SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES SUMMARY: I. Summary and Explanation On August 31, 2020, OSHA published a final rule revising the standards for occupational exposure to beryllium and beryllium compounds in the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:14 Feb 23, 2021 Jkt 253001 construction and shipyard sectors (85 FR 53910). The document inadvertently failed to revise paragraph (k)(7)(ii) of both standards in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), as the final rule purported to do. The document also failed to include the correct language for these revised provisions in two tables in the Economic Feasibility Analysis and Regulatory Flexibility Certification section of the preamble. OSHA is publishing this document to correct these errors. II. Exemption From Notice-andComment Procedures OSHA has determined that these corrections are not subject to the procedures for public notice and comment specified in Section 4 of the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 553) or Section 6(b) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 655(b)). This rulemaking only corrects minor errors and does not affect or change any existing rights or obligations. No stakeholder is likely to object to these corrections. Therefore, the agency finds good cause that public notice and comment are unnecessary within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), 29 U.S.C. 655(b), and 29 CFR 1911.5. Preamble Corrections In FR Doc. 2020–18017 appearing on page 53910 in the Federal Register of August 31, 2020 (85 FR 53910), make the following corrections in the Economic Feasibility Analysis and Regulatory Flexibility Certification section of the preamble. 1. On page 53991, in the third column, in Table VI.1, the sixth paragraph is corrected to read as follows: ‘‘Added a new requirement in paragraph (k)(7)(ii) that the employer must ensure that, as part of the evaluation, the employee is offered any tests deemed appropriate by the examining physician at the CBD diagnostic center, such as pulmonary function testing (as outlined by the American Thoracic Society criteria), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and transbronchial biopsy. If any of the tests deemed appropriate by the examining physician are not available at the CBD diagnostic center, they may be performed at another location that is mutually agreed upon by the employer and the employee.’’ 2. On page 53994, in the third column, in Table VI.2, the first paragraph is corrected to read as follows: ‘‘Added a new requirement in paragraph (k)(7)(ii) that the employer PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 11119 must ensure that, as part of the evaluation, the employee is offered any tests deemed appropriate by the examining physician at the CBD diagnostic center, such as pulmonary function testing (as outlined by the American Thoracic Society criteria), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and transbronchial biopsy.

Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for certain waters of Duluth-Superior Harbor encompassed by a box from Connor’s Point Marina in Superior, WI to Rice’s Point in Duluth, MN and extending 100 yards from four (4) barges placed across the waterway. This action is necessary to protect the safety of life on these navigable waters of DuluthSuperior Harbor near the Blatnik Bridge for an extreme sports event. This rulemaking would prohibit persons, vehicles, and vessels from entering, transiting, or anchoring in the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Duluth or a designated representative. This rule is effective February 24, 2021 through March 5, 2021.

DATES: Beryllium. * Coast Guard 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 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:14 Feb 23, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because the temporary rule takes place after the closure of the Sault Saint Marie Locks on a frozen waterway with no anticipated vessel traffic. Further, delaying the effective date of this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the events taking place during Red Bull’s filming of the snowmachine stunts across the waterway. 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. For the same reasons discussed in the preceeding paragraph, waiting for a 30-day notice period to run would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Duluth (COTP) has determined that this rule is necessary to protect the safety of people, vessels, vehicles, and the navigable waters within the safety zone immediately before, during, and after the scheduled event. IV. Discussion of the Rule The COTP establishing a safety zone from 9 a.m. through 4 p.m. daily from February 25, 2021 through March 5, 2021. The safety zone covers all navigable waters from Connor’s Point Marina, along the Blatnik Bridge (Interstate 535 Bridge) to Rice’s Point Landing, extending 100 yards on either side of the barges along the waterway. The duration of the zone is intended to protect the safety of persons, vehicles, vessels, and these navigable waters immediately before, during, and after the scheduled event. No vessel, vehicle, or person would 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 E:\FR\FM\24FER1.SGM 24FER1

Occupational Exposure to Beryllium and Beryllium Compounds in 
Construction and Shipyard Sectors; Correction

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Final rule; correction and correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: OSHA is making minor changes to the final rule published on 
August 31, 2020, titled Occupational Exposure to Beryllium and 
Beryllium Compounds in Construction and Shipyard Sectors, to correct 
inadvertent errors in the published rule.

DATES: Effective February 24, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 
    Press inquiries: Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of 
Communications; telephone: (202) 693-1999; email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Summary and Explanation

    On August 31, 2020, OSHA published a final rule revising the 
standards for occupational exposure to beryllium and beryllium 
compounds in the construction and shipyard sectors (85 FR 53910). The 
document inadvertently failed to revise paragraph (k)(7)(ii) of both 
standards in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), as the final rule 
purported to do. The document also failed to include the correct 
language for these revised provisions in two tables in the Economic 
Feasibility Analysis and Regulatory Flexibility Certification section 
of the preamble. OSHA is publishing this document to correct these 
errors.

II. Exemption From Notice-and-Comment Procedures

    OSHA has determined that these corrections are not subject to the 
procedures for public notice and comment specified in Section 4 of the 
Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 553) or Section 6(b) of the 
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 655(b)). This 
rulemaking only corrects minor errors and does not affect or change any 
existing rights or obligations. No stakeholder is likely to object to 
these corrections. Therefore, the agency finds good cause that public 
notice and comment are unnecessary within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B), 29 U.S.C. 655(b), and 29 CFR 1911.5.

Preamble Corrections

    In FR Doc. 2020-18017 appearing on page 53910 in the Federal 
Register of August 31, 2020 (85 FR 53910), make the following 
corrections in the Economic Feasibility Analysis and Regulatory 
Flexibility Certification section of the preamble.
    1. On page 53991, in the third column, in Table VI.1, the sixth 
paragraph is corrected to read as follows:
    ``Added a new requirement in paragraph (k)(7)(ii) that the employer 
must ensure that, as part of the evaluation, the employee is offered 
any tests deemed appropriate by the examining physician at the CBD 
diagnostic center, such as pulmonary function testing (as outlined by 
the American Thoracic Society criteria), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), 
and transbronchial biopsy. If any of the tests deemed appropriate by 
the examining physician are not available at the CBD diagnostic center, 
they may be performed at another location that is mutually agreed upon 
by the employer and the employee.''
    2. On page 53994, in the third column, in Table VI.2, the first 
paragraph is corrected to read as follows:
    ``Added a new requirement in paragraph (k)(7)(ii) that the employer 
must ensure that, as part of the evaluation, the employee is offered 
any tests deemed appropriate by the examining physician at the CBD 
diagnostic center, such as pulmonary function testing (as outlined by 
the American Thoracic Society criteria), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), 
and transbronchial biopsy. If any of the tests deemed appropriate by 
the examining physician are not available at the CBD diagnostic center,
