ACTION:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under
section 721(d)(1) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
379e(d)(1)), we are giving notice that we
have filed a color additive petition (CAP
5C0336), submitted on behalf of
Impossible Foods, Inc. by Exponent,
1150 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 1100,
Washington, DC 20036. The petition
proposes to amend the color additive
regulations in 21 CFR 73.520, ‘‘Soy
leghemoglobin,’’ to expand the safe use
of soy leghemoglobin to include use in
plant-based meat, poultry, and fish
analogue products (ground and whole
cut).
The petitioner has claimed that this
action is categorically excluded under
21 CFR 25.32(k) because the substance
is intended to remain in food through
ingestion by consumers and is not
intended to replace macronutrients in
food. In addition, the petitioner has
stated that, to their knowledge, no
extraordinary circumstances exist (see
21 CFR 25.21). If FDA determines a
categorical exclusion applies, neither an
environmental assessment nor an
environmental impact statement is
required. If FDA determines a
categorical exclusion does not apply, we
will request an environmental
assessment and make it available for
public inspection.

Facility. Since the implementation of

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
In February 2024, the Coast Guard
was notified that Chemical Formulators
Chlorine Facility was no longer in
operation. The purpose of this
rulemaking is to disestablish a security
zone described in 33 CFR
165.703(a)(1)(i); in certain waters of Old
Tampa Bay, Tampa, FL. With the
closure of Chemical Formulators
Chlorine facility, the security zone is no
longer necessary. The Coast Guard is
proposing this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard is proposing to
disestablish the security zone for
facilities and structures; Rattlesnake,
Tampa, FL in § 165.703(a)(1)(i). The
regulation places unnecessary
restrictions on vessel movement in Old
Tampa Bay. The regulatory text we are

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 49 / Friday, March 14, 2025 / Proposed Rules
proposing appears at the end of this
document.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
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 NPRM has not been designated a
‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094
(Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the need to align the
regulations with the current
arrangements of the port as the
waterfront facility safety zone is no
longer required.
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 proposed rule would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rulemaking would economically
affect it.
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 proposed rule. If the
proposed rule would affect your small
business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:09 Mar 13, 2025
Jkt 265001
compliance, please call or email the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section. The Coast
Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about
this proposed rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have
Tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175 (Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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.
If you believe this proposed rule has
implications for federalism or Indian
tribes, please call or email the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.
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
proposed rule would not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
potential effects of this proposed rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment

Security Directive 023–01, Rev. 1,
associated implementing instructions,

with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination
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 proposed
rule involves disestablishing a security
zone. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L60(b) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. We
seek any comments or information that
may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.
V. Public Participation and Request for
Comments
We view public participation as
essential to effective rulemaking and
will consider all comments and material
received during the comment period.

outcome of this rulemaking. If you
submit a comment, please include the

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Coast Guard
33 CFR Part 165
[Docket Number USCG-2024-1098]
RIN 1625-AA87
Security Zones; Tampa Bay: Big Bend, Boca Grande, Crystal River,
East Bay, Hillsborough Bay, MacDill Air Force Base, Manbirtee Key, Old
Port Tampa, Port Manatee, Port Tampa, Port St. Petersburg, Port Sutton,
Rattlesnake, and Weedon Island, FL
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to disestablish the existing
security zone for Rattlesnake, Tampa, FL in old Tampa Bay, including on
land portions of the Chemical Formulators Chlorine Facility. Since the
implementation of the regulation, the facility has permanently ceased
operations making the provisions of the security zone no longer
applicable. This proposed action would remove existing regulations that
restrict vessel movement through the area. We invite your comments on
this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 14, 2025.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2024-1098 using the Federal Decision-Making Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments. This notice of proposed rulemaking
with its plain-language, 100-word-or-less proposed rule summary will be
available in this same docket.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant Ryan McNaughton. Sector
St. Petersburg, Ports & Waterways Branch Chief, U.S. Coast Guard;
telephone (813) 228-2191 ext. 8142, email [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Table of Abbreviations
CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Sector St. Petersburg
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
In February 2024, the Coast Guard was notified that Chemical
Formulators Chlorine Facility was no longer in operation. The purpose
of this rulemaking is to disestablish a security zone described in 33
CFR 165.703(a)(1)(i); in certain waters of Old Tampa Bay, Tampa, FL.
With the closure of Chemical Formulators Chlorine facility, the
security zone is no longer necessary. The Coast Guard is proposing this
rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard is proposing to disestablish the security zone for
facilities and structures; Rattlesnake, Tampa, FL in Sec.
165.703(a)(1)(i). The regulation places unnecessary restrictions on
vessel movement in Old Tampa Bay. The regulatory text we are
[[Page 12119]]
proposing appears at the end of this document.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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 NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination is based on the need to align
the regulations with the current arrangements of the port as the
waterfront facility safety zone is no longer required.
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
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this rulemaking would economically affect it.
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 proposed rule. If the proposed 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. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have Tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the potential effects of
this proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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 made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves
disestablishing a security zone. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(b) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. We
seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
V. Public Participation and Request for Comments
We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
