benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). Executive Order 13563
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules,
and of promoting flexibility. This rule
has been determined to be not
significant for the purposes of Executive
Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, no person is required
to respond to, nor is subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with, a collection
of information, subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Control Number. This rule does
not contain any collections of
information.
3. This rule does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as that
term is defined in Executive Order
13132.
4. The Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA), as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq., generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis of any rule subject to the notice
and comment rulemaking requirements
under the Administrative Procedure Act
(5 U.S.C. 553) or any other statute.
Under section 605(b) of the RFA,
however, if the head of an agency
certifies that a rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities, the
statute does not require the agency to
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis.
Pursuant to section 605(b), the Chief
Counsel for Regulation, Department of
Commerce, certified to the Chief
Counsel for Advocacy, Small Business
Administration that this proposed rule,
if promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.

Number of Small Entities
The Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS) does not collect data on the size
of entities that apply for and are issued
export licenses. Although BIS is unable
to estimate the exact number of small
entities that would be affected by this
rule, it acknowledges that this rule
would affect some unknown number.

Economic Impact
BIS believes that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic
impact because exporters are already
using other provisions of the EAR to
participate in IMMEX. Currently,
exporters participating in IMMEX are
using TMP for exports of a one-year
duration. If the item is to remain in
Mexico longer than one year, exporters
are required to either use another
license exception or apply for a license
that will address a specific time limit.
This proposed rule merely extends the
eligibility period for TMP to four years
to complement the lengthy IMMEX time
limit which could be 18 months or
more, depending on circumstances.
Extending the time limit of TMP to four
years provides exporters flexibility in
complying with the EAR and allows
them to take fuller advantage of the
privileges granted by IMMEX. While
such a provision should reduce the
paperwork burden to exporters, BIS
does not believe increasing the time
limit will lead to a significant increase
in exports to Mexico. Rather, this
proposed rule is consistent with the
principle of the EAR in easing the
unnecessary regulatory burden to
exporters.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Native American Housing and
Assistance and Self-Determination Act
of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.)
(NAHASDA) changed the way that
housing assistance is provided to Native
Americans. NAHASDA eliminated
several separate assistance programs
and replaced them with a single block
grant program, known as the Indian
Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program.
The regulations governing the IHBG
formula allocation are codified in
subpart D of part 1000 of HUD’s
regulations in title 24 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. In accordance with
section 106 of NAHASDA, HUD
developed the regulations with active
tribal participation using the procedures
of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of
1990 (5 U.S.C. 561–570).
Under the IHBG program, HUD makes
assistance available to eligible Indian
tribes for affordable housing activities.
The amount of assistance made
available to each Indian tribe is
determined using a formula that was
developed as part of the NAHASDA
negotiated process. Based on the
amount of funding appropriated for the
IHBG program, HUD calculates the
annual grant for each Indian tribe and
provides this information to the Indian
tribes. An Indian Housing Plan for the
Indian tribe is then submitted to HUD.
If the Indian Housing Plan is found to
be in compliance with statutory and
regulatory requirements, the grant is
made.
On June 5, 2013, HUD announced in
the Federal Register the list of proposed
members for the negotiated rulemaking
committee, and requested additional
public comment on the proposed
membership.
The first eight meetings of the
negotiated rulemaking committee were
held on the following dates:
• August 27, 2013, and August 28,
2013;
• Tuesday, September 17, 2013,
Wednesday, September 18, 2013, and

§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and U.S. Department of Agriculture
Wildlife Services notified the Coast
Guard that they intend to conduct
federally permitted removal operations
of the Double-Crested Cormorant
starting September 21, 2016. This
operation will involve the use of
firearms and live ammunition. The
Captain of the Port Sector Columbia
River (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the
removal operations will be a safety
concern for anyone within a 500-yard
radius of the small boat ‘‘Nessy,’’ and all
involved associated support vessel(s).
The safety zone is needed to protect
personnel and vessels in the navigable
waters within the safety zone.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to
ensure the safety of vessels and the
navigable waters before, during, and
after the scheduled operations. The
Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP proposes to establish a
safety zone regulation from September
21, 2016, through October 21, 2016. The
safety zone will cover all navigable
