DLA ceased registering vehicles accessing DLA activities in November 2011 following policy direction from the Department of Defense. DoD Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 09–012, ‘‘Interim Policy Guidance for DoD Physical Access Control’’ (available at https:// www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/ Documents/DD/issuances/dtm/DTM-09012.pdf?ver=2018-08-23-074619-957), was published in September 2009 and defined new minimum standards for controlling access to DoD installations. Access control shifted from vehicle identification to personnel identification and validation of personnel identification credentials.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History Sector Hampton Roads leadership made the strategic decision to submit an Orgnization Modification Request to change the existing unit name from ‘‘Sector Hampton Roads Marine Insepction Zone and Captain of the Port Zone’’ (Sector Hampton Roads) to ‘‘Sector Virginia Marine Inspection Zone and Captain of the Port Zone’’ (Sector Virginia). The action was necessary to more accurately reflect the Sector’s geographic operational responsibility and jurisdiction as well as to elimante confusion and bolster community relations. From a strategic communications and community relations perspective, keeping the name ‘‘Sector Hampton Roads’’ created a unique challenge when working and coordinating efforts with communities, the media, and government officials outside of the Hampton Roads region. The name Sector Hampton Roads created confusion with outlying communities such as those in the Upper Middle Peninsulas of Virginia as well as the Eastern Shore of Virginia. By renaming the unit to ‘‘Sector Virginia,’’ it more appropriately identifies the unit to our federal, state, and local government agency partners, who cohesively service the state of Virginia, with the exception of the MarylandNational Capital Region. Also, the name change to ‘‘Sector Virginia’’ enhances communications and formal Coast Guard name recoginition with our port partners who attend statewide meetings PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 in support of the Area Maritime Security Committees, Area Committes and Harbor Safety Committees as well as coordinating incident response during natural disasters and National Special Security Events. The name change to ‘‘Sector Virginia’’ has no effect on the area of operation boundary lines or existing organizational structure. The purpose of this rulemaking is to align the text of Coast Guard regulations, with a change in the Coast Guard’s internal organization. Specifically, this rule amends 33 CFR 3.25–10, to reflect the changed sector name from ‘‘Sector Hampton Roads Marine Insepction Zone and Captain of the Port Zone’’ to ‘‘Sector Virginia Marine Inspection Zone and Captain of the Port Zone’’, and makes corresponding changes to 33 CFR 100.501, 165.501, 165.503, 165.504, 165.506, 165.518, and 165.550. We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this regulation. Under both 5 U.S.C. 553(b) (A) and (B), the Coast Guard finds that this rule is exempt from notice and comment rulemaking requirements because these changes involve rules of agency organization, and good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM because the changes made are all nonsubstantive. This rule consists only of organizational amendments. These changes will have no substantive effect on the public; therefore, it is unnecessary to publish an NPRM. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that, for the same reasons, good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. The rule makes non-substantive amendments to Coast Guard regulations, in order to align with a change in the Coast Guard’s internal organization. The amendment describes the name change from Sector Hampton Roads to Sector Virginia. This rule will have no substantive effect on the regulated public. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 14 U.S.C. 504(a)(2), as delegated, to establish, change the location of, maintain, and operate Coast Guard shore establishments. The rule is needed to reflect a change in the Coast Guard’s internal organization. IV. Regulatory Analyses We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and E:\FR\FM\06FER1.SGM 06FER1 lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with RULES Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 25 / Thursday, February 6, 2020 / Rules and Regulations 6805 Executive orders, and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). 1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures. A. Regulatory Planning and Review Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been designated a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. This regulatory action determination is based on the finding that the name change will have no substantive effect on the public. D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments G. Protest Activities 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 rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. For the reasons stated in section IV.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any member of the public, including ‘‘small entities.’’ Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency’s responsiveness to small business. 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:34 Feb 05, 2020 Jkt 250001 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 call or email 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 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 Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National 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 consists only of an organizational amendment. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L55 in Table 3– PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. Protesters are asked to call or email 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.

