Storm Specific Verification Reports as detailed under the established Sector New Orleans Maritime Hurricane Contingency Port Plan at https://homeport.uscg.mil/nola will also be collected. Need: Approval of the Hurricane Operations Plans by the Coast Guard ensures that facilities and vessels that choose to deviate from the RNA restrictions during enforcement and remain within certain areas of the RNA are able to do so safely and securely without presenting a threat to the flood protection system and possibly causing a breech leading to flooding in the Greater New Orleans area. Use: The Coast Guard will evaluate the information to confirm that the facilities and vessels have a plan in place that meets requirements to remain safely and securely within the RNA. Description of the Respondents: Waterfront facility and vessel owners and operators operating within the RNA. Number of Respondents: 15. Frequency of Response: Once in full and then annually to provide updated information based on changes in facility and vessel operations. Burden of Response: Under 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), the time, effort, and financial resources necessary to comply with the information required to deviate under this rule is excluded because it will be incurred in the normal course of business and activities. The vessel information, recordkeeping, insurance disclosure, mooring plans and certifications, and emergency contact information required to deviate from the RNA are not only usual and customary, but commonly required under selfimposed operating plans, insurance requirements, or facility requirements. Therefore, the information required is already maintained by the facilities and vessels as part of their day-to-day operations. Additionally, the Coast Guard received no comments indicating that this information presents a burden to the facilities and vessels and expects to receive no adverse comment to revising the existing OMB control no. 1625–0043 to include this rule. Estimate of Total Annual Burden: The estimated burden involved in providing the information required for deviation is 180 hours (12 hours per responding facility/vessel owner). However, under 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), the time, effort, and financial resources necessary to comply with the information required to deviate under this rule is excluded because it will be incurred in the normal course of business and activities. Therefore, the estimated burden for OMB control VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:28 Apr 16, 2014 Jkt 232001 number 1625–0043 is expected to remain unchanged. Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. Dated: April 1, 2014. K. S. Cook, Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background—Round 1 Promise Zones In his 2013 State of the Union address, President Obama announced the establishment of the Promise Zones initiative to partner with high-poverty communities across the country to create jobs, increase economic security, expand educational opportunities, increase access to quality, affordable housing, and improve public safety.1 On January 8, 2014, the President announced the first five Promise Zones, which are located in: San Antonio, TX; Philadelphia, PA; Los Angeles, CA; Southeastern Kentucky, KY; and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, OK. Each of these communities (three urban, one rural and one tribal) submitted a plan on how they will partner with local business and community leaders to make investments that reward hard work and expand opportunity. In exchange, the Federal government is helping these Promise Zone designees secure the resources and flexibility they need to achieve their goals.2 The first five Promise Zones were selected through a competitive process following an invitation to eligible communities to apply for a designation, which was issued on October 30, 2013 with an application deadline of November 26, 2013.3 The urban designations were conferred by HUD while the rural and tribal designations were conferred by USDA.
