Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 127 / Thursday, July 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential
economic, environmental, public health
and safety, and other advantages;
distributive impacts; and equity). The
Agency believes that this final rule is
not a significant regulatory action as
defined under Executive Order 12866.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act
requires Agencies to analyze regulatory
options that would minimize any
significant impact of a rule on small
entities. Because this final rule generally
increases flexibility for safety testing
and would result in the reduction of
certain regulatory burdens and does not
add any new regulatory responsibilities,
the Agency certifies that the final rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Section 202(a) of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires
that Agencies prepare a written
statement, which includes an
assessment of anticipated costs and
benefits, before proposing ‘‘any rule that
includes any Federal mandate that may
result in the expenditure by State, local,
and tribal governments, in the aggregate,
or by the private sector, of $100,000,000
or more (adjusted annually for inflation)
in any one year.’’ The current threshold
after adjustment for inflation is $144
million, using the most current (2014)
Implicit Price Deflator for the Gross
Domestic Product. FDA does not expect
this final rule to result in any 1-year
expenditure that would meet or exceed
this amount.
This final rule amends the biologics
regulations by removing the GST
requirements for biological products
found in §§ 610.11, 610.11a and
680.3(b). FDA is finalizing this action
because the current codified GST
regulations are duplicative of
requirements that are also specified in
biologics licenses, or are no longer
necessary or appropriate to help ensure
the safety, purity, and potency of
licensed biological products. The
removal of the GST regulations for
biological products, however, would not
remove GST requirements specified in
individual BLAs. All manufacturers that
currently conduct a GST are already
required, as part of the standards
specified in their BLAs, to perform the
GST and would thus continue to be
required to perform the GST unless the
BLA were revised to eliminate or
modify the test through a supplement in
accordance with § 601.12. Because this
rule would impose no additional
regulatory burdens, this regulation is
not anticipated to result in any
compliance costs and the economic
impact is expected to be minimal.

VIII. The Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995
PART 601—LICENSING
1. The authority citation for 21 CFR
part 601 continues to read as follows:
■
This final rule refers to previously
approved collections of information that
are subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The
collections of information in § 601.12
have been approved under OMB control
number 0910–0338. Therefore, FDA
tentatively concludes that the
requirements in this document are not
subject to review by OMB because they
do not constitute a ‘‘new collection of
information’’ under the PRA.
IX. Environmental Impact
The Agency has determined under 21
CFR 25.30(h) that this action is of a type
that does not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. Therefore,
neither an environmental assessment
nor an environmental impact statement
is required.

X. Federalism
§ 610.11
FDA has analyzed this final rule in
accordance with the principles set forth
in Executive Order 13132. FDA has
determined that the rule does not
contain policies that would have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the
National Government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Accordingly, the
Agency has concluded that the rule does
not contain policies that have
federalism implications as defined in
the Executive order and, consequently,
a federalism summary impact statement
is not required.

Modification of Category XI.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1,
2014, the Department published a final
rule revising Category XI of the USML,
79 FR 37535, effective December 30,
2014. This final rule, consistent with the
two prior proposed rules for USML
Category XI (78 FR 45017, July 25, 2013
and 77 FR 70958, November 28, 2012),
revised paragraph (b) of Category XI to
clarify the extent of the control and
maintain the existing scope of control
on items described in paragraph (b) and
the directly related software described
in paragraph (d). The Department has
determined that exporters may read the
revised control language to exclude
certain intelligence analytics software
that has been and remains controlled on
the USML. Therefore, the Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State for Defense
Trade Controls determined that it is in
the interest of the security of the United
States to temporarily revise USML
Category XI paragraph (b), pursuant to
the provisions of 22 CFR 126.2, while a
long term solution is developed. The
Department will publish any permanent
revision to USML Category XI paragraph
(b) addressing this issue as a proposed
rule for public comment.
This temporary revision clarifies that
the scope of control in existence prior
to December 30, 2014 for USML
paragraph (b) and directly related
software in paragraph (d) remains the
same. This clarification is achieved by
reinserting the words ‘‘analyze and
produce information from’’ and by
adding software to the description of
items controlled. In effect, this rule
modifies USML Category XI paragraph
(b) until December 29, 2015.

The Department is publishing this
rule as a final rule based upon good
cause, and its determination that
delaying the effect of this rule during a
period of public comment would be
impractical, unnecessary and contrary
to public interest. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).

