Download as PDF 24712 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 88 / Monday, May 10, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 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. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES 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 temporary safety zone on the LMR at MM 762 through 782 in the vicinity of VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:22 May 07, 2021 Jkt 253001 Randolph Bluff, TN, that will prohibit entry into this zone. The safety zone will only be enforced while operations preclude the safe navigation of the established channel. 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 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.

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.

the time of their nomination, Governors complete a financial disclosure 
report which, under the practice of the Senate Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs Committee, is kept confidential.
    (2) After confirmation. Because the Director of the Office of 
Government Ethics has concluded that Governors who do not perform the 
duties of their office for more than 60 days in any calendar year are 
not required to file financial disclosure reports that are open to the 
public, Governors file non-public reports annually, in accordance with

a public report in accordance with 5 CFR 2634.204(c).

(1) A Governor shall file a financial disclosure report with the 
Associate General Counsel on or before May 15 of each year when the 
Governor has been in office for more than 60 consecutive calendar days 
during the previous year.
    (2) The Associate General Counsel may, for good cause shown, grant 
to a Governor one or more extensions totaling not more than 90 days.
    (c) Information required to be reported. Each report shall be a 
full and complete statement, on the form prescribed by the Associate 
General Counsel and the Office of Government Ethics and in accordance 
with instructions issued by him or her.
    (d) Reviewing reports. (1) Financial disclosure reports filed in 
accordance with the provisions of this section shall, within 60 days 
after the date of filing, be reviewed by the Associate General Counsel 
who shall either approve the report, or make an initial determination 
that a conflict or appearance thereof exists. If the Associate General 
Counsel determines initially that a conflict or the appearance of a 
conflict exists, he or she shall inform the Governor of his or her 
determination.
    (2) If the Associate General Counsel considers that additional 
information is needed to complete the report or to allow an adequate 
review to be conducted, he or she shall request the reporting Governor 
to furnish that information by a specified date.
    (3) The Associate General Counsel shall refer to the Chairman of 
the Board of Governors or the Vice Chairman the name of any Governor he 
or she has reasonable cause to believe has wrongfully failed to file a 
report or has falsified or wrongfully failed to report required 
information.
    (e) Custody of and public access to reports--(1) Retention of 
reports. Each report filed with the Associate General Counsel shall be 
retained by him or her for a period of six years. After the six-year 
period, the report shall be destroyed unless needed in connection with

by this section, the financial disclosure reports filed by Governors 
shall not be made public.
