Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 105 / Thursday, June 3, 2021 / Proposed Rules
Regulatory Findings
The FAA determined that this
proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order
13132. This proposed AD would not
have 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.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify this proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate
aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

eligible for installation’’ is:
(i) For a HPC front hub: Any HPC front hub
with a P/N other than P/N 30G1910 or

issuing this AD to prevent cracking of the
HPC rotor shaft. The unsafe condition, if not
addressed, could result in release of a highpressure turbine disk, damage to the engine,
and damage to the airplane.

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The Fifth Coast Guard District puts in
place recurring special local regulations
to ensure public safety for marine events
that take place either on or over the
navigable waters of the United States
within the Fifth Coast Guard District
area of responsibility as defined at 33
CFR part 3, subpart 3.25. These
recurring special local regulations are
found in the Code of Federal
Regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 and that
section’s respective table. The Coast
Guard regularly updates these
regulations. They were last
substantively amended June 13, 2017.
The Fifth Coast Guard District is
proposing to revise these regulations for
improved clarity, to correspond with
current Coast Guard operating policies
for marine events, to update existing
events, add new events, and remove
events that no longer require additional
safety measures. Based on the nature of
marine events, large numbers of
participants and spectators, and event
locations, the events listed in the table
to 33 CFR 100.501 could pose a risk to
participants or waterway users if normal
Frm 00008
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
vessel traffic were to interfere with the
event. Possible hazards include risks of
injury or death resulting from near or
actual contact among participant vessels
and non-participant vessels or mariners
traversing through the regulated area. In
order to protect the safety of all
waterway users including event
participants and non-participants, this
rule would establish special local
regulations for the time and location of
each marine event.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to
ensure the safety of persons, vessels,
and the navigable waters within close
proximity to recurring marine events
before, during, and after the scheduled
events. The Coast Guard is proposing
this rulemaking under authority in 46
U.S.C. 70041. The Secretary has
delegated ports and waterways
authority, with certain reservations not
applicable here, to the Commandant via
DHS Delegation No. 0170.1(II)(70). The
Commandant has further delegated
these authorities within the Coast Guard
as described in 33 CFR 1.05–1
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
I. Table of Abbreviations

Changes To Improve Clarity and Reflect
Current Coast Guard Marine Event
Policies
We are proposing several stylistic and
formatting changes to update 33 CFR
100.501, and associated tables, to
provide greater clarity and remove
potential ambiguities. We are also
proposing to make revisions to reflect
current Coast Guard marine event
policy.
• Plain language edits, such as
switching from passive to active voice
and more clearly stating the
enforcement period for each event.
• Writing regulatory requirements
and definitions in the singular rather
than the plural, where appropriate.
• Listing definitions and the events
by COTP Zone in alphabetical order.
• Reformatting the table entries so
that they all have similar formatting
(there are currently discrepancies in
how similar entries are formatted).
• Separating the special local
regulations for each COTP Zone into
their own tables.
• Amending the name and location
for Sector Virginia to Portsmouth, VA,
where the command center is located
and to change the phone number for
Sector North Carolina.
Additionally, we are proposing to
consolidate all defined terms into a
single paragraph, paragraph (b) of
§ 100.501, and list them in alphabetical
order. Currently the defined terms
‘‘buffer area’’, ‘‘race area’’, and
‘‘spectator area’’ appear in the

issues pertinent to the proposed regulations, and explain the reason
for any recommended change(s). We appreciate any and all comments, but
those most useful and likely to influence decisions on the final
regulations will be those that either involve personal experience or
include citations to and analyses of SMCRA, its legislative history,
its implementing regulations, case law, other pertinent State or
Federal laws or regulations, technical literature, or other relevant
publications.
We cannot ensure that comments received after the close of the
comment period (see DATES) or sent to an address other than those
listed (see ADDRESSES) will be included in the docket for this
rulemaking and considered.
Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying
information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
Public Hearing
If you wish to speak at the public hearing, contact the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT by 4:00 p.m., e.d.t. on
June 18, 2021. If you are disabled and need reasonable accommodations
to attend a public hearing, contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT. We will arrange the location and time of the
hearing with those persons requesting the hearing. If no one requests
an opportunity to speak, we will not hold a hearing.
To assist the transcriber and ensure an accurate record, we
request, if possible, that each person who speaks at the public hearing
provide us with a written copy of his or her comments. The public
hearing will continue on the specified date until everyone scheduled to
speak has been given an opportunity to be heard. If you are in the
audience and have not been scheduled to speak and wish to do so, you
will be allowed to speak after those who have been scheduled. We will
end the hearing after everyone scheduled to speak and others present in
the audience who wish to speak, have been heard.
Public Meeting
If only one person requests an opportunity to speak, we may hold a
public meeting rather than a public hearing. If you wish to meet with
us to discuss the amendment, please request a meeting by contacting the
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. All such meetings
are open to the public and, if possible, we will post notices of
meetings at the locations listed under ADDRESSES. We will make a
written summary of each meeting a part of the administrative record.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Executive Order 12866--Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563--Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
Executive Order 12866 provides that the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will
review all significant rules. Pursuant to OMB guidance dated October
12, 1993, the approval of State program amendments is exempted from OMB
review under Executive Order 12866. Executive Order 13563, which
reaffirms and supplements Executive Order 12866, retains this
exemption.
Other Laws and Executive Orders Affecting Rulemaking
When a State submits a program amendment to OSMRE for review, our
regulations at 30 CFR 732.17(h) require us to publish a notice in the
Federal Register indicating receipt of the proposed amendment, its text
or a summary of its terms, and an opportunity for public comment. We
conclude our review of the proposed amendment after the close of the
public comment period and determine whether the amendment should be
approved, approved in part, or not approved. At that time, we will also
make the determinations and certifications required by the various laws
and executive orders governing the rulemaking process and include them
in the final rule.
List of Subjects in 30 CFR Part 917
Intergovernmental relations, Surface mining, Underground mining.
