Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This AD was prompted
by reports of cracking of certain fuel access panels of the outer wing.
This AD requires an external inspection, and if necessary an internal
inspection, to determine if certain fuel access panels are installed,
and replacement if necessary; optional repetitive inspections for
cracking of the fuel access panels, and replacement if necessary, would
defer the internal inspection; and eventual replacement of affected
fuel access panels with new panels. We are issuing this AD to prevent
cracking of fuel access panels, which could result in arcing and
ignition of fuel vapor in the outer wing fuel tank during a lightning
strike.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 30, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of July 30,
2012.

Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 27, 2012 (77
FR 18135). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    [Canadian] Airworthiness Directive (AD) CF-2005-37 was issued on
11 October 2005 to address cracking of the outer wing fuel access
panel, Part Number (P/N) 85714230-001. Similar cracking on an outer
wing fuel access panel, P/N 85714231-001, has been reported. Further
investigation revealed that certain fuel access panels may have seal
grooves manufactured with non-conforming fillet radii which could
lead to cracking. Cracking of the fuel access panel, if not
corrected, could result in arcing and ignition of fuel vapor in the
outer wing fuel tank during a lightning strike.
    This [TCCA] directive mandates the inspection and replacement of
the affected fuel access panels.

Required actions include an external detailed inspection of the outer
wing access panels for rivets of the identification plate, and an
internal inspection of panels without rivets to determine if the
identification plate is installed, and replacing the fuel access panel
if necessary. As an option, this AD allows repetitive external detailed
inspections for cracking of the fuel access panels and, replacing if
necessary, until the internal inspection is done. This AD also requires
eventually replacing the affected fuel access panels with new fuel
access panels. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI
in the AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (77 FR 18135, March 27,
2012) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 74 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 36 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $33,632 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $2,715,208, or $36,692 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (77 FR 18135, March 27,
2012), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations 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.'' The statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The 134 individuals listed
in this notice have recently become eligible for a renewed exemption
from the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce. The drivers remain in good
standing with the Agency, have maintained their required medical
monitoring and have not exhibited any medical issues that would
compromise their ability to safely operate a CMV during the previous 2-
year exemption period.

II. Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 134 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. These 134 drivers
remain in good standing with the Agency, have maintained their required
medical monitoring and have not exhibited any medical issues that would
compromise their ability to safely operate a CMV during the previous 2-
year exemption period. Therefore, FMCSA has decided to extend each
exemption for a renewable two-year period. Each individual is
identified according to the renewal date.
    The exemptions are renewed subject to the following conditions: (1)
That each individual submit a quarterly monitoring checklist completed
by the treating endocrinologist as well as an annual checklist with a
comprehensive medical evaluation; (2) that each individual reports
within 2 business days of occurrence, all episodes of severe
hypoglycemia, significant complications, or inability to manage
diabetes; also, any involvement in an accident or any other adverse
event in a CMV or personal vehicle, whether or not it is related to an
episode of hypoglycemia; (3) that each individual submit an annual
ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report; and (4) that each

individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification to the
employer for retention in the driver's qualification file, or keep a
copy in his/her driver's qualification file if he/she is self-employed.
The driver must also have a copy of the certification when driving, for
presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement
official.

    The drivers were included in one of the following docket Nos:
FMCSA-2008-0137; FMCSA-2009-0122. Their exemptions are effective as of
July 28, 2017, and will expire on July 28, 2019.
    Each of the 134 drivers in the aforementioned groups qualifies for
a renewal of the exemption. They have maintained their required medical
monitoring and have not exhibited any medical issues that would
compromise their ability to safely operate a CMV during the previous 2-
year exemption period.
    These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting each
driver's ability to continue to drive safely in interstate commerce.
Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for each of the
134 drivers for a period of two years is likely to achieve a level of
safety equal to that existing without the exemption. The drivers were
included in docket numbers FMCSA-2007-27387; FMCSA-2008-0137; FMCSA-
2009-0122; FMCSA-2011-0143; FMCSA-2013-0018; FMCSA-2015-0060; FMCSA-
2015-0061.

IV. Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by July 6, 2017.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 134 individuals from rule
prohibiting persons with ITDM from operating CMVs in interstate
commerce in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each
case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received
to its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the medical condition of each applicant for an exemption from
rule prohibiting persons with ITDM from operating CMVs in interstate
commerce. That information is available by consulting the above cited
Federal Register publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0258]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Submission of Petitions: Food Additive, Color Additive
(Including Labeling), and Generally Recognized as Safe Affirmation;
Submission of Information to a Master File in Support of Petitions;
Electronic Submission Using Food and Drug Administration Form 3503

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection
provisions of FDA's regulations for submission of petitions, including
food and color additive petitions (including labeling) and generally
recognized as safe (GRAS) affirmations, submission of information to a
Master File in support of petitions, and electronic submission using
FDA Form 3503. This notice also notifies the public of and solicits
comments on FDA's proposed changes to Form FDA 3503 and elimination of
Form FDA 3504.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection
of information by August 13, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denver Presley, Jr., Office of
Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr.,
PI50-400B, Rockville, MD 20850,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Submission of Petitions: Food Additive, Color Additive (Including
Labeling), and GRAS Affirmation; Submission of Information to a Master
File in Support of Petitions; Electronic Submission Using FDA Form
3503--21 CFR 70.25, 71.1, 170.35, 171.1, 172, 173, 179, and 180 (OMB
Control Number 0910-0016)--Revision

