SLSMC. The SLSDC is revising its
regulations to reflect the fees and
charges currently being levied by the
SLSMC in Canada. The changes affect
the tolls for commercial vessels and are
applicable only in Canada. For
consistency, because these are under
international agreement joint
regulations, and to avoid confusion
among users of the Seaway, the SLSDC
finds that there is good cause to make
the U.S. version of the amendments
effective upon publication. (See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.)
DATES: This rule is effective on January
30, 2015.

The Saint
Lawrence Seaway Development
Corporation (SLSDC) and the St.
Lawrence Seaway Management
Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under
international agreement, jointly publish
and presently administer the St.
Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls
(Schedule of Fees and Charges in
Canada) in their respective jurisdictions.
The Tariff sets forth the level of tolls
assessed on all commodities and vessels
transiting the facilities operated by the
SLSDC and the SLSMC. The SLSDC is
revising 33 CFR 402.11, ‘‘Schedule of
tolls’’, to reflect the fees and charges
levied by the SLSMC in Canada and to
make corrections to various sections.
The changes affect the tolls for
commercial vessels and are applicable
only in Canada. The collection of tolls
by the SLSDC on commercial vessels
transiting the U.S. locks is waived by
law (33 U.S.C. 988a(a)). Accordingly, no
notice or comment is necessary on these
amendments.

Regulatory Flexibility Act
Determination
I certify this regulation will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls
primarily relate to commercial users of
the Seaway, the vast majority of whom
are foreign vessel operators. Therefore,
any resulting costs will be borne mostly
by foreign vessels.
Environmental Impact
This regulation does not require an
environmental impact statement under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(49 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.) because it is not
a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment.
Federalism
The Corporation has analyzed this
rule under the principles and criteria in
Executive Order 13132, dated August 4,
1999, and has determined that this rule
does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant a Federalism
Assessment.
Unfunded Mandates
The Corporation has analyzed this
rule under Title II of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104–4, 109 Stat. 48) and determined that
it does not impose unfunded mandates
on State, local, and tribal governments
and the private sector requiring a
written statement of economic and
regulatory alternatives.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This regulation has been analyzed
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 and does not contain new or
modified information collection
requirements subject to the Office of
Management and Budget review.
