Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 21 / Tuesday, February 1, 2022 / Rules and Regulations tkelley on DSK125TN23PROD with RULES1 § 2702.10 Waivers and reduction of fees. (a) Automatic fee waiver. No fees shall be charged to any requester, including commercial use requesters, if the anticipated cost of processing and collecting the fee would be equal to or greater than the fee itself. Accordingly, the Commission has determined that fees of less than $20 shall be waived. If the Commission fails to comply with the time limits in § 2702.4(b), including the requirements related to the 10-day extension for unusual circumstances, search fees will not be assessed and, for requesters described in 30 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(A)(ii)(II), duplication fees will not be assessed. See Commission’s FOIA Guide for further information. (b) Request for fee waiver or reduction. A request for fee waiver or reduction shall be made in writing and shall address the criteria outlined in paragraphs (b)(1) through (6) of this section. The request should be submitted with the original request for information filed pursuant to § 2702.3(a). If the request is granted, the documents shall be furnished without any charge, or at a charge reduced below the fees otherwise applicable. A waiver or reduction of fees will be granted only if disclosure of the information is determined to be in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the Government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester. The following six factors will be employed in determining when such fees shall be waived or reduced: (1) The subject of the request: Whether the subject of the requested records concerns ‘‘the operations or activities of the Government;’’ (2) The informative value of the information to be disclosed: Whether the disclosure is ‘‘likely to contribute’’ to an understanding of Government operations or activities; (3) The contribution to an understanding of the subject by the general public likely to result from disclosure: Whether disclosure of the requested information will contribute to ‘‘public understanding;’’ (4) The significance of contribution to public understanding: Whether the disclosure is likely to contribute ‘‘significantly’’ to public understanding of Government operations or activities; (5) The existence and magnitude of a commercial interest: Whether the requester has a commercial interest that would be furthered by the requested disclosure; and (6) The primary interest in disclosure: Whether the magnitude of any identified commercial interest of the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:16 Jan 31, 2022 Jkt 256001 requester is sufficiently large, in comparison with the public interest in disclosure, that disclosure is ‘‘primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.’’ (c) Determination. The Chief FOIA Officer, upon request, shall determine whether a waiver or reduction of fees is warranted. § 2702. 11 Payment of fees; advance payments; interest; debt collection. (a) Payment of fees. Upon receipt of the invoice or statement detailing the charges incurred for processing, the requester shall make payment within 30 calendar days to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission or FMSHRC, Attention: Office of the Executive Director, 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 520N, Washington, DC 20004–1710. (b) Advance payment. Before work is commenced or continued on a request, advance payment may be required if the charges are likely to exceed $250. (c) Delinquent requesters. Requesters who have previously failed to pay FOIA processing fees associated with a prior request, within the time mandated by paragraph (a) of this section, and are unable to demonstrate that the fee was previously paid, may be required to first pay the unpaid balance plus any applicable interest and then make an advance payment of the full amount of the estimated fee before the new or pending request is processed. (d) Interest charges. Interest charges may be assessed on any unpaid bill starting on the 31st day following the day on which the billing was sent, at the rate prescribed in 31 U.S.C. 3717, and will accrue from the date of billing. (e) Debt collection. The Debt Collection Act of 1982, Public Law 97– 365, including disclosure to consumer credit reporting agencies and the use of collection agencies, will be utilized to encourage payment where appropriate. § 2702.12 Preservation of records. Pursuant to title 44 of the United States Code or the General Records Schedule 4.2 of the National Archives and Records Administration, the Commission preserves all correspondence pertaining to requests received under this part, as well as copies of all requested records for 6 years following final agency action or 3 years after final adjudication by the courts, whichever is later. The Commission will not dispose of or destroy records while they are the subject of a pending request, appeal, or lawsuit under the FOIA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Horne, Superintendent, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, (906) 387– 2607 ext. 1202, david_horne@nps.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADDRESSES: Background Significance of the Lakeshore Colorful sandstone cliffs tower 50 to 200 feet above the vast and glistening fresh water of Lake Superior. Deep shoreline forests open onto sparking inland lakes, gurgling streams, and waterfalls. Sand dunes perch atop miles of high sand bluffs and unspoiled beaches. Beaver-chewed tree stumps, a raven’s nest balanced high on a rocky ledge, and cloven deer tracks imprinted in the mud hint at the abundance of wildlife that inhabit the beautiful and diverse landscape. These features create the spectacular setting that is Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Congress established this location as the country’s first national lakeshore in 1966 to preserve the shoreline, cliffs, beaches, and dunes, and to provide an extraordinary place for recreation and discovery. Little more than 6 miles across at its widest point, the Lakeshore hugs Lake Superior’s shoreline for nearly 40 miles. The Lakeshore consists of two zones: The Lakeshore Zone, federal land managed by the National Park Service (NPS); and the Inland Buffer Zone, a mixture of federal, state, and private land. Together these zones encompass nearly 73,000 acres of protected land and water that stretch from Munising to Grand Marais, Michigan. Attractions at the Lakeshore include a lighthouse and former Coast Guard stations, along with old farmsteads and orchards. The Lakeshore is a year-round recreational destination where hiking, camping, hunting, nature study, and winter activities abound. NPS Management Authority Over Snowmobile Use The NPS manages the Lakeshore under the NPS Organic Act (54 U.S.C. 100101 et seq.), which gives the NPS broad authority to regulate the use of the lands and waters under its jurisdiction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis

    The Lansing Island Bridge across Grand Canal, mile 0.7, at Indian 
Harbour Beach, FL is a single-leaf

[[Page 5402]]

bascule bridge with a 16 foot vertical clearance at mean high water in 
the closed position. The normal operating schedule for the bridge is 
set forth in 33 CFR 117.285(a). Navigation on the waterway consists 
mainly of recreational mariners.
    The bridge owner, Lansing Island Homeowners Association, Inc. 
requested the Coast Guard consider allowing the drawbridge to remain 
closed to navigation and untended during the overnight hours due to a 
lack of requested openings. We requested a copy of the bridge logs from 
January 1, 2021 through November 30, 2021. After reviewing the logs, 
the Coast Guard found the drawbridge provided three openings between 
the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Two channels provide alternate 
access to Grand Canal. Vessels that can pass beneath the bridge without 
an opening may do so at any time.
    Under this test deviation, from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. daily, the 
draw need not open for the passage of vessels and will be untended. At 
all other times the bridge shall operate on its normal schedule.
    The Coast Guard will also inform waterway users of the change to 
the operating schedule via the Local Notice to Mariners so that vessel 
operators can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by 
the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
