Introduction FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION On May 22, 2024, the Federal Maritime Commission (Commission) initiated an investigation, pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 42302, of whether conditions created by the Government of Canada (Canada) in connection with regulation of ballast water management systems adversely affect the operation of United States carriers in the United States/ Canada Great Lakes trade, in particular the carriers operating vessels that may become subject to regulation in September 2024, within the meaning of 46 U.S. Code, chapter 423 (Foreign Shipping Practices) (46 U.S.C. 42301– 307). Having determined that the investigation would be enhanced by gathering and reviewing additional information, the Commission now extends by 90 days, from September 19, 2024, to December 18, 2024, the time for decision under 46 U.S.C. 42302(c).

[FR Doc. 2024–20692 Filed 9–11–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6712–01–P Extension of Time for Decision in Investigation Into Conditions Affecting United States Carriers in Connection With Canadian Ballast Water Regulation in the United States/Canada Great Lakes Trade Federal Maritime Commission. Notice of extension of time and request for comments. AGENCY: ACTION: The Federal Maritime Commission (Commission) has extended by 90 days the time for decision in its investigation into conditions created by the Government of Canada (Canada) in connection with regulation of ballast water management systems that may adversely affect the operation of United States carriers in the United States/Canada Great Lakes trade. DATES: Submit comments on or before October 15, 2024. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FMC–2024– 0008, by the following method: Federal eRulemaking Portal: Your comments must be written and in English. You may submit your comments electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov. To submit comments on that site, search for Docket No. FMC–2024–0008 and follow the instructions provided. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions regarding submitting comments or the treatment of any confidential information, contact David Eng, Secretary; Phone: (202) 523–5725; Email: Secretary@fmc.gov. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 On May 22, 2024, the Commission on its own motion initiated a Chapter 423 investigation into Canadian ballast water management regulation in the Great Lakes. See Investigation into Conditions Affecting United States Carriers in Connection with Canadian Ballast Water Regulation in the United States/Canada Great Lakes Trade, FMC– 2024–0008, 89 FR 44979 (May 22, 2024) (May 2024 Notice of Investigation). In 2020, the Commission had opened an investigation under 46 U.S. Code, chapter 421 following a petition by the Lake Carriers Association (LCA). See FMC Docket No. 20–10. The petition alleged that Canadian regulation set to take effect in September 2024 would create conditions unfavorable to shipping by requiring U.S. vessels to install new ballast water management systems. Meanwhile, it became apparent that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in its rulemaking to implement the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (VIDA), is likely to issue rules that are less restrictive than those of Canada. May 2024 Notice of Investigation, 89 FR 44979. In a February 2024 letter, the LCA had noted that only a small group of U.S. Lakers built after 2008 (five vessels) would be affected by the Canadian regulation in 2024, with about 50 older Lakers not subject to it until 2030. Id. The Commission’s Notice of Investigation was issued on May 22, 2024 which, under the 120-day time limit set by 46 U.S.C. 42302(c), means the current deadline to complete the investigation is September 19, 2024.
