and presently administer the St.
Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls in their
respective jurisdictions. The Tariff sets
forth the level of tolls assessed on all
commodities and vessels transiting the
facilities operated by the SLSDC and the
SLSMC. The SLSDC is revising its
regulations to reflect the fees and
charges levied by the SLSMC in Canada
starting in the 2007 navigation season,
which are effective only in Canada. An
amendment to increase the minimum
charge per lock for those vessels that are
not pleasure craft or subject in Canada
to tolls under items 1 and 2 of the Tariff
for full or partial transit of the Seaway
will apply in the U.S. Also, the SLSDC
is changing the toll charged per pleasure
craft using the U.S. locks from $25 U.S.
or $30 Canadian to $30 U.S. or $30
Canadian. Several minor editorial
corrections are being made in § 402.3,
‘‘Interpretation.’’ and § 402.6,
‘‘Description and weight of cargo.’’ (See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.)
DATES: This rule is effective March 2,
2007.

Counsel, Saint Lawrence Seaway

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Saint
Lawrence Seaway Development
Corporation (SLSDC) and the St.
Lawrence Seaway Management
Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under
international agreement, jointly publish
and presently administer the St.
Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls
(Schedule of Fees and Charges in
Canada) in their respective jurisdictions.
The Tariff sets forth the level of tolls
assessed on all commodities and vessels
transiting the facilities operated by the
SLSDC and the SLSMC. The SLSDC is
revising 33 CFR 402.8, ‘‘Schedule of
tolls’’, to reflect the fees and charges
levied by the SLSMC in Canada
beginning in the 2007 navigation
season. With one exception, the changes
affect the tolls for commercial vessels
and are applicable only in Canada. The
collection of tolls by the SLSDC on
commercial vessels transiting the U.S.
locks is waived by law (33 U.S.C.
988a(a)). Accordingly, no notice or
comment was necessary on these
amendments.
The SLSDC is amending 33 CFR
402.8, ‘‘Schedule of tolls’’, to increase
the minimum charge per vessel per lock
for full or partial transit of the Seaway
from $20.40 to $25.00. This charge is for
vessels that are not pleasure craft or
subject in Canada to the tolls under
items 1 and 2 of the Tariff. This increase
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
is due to higher operating costs at the
locks.
The SLSDC is modifying its practice
regarding the collection of pleasure craft
tolls by allowing pleasure craft
operators to pay the toll for transiting
the U.S. locks, Eisenhower and Snell, in
either $30 U.S. or $30 Canadian.
Currently the toll is payable in $25 U.S.
or $30 Canadian; however, this has
resulted in confusion to pleasure craft
operators when transiting both
Canadian and U.S. locks. With almost
eighty (80) percent of the tolls for
pleasure crafts being paid in Canadian
dollars and little disparity between the
U.S. and Canadian exchange rates, the
SLSDC is streamlining the pleasure craft
toll collection process by allowing for
payment in either $30 U.S. or $30
Canadian. Additionally, the SLSDC is
making several minor editorial changes
to 33 CFR402.3 and 33 CFR 402.5.
Interested parties have been afforded an
opportunity to comment; however no
comments were received.

Regulatory Evaluation
This regulation involves a foreign
affairs function of the United States and
therefore Executive Order 12866 does
not apply and evaluation under the
Department of Transportation’s
Regulatory Policies and Procedures is
not required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Determination
I certify this regulation will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls
primarily relate to commercial users of
the Seaway, the vast majority of whom
are foreign vessel operators. Therefore,
any resulting costs will be borne mostly
by foreign vessels.
Environmental Impact
This regulation does not require an
environmental impact statement under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(49 U.S.C. 4321, et reg.) because it is not
a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment.
