Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 225 / Friday, November 20, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
develop in other products of the same
type design, and began proceedings to
address the unsafe condition. On
August 6, 2020, the FAA issued a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
proposing an Airworthiness Directive
that would apply to U.S.-registered
Boeing Company Model 737–8 and
Boeing Company Model 737–9 airplanes
and would require owners and operators
to complete certain corrective action
necessary to address the unsafe
condition. See 85 FR 47698. On
November 18, 2020, after considering
public comments on the NPRM, the
FAA issued Airworthiness Directive
2020–24–02 as a final rule that requires
certain corrective action to address the
unsafe condition before further flight
and conforms the aircraft to the
amended Model 737–8 and 737–9 type
designs that FAA approved on
November 17, 2020. The Airworthiness
Directive will become effective upon its
publication in the Federal Register.
Together, the Airworthiness Directive
and the design approval address the
unsafe condition as to the existing U.S.registered fleet of Boeing Company
Model 737–8 and 737–9 airplanes and
as to any Model 737–8 and 737–9
airplanes for which The Boeing
Company hereafter seeks airworthiness
certificates and export certificates of
airworthiness. It is now practicable for
the FAA to give preference to the
proceedings that the FAA began in
response to the emergency.
First, the Emergency Order of
Prohibition is no longer necessary as to
any Boeing Company Model 737–8 and
737–9 airplanes that hereafter receive
original FAA airworthiness certificates
and export certificates of airworthiness
based on the amended type designs.
Second, for any Boeing Company
Model 737–8 and 737–9 airplanes not
falling into that first category, the
Emergency Order of Prohibition is
unnecessary as to foreign-registered
airplanes operating in U.S. airspace.
With respect to foreign-registered
Boeing Company Model 737–8 and 737–
9 airplanes, the FAA will apply Article
33 and Annex 8 of the Convention on
International Civil Aviation (the
Chicago Convention) to take appropriate
action to restrict access to U.S. airspace
and address any non-compliance with
U.S. laws where the foreign civil
aviation authority of the state of registry
does not require conformance with the
newly amended type design or an
alternative that achieves at least an
equivalent level of safety.
Finally, upon the publication of
Airworthiness Directive 2020–24–02 in
the Federal Register, the legal force of
that Airworthiness Directive will
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:07 Nov 19, 2020
Jkt 253001
supersede any need to apply the
Emergency Order of Prohibition as to
the existing U.S.-registered fleet of
Boeing Company Model 737–8 and 737–
9 airplanes that the FAA previously
certificated. With respect to those
airplanes, Airworthiness Directive
2020–24–02 requires corrective action
before further flight.
Importantly, in the scenarios
identified above, before returning
Boeing Company Model 737–8 and 737–
9 airplanes to service, operators must
also meet all other applicable
requirements, such as completing new
training for pilots and conducting
maintenance activity.
Rescission
For the foregoing reasons, the March
13, 2019 Emergency Order of
Prohibition is rescinded as follows:
(1) Effective immediately as to any
Boeing Company Model 737–8 and 737–
9 airplanes that hereafter receive FAA
airworthiness certificates and export
certificates of airworthiness;
(2) Effective immediately as to any
foreign-registered Boeing Company
Model 737–8 and 737–9 airplanes
operating in U.S. airspace; and
(3) Effective upon publication in the
Federal Register of Airworthiness
Directive 2020–24–02 as to all U.S.registered Boeing Company Model 737–
8 and 737–9 airplanes.

The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary special local
regulation (SLR) in the Atlantic Ocean
east of Fort Lauderdale, Florida in
connection with the Ft Lauderdale Air
Show. The Ft Lauderdale Air Show is
listed as typically occurring annually
over one weekend in May. This year,
however, the sponsor changed the
event’s date to the weekend of
November 20, 2020. The SLR extends
north of the Port Everglades Inlet
approximately six miles and is
necessary to ensure the safety of the
public, spectators, participating vessels,
and marine environment during
aerobatic maneuvers by low-flying
airplanes and high-speed surface
demonstrations during the Fort
Lauderdale Air Show. This SLR
prohibits persons and non-participant
vessels from entering, transiting,
anchoring in, or remaining within the
regulated area unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port (COTP) Miami or a
designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from November 20,
2020, through November 22, 2020.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to
authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
E:\FR\FM\20NOR1.SGM
20NOR1
74262
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 225 / Friday, November 20, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule since this event
has previously undergone the NPRM
process and is listed as a recurring event
in 33 CFR 100.702, on Line 3 of Table
1 to § 100.702. In addition, the sponsor
notified the Coast Guard of the event
with insufficient time to prepare and
publish an NPRM. Immediate action is
needed to respond to the potential
safety hazards associated with aerobatic
and high-speed surface demonstrations
associated with the Fort Lauderdale Air
Show. It is impracticable to publish an
NPRM because we must establish this
safety zone by November 20, 2020.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable
because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with aerobatic and highspeed surface demonstrations associated
with the Fort Lauderdale Air Show.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The
COTP Miami has determined potential
hazards associated with aerobatic and
high-speed surface demonstrations from
November 20, 2020, through November
22, 2020, will be a safety concern for
anyone within the regulated area. This
rule is needed to protect spectators,
vessels, and the marine environment in
the navigable waters within the SLR.

