Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
determination is available in the docket
where indicated in the ADDRESSES
section of this preamble.
C. Collection of Information
This rule would call for no new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Government
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 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.

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 guides the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination
that this action is one of a category of
actions which do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This rule
simply promulgates the operating
regulations or procedures for
drawbridges. This action is categorically
excluded from further review, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e), of the
Instruction. A Memorandum for the
Record (MWR) supporting this

Protesters are asked to contact the

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The owner
of the bridge, the New Jersey
Department of Transportation, requested
a temporary deviation in order to
facilitate structural steel repairs at the
lift span.
The Routes 1 & 9 Bridge across the
Passaic River, mile 1.8, at Newark, New
Jersey is a vertical lift bridge with a
vertical clearance of 40 feet at mean
high water and 45 feet at mean low
water in the closed position. The
existing drawbridge operating
regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.739(b).
This temporary deviation will allow
the Routes 1 & 9 Bridge to remain in the
closed position from 12:01 a.m. on
November 20, 2017 to 11:59 p.m. on
January 5, 2018. The waterway users are
seasonal recreational vessels and
commercial vessels of various sizes.
Coordination with waterway users
indicated no objection to the proposed
closure of the draw. Vessels that can
pass under the bridge without an
opening may do so at all times. The
bridge will not be able to open for
emergencies. There is no alternate route
for vessels to pass.
The Coast Guard will also inform the
users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so vessel operators may
arrange their transits to minimize any

Procedural Regulations for the
Copyright Royalty Board Regarding
Electronic Filing of Claims;
Corrections
Copyright Royalty Board (CRB),
Library of Congress.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
AGENCY:
On June 13, 2017, the
Copyright Royalty Judges revised their
rules regarding filing of claims. That
document inadvertently added a
requirement that filers of joint DART
claims include addresses and email
addresses for all claimants. Interested
parties filed a petition to amend asking
the Judges to remove the requirement
because the proposed rule did not
include it. This document corrects the
final regulations to remove the
requirement.
SUMMARY:
Effective November 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
22, 2017, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, AARC,
and HFA petitioned the Copyright
Royalty Judges to amend the rule
regarding filing of DART joint claims, 82
FR 27016, because the proposed rule
did not discuss a change requiring
addresses and email addresses of all
claimants listed in joint claims, and the
new requirement places a burden upon

the petitioning parties that was likely
unintended.
The preamble to the proposed rule, 82
FR 14167, addressed the purpose of the
revisions to the rules: (1) Changes were
necessary due to implementation of an
electronic filing system, and (2)
consolidation of rules was necessary to
streamline the regulations regarding
cable and satellite claims. The preamble
also stated that the rules regarding
DART claims would be relocated, but it
did not mention any other changes to
the DART rules. In the final rule, the
Judges mistakenly added a requirement
that filers include in the content of joint
DART claims the addresses and email
addresses of all listed claimants.
The petitioners argue that if the rule
stands they will not be able to file joint
claims for their clients because of
confidentiality restrictions regarding
release of address information. Had the
Judges proposed a change in the rule to
require addresses and email addresses,
the petitioners would have submitted a
comment objecting to that requirement.
In light of the fact that the claims
filing period for DART starts in less than
two months, the Judges do not intend to
impose a greater burden on the
petitioners than in past filing periods.
They remove the requirement for
claimant addresses and email addresses
from the regulations governing the
content of joint DART claims.
