Background The RESTORE Act makes funds available for the restoration and protection of the Gulf Coast region through a new trust fund in the Treasury of the United States, known as the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund. The trust fund will contain 80 percent of the administrative and civil penalties paid after July 6, 2012, under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. One component of the Act, the Direct Component, sets aside 35 percent of the penalties paid into the trust fund for grants to the State of Alabama, the State of Mississippi, the State of Texas, the State of Louisiana and 20 Louisiana parishes, and 23 Florida counties. The Direct Component provides an equal amount to each of the five Gulf Coast States, and allocates 30 percent of Louisiana’s share to the 20 eligible parishes. On September 6, 2013, Treasury published a proposed rule to implement the Act (78 FR 54801). The proposed rule identified the 20 Louisiana parishes eligible to receive funds under the Direct Component, but not the share of each parish. The Act provides a weighted formula for determining each parish’s share. In the notice accompanying the proposed rule, Treasury requested comments on the information and methodology necessary for determining each parish’s share. As discussed below, Treasury has considered these comments and other information, and now proposes regulations that allocate a percentage to each eligible Louisiana parish under the Direct Component. PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 44325 II. This Proposed Rule Under the Direct Component, each eligible Louisiana parish receives a share based on a weighted formula of three elements: (a) 40 percent based on the weighted average of miles of parish shoreline oiled, (b) 40 percent based on the weighted average of the population of the parish, and (c) 20 percent based on the weighted average of the land mass of the parish. 33 U.S.C. 1321(t)(1)(D)(i). In their comments on the proposed rule, the State of Louisiana and one parish proposed that Treasury include additional factors, in order to account for the degree of oiling, measures of re-oiling, the type of shoreline that experienced oiling, and other factors. They suggested that an approach which takes these factors into account would provide a more comprehensive assessment of injury and fairer allocation of funds. Louisiana did not describe how these additional factors should be weighed or provide a statutory basis for applying these new criteria, and noted that ‘‘creating a consistent and fair metric based on these factors will be very difficult.’’ 1 Treasury is proposing regulations that base the allocation for each eligible parish solely on the factors listed in the Act for the Direct Component. The Act clearly identifies just three factors for determining each parish’s share. If Treasury added additional factors and a new formula for weighing them in its regulation, the responsibility for allocating the trust fund would shift from Congress to Treasury. Nothing in the statute or the legislative history indicates that Congress intended Treasury to make its own determination about the relative harm suffered by individual parishes. The touchstone for Treasury’s proposed regulation, therefore, is the statute itself. The first statutory factor is the weighted average of miles of the parish shoreline oiled. For this factor, Treasury used data from the United States Coast Guard showing the number of miles of parish shoreline oiled between 2010, the initial year of response to the Deepwater Horizon spill, and July 6, 2012, the date of enactment for the RESTORE Act. According to the Coast Guard, the data were gathered using the Shoreline Clean-up Assessment Technique (SCAT), a systematic method for surveying an affected shoreline after an oil spill. SCAT was performed under the structure of the Gulf Coast Incident Management Team (GC–IMT), the entity 1 Letter from Garret Graves, State of Louisiana, to Dep’t of the Treasury (Nov. 5, 2013) at 6 (available at www.regulations.gov under number Treas-DO– 2013–0005–0055).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Explanation of Provisions

    Temporary regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of this 
issue of the Federal Register amend 26 CFR Part 1. The temporary 
regulations modify the effective date provision for TD 9638 [78 FR 
62418], published on October 22, 2013, which provided final regulations 
that altered the operation of certain of the public group segregation 
rules under section 382. The temporary regulations apply to stock 
acquired by Treasury pursuant to certain programs under EESA 
(Programs). In particular, the temporary regulations apply to the 
subsequent sale by Treasury of that stock. The text of those 
regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The 
preamble to the temporary regulations explains the amendments.

Special Analyses

    It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is 
not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 
12866, as supplemented by Executive Order 13563. Therefore, a 
regulatory assessment is not required. It is hereby certified that 
these regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. This certification is based on 
the fact that, if the regulations apply to any small entities, the 
effect will not be to increase their tax liability, but to prevent a 
potential increase in tax liability that might otherwise occur. 
Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. Pursuant to 
section 7805(f) of the Code, these regulations have been submitted to 
the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for 
comment on their impact on small business.

Comments and Requests for a Public Hearing

    Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any written (a signed original and eight 
(8) copies) or electronic copies that are submitted timely to the IRS.

the proposed rules and how they can be made easier to understand. All 
comments will be made available for public inspection and copying at

comments. If a public hearing is scheduled, notice of the date, time, 
and place for the public hearing will be published in the Federal 
Register.