    Section 409(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
act) (21 U.S.C. 348(a)) provides that a food additive shall be deemed
to be unsafe, unless: (1) The additive and its use, or intended use,
are in conformity with a regulation issued under section 409 of the act
that describes the condition(s) under which the additive may be safely
used; (2) the additive and its use, or intended use, conform to the
terms of an exemption for investigational use; or (3) a food contact
notification submitted under section 409(h) of the act is effective.
Food additive petitions (FAPs) are submitted by individuals or
companies to obtain approval of a new food additive or to amend the
conditions of use permitted under an existing food additive regulation.
Section 171.1 of FDA's regulations (21 CFR 171.1) specifies the
information that a petitioner must submit in order to establish that
the proposed use of a food additive is safe and to secure the
publication of a food additive regulation describing the conditions
under which the additive may be safely used. Parts 172, 173, 179, and
180 (21 CFR parts 172, 173, 179, and 180) contain labeling requirements
for certain food additives to ensure their safe use.
    Section 721(a) of the act (21 U.S.C. 379e(a)) provides that a color
additive shall be deemed to be unsafe unless the additive and its use
are in conformity with a regulation that describes the condition(s)
under which the additive may safely be used, or the additive and its
use conform to the terms of an exemption for investigational use issued
under section 721(f) of the act. Color additive petitions (CAPs) are
submitted by individuals or companies to obtain approval of a new color
additive or a change in the conditions of use permitted for a color
additive that is already approved. Section 71.1 of the agency's
regulations (21 CFR 71.1) specifies the information that a petitioner
must submit to establish the safety of a color additive and to secure
the issuance of a regulation permitting its use. FDA's color additive
labeling requirements in Sec.  70.25 (21 CFR 70.25) require that color
additives that are to be used in food, drugs, devices, or cosmetics be
labeled with sufficient information to ensure their safe use.
    FDA scientific personnel review FAPs to ensure the safety of the
intended use of the additive in or on food or that may be present in
food as a result of its use in articles that contact food. Likewise,
FDA personnel review color additive petitions to ensure the safety of
the color additive prior to its use in food, drugs, cosmetics, or
medical devices.
    Under section 201(s) of the act (21 U.S.C. 321(s)), a substance is
GRAS if it is generally recognized among experts qualified by
scientific training and experience to evaluate its safety, to be safe
through either scientific procedures

or common use in food. The act historically has been interpreted to
permit food manufacturers to make their own initial determination that
use of a substance in food is GRAS and thereafter seek affirmation of
GRAS status from FDA. FDA reviews petitions for affirmation of GRAS
status that are submitted on a voluntary basis by the food industry and
other interested parties under authority of sections 201, 402, 409, and
701 of the act (21 U.S.C. 342, 348, and 371). To implement the GRAS
provisions of the act, FDA has set forth procedures for the GRAS
affirmation petition process in Sec.  170.35(c)(1) of its regulations
(21 CFR 170.35(c)(1)). While the GRAS affirmation petition process
still exists, FDA has not received a GRAS affirmation petition since
the establishment of the voluntary GRAS notification program and is not
expecting any during the period covered by this proposed extension of
collection of information.
    Currently, interested persons may transmit regulatory submissions
to the Office of Food Additive Safety in the Center for Food Safety and
Applied Nutrition using Form FDA 3503 for FAP and Form FDA 3504 for
CAP. FDA is revising Form FDA 3503 to better enable its use for
electronic submission and to permit its use for multiple types of
submissions, which eliminates the need for Form FDA 3504. Because Form
FDA 3503 helps the respondent organize their submission to focus on the
information needed for FDA's safety review, FDA now recommends that
this form be used for FAPs and CAPs, whether submitted in electronic
format or paper format. FDA estimates that the amount of time for
respondents to complete the revised FDA Form 3503 will continue to be 1
hour. The revised Form FDA 3503 can be used to submit information to
FDA in electronic format using the Electronic Submission Gateway
portal. The revised Form FDA 3503 can be used to substitute for the
``Dear Sir'' section of 21 CFR 71.1(c) for a CAP and 21 CFR 171.1(c)
for an FAP. The revised Form FDA 3503 provides for submitters to
indicate the date of their most recent presubmission consultation
activity with FDA. The revised Form FDA 3503 can also be used to
organize information within a Master File submitted in support of
petitions according to the items listed on the form. Master Files can
be used as repositories for information that can be referenced in
multiple submissions to the agency, thus minimizing paperwork burden
for food and color additive approvals. The revised Form FDA 3503 is
formatted to accept submissions for both FAP and CAP, thus making Form
FDA 3504 redundant for collecting CAP submissions. Therefore, FDA is
eliminating Form FDA 3504.
    Description of respondents: Respondents are businesses engaged in
the manufacture or sale of food, food ingredients, color additives, or
substances used in materials that come into contact with food.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as

\1\ There are no capital costs associated with this collection of information.

