ACTION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
The Coast Guard is proposing
to update the special local regulations
and permanent safety zones in Coast
Guard Sector Northern New England
Captain of the Port Zone for annual
recurring marine events. When
enforced, these proposed special local
regulations and safety zones would
restrict vessels from portions of water
areas during certain annually recurring
events. The proposed special local
regulations and safety zones are
intended to expedite public notification
and ensure the protection of the
maritime public and event participants
from the hazards associated with certain
maritime events. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before May 15, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2016–0998 using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at https://
www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public
Participation and Request for
Comments’’ portion of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
instructions on submitting comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have questions on this proposed
rulemaking, call or email Chief Marine
Science Technician Chris Bains, Sector
Northern New England Waterways

Guard; telephone 207–347–5003, email

SUMMARY:
I. Table of Abbreviations
CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
E.O. Executive order
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
NAD 83 North American Datum of 1983
Pub. L. Public Law
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
Swim events, fireworks displays, and
marine events are held on an annual
recurring basis on the navigable waters
within the Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England COTP Zone. The Coast
Guard has established special local
regulations, regulated areas, and safety
zones for these annual recurring events
on a case by case basis to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and
event participants from the hazards
associated with these events. In the past,
the Coast Guard has not received public
comments or concerns regarding the
impact to waterway traffic from the
Coast Guard’s regulations associated
PO 00000
Frm 00015

with these annually recurring events.
Known events were assessed for their
likelihood to recur in subsequent years
or to discontinue, and were added to or
deleted from the tables accordingly. In
addition, minor changes to existing
events were made to ensure the
accuracy of event details. The purpose
of this rulemaking is to reduce
administrative overhead, expedite
public notification of events, and ensure
the protection of the maritime public
during marine events in the Sector
Northern New England area.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed rule would update the
tables of annual recurring events in the
existing regulation for the Coast Guard
Sector Northern New England COTP
Zone, deleting outdated zones and
providing updated information on dates,
times, and locations. The tables provide
the event name, sponsor, and type, as
well as approximate times, dates, and
locations of the events. Advanced
public notification of specific times,
dates, regulated areas, and enforcement
periods for each event will be provided
through appropriate means, which may
include, but are not limited to, the Local
Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners, or a Notice of Enforcement
published in the Federal Register at
least 30 days prior to the event date. If
an event does not have a date and time
listed in this regulation, then the precise
dates and times of the enforcement
period for that event will be announced
through a Local Notice to Mariners and,
if time permits, a Notice of Enforcement
in the Federal Register.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
E.O.s 12866 (‘‘Regulatory Planning
and Review’’) and 13563 (‘‘Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review’’)
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and equity.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance
of quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules,
and of promoting flexibility. Executive
Order 13771 (‘‘Reducing Regulation and
E:\FR\FM\13APP1.SGM
13APP1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 70 / Thursday, April 13, 2017 / Proposed Rules
nlaroche on DSK30NT082PROD with PROPOSALS
Controlling Regulatory Costs’’), directs
agencies to reduce regulation and
control regulatory costs and provides
that ‘‘for every one new regulation
issued, at least two prior regulations be
identified for elimination, and that the
cost of planned regulations be prudently
managed and controlled through a
budgeting process.’’
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has not designated this proposed
rule a significant regulatory action
under section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has not
reviewed it.
As this proposed rule is not a
significant regulatory action, this
proposed rule is exempt from the
requirements of Executive Order 13771.
See OMB’s Memorandum titled
‘‘Interim Guidance Implementing
Section 2 of the Executive Order of
January 30, 2017 titled ‘Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs’ ’’ (February 2, 2017).
We expect the economic impact of
this proposed rule to be minimal. This
regulation may have an impact on the
general public, but that potential impact
will likely be minimized for the
following reason: The Coast Guard is
only modifying an existing regulation to
account for updated information.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires federal agencies to consider the
potential impact of regulations on small
entities during rulemaking. The term
‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the safety
zones or special local regulations may
be small entities, for the reasons stated
in section IV.A above this proposed rule
would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:43 Apr 12, 2017
Jkt 241001
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this proposed rule. If the
rule would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will
not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of
the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule will not call for a
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Governments
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect 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. We have
analyzed this proposed rule under that
Order and have determined that it is
consistent with the fundamental
federalism principles and preemption
requirements described in Executive
Order 13132.
Also, this proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have
a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes.
If you believe this proposed rule has
implications for federalism or Indian
tribes, please contact the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this
proposed rule would not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.

F. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023–01
and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have made a
preliminary determination that this
action is one of a category of actions that
do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human
environment. This proposed rule
involves water activities including
swimming events and fireworks
displays and may be categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g)(Safety Zones) and
(34)(h)(Special Local Regulations) of
Figure 2–1 of Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist is
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this
proposed rule.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places, or vessels.
V. Public Participation and Request for
Comments
We view public participation as
essential to effective rulemaking, and
will consider all comments and material
received during the comment period.
Your comment can help shape the
outcome of this rulemaking. If you
submit a comment, please include the
docket number for this rulemaking,
indicate the specific section of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:28 Apr 12, 2017
Jkt 241001
VA has promulgated a list of
permissible charges and fees a borrower
may be charged or may pay incident to
obtaining a VA-guaranteed home loan.
See 38 CFR 36.4313. In 1948, VA
published its rule regulating charges
and fees which was codified at the
former 38 CFR 36.4312. See 13 FR 7275,
Nov. 27, 1948. That rule set forth the
costs and expenses that loan proceeds
could be used to pay, but was silent on
whether a veteran might be allowed to
pay such costs and expenses out of his
or her own cash reserves. Id. Under the
rule, borrowers could use proceeds from
the loan to pay any cost or expense
normally paid under local lending
customs, except for certain brokerage
and service charges. Id.
In 1954, VA substantially altered the
rule’s regulatory scheme. Instead of
permitting lenders to charge costs and
expenses normally paid under local
lending customs, VA restricted the types
of charges and fees veterans were
allowed to pay by expressly
enumerating the types allowed. See 19
FR 6717, Oct. 19, 1954. VA instituted
this rule amendment in order to protect
veterans from what are commonly
known as ‘‘junk fees’’.
The current charges and fees rule,
now codified at 38 CFR 36.4313, is
substantially similar to the 1954
version. While VA has amended the rule
to modify the types of permissible
charges and fees in the intervening
years, the rule still retains the express
enumeration scheme established by the
1954 version. In other words, the
current rule protects veterans from
having to satisfy any charge or fee not
expressly allowed by the schedule
codified at 38 CFR 36.4313(d). The rule,
however, does allow a lender to charge
a veteran, and for the veteran to pay, an
origination fee of up to 1 percent of the
loan amount, provided that the 1
percent fee be charged in lieu of all
other fees permitted by the schedule.
See 38 CFR 36.4313(d)(2). Compared
with a conventional housing loan
transaction, the fees the rule permits to
be charged to veterans are relatively
limited. Consequently, in transacting a
sale with a VA-guaranteed loan
borrower, sellers and lenders must bear
many of the customary real estate
transaction expenses.
Since implementation, the rule has
protected many veterans from having to
incur unreasonable closing costs.
However, the home buying process has
changed significantly since VA last
implemented substantive changes to the
permissible fee schedule. In recent
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
years, some veterans and their
representatives have complained to VA
that certain provisions of the rule can be
detrimental to veterans’ bargaining
position during real estate negotiations.
These parties have asserted that VAguaranteed loan borrowers are
sometimes unable to compete with other
offerors whose financing options are not
restricted by similar regulatory
constraints. VA recognizes that these
constraints can contribute to sellers’
decisions to accept other offers or lead
lenders to charge higher interest rates to
offset losses.
VA will continue to safeguard the best
interests of veteran homebuyers by
protecting them from excessive and
unreasonable closing costs. However,
VA recognizes that an overly restrictive
list of permissible charges and fees
might, in certain circumstances,
motivate market participants to avoid
financing or selling homes to veterans.
II. Questions for Comment
In order to strike the appropriate
balance between making it easier for
veterans to utilize their home loan
benefits and protecting them from
unreasonable charges and fees, VA is
considering ways to revise the list of
acceptable charges and fees specified by
the schedule codified at 38 CFR
36.4313(d). VA invites responses to the
following questions:
1. What are ways that VA can protect
veterans from incurring excessive
closing costs, without being overly
restrictive?
2. Under the current rule, VA
distinguishes between a ‘‘fee’’ and a
‘‘charge’’ but does not define the terms.
VA invites comments as to whether the
public finds the distinction meaningful.
Should VA eliminate the distinction? If
not, how should VA define the terms?
3. Does the term ‘‘origination fee’’
accurately reflect what a borrower
would pay to a lender in order to
originate a loan? What do veterans and
lenders view as the purpose of an
origination fee?
4. How should VA identify which
closing costs are acceptable for the
veteran to pay, which are acceptable for
another party but not a veteran to pay,
and which, if any, should be prohibited?
5. To what extent, if at all, should VA
limit third-party charges or fees to the
actual costs of the service provided?
Alternatively, should VA permit
borrowers, sellers, and lenders to
negotiate their own bargains?

