ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
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 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 its
regulations to reflect the fees and
charges levied by the SLSMC in Canada
starting in the 2017 navigation season,
which are effective only in Canada. An
amendment to increase the minimum
charge per lock for those vessels that are
not pleasure craft or subject in Canada
to tolls under items 1 and 2 of the Tariff
for full or partial transit of the Seaway
will apply in the U.S. (See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.) The Tariff
of Tolls will become effective in Canada
on March 20, 2017.
DATES: This rule is effective on March
20, 2017.

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
proposing to revise 33 CFR 402.12,
‘‘Schedule of tolls’’, to reflect the fees
and charges levied by the SLSMC in
Canada beginning in the 2017
navigation season. With one exception,
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 was necessary on
these amendments.
The SLSDC is amending 33 CFR
402.12, ‘‘Schedule of tolls’’, to increase
the minimum charge per vessel per lock
for full or partial transit of the Seaway
from $27.46 to $28.01. This charge is for
vessels that are not pleasure craft or
subject in Canada to the tolls under
items 1 and 2 of the Tariff. This increase
is due to higher operating costs at the
locks.
A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was
published in the Federal Register (82
FR 1285) on January 5, 2017. No
comments were received during the
30-day notice and comment period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Evaluation
This regulation involves a foreign
affairs function of the United States and
therefore, Executive Order 12866 does
not apply and evaluation under the
Department of Transportation’s
Regulatory Policies and Procedures is
not required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Determination
I certify this regulation will not have
a significant economic impact on a
E:\FR\FM\03MRR1.SGM
03MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 41 / Friday, March 3, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
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 reg.) 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
proposal 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

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Region III announces the
deletion of a portion of the North Penn
Area 6 Superfund Site (Site) located in
Lansdale Borough, Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The deletion
affects approximately 6.5 acres located
at 135 East Hancock Street (the
‘‘Administrative Parcel’’). The NPL,
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is
an appendix of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). This partial
deletion pertains to the soils and
groundwater of the Administrative
Parcel portion of the Site. The other
portions of the Site will remain on the
NPL and are not being considered for
deletion as part of this action. The EPA
and the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, through the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection
(PADEP), have determined that all
appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than monitoring and
five-year reviews, have been completed.
However, the deletion of the
Administrative Parcel does not preclude
future actions under Superfund.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
portion of the Site to be deleted from the
NPL is approximately 6.5 acres located
at 135 East Hancock Street, within the
former Tate Andale Property of the
North Penn Area 6 Superfund Site,
Lansdale Borough, Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania. A Notice of Intent for
Partial Deletion for this Site was
published in the Federal Register (81
FR 94295) on December 23, 2016.
The closing date for comments on the
Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion was
January 23, 2017. Two public comments
were received, which expressed concern
regarding environmental risk and
groundwater contamination. EPA
responded to these comments by citing
the soil and groundwater cleanups that
have occurred, and the determination
that, for the Administrative Parcel, the
ADDRESSES:

remedial action objectives for the soil
and groundwater cleanups have been
met and no further Superfund response
actions are needed to protect human
health and the environment. A
responsiveness summary was prepared
and placed in both the docket, EPA–
HQ–SFUND–1989–0008, on
www.regulations.gov, and in the local
repositories listed above.
EPA maintains the NPL as the list of
sites that appear to present a significant
risk to public health, welfare, or the
environment. Deletion of a site from the
NPL does not preclude further remedial
action. Whenever there is a significant
release from a site deleted from the NPL,
the deleted site may be restored to the
NPL without application of the hazard
ranking system. Deletion of portions of
a site from the NPL does not affect
responsible party liability, in the
unlikely event that future conditions
warrant further actions.

SUMMARY: 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 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 its regulations to reflect the fees and
charges levied by the SLSMC in Canada starting in the 2017 navigation
season, which are effective only in Canada. An amendment to increase
the minimum charge per lock for those vessels that are not pleasure
craft or subject in Canada to tolls under items 1 and 2 of the Tariff
for full or partial transit of the Seaway will apply in the U.S. (See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.) The Tariff of Tolls will become effective
in Canada on March 20, 2017.
DATES: This rule is effective on March 20, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 proposing to revise 33 CFR 402.12,
``Schedule of tolls'', to reflect the fees and charges levied by the
SLSMC in Canada beginning in the 2017 navigation season. With one
exception, 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 was necessary on
these amendments.
The SLSDC is amending 33 CFR 402.12, ``Schedule of tolls'', to
increase the minimum charge per vessel per lock for full or partial
transit of the Seaway from $27.46 to $28.01. This charge is for vessels
that are not pleasure craft or subject in Canada to the tolls under
items 1 and 2 of the Tariff. This increase is due to higher operating
costs at the locks.
A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published in the Federal
Register (82 FR 1285) on January 5, 2017. No comments were received
during the 30-day notice and comment period.

Regulatory Evaluation
This regulation involves a foreign affairs function of the United
States and therefore, Executive Order 12866 does not apply and
evaluation under the Department of Transportation's Regulatory Policies
and Procedures is not required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Determination
I certify this regulation will not have a significant economic
impact on a
[[Page 12421]]
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 reg.)
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 proposal 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.
