Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) generally requires an agency to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements, unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. As discussed above, the changes in this final rule are limited to clarifying that HUD or a PBCA may assume the HAP Contract administrator responsibilities when the ACC between HUD or an HFA expires. The rulemaking also clarifies how residual receipts and reserve for replacement accounts may be transferred following assumption of contract administration duties by a new party. These regulatory changes conform with longstanding HUD policy and practice. Accordingly, the undersigned certifies that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Executive Order 13132, Federalism Executive Order 13132 (Federalism) prohibits an agency from publishing any rule that has federalism implications if the rule either: (1) imposes substantial direct compliance costs on State and local governments and is not required by statute, or (2) the rule preempts State law, unless the agency meets the consultation and funding requirements of section 6 of the Executive order. This final rule does not have federalism implications and does not impose substantial direct compliance costs on State and local governments or preempt State law within the meaning of the Executive order. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 List of Subjects in 24 CFR Part 883 Accounting, Administrative practice and procedure, Government contracts, Grant programs-housing and community development, Low and moderate income housing, Public assistance programs, Public housing, Rent subsidies, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, State and local governments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History In the last several years, the Columbia River Marine Transportation System has seen an increase in commercial traffic and vessel size near the Lower Columbia River, thus creating a concern for anchorage capacity within the river system. The Columbia River Steamship Operators Association and the Columbia River Pilots formally requested the Coast Guard review and evaluate the establishment of this new anchorage ground to address the safety and navigation concerns with the expanding vessel traffic in the Lower Columbia River. In response, on December 28, PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 96099 2023, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled ‘‘Establish Anchorage Ground; Port Westward Anchorage, Columbia River, Oregon and Washington’’ (88 FR 89644). There we stated why we issued the NPRM and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action to establish this anchorage ground. During the comment period that ended February 26, 2024, we received 39 comments. The Coast Guard opened another 30-day comment period that ended June 7, 2024 (89 FR 38853), in which we received an additional 3 comments. In total, we had 90 days of comment period and received 42 total comments, including some duplicate submissions. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule Under Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 109.05, the Commandant of the Coast Guard has delegated the authority to establish anchorage grounds to Coast Guard District Commanders. The Coast Guard establishes anchorage grounds under Section 7 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of March 4, 1915, as amended (38 Stat. 1053; 46 U.S.C. 70006) and places these regulations in Title 33 CFR part 110, subpart B. The purpose of this rule is to establish a Federal anchorage ground in the Lower Columbia River to improve safety of navigation by creating additional anchorage grounds for the increased vessel traffic transiting through the Lower Columbia River. The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule As noted above, we received 42 total comments on our NPRM during the 2 comment periods. A few of the comments were duplicates. All comments received fully support this rule. We received significant input regarding how important it is to establish this anchorage, with many describing the environmental, safety, and economic benefits of this proposed anchorage, particularly in light of the increase in ship size in the channel since the 1970’s. One comment suggested adding a stern anchor buoy to the anchorage. The United States Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for the establishment of stern anchor buoys, interested parties may request the addition of a buoy after the completion of this regulatory process. Another comment asked the Coast Guard to consider two observations regarding the establishment of the proposed anchorage ground. First, the anchorage ground depth. Second, a charted sandwave area that intersects the E:\FR\FM\04DER1.SGM 04DER1