This rule establishes a temporary SLR
in connection with the Ft Lauderdale
Air Show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily
from November 20, 2020 through
November 22, 2020. The Ft Lauderdale
Air Show is listed in 33 CFR 100.702,
on Line 3 of Table 1 to § 100.702 as
typically occurring annually over one
weekend in May. This year; however,
the sponsor changed the event’s date to
the weekend of November 20, 2020. The
SLR extends north of the Port
Everglades Inlet approximately six miles
and is necessary to ensure the safety of
the public, spectators, participating
vessels, and marine environment during
aerobatic maneuvers by low-flying
airplanes and high-speed surface
demonstrations during the Fort
Lauderdale Air Show. Non-participant
vessels are prohibited from entering,
transiting, anchoring in, or remaining
within the regulated area without
obtaining permission from the COTP
Miami or a designated representative.

V. 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
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 size, location, duration,
and scope of the SLR. The SLR will
affect a small designated area of the
Atlantic Ocean over a period of three
days during the month of November,
making it limited in size, location and
duration. Vessel traffic will be able to
safely transit around the regulated area
and vessels may seek permission to
enter the zone, making it limited in
scope. Moreover, the Coast Guard will
notify the public of the regulated area
through an entry in the Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners on VHF–FM marine channel
16. In addition, the rule would allow.
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.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the regulated
area may be small entities, for the
reasons stated in section V.A above, this
rule will not have a significant
economic impact on any vessel owner
or operator.
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please call or email the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
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.
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
E:\FR\FM\20NOR1.SGM
20NOR1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 225 / Friday, November 20, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
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 023–1, 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 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 SLR
lasting seven hours per day over three
days that will prohibit persons and
vessels from entering or transiting the
regulated area during the air show. In
April 2018, the Coast Guard prepared a
Supplemental Environmental
Assessment to assess the effects of the
Ft Lauderdale Air show on the human
environment resulting in a finding of no
significant impact. The Supplemental
Environmental Assessment and Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
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.

Inlet approximately six miles and is necessary to ensure the safety of
the public, spectators, participating vessels, and marine environment
during aerobatic maneuvers by low-flying airplanes and high-speed
surface demonstrations during the Fort Lauderdale Air Show. This SLR
prohibits persons and non-participant vessels from entering,
transiting, anchoring in, or remaining within the regulated area unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Miami or a designated
representative.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a
[[Page 74262]]
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule since
this event has previously undergone the NPRM process and is listed as a
recurring event in 33 CFR 100.702, on Line 3 of Table 1 to Sec.
100.702. In addition, the sponsor notified the Coast Guard of the event
with insufficient time to prepare and publish an NPRM. Immediate action
is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with
aerobatic and high-speed surface demonstrations associated with the
Fort Lauderdale Air Show. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM
because we must establish this safety zone by November 20, 2020.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with aerobatic and
high-speed surface demonstrations associated with the Fort Lauderdale
Air Show.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The COTP Miami has determined potential hazards associated with
aerobatic and high-speed surface demonstrations from November 20, 2020,
through November 22, 2020, will be a safety concern for anyone within
the regulated area. This rule is needed to protect spectators, vessels,
and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the SLR.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary SLR in connection with the Ft
Lauderdale Air Show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from November 20, 2020
through November 22, 2020. The Ft Lauderdale Air Show is listed in 33
CFR 100.702, on Line 3 of Table 1 to Sec. 100.702 as typically
occurring annually over one weekend in May. This year; however, the
sponsor changed the event's date to the weekend of November 20, 2020.
The SLR extends north of the Port Everglades Inlet approximately six
miles and is necessary to ensure the safety of the public, spectators,
participating vessels, and marine environment during aerobatic
maneuvers by low-flying airplanes and high-speed surface demonstrations
during the Fort Lauderdale Air Show. Non-participant vessels are
prohibited from entering, transiting, anchoring in, or remaining within
the regulated area without obtaining permission from the COTP Miami or
a designated representative.
V. 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 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 size,
location, duration, and scope of the SLR. The SLR will affect a small
designated area of the Atlantic Ocean over a period of three days
during the month of November, making it limited in size, location and
duration. Vessel traffic will be able to safely transit around the
regulated area and vessels may seek permission to enter the zone,
making it limited in scope. Moreover, the Coast Guard will notify the
public of the regulated area through an entry in the Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners on VHF-FM marine channel 16.
In addition, the rule would allow.
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.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
regulated area may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
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.
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
[[Page 74263]]
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 023-1, 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 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 SLR
lasting seven hours per day over three days that will prohibit persons
and vessels from entering or transiting the regulated area during the
air show. In April 2018, the Coast Guard prepared a Supplemental
Environmental Assessment to assess the effects of the Ft Lauderdale Air
show on the human environment resulting in a finding of no significant
impact. The Supplemental Environmental Assessment and Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
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.
