Background and Purpose The America’s Cup Race Management has applied for a Marine Event Permit to hold the 34th America’s Cup races on the waters of San Francisco Bay in California. The Coast Guard has not approved the Marine Event Permit and is still evaluating the application, including the potential environmental impact of the requested permit. If the permit is approved, however, we anticipate that a special local regulation may be necessary to ensure public safety during the races. To provide adequate time for public input, we proposed a special local regulation and safety zone on January 30, 2012 (77 FR 4501). In the January 2012 notice of proposed rulemaking, the Coast Guard proposed regulations for the 2012 and 2013 races. These include proposed regulated areas surrounding the primary and contingent race areas; a designated area for recreational swimmers, rowers, and kayakers; a transit zone for using during the 2013 races; restrictions on vessel traffic and the use of Anchorage No. 7; and a safety zone around racing vessels. These proposed rules are temporary and would be enforced only on race days. The public comment period on these proposed rules remains open through April 30, 2012. If the Marine Event Permit is not approved, we will withdraw the proposed rules. Draft Environmental Assessment In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023–01, and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, we have prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA) of the proposed special local regulation and safety zone described above. The draft EA, which is available in the docket, identifies and E:\FR\FM\17APP1.SGM 17APP1 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 74 / Tuesday, April 17, 2012 / Proposed Rules examines the reasonable alternatives and assesses their potential environmental impact. It also identifies the preferred alternative and how it affects the proposed rulemaking. We request your comments on environmental concerns that you may have related to the draft EA. This includes suggesting analyses and methodologies for use in the EA or possible sources of data or information not included in the draft EA. Your comments will be considered in preparing the final EA. This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a), and 33 CFR 1.05–1, 100.35, and 165.5. Dated: March 29, 2012. Cynthia L.

This proposed rule would require the use of EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) and the Chemical Information Submission System (CISS) web-based reporting tool for the submission of forms, reports, and other documents except for TSCA section 5 submissions, which would use existing e-PMN software.