RIN 1625-AA08; AA00
Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine
Events Held in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of
the Port Zone
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to update the special local
regulations and permanent safety zones in Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England Captain of the Port Zone for annual recurring marine
events. When enforced, these proposed special local regulations and
safety zones would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during
certain annually recurring events. The proposed special local
regulations and safety zones are intended to expedite public
notification and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event
participants from the hazards associated with certain maritime events.
We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 15, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2016-0998 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
instructions on submitting comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed
rulemaking, call or email Chief Marine Science Technician Chris Bains,

Pub. L. Public Law
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard
Sector Northern New England COTP Zone. The Coast Guard has established
special local regulations, regulated areas, and safety zones for these
annual recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these events. In the past, the Coast Guard has
not received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to
waterway traffic from the Coast Guard's regulations associated with
these annually recurring events. Known events were assessed for their
likelihood to recur in subsequent years or to discontinue, and were
added to or deleted from the tables accordingly. In addition, minor
changes to existing events were made to ensure the accuracy of event
details. The purpose of this rulemaking is to reduce administrative
overhead, expedite public notification of events, and ensure the
protection of the maritime public during marine events in the Sector
Northern New England area.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed rule would update the tables of annual recurring
events in the existing regulation for the Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England COTP Zone, deleting outdated zones and providing updated
information on dates, times, and locations. The tables provide the
event name, sponsor, and type, as well as approximate times, dates, and
locations of the events. Advanced public notification of specific
times, dates, regulated areas, and enforcement periods for each event
will be provided through appropriate means, which may include, but are
not limited to, the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners, or a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal Register
at least 30 days prior to the event date. If an event does not have a
date and time listed in this regulation, then the precise dates and
times of the enforcement period for that event will be announced
through a Local Notice to Mariners and, if time permits, a Notice of
Enforcement in the Federal Register.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
E.O.s 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and 13563
(``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') direct agencies to
assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and,
if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that
maximize net benefits including potential economic, environmental,
public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing Regulation and
[[Page 17783]]
Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to reduce regulation
and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new
regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for
elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently
managed and controlled through a budgeting process.''
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this
proposed rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has not reviewed it.
As this proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action, this
proposed rule is exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
See OMB's Memorandum titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2
of the Executive Order of January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation
and Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal.
This regulation may have an impact on the general public, but that
potential impact will likely be minimized for the following reason: The
Coast Guard is only modifying an existing regulation to account for
updated information.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zones or special local regulations may be small entities, for
the reasons stated in section IV.A above this proposed rule would not
have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves water
activities including swimming events and fireworks displays and may be
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g)(Safety
Zones) and (34)(h)(Special Local Regulations) of Figure 2-1 of
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary environmental analysis
checklist is available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.
V. Public Participation and Request for Comments
We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