    The estimate of burden for food additive, color additive, or GRAS
affirmation petitions is based on FDA's experience and the average
number of new petitions received in calendar years 2006, 2007, 2008,
and 2009, and the total hours expended in preparing the petitions. In
compiling these estimates, FDA consulted its records of the number of
petitions received in the past four years. The figures for hours per
response are based on estimates from experienced persons in the agency
and in industry. Although the estimated hour burden varies with the
type of petition submitted, an average petition involves analytical
work and appropriate toxicological studies, as well as the work of
drafting the petition itself. The burden varies depending on the
complexity of the petition, including the amount and types of data
needed for scientific analysis.
    Color additives are subjected to payment of fees for the
petitioning process. The listing fee for a color additive petition
ranges from $1,600 to $3,000, depending on the intended use of the
color and the scope of the requested amendment. A complete schedule of
fees is set forth in 21 CFR 70.19. An average of one Category A and one
Category B color additive petition is expected per year. The maximum
color additive petition fee for a Category A petition is $2,600 and the
maximum color additive petition fee for a Category B petition is
$3,000. Because an average of 2 color additive petitions are expected
per calendar year, the estimated total annual cost burden to
petitioners for this startup cost would be less than or equal to $5,600
(1 x $2,600 + 1 x $3,000 listing fees = $5,600). There are no capital
costs associated with color additive petitions.
    The labeling requirements for food and color additives were
designed to specify the minimum information needed for labeling in
order that food and color manufacturers may comply with all applicable
provisions of the act and other specific labeling acts administered by
FDA. Label information

does not require any additional information gathering beyond what is
already required to assure conformance with all specifications and
limitations in any given food or color additive regulation. Label
information does not have any specific recordkeeping requirements
unique to preparing the label. Therefore, because labeling requirements
under Sec.  70.25 for a particular color additive involve information
required as part of the CAP safety review process, the estimate for
number of respondents is the same for Sec.  70.25 and Sec.  71.1, and
the burden hours for labeling are included in the estimate for Sec.
71.1. Also, because labeling requirements under parts 172, 173, 179,
and 180 for particular food additives involve information required as
part of the FAP safety review process under Sec.  171.1, the burden
hours for labeling are included in the estimate for Sec.  171.1.

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2014-0272]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Saugus River, Revere and Lynn,
MA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to modify the operating schedule that
governs the General Edwards SR1A Bridge across the Saugus River at mile
1.7, between Revere and Lynn, Massachusetts. The bridge owner,
Massachusetts Department of Transportation, submitted a request to
require a two-hour advance notice for bridge openings at all times
based upon infrequent requests to open the draw during past years. It
is expected that this change to the regulation will create efficiency
in drawbridge operations while continuing to meet the reasonable needs
of navigation.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before June 24, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2014-0272 using any one of the following methods:

place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The General Edwards SR1A Bridge across the Saugus River at mile
1.7, between Revere and Lynn, Massachusetts, has a vertical clearance
of 27 feet at mean high water and 36 feet at mean low water. The
drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.618(b).
    The waterway users are commercial lobster boats and seasonal
recreational vessels of various size.
    The owner of the bridge, Massachusetts Department of
Transportation, submitted a request to the Coast Guard to change the
drawbridge operating regulations that presently require the bridge to
open on signal; except that, from April 1 through November 30, from
midnight through 8 a.m. at least an eight hour advance notice is
required for bridge openings, and at all times from December 1 through
March 31, at least an eight hour

advance notice is required for bridge openings.
    Under this proposed rule the bridge would open on signal at all
times if at least a two-hour advance notice is given by calling the
number posted at the bridge.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to change the drawbridge operation
regulations at 33 CFR 117.618(b) that would allow the General Edwards
SR1A Bridge to open on signal at all times if at least a two-hour
advance notice is given by calling the number posted at the bridge.
    As a result of the vertical clearance under the bridge, 27 feet at
mean high water and 36 feet at mean low water, the bridge has received
few requests to open during past years. There were no requests to open
the bridge in 2013, because the bridge was closed due to a major
rehabilitation. There were 20 requests to open in 2012, 14 requests to
open in 2011, 55 requests to open in 2010, and 141 openings in 2009, 59
of which were test openings.
    Based on the above information, the Coast Guard believes it is
reasonable to allow the General Edwards SR1A Bridge to open on signal
at all times if at least a two-hour advance notice is given. This
decision was based on the number requests to open the bridge during the
past years and the relatively high vertical clearance under the bridge.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Order 12866, or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders. We believe that this rule is
not a significant regulatory action because the bridge will still open
for all vessel traffic at all times provided the two-hour advance
notice is given.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
    This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
needing to transit through the bridge.
    This action will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: The
General Edwards SR1A Bridge will open on signal at all times provided
at least a two hour advance notice is given.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above.
    The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. Civil Justice Reform

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

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01, and 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 made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule simply
promulgates the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of significant environmental
impact from the proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117
