which the refund was made, requesting
from the financial institution such
information as is necessary to identify
whether the financial institution
received the refund; whether the
financial institution returned, or will
return, the refund to the IRS, or if no
funds are available for return; whether
a deposit was made into the account
designated on the claim for refund; and
the identity of the deposit account
owner to whom the deposit was
disbursed.
(ii) Coordination to recover the
amounts transferred. Recovery of the
misdirected direct deposit refund from
a financial institution shall follow the
procedures established by the Bureau of
the Fiscal Service. The Bureau of the
Fiscal Service shall request the return of
the misdirected direct deposit refund
from the financial institution that
received it. The IRS may contact the
financial institution directly to recover
the misdirected direct deposit refund.
(4) Issuance of replacement refund.
When the IRS has determined that a
misdirected direct deposit refund has
occurred, the IRS will issue a
replacement refund in the full amount
of the refund that was misdirected. The
replacement refund may be issued as a
direct deposit or as a paper check sent
to the taxpayer’s last known address.
(5) Applicability of this paragraph (g)
to missing refunds. The provisions of
paragraphs (g)(2) through (g)(3)(i) of this
section should be used for any refund
that was disbursed as a direct deposit
and that the taxpayer reports as missing.
For example, although a refund that was
deposited into an incorrect bank
account because the taxpayer
transposed two digits in their bank
account number is not considered to be
a misdirected direct deposit refund, the
provisions of paragraphs (g)(2) through
(g)(3)(i) of this section should be used.
If the application of these procedures
results in an amount recovered by the
IRS, the recovered amount will be
refunded or credited as allowed by law.
(h) Applicability dates. * * *
Paragraph (g) of this section applies to
reports described in paragraph (g)(2)(ii)
of this section made after December 22,
2020.

Tampa Bay, Gibsonton, FL. The safety
zone is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment
from potential hazards created by
pipeline pressure testing in the area.
Entry of vessels or persons into this
zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg.
DATES: This rule is effective from 12:01
a.m. on January 1, 2021, through 7:00
a.m. on January 4, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Table of Abbreviations

FR Federal Register
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
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it
would be impracticable. The Coast
Guard was unable to publish an NPRM
and hold a comment period for this
rulemaking due to the short time period
the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg
(COTP) was notified of the need for the
safety zone. It is necessary for the Coast
Guard to establish this safety zone by
January 1, 2021, in order to ensure the
appropriate level of protection exists in
order to mitigate the potential safety
hazards associated with pipeline
pressure testing in the event of an
explosion.
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 for the same reasons stated in
the preceding paragraph.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The
COTP has determined that potential
hazards associated with pipeline
pressure testing starting January 1, 2021
will be a safety concern for anyone
within this safety zone in the event of
an explosion. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone while the
testing is occuring.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 12:00 a.m. on January 1, 2021,
until 7:00 a.m. on January 4, 2021. The
safety zone will cover all navigable
waters of Tampa Bay, east of a line
formed by connecting the points of
27°48′9″ N, 082°24′56″ W and 27°48′0″
N, 082°24′56″ W. The duration of the
zone is intended to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in
these navigable waters while pipeline
pressure testing is occuring. No vessel
or person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP 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.
E:\FR\FM\22DER1.SGM
22DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 22, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
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 time-of-day of the safety zone. This
area of Tampa Bay is not in a critical
navigation area.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
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 safety
zone 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:23 Dec 21, 2020
Jkt 253001
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
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
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
83449
category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety
zone lasting approximately 4 days that
will prohibit entry to all navigable
waters of Tampa Bay, east of a line
formed by connecting the points of
27°48′9″ N, 082°24′56″ W and 27°48′0″
N, 082°24′56″ W. It is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph L60 of Appendix A, Table 1
of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01–
001–01, Rev. 1. A Memorandum for
Record supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions
on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
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.

Seamless Acceptance Incentive
USPS is providing a $.001 per
mailpiece incentive. The incentive is
available for First-Class Mail, USPS
Marketing Mail, Periodicals and Bound
Printed Matter mail flats that use the
Full-Service Intelligent Mail barcode
(IMb) option. The change provides an
incentive to the Electronic
Documentation (eDoc) submitters (with
a Seamless CRID and an Enterprise
Payment System Account) for adoption
of the program. The incentive would be
based on the eDoc submitter’s Customer
Registration ID (CRID).
A Seamless Mailer is defined by their
CRID’s status in PostalOne! as
‘‘Seamless Acceptance.’’ Note: Seamless
Parallel does not qualify for the
discount. The proposal is to allow
Electronic Documentation (eDoc)
submitters to receive a Seamless
Acceptance incentive for the pieces that
claim Full-Service prices in the mailing,
provided the eDoc submitter has an
Enterprise Payment account that is used
for the incentive.
• The incentive is available to all
eDoc submitters with a Seamless
Acceptance CRID and an Enterprise
Payment account who enroll in
PostalOne!
• The incentive is applied to the
Enterprise Payment account that
corresponds with the permit selected
during registration to receive the
discount.
• A permit that corresponds with an
Enterprise Payment trust or ACH debit
account must be selected, in PostalOne!,
to receive the incentive. Trust accounts
will receive the incentive upon postage
statement finalization and ACH debit
accounts will receive the incentive as a
daily aggregate.
• Mail.dat changes: No impact—Use
existing Segment Record’s (.seg) ‘‘eDoc
Sender CRID’’ field to identify the CRID
of the eDoc submitter.
• Mail.XML changes: No impact—Use
existing OpenMailingGroupRequest >

of the eDoc submitter.
• Postage Statement Changes: No
impact—For eligible mailings the
postage may be paid using any
authorized payment account.
• Intelligent Mail for Small
Business—Mailing Agent CRID (same as
Permit Holder CRID) is used as the eDoc
Submitter CRID.

the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and

publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule for the same reasons stated in the preceding paragraph.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with
pipeline pressure testing starting January 1, 2021 will be a safety
concern for anyone within this safety zone in the event of an

IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone from 12:00 a.m. on January 1,

all navigable waters of Tampa Bay, east of a line formed by connecting
the points of 27[deg]48'9'' N, 082[deg]24'56'' W and 27[deg]48'0'' N,
082[deg]24'56'' W. The duration of the zone is intended to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable
waters while pipeline pressure testing is occuring. No vessel or person
will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission
from the COTP 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.
[[Page 83449]]
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

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 time-of-day of the safety zone. This area of
Tampa Bay is not in a critical navigation area.
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
safety zone 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

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

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 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 involves a
safety zone lasting approximately 4 days that will prohibit entry to
all navigable waters of Tampa Bay, east of a line formed by connecting
the points of 27[deg]48'9'' N, 082[deg]24'56'' W and 27[deg]48'0'' N,
082[deg]24'56'' W. It is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L60 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual
023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Memorandum for Record supporting this
determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating
the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
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.
