If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. C. Collection of Information This 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 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 rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does 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 rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES 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 rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. F. Environment We have analyzed this 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:11 Jul 03, 2017 Jkt 241001 Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have determined 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 rule involves a safety zone lasting one hour that will prohibit entry within 700 feet of the launch area for the fireworks display. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. A Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) supporting this determination is available in the docket where indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 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. List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165 Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and record keeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 6 and January 19, 2017, the 
Department announced dates by which institutions subject to the 
Department's GE regulations must comply with certain provisions of the 
GE regulations relating to the submission of alternate earnings appeals 
and disclosure requirements. On March 6, 2017, the Department announced 
that it was allowing additional time, until July 1, 2017, to comply 
with those provisions. On June 16, 2017, the Department announced its 
intention to negotiate issues related to gainful employment.
    Consistent with the Department's March 6, 2017 announcement, by 
July 1, 2017, institutions must comply with the requirement in 34 CFR 
668.412(c) to provide a completed disclosure template, or a link 
thereto, on its GE program Web pages. The revised template is available 
for use at https://www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/reg/hearulemaking/2009/negreg-summerfall.html. The Department believes that it should evaluate 
the utility of these disclosures to students and the implementation of 
this requirement prior to requiring institutions to include the 
disclosure template, or a link thereto, in their GE program promotional 
materials and to directly distribute the disclosure template to 
prospective students under 34 CFR 668.412(d) and (e). Moreover, the 
Department expects to further review these requirements as part of its 
review of the GE regulations and their implementation, including 
through negotiated rulemaking. Accordingly, the Department is allowing 
institutions additional time--until July 1, 2018--to comply with the 
provisions in 34 CFR 668.412(d) and (e).
    The Department also extends the deadline for all programs to file 
alternate earnings appeals in light of the Court Order. We will issue a

these comments in determining whether to take any future action in 
connection with the implementation of the disclosure requirements.
