Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 120 / Friday, June 23, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
The Department also proposed to
amend 22 CFR 51.28(a)(3)(i), (a)(4)(i)
and (a)(4)(ii) to allow the non-applying
parent or legal guardian to sign a
statement of consent before a passport
specialist at one of the passport agency
public counters located within the
United States as an alternative to
signing it before a notary public when
an application is pending at a passport
agency/center. However, the
Department has decided to postpone the
publication of these amendments to a
later date. For the same reason, the
Department is not at this time finalizing
the proposal relating to revising the DS–
3053: Statement of Consent for Issuance
of a Passport to a Minor Under Age 16,
to allow for a signature at a passport
agency’s public counter.
Analysis of Comments: The
Department provided 60 days for
comment on the NPRM. The comment
period closed December 19, 2022. The
Department received two responsive
comments regarding the removal of the
CRBA from the list of acceptable
documentary evidence of sole authority/
custody if the CRBA lists only the
applying parent, which is the subject of
this final rule. Neither comment was
opposed to the proposal.
Regulatory Findings
Administrative Procedure Act
The Department of State published
this rulemaking as a proposed rule and
provided 60 days for public comment.
Pursuant to the Administrative
Procedure Act, the rule will be in effect
30 days from the date of publication.

Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Department of State, in
accordance with the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has
reviewed this regulation and, by
approving it, certifies that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities. Only individuals, and no small
entities, apply for passports.
Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995
This rule will not result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any year and it will not significantly
or uniquely affect small governments.
Therefore, no actions were deemed
necessary under the provisions of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995.
Congressional Review Act
The Department does not believe that
this rule is a major rule as defined by
the Congressional Review Act. This rule

does not result in an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million or more; a
major increase in costs or prices; or
significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or on the
ability of United States-based
companies to compete with foreign
based companies in domestic and
import markets.
publish the 30-day notice separately
from this final rule.
Executive Order 12866
The Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has designated this
rule non-significant under Executive
Order 12866. The Department has
reviewed the regulation to ensure its
consistency with the regulatory
philosophy and principles set forth in
that Executive Order. The Department
finds that the cost of this rulemaking to
the public is expected to be minimal.

Executive Order 13563—Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review
The Department of State has
considered this rule in light of
Executive Order 13563, dated January
18, 2011, and affirms that this regulation
is consistent with the guidance therein.
Executive Orders 12372 and 13132—
Federalism
This regulation will not have
substantial direct effects 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. Therefore, in
accordance with section 6 of Executive
Order 13132, it is determined that this
rule does not have sufficient federalism
implications to require consultations or
warrant the preparation of a federalism
summary impact statement. The
regulations implementing E.O. 12372
regarding intergovernmental
consultation on Federal programs and
activities do not apply to this regulation.
Executive Order 13175—Consultation
With Tribal Governments
The Department has determined that
this rulemaking will not have tribal
implications, will not impose
substantial direct compliance costs on
Indian tribal governments, and will not
pre-empt tribal law. Accordingly, the
requirements of E.O. 13175 do not apply
to this rule.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not add or modify
any information collection subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35. The NPRM included the 60day notice for the renewal of Control
No. 1405–0129. The Department will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On November 2, 2015, the President
signed into law the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (Sec. 701 of
Pub. L. 114–74). Beginning in 2017, the
Act requires agencies to make annual
inflationary adjustments to their civil
monetary penalties by January 15th of
each year, in accordance with annual
OMB guidance.
II. Calculation of Annual Adjustment
In December of every year, OMB
issues guidance to agencies to calculate
the annual adjustment. According to
OMB, the cost-of-living adjustment
multiplier for fiscal year 2023 is
1.07745, based on the Consumer Price
Index for the month of October 2022,
not seasonally adjusted.
Pursuant to this guidance, the
Commission has calculated the annual
adjustment level of the civil monetary
penalty contained in 25 CFR 575.4
(‘‘The Chairman may assess a civil fine,
not to exceed $57,527 per violation,
against a tribe, management contractor,
or individual operating Indian gaming
for each notice of violation . . .’’). The
2023 adjusted level of the civil
monetary penalty is $61,983 ($57,527 ×
1.07745).

