SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
On June 20, 2013 (78 FR 37281), the
NRC published a final rule in the
Federal Register amending its
environmental protection regulations by
updating the Commission’s 1996
findings on the environmental effect of
renewing the operating license of a
nuclear power plant. This document is
necessary to clarify and correct the
revisions made to the statutory authority
that is cited in the authority citation for
part 51 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR). The revisions
made to the authority citation in the
final rule were administrative in nature
and did not change the statutory
authority. The authority citation for 10
CFR part 51 is corrected by inserting
missing punctuation and changing
incorrect punctuation.

Because this amendment constitutes a
minor technical correction to the NRC’s
authority citation for the prior final rule
amending its environmental protection
regulations, the Commission finds that
the notice and comment provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act are
unnecessary and is exercising its
authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) to
publish this amendment as a final rule.
This amendment does not require action
by any person or entity regulated by the
NRC. Also, the final rule does not
change the substantive responsibilities
of any person or entity regulated by the
NRC.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 147 / Wednesday, July 31, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
We are
adopting an updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume II. The Filer Manual
describes the technical formatting
requirements for the preparation and
submission of electronic filings through
the EDGAR system.1 It also describes
the requirements for filing using
EDGARLink Online and the Online
Forms/XML Web site.
The revisions to the Filer Manual
reflect changes within Volume II
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume
II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 24 (July
2013). The updated manual will be
incorporated by reference into the Code
of Federal Regulations.
The Filer Manual contains all the
technical specifications for filers to
submit filings using the EDGAR system.
Filers must comply with the applicable
provisions of the Filer Manual in order
to assure the timely acceptance and
processing of filings made in electronic
format.2 Filers may consult the Filer
Manual in conjunction with our rules
governing mandated electronic filing
when preparing documents for
electronic submission.3
The EDGAR system will be upgraded
to Release 13.2 on July 22, 2013 and will
introduce the following changes:
EDGAR will be updated to introduce
submission form types, SD (Specialized
Disclosure Report) and SD/A on EDGAR
Filing Web site for filing disclosure
under Exchange Act Sections 13(p) and
the related rule regarding the use of
conflict minerals. These submission
form types will be available on the
EDGARLink Online application. Filers
may also construct submissions by
following the ‘EDGARLink Online XML
Technical Specification’, available on
the Commission’s public Web site’s
‘‘Information for EDGAR Filers’’ Web
page.
Form SD Item 1.02 (Conflict Minerals
Report) will require issuers to provide
the Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit
1.02 in ASCII or HTML format. See
Final Release No. 34–67716.
EDGAR will be updated to allow
Form 13H filers to use the 13H–A
submission form type to satisfy both
their annual and fourth quarter
amendment filing requirements. Filers
will be able to submit form type 13H–
ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1 We originally adopted the Filer Manual on April
1, 1993, with an effective date of April 26, 1993.
Release No. 33–6986 (April 1, 1993) [58 FR 18638].
We implemented the most recent update to the Filer
Manual on May 14, 2013. See Release No. 33–9403
(May 21, 2013) [78 FR 29616].

A as their annual (13H–A) and fourth
quarter amendment (13H–Q)
submissions. Additionally, submission
form types 13H, 13H–A and 13H–Q will
be updated to increase the maximum
number of characters accepted by Item
1(b) to 20,000 characters and increase
the number of broker-dealers that can be
provided under Item 6 to 2000.
Along with the adoption of the Filer
Manual, we are amending Rule 301 of
Regulation S–T to provide for the
incorporation by reference into the Code
of Federal Regulations of today’s
revisions. This incorporation by
reference was approved by the Director
of the Federal Register in accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51.
You may obtain paper copies of the
updated Filer Manual at the following
address: Public Reference Room, U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission,
100 F Street NE., Room 1543,
Washington, DC 20549, on official
business days between the hours of
10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We will post
electronic format copies on the
Commission’s Web site; the address for
the Filer Manual is https://www.sec.gov/
info/edgar.shtml.
Since the Filer Manual and the
corresponding rule changes relate solely
to agency procedures or practice,
publication for notice and comment is
not required under the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA).4 It follows that
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act 5 do not apply.
The effective date for the updated
Filer Manual and the rule amendments
is July 31, 2013. In accordance with the
APA,6 we find that there is good cause
to establish an effective date less than
30 days after publication of these rules.
The EDGAR system upgrade to Release
13.2 is scheduled to become available
on July 22, 2013. The Commission
believes that establishing an effective
date less than 30 days after publication
of these rules is necessary to coordinate
the effectiveness of the updated Filer
Manual with the system upgrade.

