United States
territory of Puerto Rico. The proposed experimental program includes
trials to evaluate insect and herbicide efficacy, agronomic
performance, and breeding lines. Also proposed is the production of
seed for future plantings of experimental and regulatory field trials.
    Submitter: Bayer CropScience LP, (264-EUP-143).
    Pesticide Chemical: Bacillus thuringiensis Cry2Ae protein and the
genetic material necessary for its production in event GHB119 and
GHB714 cotton PIPs, and Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab x Cry2Ae combined
trait cotton (TwinLink \TM\ Cotton) PIPs.
    Summary of Request: Bayer CropScience LP has requested an amendment
and extension of EUP 264-EUP-143, which was first granted by EPA on
September 1, 2008 (73 FR 65848; November 5, 2008; FRL-8388-6). Under
the existing EUP, plantings are permitted through December 31, 2010.
Bayer CropScience LP is now proposing to amend the experimental program
to allow further evaluation of these cotton plant lines in a wider
range of environmental conditions between January 1, 2011 and December
31, 2011. Testing is intended to include insect efficacy trials,
agronomic performance evaluations, and herbicide efficacy evaluations,
as well as the production of sample material for regulatory studies.
The applicant requests to conduct-testing in 12 States: Alabama,
Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and the
United States territory of Puerto Rico. Testing will be conducted on a
total of 1,919 acres of which 152 acres will be planted to Cry2Ae and
307 acres will be planted to Cry1Ab x Cry2Ae combined trait cotton
(TwinLink \TM\ Cotton). The proposed experimental program requires up
to 0.059 pound of Cry1Ab protein from the Cry1Ab x Cry2Ae combined
trait cotton (Twinlink \TM\ Cotton) and up to 0.021 pound of Cry2Ae
protein from the Cry1Ab x Cry2Ae combined trait cotton (TwinLink \TM\
Cotton) and the Cry2Ae cotton. The level of Cry1Ab and Cry2Ae protein
in the different plant materials is only an estimation based on Bayer
CropScience LP's current level of information. The company is
researching the potential for Bacillus thuringiensis Cry2Ae and
combined Cry1Ab and Cry2Ae proteins (TwinLink \TM\ Cotton) produced by
the inserted genetic material in these cotton PIPs for control of
lepidopteran larvae such as cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa zea), tobacco
budworm (Heliothis virescens), pink bollworm (Pectinophora
gossypiella), fall

armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), and beet armyworm (Spodoptera
exigua). All cotton plants to be evaluated under this EUP contain the
Cry2Ae protein and have been derived from either transformation event
GHB119 or GHB714 or are combinations derived from either transformation
event T303-3 or T304-40 and event GHB119 or GHB714.
    A copy of the applications and any information submitted is
available for public review in the dockets established for these EUP
applications as described under ADDRESSES.
    Following the review of the applications and any comments and data
received in response to these solicitations, EPA will decide whether to
issue or deny the EUP amendment and extension requests, and if issued,
the conditions under which they are to be conducted. Any issuance of
the EUPs will be announced in the Federal Register.

14 CFR Parts 117 and 121

[Docket No. FAA-2009-1093; Notice No. 10-11]
RIN 2120-AJ58

Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest Requirements

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of procedures for submission of clarifying questions.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA published a proposed rule on September 14, 2010, to
amend its existing flight, duty and rest regulations applicable to
certificate holders and their flightcrew members. The FAA has received
requests from stakeholders to provide a forum during the comment period
where they can pose clarifying questions and receive answers to them.
In response to these requests, the FAA is issuing this notice, which
includes the procedures for handling clarifying questions to the
proposed rule.

DATES: You must submit your clarifying questions in writing using the
procedures outlined below by October 15, 2010. The FAA anticipates
responding to these submissions by October 22, 2010. Comments on the
proposed rule must be received on or before November 15, 2010.

ADDRESSES: See the ``Procedures for Filing Clarifying Requests''
section of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: See the ``Procedures for Filing
Clarifying Requests'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 14, 2010, the FAA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest
Requirements'' (75 FR 55852). The proposed regulation recognizes the
growing similarities between the types of operations and the
universality of factors that lead to fatigue in most individuals.
Fatigue threatens aviation safety because it increases the risk of
pilot error that could lead to an accident. The new requirements, if
adopted, would eliminate the current distinctions between domestic,
flag and supplemental operations. The proposal provides different
requirements based on the time of day, whether an individual is
acclimated to a new time zone, and the likelihood of being able to
sleep under different circumstances. The comment period closes November
15, 2010.
    Since the docket opened, the FAA has received numerous requests for
technical clarification of the proposed rulemaking. The FAA believes
that it makes sense to provide additional clarity where comenters
believe the draft regulatory text is unclear or omits pertinent
information. For example, one commenter noted that there is a cross-
reference to the existing flight crewmember regulations in the
regulations governing flight and duty time for flight attendants. By
dropping all of the part 121 flight crewmember flight and duty
regulations, that cross-reference would no longer make sense, and it
would be unclear whether the provision still had any validity.
    To the extent possible, the FAA believes there is value in
providing greater technical clarity while the comment period is still
open. This clarity will allow interested parties to focus on the policy
implications of the proposal without spending undue amounts of time
trying to figure out how the rule, if implemented, would be implemented
or interact with other regulatory requirements. The FAA also believes
that there should be a cut-off for consideration of these technical
issues so that commenters know with certainty how these issues are
resolved before they finalize their comments.
    Accordingly, the FAA requests that all requests for clarification
be submitted to the docket no later than October 15, 2010. The FAA
anticipates responding to requests that are truly clarifying in nature
by October 22, 2010, a full three weeks before the close of the comment
period. To the extent a request raises policy considerations that are
more appropriately resolved after the public has been given a full
opportunity to comment, the FAA anticipates addressing those comments
in a final rule.

Procedures for Filing Clarifying Requests

    The below procedures are not a substitute for filing substantive
questions and comments to the proposed rule. The procedures for
submitting those types of comments are discussed in the NPRM.
Commenters should follow those procedures to file their substantive
questions and comments by November 15, 2010.
    If you wish to submit a request to the FAA for clarification of the
NPRM (Docket Number FAA-2009-1093) before the comment period closes,
you must send your request using the below method by October 15, 2010.