This final rule is not a significant rule
under Executive Order 12866.
(1) This rule will not have an effect of
$100 million or more on the economy or
will not adversely affect, in a material
way, the economy, productivity,
competition, jobs, the environment,
public health or safety, or state, local, or
tribal governments or communities.
(2) This rule will not create a serious
inconsistency or otherwise interfere
with an action taken or planned by
another agency.
(3) This rule does not involve
entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan
programs or the rights or obligations of
recipients.
(4) This regulatory change does not
raise novel legal or policy issues.

Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Commission certifies that this
rule will not have a significant
economic effect on a substantial number
of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
because the rule makes annual
adjustments for inflation.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act
This final rule is not a major rule
under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act. It will not result in the
expenditure by state, local, or tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector of $100 million or more
in any one year. The rule will not result
in a major increase in costs or prices for
consumers, individual industries,
federal, state, or local government
agencies, or geographic regions. Nor will
this rule have significant adverse effects
on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or
the ability of the U.S.-based enterprises
to compete with foreign-based
enterprises.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This final rule does not impose an
unfunded mandate of more than $100
million per year on state, local, or tribal
governments or the private sector. The
rule also does not have a significant or
unique effect on state, local, or tribal
governments or the private sector.
Therefore, a statement containing the
information required by the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) is not required.
Takings
Under the criteria in Executive Order
12630, this final rule does not affect
individual property rights protected by
the Fifth Amendment nor does it
involve a compensable ‘‘taking.’’ Thus,
a takings implication assessment is not
required.
Federalism
Under the criteria in Executive Order
13132, this final rule has no 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.
Civil Justice Reform
This final rule complies with the
requirements of Executive Order 12988.
Specifically, this rule has been reviewed
to eliminate errors and ambiguity and
written to minimize litigation. It is
PO 00000

written in clear language and contains
clear legal standards.
Consultation With Indian Tribes
In accordance with the President’s
memorandum of April 29, 1994,
Government-to-Government Relations
with Native American Tribal
Governments, Executive Order 13175
(59 FR 22951, November 6, 2000), the
Commission has determined that
consultations with Indian gaming tribes
is not practicable, as Congress has
mandated that annual civil penalty
adjustments in the Act be implemented
no later than January 15th of each year.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not affect any
information collections under the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
National Environmental Policy Act
This final rule does not constitute a
major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment.
Information Quality Act
In developing this final rule, the
Commission did not conduct or use a
study, experiment, or survey requiring
peer review under the Information
Quality Act (Pub. L. 106–554).
Effects on the Energy Supply
This final rule is not a significant
energy action under the definition in
Executive Order 13211. A Statement of
Energy Effects is not required.
Clarity of This Regulation
The Commission is required by
Executive Orders 12866 and 12988 and
by the Presidential Memorandum of
June 1, 1998, to write all rules in plain
language. This means that each rule that
the Commission publishes must:
(a) be logically organized;
(b) use the active voice to address
readers directly;
(c) use clear language rather than
jargon;
(d) be divided into short sections and
sentences; and
(e) use lists and tables wherever
possible.
Required Determinations Under the
Administrative Procedure Act
In accordance with the Act, agencies
are to annually adjust civil monetary
penalties without providing an
opportunity for notice and comment,
and without a delay in its effective date.
Therefore, the Commission is not
required to complete a notice and
comment process prior to promulgation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 certain
details of the event were not available
until two weeks prior to the event.
Therefore, the Coast Guard lacks
sufficient time to provide a reasonable
comment period and then consider
those comments before issuing the rule.
Immediate action is needed to prevent
vessels from approaching the location in
Charleston, SC of persons under the
protection of the United States Secret
Service (USSS protectees). It is
impracticable to publish an NPRM
because we must establish this security
zone by June 24, 2023. It would be
contrary to public interest to postpone
establishing the temporary security
zone.
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 to
prevent interference with the USSS
protectees attendance at the

