Notice of availability. AGENCY: ACTION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:38 Sep 08, 2021 Jkt 253001 The Coast Guard announces the availability of Change 3 to Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 24–14: Guidelines on Qualification for STCW Endorsements as Electro-Technical Rating (ETR) on Vessels Powered by Main Propulsion Machinery of 750 kW/1,000 HP or More. This NVIC provides guidance to mariners concerning STCW endorsements for ETR, including training and qualifications. This change notice revises NVIC 24–14 to indicate that the Coast Guard will allow mariners to qualify for an STCW endorsement as ETR without completing approved training for high voltage systems or computer systems and maintenance. DATES: The policies announced in Change-3 to NVIC 24–14 are effective as of August 26, 2021. ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this notice, search the docket number USCG–2021–0408 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about this document, contact James Cavo, Mariner Credentialing Program Policy Division (CG–MMC–2), Coast Guard; telephone 202–372–1205; email MMCPolicy@ uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will use NVIC 24–14 and 46 CFR part 12 to establish whether mariners are qualified to hold STCW rating endorsements as Electro-Technical Rating (ETR) on Vessels Powered by Main Propulsion Machinery of 750 kW/ 1,000 HP or More. As specified in 46 CFR 12.611, mariners seeking this endorsement must complete an approved training for High Voltage Systems and Computer Systems and Maintenance. The standards of competence requirements for STCW endorsements as ETR are found in Table A–III/7 of the STCW Code. That STCW table does not include standards of competence relevant to high voltage systems or computer systems and maintenance. The Coast Guard will not enforce the requirement for approved courses in Computer Systems and Maintenance or High Voltage Systems for an ETR endorsement because it places a higher training burden on U.S. mariners compared to what is required of the international maritime workforce for a similar endorsement. The time and cost for a mariner to complete these courses outweighs any benefit the course would provide because the mariner does not use this knowledge and proficiency in their ETR capacity. Therefore, we have determined this training requirement SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 goes beyond the skillset necessary and the level of responsibility associated with an ETR endorsement, and thus is unnecessary and overly burdensome. For these reasons, this Commandant Change Notice will allow mariners to qualify for an STCW endorsement as ETR without completing approved training for computer systems and maintenance and for high voltage power systems. The approved High Voltage Power Systems training courses will still be required and utilized for the ElectroTechnical Officer endorsement. This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a). Dated: September 2, 2021. J.W. Mauger, Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Prevention Policy.

Background and Purpose The Ports and Waterways Safety Act (46 U.S.C. 70003(c)) requires the Coast Guard to conduct a Port Access Route Study (PARS), i.e., a study of potential traffic density and the need for safe access routes for vessels. Through the study process, the Coast Guard coordinates with Federal, State, local, tribal and foreign state agencies (as appropriate) to consider the views of maritime community representatives, environmental groups, and other interested stakeholders. The primary purpose of this coordination is, to the extent practicable, to reconcile the need for safe access routes with other reasonable waterway uses such as construction and operation of renewable energy facilities and other uses of the Atlantic Ocean in the study area. In 2019, the Coast Guard announced a new study of routes used by ships to access ports on the Atlantic Coast of the United States in the Federal Register (84 FR 9541; March 15, 2019). This new study supplements and builds upon the ACPARS by conducting a series of PARS to examine ports along the Atlantic Coast that are economically significant or support military or critical national defense operations and related international entry and departure transit areas that are integral to the safe and efficient and unimpeded flow of commerce to/from major international shipping lanes. The NNYBPARS is one of several studies being conducted. On June 29, 2020, the First Coast Guard District published a notice of study and public meetings; request for comments entitled ‘‘Port Access Route Study (PARS): Northern New York Bight’’ in the Federal Register (85 FR 38907) to evaluate the adequacy of existing vessel routing measures and determine whether additional vessel routing measures are necessary for port approaches to New York and New Jersey and international and domestic transit areas in the First District area of responsibility. The public was afforded a 60-day comment period, and two virtual public meetings were held via teleconference and webinar to receive public input. The Coast Guard received 25 comments to this document in response to our Federal Register Notice, public meetings and other outreach efforts. All comments and supporting documents to this document are available in a public docket and can be viewed at https:// www.regulations.gov. On April 12, 2021, we published a supplemental notice of study; request for comments entitled ‘‘Port Access Route Study (PARS): Northern New VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:38 Sep 08, 2021 Jkt 253001 York Bight’’ in the Federal Register (86 FR 18996) seeking additional information. The public was afforded a 30-day comment period. The Coast Guard received five comments to this document in response to our Federal Register Notice, and other outreach efforts. All comments and supporting documents to this document are available in a public docket and can be viewed at https://www.regulations.gov. During both comment periods a total of 30 comments were submitted by representatives of the maritime community, wind energy developers, non-governmental organizations, Federal and State governmental agencies, and private citizens. Of the thirty comments, fourteen requested additional routing measures be established, twelve expressed concerns that wind farm installations will negatively affect vessel’s marine radar performance, eight requested setback/buffer zones, six requested anchorages be designated, six requested additional meetings, three requested alteration of existing routing measures, and three requested expanding Vessel Traffic Services. A synopsis of the comments and copies of the Coast Guard’s Public outreach can be found in the draft version of the study report. On July 15, 2021, the First Coast Guard District published a notice of availability of the draft version of the study report entitled ‘‘Port Access Route Study (PARS): Northern New York Bight’’ in the Federal Register (86 FR 37339). The public was afforded a 45-day comment period, one virtual public meeting and three in person public meetings were held, to receive public input. The Coast Guard received 17 comments to this document in response to our Federal Register Notice, public meetings and other outreach efforts. All comments and supporting documents to this document are available in a public docket and can be viewed at www.regulations.gov. The Coast Guard is opening this fourth and final NNYBPARS comment period to facilitate transparent public discussions on the information above as well as the draft version of the study. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. This Notice Under IRC Section 42(d)(5)(B)(iii)(I), for purposes of the LIHTC, the Secretary of HUD must designate DDAs, which are areas with high construction, land, and utility costs relative to area median gross income (AMGI). This notice designates DDAs for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. HUD makes the designations of DDAs in this notice based on modified Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Small Area Fair Market Rents (Small Area FMRs, SAFMRs), FY 2021 nonmetropolitan county FMRs, FY 2021 income limits, and 2010 Census population counts, as explained below. Similarly, under IRC Section 42(d)(5)(B)(ii)(I), the Secretary of HUD must designate QCTs, which are areas where either 50 percent or more of the households have an income less than 60 percent of the AMGI for such year or have a poverty rate of at least 25 percent. This notice designates QCTs based on new income and poverty data released in the American Community Survey (ACS). Specifically, HUD relies on the most recent three sets of ACS data to ensure that anomalous estimates, due to sampling, do not affect the QCT status of tracts. II. Data Used To Designate DDAs HUD uses data from the 2010 Census on total population of metropolitan areas, metropolitan ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs), and nonmetropolitan areas in the designation of DDAs. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published updated metropolitan areas in OMB Bulletin No. 17–01 on August 15, 2017. FY 2021 FMRs and FY 2021 income limits HUD uses to designate DDAs are based on these metropolitan statistical area (MSA) definitions, with modifications to account for substantial differences in rental housing markets (and, in some cases, median income levels) within MSAs. HUD calculates Small Area FMRs for the ZCTAs, or portions of ZCTAs within the metropolitan areas defined by OMB Bulletin No. 17–01. III. Data HUD Uses To Designate QCTs HUD uses data from the 2010 Census on total population of census tracts, metropolitan areas, and the nonmetropolitan parts of states in the designation of QCTs. The FY 2021 income limits HUD uses to designate QCTs are based on these MSA definitions with modifications to account for substantial differences in rental housing markets (and in some E:\FR\FM\09SEN1.SGM 09SEN1

