the request in an electronic format and
requesting an alternative format. Such
request must include an explanation of
why an alternative format is necessary.
All submissions, including requests to
submit the information in an alternative
format, requests for exemptions, and all
supporting information must be legible
and in the English language. An
exemption request must contain:
(1) The manufacturer’s address and
contact information;
(2) Identification of the tobacco
product(s);
(3) A detailed explanation of the
purpose of the modification;
(4) A detailed description of the
modification, including a statement as
to whether the modification involves
adding or deleting a tobacco additive, or
increasing or decreasing the quantity of
an existing tobacco additive;
(5) A detailed explanation of why the
modification is a minor modification of
a tobacco product that can be sold under
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act;
(6) A detailed explanation of why a
report under section 905(j)(1) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
intended to demonstrate substantial
equivalence is not necessary to ensure
that permitting the tobacco product to
be marketed would be appropriate for
protection of the public health;
(7) A certification (i.e., a signed
statement by a responsible official of the
manufacturer) summarizing the
supporting evidence and providing the
rationale for the official’s determination
that the modification does not increase
the tobacco product’s appeal to or use
by minors, toxicity, addictiveness, or
abuse liability;
(8) Other information justifying an
exemption; and
(9) An environmental assessment
under part 25 of this chapter prepared
in accordance with the requirements of
§ 25.40 of this chapter.
(c) Exemption determination. FDA
will review the information submitted
and determine whether to grant or deny
an exemption request based on whether
the criteria in section 905(j)(3) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
are met. FDA may request additional
information if necessary to make a
determination. FDA will consider the
exemption request withdrawn if the
information is not provided within the
requested timeframe.
(d) Rescission of an exemption. FDA
may rescind an exemption if it finds
that the exemption is not appropriate for
the protection of public health. In
general, FDA will rescind an exemption
only after notice and opportunity for a
hearing under part 16 of this chapter is

provided. However, FDA may rescind
an exemption prior to notice and
opportunity for a hearing under part 16
of this chapter if the continuance of the
exemption presents a serious risk to
public health. In that case, FDA will
provide the manufacturer an
opportunity for a hearing as soon as
possible after the rescission.

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 using the notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) process. The Coast
Guard received notice of the U.S.
Wakeboard Nationals event on May 11,
2011. This short notice did not allow
the time needed to publish a NPRM and
provide a comment period. Delaying
this rule by publishing a NPRM would
be impracticable because this rule is

38976
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 5, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
needed to protect vessels and mariners
from the safety hazards associated with
the scheduled demonstration.
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 this rule by providing
a full 30 days notice would be
impracticable because immediate action
is needed to protect vessels and
mariners from the safety hazards
associated with a wakeboard
competition.
Basis and Purpose
From July 20 through July 24, 2011,
World Sports and Marketing will
sponsor the U.S. Wakeboard Nationals
between Mile 856.0 and 855.0 on the
Upper Mississippi River in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. This event
presents safety hazards to the navigation
of vessels between Mile 856.0 and
855.0, extending the entire width of the
river.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
safety zone for all waters of the Upper
Mississippi River, Mile 856.0 to 855.0,
Minneapolis, Minnesota and extending
the entire width of the river. Entry into
this zone is prohibited to all vessels and
persons except U.S. Wakeboard
Nationals participants and those
persons and vessels specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Upper Mississippi River. This rule is
effective from 8 a.m. on July 20, 2011
through 6 p.m. on July 24, 2011. This
rule will be enforced daily from 9 a.m.
until 5:30 p.m. on July 20 through 24,
2011. The Captain of the Port Upper
Mississippi River will inform the public
through broadcast notice to mariners of
all safety zone requirements, changes,
and enforcement periods.

Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or
executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
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.
Although this regulation will restrict
access to this area, the effect of the rule
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:57 Jul 01, 2011
Jkt 223001
is not significant because this rule will
be in effect for a limited time period and
notifications to the marine community
will be made through local notice to
mariners.
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).
Small Entities
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.
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 the Upper
Mississippi River, Mile 856.0 to 855.0
after 8 a.m. on July 20, 2011 through
6 p.m. CDT on July 24, 2011. This safety
zone will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities because 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 Chief Petty
Officer Bryan Klostermeyer, Sector
Upper Mississippi River at (314) 269–
2566.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we offer to assist small entities in
understanding the rule so that they can
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).
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.

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.
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES
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
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded this action is one of a
category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
34(g), of the Instruction. This rule
established a temporary safety zone. An
environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination will
be available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.

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 using the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) process.
The Coast Guard received notice of the U.S. Wakeboard Nationals event
on May 11, 2011. This short notice did not allow the time needed to
publish a NPRM and provide a comment period. Delaying this rule by
publishing a NPRM would be impracticable because this rule is
[[Page 38976]]
needed to protect vessels and mariners from the safety hazards
associated with the scheduled demonstration.
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 this rule by providing a
full 30 days notice would be impracticable because immediate action is
needed to protect vessels and mariners from the safety hazards
associated with a wakeboard competition.
Basis and Purpose
From July 20 through July 24, 2011, World Sports and Marketing will
sponsor the U.S. Wakeboard Nationals between Mile 856.0 and 855.0 on
the Upper Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This event
presents safety hazards to the navigation of vessels between Mile 856.0
and 855.0, extending the entire width of the river.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone for all waters of the
Upper Mississippi River, Mile 856.0 to 855.0, Minneapolis, Minnesota
and extending the entire width of the river. Entry into this zone is
prohibited to all vessels and persons except U.S. Wakeboard Nationals
participants and those persons and vessels specifically authorized by
the Captain of the Port Upper Mississippi River. This rule is effective
from 8 a.m. on July 20, 2011 through 6 p.m. on July 24, 2011. This rule
will be enforced daily from 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on July 20 through
24, 2011. The Captain of the Port Upper Mississippi River will inform
the public through broadcast notice to mariners of all safety zone
requirements, changes, and enforcement periods.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
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.
Although this regulation will restrict access to this area, the
effect of the rule is not significant because this rule will be in
effect for a limited time period and notifications to the marine
community will be made through local notice to mariners.
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 the Upper Mississippi River, Mile 856.0 to 855.0 after 8 a.m.
on July 20, 2011 through 6 p.m. CDT on July 24, 2011. This safety zone
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities because 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 Chief Petty Officer Bryan
Klostermeyer, Sector Upper Mississippi River at (314) 269-2566.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can 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). 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.
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.
[[Page 38977]]
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 Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g),
of the Instruction. This rule established a temporary safety zone. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination will be available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
