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
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it
would be contrary to the public interest.
Providing a public notice and comment
period would be contrary to the security
zone’s intended objective of protecting
the official party and the public.
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 is contrary to the public
interest because the Coast Guard must
establish this security zone by March
10, 2021 to ensure the safety and
security during the official’s visit.
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 Sector San Diego
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
(COTP) has determined that the
official’s visit presents a potential target
for terrorist acts, sabotage, or other
subversive acts, accidents, or other
causes of a similar nature. Given the
close proximity of the waterways to the
official’s visit site, this security zone is
necessary to protect the official party,
the public, and the surrounding
waterways in the vicinity of U.S. Coast
Guard Sector San Diego.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a security zone
from 6 a.m. on March 10, 2021 through
6 p.m. on March 11, 2021. The security
zone will be enforced from 6 a.m.
through 6 p.m. on both of these dates.
The security zone will cover all
navigable waters of the San Diego Bay
bound landward of a line by connecting
the following points: Beginning at
latitude 32°43′37.2″ N, longitude
117°10′45.0″ W (point A); thence
southeasterly to latitude 32°43′36.2″ N,
longitude 117°10′41.5″ W (point B);
thence southwesterly to latitude
32°43′20.2″ N, longitude 117°10′49.5″ W
(point C); thence northwesterly to
latitude 32°43′25.7″ N, longitude
117°11′04.6″ W (point D); thence
northeasterly to latitude 32°43′35.7″ N,
longitude 117°10′59.5″ W (point E);
thence generally easterly along the air
station boundary to the point of
beginning (point A). No vessel may
enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain in the zone during its
enforcement unless permission is
obtained from the COTP or a designated
representative. The duration of the zone
is intended to protect the Commandant
and the Commandant’s party in the
vicinity of this waterway.
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
E:\FR\FM\24FER1.SGM
24FER1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 24, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination
is based on size, location, duration, and
time-of-day of the security zone. Vessel
traffic will be able to safely transit
around this security zone which would
impact a small designated area of San
Diego Bay where commercial traffic is
typically low.
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 security
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
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
16:14 Feb 23, 2021
Jkt 253001
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
security zone that will prohibit entry
within a portion of the navigable waters
in the vicinity of U.S. Coast Guard
Sector San Diego, CA. It is 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 Record of

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

coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of

Extra Services Refund Time Limit

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Postal Service is
amending Mailing Standards of the
United States Postal Service, Domestic
Mail Manual (DMM®) to revise the time
limit for extra service refunds.
DATES: Effective Date: April 5, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Adaisja Johnson at (202) 268–6724, or
Garry Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
14, 2020, the Postal Service published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (85 FR
28917–28918) to revise the time limit
for extra service refunds on all classes
of mail except Priority Mail Express®.
SUMMARY:
The Postal Service elected to issue a
second revised proposed rule on
January 7, 2021, (86 FR 1080–1081) that
included revising the timelines for
Priority Mail Express with an extra
service. One formal response was
received as follows:
Comment: The commenter requested
the time limit for extra service refunds
be revised on all classes of mail except
Priority Mail Express.
USPS Response: The Postal Services
believes this revision to extend the time
limits for filing a refund for all classes
of mail will provide consistency within
the refund policy.
Currently, DMM Exhibit 604.9.2.1,
Postage and Fees Refunds, provides that
for Priority Mail Express with an extra
service a customer must apply for an
extra service refund no sooner than 10
days, or no later than 30 days, and for
all other classes of mail with an extra
service a customer must apply for an
extra service refund no sooner than 10
days, or no later than 60 days, from the
date the service was purchased.
Certain extra services (e.g., Certified
Mail®) have workflow timelines that
extend beyond the current 10-day limit
to initially file for a refund. As a result,
to meet the required workflow timelines
for these extra services, and for
consistency in application of the refund
processes, the Postal Service is
extending the current Priority Mail
Express with an extra service timeline to
no sooner than 30 days, or no later than
60 days. For all other classes of mail
with an extra service, the 10-day time
limit will be extended to a 30-day time
limit before a customer can file for a
refund.
We believe this revision will provide
customers with a more efficient process
and a more consistent customer
experience.
The Postal Service adopts the
following changes to Mailing Standards
of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM),
incorporated by reference in the Code of
Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1.

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 notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it would be contrary to the public
interest. Providing a public notice and comment period would be
contrary to the security zone's intended objective of protecting the
official party and the public.
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 is contrary to the public interest because the Coast Guard
must establish this security zone by March 10, 2021 to ensure the
safety and security during the official's visit.
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 Sector San
Diego (COTP) has determined that the official's visit presents a
potential target for terrorist acts, sabotage, or other subversive
acts, accidents, or other causes of a similar nature. Given the close
proximity of the waterways to the official's visit site, this security
zone is necessary to protect the official party, the public, and the
surrounding waterways in the vicinity of U.S. Coast Guard Sector San
Diego.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a security zone from 6 a.m. on March 10, 2021
through 6 p.m. on March 11, 2021. The security zone will be enforced
from 6 a.m. through 6 p.m. on both of these dates. The security zone
will cover all navigable waters of the San Diego Bay bound landward of
a line by connecting the following points: Beginning at latitude
32[deg]43'37.2'' N, longitude 117[deg]10'45.0'' W (point A); thence
southeasterly to latitude 32[deg]43'36.2'' N, longitude
117[deg]10'41.5'' W (point B); thence southwesterly to latitude
32[deg]43'20.2'' N, longitude 117[deg]10'49.5'' W (point C); thence
northwesterly to latitude 32[deg]43'25.7'' N, longitude
117[deg]11'04.6'' W (point D); thence northeasterly to latitude
32[deg]43'35.7'' N, longitude 117[deg]10'59.5'' W (point E); thence
generally easterly along the air station boundary to the point of
beginning (point A). No vessel may enter, transit through, anchor in,
or remain in the zone during its enforcement unless permission is
obtained from the COTP or a designated representative. The duration of
the zone is intended to protect the Commandant and the Commandant's
party in the vicinity of this waterway.
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
[[Page 11123]]
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements of
Executive Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination is based on size, location,
duration, and time-of-day of the security zone. Vessel traffic will be
able to safely transit around this security zone which would impact a
small designated area of San Diego Bay where commercial traffic is
typically low.
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
security 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 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
security zone that will prohibit entry within a portion of the
navigable waters in the vicinity of U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Diego,
CA. It is 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 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.
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.