I. Background and Purpose

    The Ports and Waterways Safety Act (46 U.S.C. 70003(c)) requires 
the Coast Guard to conduct a Port Access Route Study (PARS), i.e., a 
study of potential traffic density and the need for safe access routes 
for vessels. Through the study process, the Coast Guard coordinates 
with Federal, State, local, tribal and foreign state agencies (as 
appropriate) to consider the views of maritime community 
representatives, environmental groups, and other interested 
stakeholders. The primary purpose of this coordination is, to the 
extent practicable, to reconcile the need for safe access routes with 
other reasonable waterway uses such as construction and operation of 
renewable energy facilities and other uses of the Atlantic Ocean in the 
study area.
    In 2019, the Coast Guard announced a new study of routes used by 
ships to access ports on the Atlantic Coast of the United States in the 
Federal Register (84 FR 9541; March 15, 2019). This new study 
supplements and builds upon the ACPARS by conducting a series of PARS 
to examine ports along the Atlantic Coast that are economically 
significant or support military or critical national defense operations 
and related international entry and departure transit areas that are 
integral to the safe and efficient and unimpeded flow of commerce to/
from major international shipping lanes. The NNYBPARS is one of several 
studies being conducted.
    On June 29, 2020, the First Coast Guard District published a notice 
of study and public meetings; request for comments entitled ``Port 
Access Route Study (PARS): Northern New York Bight'' in the Federal 
Register (85 FR 38907) to evaluate the adequacy of existing vessel 
routing measures and determine whether additional vessel routing 
measures are necessary for port approaches to New York and New Jersey 
and international and domestic transit areas in the First District area 
of responsibility.
    The public was afforded a 60-day comment period, and two virtual 
public meetings were held via teleconference and webinar to receive 
public input. The Coast Guard received 25 comments to this document in 
response to our Federal Register Notice, public meetings and other 
outreach efforts. All comments and supporting documents to this 
document are available in a public docket and can be viewed at https://www.regulations.gov.
    On April 12, 2021, we published a supplemental notice of study; 
request for comments entitled ``Port Access Route Study (PARS): 
Northern New York Bight'' in the Federal Register (86 FR 18996) seeking 
additional information.
    The public was afforded a 30-day comment period. The Coast Guard 
received five comments to this document in response to our Federal 
Register Notice, and other outreach efforts. All comments and 
supporting documents to this document are available in a public docket 
and can be viewed at https://www.regulations.gov.
    During both comment periods a total of 30 comments were submitted 
by representatives of the maritime community, wind energy developers, 
non-governmental organizations, Federal and State governmental 
agencies, and private citizens.
    Of the thirty comments, fourteen requested additional routing 
measures be established, twelve expressed concerns that wind farm 
installations will negatively affect vessel's marine radar performance, 
eight requested setback/buffer zones, six requested anchorages be 
designated, six requested additional meetings, three requested 
alteration of existing routing measures, and three requested expanding 
Vessel Traffic Services.
    A synopsis of the comments and copies of the Coast Guard's Public 
outreach can be found in the draft version of the study report.
    On July 15, 2021, the First Coast Guard District published a notice 
of availability of the draft version of the study report entitled 
``Port Access Route Study (PARS): Northern New York Bight'' in the 
Federal Register (86 FR 37339).
    The public was afforded a 45-day comment period, one virtual public 
meeting and three in person public meetings were held, to receive 
public input. The Coast Guard received 17 comments to this document in 
response to our Federal Register Notice, public meetings and other 
outreach efforts. All comments and supporting documents to this 
document are available in a public docket and can be viewed at
