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 the
party conducting the work notified the
Coast Guard with insufficient time to
accommodate a comment period. It is
impracticable to publish an NPRM
because we must establish this safety
zone by December 1, 2022 in order to
protect the public with the hazards
associated with this demolition project.
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 would be impracticable
because immediate action is needed in
order to protect the public with the
hazards associated with this demolition
project.
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 Detroit (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards
associated with the bridge demolition
occurring between December 1, 2022–
December 3, 2022, will be a safety
concern for anyone transiting near the I–
75 bridge on the Maumee River. This
rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in
the navigable waters within the safety
zone while the bridge is being
demolished.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 1 p.m. through 3 p.m. on December
1, 2022 and December 2, 2022. In the
case of inclement weather, this safety
zone will be enforced from 1 p.m.
E:\FR\FM\01DER1.SGM
01DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 230 / Thursday, December 1, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
through 3 p.m. on December 3, 2022.
The safety zone will cover all navigable
waters 800 feet up and down river from
surface to bottom, below the old
Michael V. DiSalle Memorial (I–75)
Bridge located at 41°37′36.026″ N
83°32′30.552″ W. The duration of the
safety zone is intended to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters
while the bridge is being demolished.
No vessel or person will be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
designated representative.
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.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
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.
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).
This regulatory action determination
is based on size, location, duration, and
time-of-day of the safety zone.
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 safety
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

$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 safety
zone that will prohibit entry into the
waters 800 feet up and down river of the
Michael V. DiSalle Memorial (I–75)
Bridge while it is demolished. It is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L[60(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

Final rule.
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations
that govern National Service Life
Insurance (NSLI), among other things, to
accomplish the following: implement
provisions contained in legislation that
authorized a new program of insurance;
clarify which individuals are eligible to
take actions on an insurance policy;
explain various provisions regarding
coverage and benefits under the new
insurance program; and state which
individuals are ineligible to benefit from
the unlawful and wrongful killing of a
veteran policyholder.
DATES: This final rule is effective
January 3, 2023.

is not a toll-free number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
14, 2022, VA published a proposed
rulemaking in the Federal Register
pertaining to the implementation of a
new program of life insurance that will
begin issuing policies on January 1,
2023. (87 FR 42118). VA provided the
public with a 60-day comment period
which closed on September 12, 2022.
VA did not receive any comments from
the public. Based on the rationale set
forth in the Federal Register, VA adopts
the proposed rule, without change, as a
final rule.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.) 12866 and
13563 direct agencies to assess the costs
and benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, when regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, and other advantages;
distributive impacts; and equity). E.O.
13563 (Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review) emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, reducing costs,
harmonizing rules, and promoting
flexibility. The Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs has determined
that this final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under E.O. 12866. The
Regulatory Impact Analysis associated
with this rulemaking can be found as a
supporting document at
www.regulations.gov.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Secretary hereby certifies that
this final rule will not have a significant
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities as they are
defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612). This final rule
would generally be small business
neutral as it implements statutory
provisions that only allow the United
States to issue life insurance coverage to
veterans with service-connected
disabilities. 38 U.S.C. 1922B(a)(1)
(‘‘[T]he Secretary shall carry out a
service-disabled veterans insurance
program under which a veteran is
granted insurance by the United States
against the death of such individual
occurring while such insurance is in
force.’’). Although there are statutes in
38 U.S.C. 1901–1988 that allow VA to
purchase a large group life insurance
policy from a private commercial
insurer, those statutory authorities only
apply to the Servicemembers’ Group
Life Insurance Program, which provides
life insurance coverage to Service
members and their dependents and
former Service members, and they do
not provide VA with the authority to
purchase a group life insurance policy
from a private insurer for purposes of
providing VALife coverage. As such, the
overall impact of this final rule would
be of no benefit or detriment to small
businesses, because these insurance
policies would only be issued by the
United States to veterans with serviceconnected disabilities. Therefore,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the initial
and final regulatory flexibility analysis
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 do
not apply.
Unfunded Mandates
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that
agencies prepare an assessment of
anticipated costs and benefits before
issuing any rule that may result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
(adjusted annually for inflation) in any
one year. This final rule would have no
such effect on State, local, and tribal
governments, or on the private sector.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule includes provisions
constituting new collections of
information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3521) that require approval by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB).
Accordingly, under 44 U.S.C. 3507(d),
VA has submitted a copy of this
rulemaking action to OMB for review
and approval. OMB has reviewed and
approved the new collections of
information and assigned OMB Control
Numbers 2900–0906 and 2900–0918.

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 the party conducting the work
notified the Coast Guard with insufficient time to accommodate a
comment period. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must
establish this safety zone by December 1, 2022 in order to protect the
public with the hazards associated with this demolition project.
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 would be impracticable because immediate action is needed in
order to protect the public with the hazards associated with this
demolition project.
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 Detroit
(COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with the bridge
demolition occurring between December 1, 2022-December 3, 2022, will be
a safety concern for anyone transiting near the I-75 bridge on the
Maumee River. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and
the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone
while the bridge is being demolished.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone from 1 p.m. through 3 p.m. on
December 1, 2022 and December 2, 2022. In the case of inclement
weather, this safety zone will be enforced from 1 p.m.
[[Page 73651]]
through 3 p.m. on December 3, 2022. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters 800 feet up and down river from surface to bottom,
below the old Michael V. DiSalle Memorial (I-75) Bridge located at
41[deg]37'36.026'' N 83[deg]32'30.552'' W. The duration of the safety
zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters while the bridge is being
demolished. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative.
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. 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).
This regulatory action determination is based on size, location,
duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone.
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
safety 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
safety zone that will prohibit entry into the waters 800 feet up and
down river of the Michael V. DiSalle Memorial (I-75) Bridge while it is
demolished. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph L[60(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.
