Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
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 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 rule will 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 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 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.
11. 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.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under Executive Order
13211, Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
14. 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have determined that this action is one
of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the
establishment of a safety zone and,
therefore it is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph
34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the Commandant
Instruction. An environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination
and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination are available in the
docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental
impact from this rule.

Synopsis
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507),
the FCC is notifying the public that it
received OMB approval on May 17,
2012, for the information collection
requirements contained in the
Commission’s rules at §§ 51.907(b)(1),
(c)(1), and (d) through (h); 51.909(b)(1),
and (c) through (k); 51.911(b) and (c);
51.915(e)(5) and (f)(7); 51.917(e)(6) and
(f)(3); and 54.304.
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
current, valid OMB Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a current, valid OMB Control
Number. The OMB Control Number is
3060–0400.
The foregoing notice is required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, October 1, 1995,
and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
The total annual reporting burdens
and costs for the respondents are as
follows:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
11:26 Jun 13, 2012
Jkt 226001
Estimated Annual Burden: 8,554
responses; .5 hours to 53 hours; 121,656
hours.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 201, 202, 203,
and 251(b)(5) of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended.
Needs and Uses: On November 18,
2011, the Commission adopted the
Order, FCC 11–161, published at 76 FR
73830, November 29, 2011, that requires
or permits incumbent and competitive
local exchange carriers, as part of
transitioning regulation of interstate and
intrastate switched access rates and
reciprocal compensation rates to billand-keep under section 251(b)(5), to file
tariffs with state commissions and the
Commission. This transition affects
different switched access rates at
specified timeframes and establishes an
Access Recovery Charge by which
carriers will be able to assess end users
a monthly charge to recover some or all
of the revenues they are permitted to
recover resulting from reductions in
intercarrier compensation rates. The
intrastate tariff filings may, depending
on state requirements, require
supporting materials to be filed that may
also largely be satisfied by submitting
the new information collection
referenced above.