In addition, the Department is of the
opinion that controlling the import and
export of defense articles and services is
a foreign affairs function of the United
States Government and that rules
implementing this function are exempt
from sections 553 (rulemaking) and 554
(adjudications) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA).
not have tribal implications, will not
impose substantial direct compliance
costs on Indian tribal governments, and
will not preempt tribal law.
Accordingly, the requirements of
Executive Order 13175 do not apply to
this rulemaking.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rulemaking does not impose or
revise any information collections
subject to 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
Since the Department is of the
opinion that this rule is exempt from the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553, there is no
requirement for an analysis under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rulemaking does not involve a
mandate that will result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any year and it will not significantly
or uniquely affect small governments.
Therefore, no actions were deemed
necessary under the provisions of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996
The Department does not believe this
rulemaking is a major rule under the
criteria of 5 U.S.C. 804.
Executive Orders 12372 and 13132
This rulemaking does not have
sufficient federalism implications to
require consultations or warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary
impact statement. The regulations
implementing Executive Order 12372
regarding intergovernmental
consultation on Federal programs and
activities do not apply to this
rulemaking.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
The Department believes that benefits
of the rulemaking outweigh any costs,
which are estimated to be insignificant.
It is the Department’s position that this
rulemaking is not a significant rule
under the criteria of Executive Order
12866, and is consistent with the
provisions of Executive Order 13563.
The Department of State has reviewed
this rulemaking in light of sections 3(a)
and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 to
eliminate ambiguity, minimize
litigation, establish clear legal
standards, and reduce burden.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
TFR Temporary Final Rule
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing
so would be impracticable and contrary
to the public interest. The final details
for this event were not known to the
Coast Guard until there was insufficient
time remaining before the event to
publish an NPRM. Thus, delaying the
effective date of this rule to wait for a
comment period to run would be
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest because it would inhibit the
Coast Guard’s ability to protect
spectators and vessels from the hazards
associated with a maritime fireworks
display. Therefore, under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for making this
temporary rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. For the same reasons
discussed above, waiting for a 30 day
notice period to run would be
impracticable.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis and authorities for this
rule are found in 33 U.S.C. 1231, 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50
U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1,
6.04–6, and 160.5; Public Law 107–295,
116 Stat. 2064; and Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1, which collectively authorize the
Coast Guard to establish and define
regulatory safety zones.
Between 9:15 p.m. and 10 p.m. on
July 5, 2015, a fireworks display will be
held on the shoreline of the Saint
Lawrence River on Heart Island in
Alexandria Bay, NY. It is anticipated
that numerous vessels will be in the
immediate vicinity of the launch point.
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
The Captain of the Port Buffalo has
determined that such a launch
proximate to a gathering of watercraft
pose a significant risk to public safety
and property. Such hazards include
premature and accidental detonations,
dangerous projectiles, and falling or
burning debris.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
With the aforementioned hazards in
mind, the Captain of the Port Buffalo
has determined that this temporary
safety zone is necessary to ensure the
safety of spectators and vessels during
the Alexandria Bay Chamber of
Commerce fireworks display. This zone
will be enforced from 9:15 p.m. until 10
p.m. on July 5, 2015. This zone will
encompass all waters of the Saint
Lawrence River, Heart Island,
Alexandria Bay, NY within an 800-foot
radius of position 44°20′38.5″ N and
075°55′19.1″ W (NAD 83).
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring
within the safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port Buffalo or his designated on-scene
representative. The Captain of the Port
or his designated on-scene
representative may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive
orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders.
We conclude that this rule is not a
significant regulatory action because we
anticipate that it will have minimal
impact on the economy, will not
interfere with other agencies, will not
adversely alter the budget of any grant
or loan recipients, and will not raise any
novel legal or policy issues. The safety
zone created by this rule will be
relatively small and enforced for a
relatively short time. Also, the safety
zone is designed to minimize its impact
on navigable waters. Furthermore, the
safety zone has been designed to allow

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2014, the Department published a
final rule revising Category XI of the USML, 79 FR 37535, effective
December 30, 2014. This final rule, consistent with the two prior
proposed rules for USML Category XI (78 FR 45017, July 25, 2013 and 77
FR 70958, November 28, 2012), revised paragraph (b) of Category XI to
clarify the extent of the control and maintain the existing scope of
control on items described in paragraph (b) and the directly related
software described in paragraph (d). The Department has determined that
exporters may read the revised control language to exclude certain
intelligence analytics software that has been and remains controlled on
the USML. Therefore, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for
Defense Trade Controls determined that it is in the interest of the
security of the United States to temporarily revise USML Category XI
paragraph (b), pursuant to the provisions of 22 CFR 126.2, while a long
term solution is developed. The Department will publish any permanent
revision to USML Category XI paragraph (b) addressing this issue as a
proposed rule for public comment.
This temporary revision clarifies that the scope of control in
existence prior to December 30, 2014 for USML paragraph (b) and
directly related software in paragraph (d) remains the same. This
clarification is achieved by reinserting the words ``analyze and
produce information from'' and by adding software to the description of
items controlled. In effect, this rule modifies USML Category XI
paragraph (b) until December 29, 2015.
