History
The FAA published a final rule in the
Federal Register (82 FR 19187, April 26,
2017) amending Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
amending Class E Airspace designated
as an extension to a Class D or Class E
surface area at Lewiston-Nez Perce
County Airport, Lewiston, ID; Pocatello
Regional Airport, Pocatello, ID; and
Joslin Field-Magic Valley Regional
Airport, Twin Falls, ID, by eliminating
the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) parttime status. Additionally, the action
updated the geographic coordinates of
these airports and the Pocatello VHF
Omnidirectional Radar Range Tactical
Air Navigation Aid (VORTAC), the
Twin Falls VORTAC, and American
Falls Airport listed in the associated
Class D and Class E airspace
descriptions for Pocatello Regional
Airport, and Joslin Field-Magic Valley
Regional Airport. The FAA found that
by updating the geographic coordinates
of the airports and navigation aids, the
charted boundaries of the airspace were
affected sufficiently to warrant full
consideration under the rulemaking
process. As a result, the final rule,
technical amendment is being
withdrawn.

amended Class E Airspace at LewistonNez Perce County Airport, Lewiston, ID;
Pocatello Regional Airport, Pocatello,

Regional Airport, Twin Falls, ID. The
FAA has determined that withdrawal of
the final rule, technical amendment is

ACTION: Final rule; notice of delay of
effectiveness for discharge requirements
with regard to U.S. Coast Guard
activities.
AGENCY:
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
expanded the boundaries of Gulf of the
Farallones National Marine Sanctuary
(now renamed Greater Farallones
National Marine Sanctuary or GFNMS)
and Cordell Bank National Marine
Sanctuary (CBNMS) to an area north
and west of their previous boundaries
with a final rule published on March 12,
2015. The final rule entered into effect
on June 9, 2015. At that time, NOAA
postponed the effectiveness of the
discharge requirements in both
sanctuaries’ regulations in the areas
added to GFNMS and CBNMS
boundaries in 2015 with regard to U.S.
Coast Guard activities for six months.
Since then, NOAA published three

documents to extend the postponement
of the discharge requirements to provide
adequate time for completion of an
environmental assessment, and
subsequent rulemaking, as appropriate.
The current extension would end on
June 9, 2017. This document extends
the postponement of the discharge
requirements for these activities for
another six months for the same
reasons.
DATES: The effectiveness for the
discharge requirements in both CBNMS
and GFNMS expansion areas with
regard to U.S. Coast Guard activities is
December 9, 2017.

relating to the expansion, including the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS), final management plans, and the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
December 1, 2015 (80 FR 74985), May
31, 2016 (81 FR 34268), and December
6, 2016 (81 FR 87803), to provide
adequate time for completion of an
environmental assessment and to
determine NOAA’s next steps. Without
further NOAA action, the discharge
regulations would become effective with
regard to USCG activities on June 9,
2017. However, NOAA needs more time
to develop alternatives for an
environmental assessment developed
pursuant to the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act.
Therefore, this document postpones the
effectiveness of the discharge
requirements in the expansion areas of
both sanctuaries with regard to USCG
activities for another six months, until
December 9, 2017. During this time,
NOAA will continue to consider how to
address USCG’s concerns and, among
other things, whether to exempt certain
USCG activities in sanctuary
regulations. The public, other federal
agencies, and interested stakeholders
will be given an opportunity to
comment on various alternatives that
are being considered. This will include
the opportunity to review any proposed
rule and related environmental analysis.
I. Background
On March 12, 2015, NOAA expanded
the boundaries of Gulf of the Farallones
National Marine Sanctuary (now
renamed Greater Farallones National
Marine Sanctuary or GFNMS) and
Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary
(CBNMS) to an area north and west of
their previous boundaries with a final
rule (80 FR 13078). The final rule
entered into effect on June 9, 2015 (80
FR 34047). In the course of the
rulemaking to expand GFNMS and
CBNMS, NOAA learned from U.S. Coast
Guard (USCG) that the discharge
regulations had the potential to impair
the operations of USCG vessels and
aircraft conducting law enforcement and
on-water training exercises in GFNMS
and CBNMS expansion areas. The USCG
supports national marine sanctuary
management by providing routine
surveillance and dedicated law
enforcement of the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) and sanctuary
regulations. To ensure that the March
12, 2015, rule did not undermine
USCG’s ability to perform its duties, at
that time, NOAA postponed the
effectiveness of the discharge
requirements in both sanctuaries’
regulations with regard to USCG
activities in the expansion areas for six
months. Three additional six-month
postponements of the effectiveness of
the discharge requirements were
published in the Federal Register on

A. National Environmental Policy Act
NOAA previously conducted an
environmental analysis under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) as part of the rulemaking
process leading to the expansion of
CBNMS and GFNMS, which addressed
regulations regarding the discharge of
any matter or material in the
sanctuaries. Potential environmental
impacts of the decision to postpone
effectiveness are sufficiently
encompassed within the impacts
analysis of the environmental baseline
and the no action alternative presented
in that analysis. Should NOAA decide
to amend the regulations governing
discharges for USGS activities in
CBNMS and GFNMS, any additional
environmental analysis required under
NEPA would be prepared and released
for public comment.
B. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Impact
This action has been determined to be
not significant for purposes of the
meaning of Executive Order 12866.
C. Administrative Procedure Act
The Assistant Administrator of
National Ocean Service (NOS) finds
good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
