Waterway Security Zone set forth in
paragraph (c)(2) of 33 CFR 165.1321 on
September 2, 2013 at 6:00 a.m. through
11:59 p.m. on September 10, 2013
unless cancelled sooner by the Captain
of the Port or Designated Representative.
Under the provisions of 33 CFR
165.1321, the Coast Guard published a
final rule for the security of Department
of Defense assets and military cargo in
the navigable waters of Puget Sound and
adjacent waters. The security zone will
provide for the regulation of vessel
traffic in the vicinity of military cargo
loading facilities in the navigable waters
of the United States. The security zones
also exclude persons and vessels from
the immediate vicinity of these facilities
during military cargo loading and
unloading operations. In addition, the
regulation establishes requirements for
all vessels to obtain permission of the
COTP or Designated Representative,
including the Vessel Traffic Service
(VTS), to enter, move within, or exit
these security zones when they are
enforced. Entry into this zone is
prohibited unless otherwise exempted
or excluded under 33 CFR 165.1321 or
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port or Designated Representative.
This notice is issued under authority
of 33 CFR 165.1321 and 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
In addition to this notice in the Federal
Register, the Coast Guard will provide
the maritime community with
notification of this enforcement period
via marine information broadcasts and
on-scene assets. If the COTP determines
that the regulated area need not be
enforced for the full duration stated in
this notice, a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners may be used to grant general
permission to enter the regulated area.

SUMMARY:
Correction
In the Federal Register of August 6,
2013 (78 FR 47980), we make the
following correction to the Race to the
Top—District Program notice of final
priorities, requirements, definitions, and
selection criteria:
E:\FR\FM\05SER1.SGM
05SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 172 / Thursday, September 5, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
On page 48003, in the first column,
before the heading ‘‘Intergovernmental
Review,’’ add a new heading, Waiver of
Delayed Effective Date under the
Congressional Review Act, and the
following three paragraphs:
These final priorities, requirements,
definitions, and selection criteria have
been determined to be a major rule for
purposes of the Congressional Review
Act (CRA) (5 U.S.C. 801, et seq.).
Generally, under the CRA, a major rule
takes effect 60 days after the date on
which the rule is published in the
Federal Register. Section 808(2) of the
CRA, however, provides that any rule
which an agency for good cause finds
(and incorporates the finding and a brief
statement of reasons therefore in the
rule issued) that notice and public
procedure thereon are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest, shall take effect at such time as
the Federal agency promulgating the
rule determines.
These final priorities, requirements,
definitions, and selection criteria are
needed to implement the Race to the
Top—District program and run the
competition in FY 2013. The
Department must make awards no later
than December 31, 2013, or the funds
will lapse. To ensure that we do so, the
Department established October 3, 2013,
as the deadline by which applicants
must submit their applications. This
will give applicants sufficient time to
submit high-quality applications (58
days), peers sufficient time to conduct a
thorough and rigorous review of
applications (approximately 45 days),
and the Department sufficient time to
make awards (approximately 40 days).
An effective date 60 days after
publication would fall after October 3,
and the priorities, requirements,
definitions, and selection criteria would
not be effective at the time applications
are due. Given the large number of
applications we expect, the need to
provide peers with sufficient time for
review, and the need to allow sufficient
time for the Department to make
awards, a later due date for applications
is not practicable. Accordingly, there is
good cause to waive the delayed
effective date under the Congressional
Review Act.
Dated: August 30, 2013.

Secretary of Education.

[Docket No. EP 714]
Information Required in Notices and
Petitions Containing Interchange
Commitments
AGENCY:
Surface Transportation Board,
DOT.
ACTION:
Final rules.
On November 1, 2012, the
Board issued a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPR) proposing rules that
would establish additional disclosure
requirements for notices and petitions
for exemption where the underlying
lease or line sale includes an
interchange commitment. Based on the
comments received and further
evaluation, the Board now adopts as
final the proposed rules, with
modifications that reduce the amount of
information required to be submitted.
The final rules are set forth below.
DATES: Effective date: These rules will
be effective on October 5, 2013.

Assistance for the hearing impaired is
available through the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board
modifies its existing rules regarding
notices and petitions for acquisition
exemption in which an underlying sale
or lease agreement includes an
interchange commitment with the
addition of certain filing requirements.
Additional information is contained in
the Board’s decision served on
September 5, 2013. To obtain a copy of
this decision, visit the Board’s Web site
at https://www.stb.dot.gov. Copies of the
decision may also be purchased by

Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and
Compliance and (202) 245–0238.
SUMMARY:
Paperwork Reduction and Regulatory
Flexibility
In the NPR, published in the Federal
Register at 77 FR 66165 on November 2,
2012, the Board sought comments
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501–3549, and
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR 1320.11,
regarding: (1) Whether the collection of
information as modified in the proposed
rule and further described in Appendix
B, is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700

Board, including whether the collection
has practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the Board’s burden estimates; (3) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
when appropriate. We received
comments regarding the Board’s burden
estimates and have addressed them in
the full decision.
The proposed rule modifications were
submitted to OMB for review as
required under the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3507(d), and 5 CFR 1320.11. No
substantive comments were received
from OMB. Unless renewed, OMB
approval for this collection expires
August 31, 2014. The OMB control
number is 2140–0016. The display of a
currently valid OMB control number for
this collection is required by law. Under
the PRA and 5 CFR 1320.11, an agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless the
collection displays a currently valid
OMB control number.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, generally
requires a description and analysis of
new rules that would have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Under
§ 605(b), an agency is not required to
perform an initial or final regulatory
flexibility analysis if it certifies that the
proposed or final rules will not have a
‘‘significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities.’’ In accordance
with § 605(b), we certify that the final
rules will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.1 The basis for
this determination is as follows.
The regulations adopted here will
affect all railroads filing notices and
petitions for exemption for sales and
leases that contain interchange
commitments. The filing railroad (or
respondent) is typically a small rail
carrier. Between May 2008, when the
Board began requiring the disclosure of
interchange commitments in notices
and petitions for exemption, and the
date of this decision, a total of 12
notices or petitions for exemption for
1 The Small Business Administration’s (SBA)
Office of Size Standards develops the numerical
definition of a small business. See 13 CFR 121.201.
The SBA has established a size standard for rail
transportation, stating that a line-haul railroad is
considered small if its number of employees is
1,500 or less, and that a short line railroad is
considered small if its number of employees is 500
or less. Id. (industry subsector 482).
