Port Access Route Study: In the Chukchi Sea, Bering Strait and Bering Sea, 10137-10138 [2015-03859]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 37 / Wednesday, February 25, 2015 / Notices elaborate what is meant by the boundary of a facility conducting bunkering. In response, the Coast Guard provides that the boundaries of an LNG facility handling LNG should be based on the requirements for design and spacing in NFPA 59A as outlined in 33 CFR Part 127 and any risk or fire safety assessments that may be prepared for the specific operation. The boundary of each facility conducting bunkering should be based on details of the specific bunkering operation. Voluntary Policy The Coast Guard’s intent in issuing these policy letters is to assist the industry, public, Coast Guard, and other Federal and State regulators in applying existing statutory and regulatory requirements. Following the policy and guidance recommended in these policy letters is voluntary. The policy letters are not a substitute for applicable legal requirements nor are they regulations themselves. The policy letters, however, do contain references to existing requlations which may require certain action where applicable. The Coast Guard notes those instances where it discusses requirements under existing regulations instead of policy or guidance. Nothing in the policy letters and guidance they contain are meant to override or subvert the discretion of the COTP when addressing the unique safety and security concerns of an LNG operation. This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a). Dated: February 19, 2015. J.G. Lantz, Director of Commercial Regulations and Standards, U.S. Coast Guard.

Type of information collection: Revision of a currently approved information collection. Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) v5.0. Abstract: NFIRS was established in 1975 by the USFA as a cooperative effort of local, State, and Federal authorities to improve uniformity in fire incident reporting and to ensure that data are useable for fire protection planning and management. The program provides a well-established mechanism, using standardized reporting methods, PO 00000 to collect and analyze fire incident data at the Federal, State, and local levels with a myriad of life and property saving uses and benefits. Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal, and Federal Governments. Estimated Number of Respondents: 23,856. The number of respondents has increased by 856 since FEMA published the 60 day Federal Register notice on October 30, 2014 because of a clerical error. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 13,500,230. The annual burden hours decreased by 204,670 hours from the previous inventory due to discontinuation of use of NFIRS paper forms and a small decrease in the number of students receiving the NFIRS Program Management Training and Orientation. Estimated Cost: The estimated annual operations and maintenance costs to respondents or record keepers resulting from the collection of information is $13,915,000. The estimated annual cost to the Federal Government is $2,416,255. E:\FR\FM\25FEN1.SGM 25FEN1
