Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 70 / Friday, April 10, 2020 / Proposed Rules
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 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 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 a temporary safety zone
lasting only one and a half hours on one
day that would prohibit entry within
420 feet of a firework barge. Normally
such actions are categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph
L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01,
Rev. 1. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions
on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. We
seek any comments or information that
may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 14, 2020, the Architectural and
Transportation Barriers Compliance
Board (Access Board) issued an advance
notice of proposed rulemaking to begin
the process of updating its existing
accessibility guidelines for rail vehicles
covered by the Americans with
Disabilities Act. See 85 FR 8516,
February 14, 2020. In that document,
the Access Board requested comments
by May 14, 2020.
On March 26, 2020, the American
Public Transit Association (APTA)
requested that the 90-day comment
period be extended for an additional 60
days to allow for a more thorough,
careful review of the 25 technical
questions posed by the Board. APTA
continued that ‘‘given the pandemic and
national emergency declarations, our
members who are concerned about this
issue have been pulled away to work on
essential functions. Thus, the additional
time would allow APTA members to
collaborate and develop thoughtful
responses to the Access Board’s
questions.’’
Although the Access Board has
already provided a 90-day comment
period and held a public hearing on the
ANPRM, the Board will provide
additional time for the public to submit
comments.

Increasing Recreational Opportunities
Through the Use of Electric Bikes
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) proposes to amend
its off-road vehicle regulations to add a
definition for electric bikes (e-bikes)
and, where certain criteria are met and
an authorized officer expressly
determines through a formal decision
that e-bikes should be treated the same
as non-motorized bicycles, expressly
exempt those e-bikes from the definition
of off-road vehicles. This proposed
change would facilitate increased
recreational opportunities for all
Americans, especially those with
physical limitations, and would
encourage the enjoyment of lands and
waters managed by the BLM.
DATES: Please submit comments on or
before June 9, 2020.

I. Public Comment Procedures
You may submit comments, identified
by the number RIN 1004–AE72, by any
of the methods described in the
ADDRESSES section.
Please make your comments on the
proposed rule as specific as possible,
confine them to issues pertinent to the
proposed rule, and explain the reason
for any changes you recommend. Where
possible, your comments should
reference the specific section or
paragraph of the proposal that you are
addressing. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are:
1. Those supported by quantitative
information or studies; and
2. Those that include citations to, and
analyses of, the applicable laws and
regulations.
The BLM is not obligated to consider
or include in the Administrative Record
for the final rule comments that we
receive after the close of the comment
period (see DATES) or comments
delivered to an address other than those
listed above (see ADDRESSES).
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the
address listed under ‘‘ADDRESSES:
Personal or messenger delivery’’ during
regular hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.),
Monday through Friday, except
holidays.
Before including your address,
telephone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information
in your comment, be advised that your
entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold from public review your
personal identifying information, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
II. Background
The Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA) directs the
BLM to manage public lands it
administers for multiple use and
sustained yield (unless otherwise
provided by law) and to provide for
outdoor recreation (43 U.S.C. 1701).
Many visitors bicycle on BLM-managed
public lands. Improvements in bicycle
technology have made bicycling an
option for more people and have made
public lands more accessible to cyclists.
One bicycle design modification
growing in popularity is the addition of
a small electric motor that provides an
electric power assist to the operation of
the bicycle and reduces the physical