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70124. The
Captain of the Port (COTP) Charleston
has determined that the USSS
protectees visit on June 24, 2023,
presents a potential target for terrorist
attack, sabotage, or other subversive
acts, accidents, or other causes of a
similar nature. This security zone is
necessary to protect the official party,
public, and surrounding waterways
adjacent to the visit site in Charleston,
South Carolina.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a security zone
from 8 a.m. through 2 p.m. on June 24,
2023. The security zone will cover an
area approximately 500 yards in width
by 615 yards in length on the Cooper
River along the waterfront of Charleston,
South Carolina as follows. All navigable
waters of the Cooper River beginning at
32°47′24.87″ N, 079°55′28.41″ W, thence
500 yards east to 32°47′24.87″ N,
079°55′10.84″ W, thence south 615
yards to 32°47′4.74″ N, 079°55′10.84″ W,
thence west to 32°47′4.74″ N,
079°55′25.32″ W, thence north along the
shoreline to the point of origin.
The duration of the zone is intended
ensure the security of the USSS
protectees before, during, and
immediately after the scheduled event.
No vessel or person will be permitted to
enter, transit through, anchor in or
remain within the security zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or
a designated representative. If
authorization to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the security
zone is granted by the COTP or a
designated representative, all persons
and vessels receiving such authorization
must comply with the instructions of
the COTP or a designated
representative.
The Coast Guard will provide notice
of the security zone by Broadcast Notice
to Mariners and by on-scene designated
representatives.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.

based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders, and we discuss First

I. Background
On November 2, 2015, the President signed into law the Federal
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Sec.
701 of Pub. L. 114-74). Beginning in 2017, the Act requires agencies to

operating Indian gaming for each notice of violation . . .''). The 2023

III. Regulatory Matters
Regulatory Planning and Review
This final rule is not a significant rule under Executive Order
12866.
(1) This rule will not have an effect of $100 million or more on
the economy or will not adversely affect, in a material way, the

makes annual adjustments for inflation.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This final rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. It will not result
in the expenditure by state, local, or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of $100 million or more in any one
year. The rule will not result in a major increase in costs or prices
for consumers, individual industries, federal, state, or local
government agencies, or geographic regions. Nor will this rule have
significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or the ability of the U.S.-based enterprises
to compete with foreign-based enterprises.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This final rule does not impose an unfunded mandate of more than
$100 million per year on state, local, or tribal governments or the
private sector. The rule also does not have a significant or unique
effect on state, local, or tribal governments or the private sector.
Therefore, a statement containing the information required by the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is not required.
Takings
Under the criteria in Executive Order 12630, this final rule does
not affect individual property rights protected by the Fifth Amendment
nor does it involve a compensable ``taking.'' Thus, a takings
implication assessment is not required.
Federalism
Under the criteria in Executive Order 13132, this final rule has no
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.
Civil Justice Reform
This final rule complies with the requirements of Executive Order
12988. Specifically, this rule has been reviewed to eliminate errors
and ambiguity and written to minimize litigation. It is written in
clear language and contains clear legal standards.
Consultation With Indian Tribes
In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994,
Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal
Governments, Executive Order 13175 (59 FR 22951, November 6, 2000), the
Commission has determined that consultations with Indian gaming tribes
is not practicable, as Congress has mandated that annual civil penalty
adjustments in the Act be implemented no later than January 15th of
each year.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not affect any information collections under
the Paperwork Reduction Act.
National Environmental Policy Act
This final rule does not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Information Quality Act
In developing this final rule, the Commission did not conduct or
use a study, experiment, or survey requiring peer review under the

Effects on the Energy Supply
This final rule is not a significant energy action under the
definition in Executive Order 13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is
not required.
Clarity of This Regulation
The Commission is required by Executive Orders 12866 and 12988 and
by the Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 1998, to write all rules in
plain language. This means that each rule that the Commission publishes