We are adopting the amendments to
Regulation S–T under Sections 6, 7, 8,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Washington State Department of
Transportation has requested that the
draw span of the Evergreen Point
Floating Bridge (State Route 520 across
Lake Washington) remain closed to
vessel traffic to facilitate safe passage of
participants of the Seafair Airshow
practice and event. Interstate 90 will be
closed to road traffic during this time,
which would divert road traffic onto the
Evergreen Point Floating Bridge. The
closure of the Evergreen Point Floating
Bridge will further help minimize road
traffic congestion resulting from the
closure of Interstate 90. The Evergreen
Point Floating Bridge provides three
navigational openings for vessel
passage, the movable floating span,
subject to this closure, and two fixed
navigational openings; one on the east
end of the bridge and one on the west
end. The fixed navigational opening on
the east end of the bridge provides a
horizontal clearance of 150 feet and a
vertical clearance of 57 feet at mean
high water. The opening on the west
end of the bridge provides a horizontal
clearance of 170 feet and a vertical
clearance of 44 feet at mean high water.
Vessels that are able to safely pass
through the fixed navigational openings
are allowed to do so during this closure
period. Under normal conditions,
during this time frame, the bridge
operates in accordance with 33 CFR
117.1049(a) which states the bridge
shall open on signal if at least two hours
notice is given. This deviation period is
from 9:30 a.m. on August 1, 2013 to 3:30
p.m. August 4, 2013. The deviation
allows the floating draw span of the
Evergreen Point Floating Bridge on Lake
Washington to remain in the closed
position and need not open for maritime
traffic from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on
August 1, 2013; 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
on August 2, 2013; 12:30 p.m. to 3:30
p.m. on August 3, 2013; and 12:30 p.m.
to 3:30 p.m. on August 4, 2013. The
bridge shall operate in accordance to 33
CFR 117.1049(a) at all other times.
Waterway usage on the Lake
Washington Ship ranges from
commercial tug and barge to small
pleasure craft. Mariners will be notified
and kept informed of the bridge’s
operational status via the Coast Guard

appropriate. The draw span will be
required to open, if needed, for vessels
engaged in emergency response
operations during this closure period.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

\2\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.301).
\3\ See Release No. 33-9403 (May 21, 2013) [78 FR 29616] in
which we implemented EDGAR Release 13.1. For additional history of
Filer Manual rules, please see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EDGAR system will be upgraded to Release 13.2 on July 22, 2013
and will introduce the following changes: EDGAR will be updated to
introduce submission form types, SD (Specialized Disclosure Report) and
SD/A on EDGAR Filing Web site for filing disclosure under Exchange Act
Sections 13(p) and the related rule regarding the use of conflict
minerals. These submission form types will be available on the
EDGARLink Online application. Filers may also construct submissions by
following the `EDGARLink Online XML Technical Specification', available
on the Commission's public Web site's ``Information for EDGAR Filers''
Web page.
Form SD Item 1.02 (Conflict Minerals Report) will require issuers
to provide the Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.02 in ASCII or
HTML format. See Final Release No. 34-67716.
EDGAR will be updated to allow Form 13H filers to use the 13H-A
submission form type to satisfy both their annual and fourth quarter
amendment filing requirements. Filers will be able to submit form type
13H-A as their annual (13H-A) and fourth quarter amendment (13H-Q)
submissions. Additionally, submission form types 13H, 13H-A and 13H-Q
will be updated to increase the maximum number of characters accepted
by Item 1(b) to 20,000 characters and increase the number of broker-
dealers that can be provided under Item 6 to 2000.
Along with the adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending Rule
301 of Regulation S-T to provide for the incorporation by reference
into the Code of Federal Regulations of today's revisions. This
incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal
Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51.
You may obtain paper copies of the updated Filer Manual at the
following address: Public Reference Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, 100 F Street NE., Room 1543, Washington, DC 20549, on
official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We
will post electronic format copies on the Commission's Web site; the
address for the Filer Manual is https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml.
Since the Filer Manual and the corresponding rule changes relate
solely to agency procedures or practice, publication for notice and
comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA).\4\ It follows that the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act \5\ do not apply.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule
amendments is July 31, 2013. In accordance with the APA,\6\ we find
that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to
Release 13.2 is scheduled to become available on July 22, 2013. The
Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the
effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the system upgrade.

Sec. 232.301 EDGAR Filer Manual.
Filers must prepare electronic filings in the manner prescribed by
the EDGAR Filer Manual, promulgated by the Commission, which sets out
the technical formatting requirements for electronic submissions. The
requirements for becoming an EDGAR Filer and updating company data are
set forth in the EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ``General Information,''
Version 15 (May 2013). The requirements for filing on EDGAR are set
forth in the updated EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: ``EDGAR Filing,''
Version 24 (July 2013). Additional provisions applicable to Form N-SAR
filers are set forth in the EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume III: ``N-SAR
Supplement,'' Version 2 (August 2011). All of these provisions have
been incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations,
which action was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51. You must comply with
these requirements in order for documents to be timely received and
accepted. You can obtain paper copies of the EDGAR Filer Manual from
the following address: Public Reference Room, U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE., Room 1543, Washington, DC 20549,
on official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