There are three bascule bridges operated by WISDOT and the City of Green Bay: Main Street Bridge, mile 1.58, provides 120 feet horizontal and 12 feet vertical clearance in the closed position; the Walnut Street Bridge, mile 1.81, provides 124 feet horizontal and 11 feet vertical clearance in the closed position; and the Tilleman Memorial Bridge, mile 2.27, provides 124 feet horizontal and 32 feet vertical clearance in the closed position. PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule The Coast Guard provided a 180 day comment period and received five comments. During the comment period the bridges were managed by WISDOT with city of Green Bay personnel operating the three bridges. As of December 1, 2019 Brown County began operating the bridges with personnel from the snow plow division. This prevented snow plow drivers from being laid off in the summer and drawtenders from being laid off in the winter. The current drawtenders lost their jobs unless they could obtain a commercial driver’s license to operate a snow plow in the winter. We believe this may have influenced some of the comments we received; however, below we address each comment provided: The first comment: ‘‘The Main Street Bridge was renamed the Ray Nitschke Memorial Bridge in 1998’’. We reached out to the State of Wisconsin and the City of Green Bay and asked them to send us a letter requesting the name change to be made and they have declined to do so. The second comment addressed several factors: ‘‘As long as vehicles are still crashing through the gates there should be a live presence, i.e., a Bridge Tender, on every bridge that is being operated.’’ We asked WISDOT for the last three years of vehicle incidents. There were zero incidents in 2017, two in 2018, and two in 2019. All three years indicated live drawtenders manning the bridges. We do not have any data from other remotely operated bridges to support the claim that remote bridges have a higher incidents of vehicles hitting barriers during the opening cycle of the bridge or that responses to vehicles hitting the barriers have been lessened. ‘‘Instead of the risk and cost of an experimental wireless remote operation, just establish a call-in period. By making Tilleman bridge a 4 hour call-in, 24–7, and by making Walnut and Nitschke bridges a 4 hour call-in from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., you could reduce the number of Bridge Tenders to 6 (half of what they have now). You would still have a live Bridge Tender on each bridge when they require an opening.’’ This suggested schedule would place an additional burden on the mariners. The wireless equipment is not experimental. It is a commercial grade wireless system developed for city wide municipal use with a 20 mile range. The third comment: ‘‘As a tour boat company we feel it is in the best interest of auto, pedestrian and boat traffic to keep bridgetenders at Main Street E:\FR\FM\06FER1.SGM 06FER1

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    Sector Hampton Roads leadership made the strategic decision to 
submit an Orgnization Modification Request to change the existing unit 
name from ``Sector Hampton Roads Marine Insepction Zone and Captain of 
the Port Zone'' (Sector Hampton Roads) to ``Sector Virginia Marine 
Inspection Zone and Captain of the Port Zone'' (Sector Virginia). The 
action was necessary to more accurately reflect the Sector's geographic 
operational responsibility and jurisdiction as well as to elimante 
confusion and bolster community relations. From a strategic 
communications and community relations perspective, keeping the name 
``Sector Hampton Roads'' created a unique challenge when working and 
coordinating efforts with communities, the media, and government 
officials outside of the Hampton Roads region. The name Sector Hampton 
Roads created confusion with outlying communities such as those in the 
Upper Middle Peninsulas of Virginia as well as the Eastern Shore of 
Virginia. By renaming the unit to ``Sector Virginia,'' it more 
appropriately identifies the unit to our federal, state, and local 
government agency partners, who cohesively service the state of 
Virginia, with the exception of the Maryland-National Capital Region. 
Also, the name change to ``Sector Virginia'' enhances communications 
and formal Coast Guard name recoginition with our port partners who 
attend statewide meetings in support of the Area Maritime Security 
Committees, Area Committes and Harbor Safety Committees as well as 
coordinating incident response during natural disasters and National 
Special Security Events. The name change to ``Sector Virginia'' has no 
effect on the area of operation boundary lines or existing 
organizational structure.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to align the text of Coast Guard 
regulations, with a change in the Coast Guard's internal organization. 
Specifically, this rule amends 33 CFR 3.25-10, to reflect the changed 
sector name from ``Sector Hampton Roads Marine Insepction Zone and 
Captain of the Port Zone'' to ``Sector Virginia Marine Inspection Zone 
and Captain of the Port Zone'', and makes corresponding changes to 33 
CFR 100.501, 165.501, 165.503, 165.504, 165.506, 165.518, and 165.550.
    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this 
regulation. Under both 5 U.S.C. 553(b) (A) and (B), the Coast Guard 
finds that this rule is exempt from notice and comment rulemaking 
requirements because these changes involve rules of agency 
organization, and good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM because 
the changes made are all non-substantive. This rule consists only of 
organizational amendments. These changes will have no substantive 
effect on the public; therefore, it is unnecessary to publish an NPRM. 
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that, for the same 
reasons, good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 
days after publication in the Federal Register. The rule makes non-
substantive amendments to Coast Guard regulations, in order to align 
with a change in the Coast Guard's internal organization. The amendment 
describes the name change from Sector Hampton Roads to Sector Virginia. 
This rule will have no substantive effect on the regulated public.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 14 U.S.C. 
504(a)(2), as delegated, to establish, change the location of, 
maintain, and operate Coast Guard shore establishments. The rule is 
needed to reflect a change in the Coast Guard's internal organization.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and 
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses 
based on a number of these statutes and

[[Page 6805]]

Executive orders, and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control 
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been 
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt 
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the finding that 
the name change will have no substantive effect on the public.

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 rule 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.
    For the reasons stated in section IV.A above, this rule will not 
have a significant economic impact on any member of the public, 
including ``small entities.''
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal 
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal 
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory 
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory 
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and 
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. 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 call or email 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 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 
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and 
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast 
Guard in complying with the National 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 consists only of 
an organizational amendment. It is categorically excluded from further 
review under paragraph L55 in Table 3-1 of U.S. Coast Guard 
Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. 
Protesters are asked to call or email 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.
