ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) and the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under international agreement, jointly publish and presently administer the St. Lawrence Seaway Regulations and Rules (Practices and Procedures in Canada) in their respective jurisdictions. Under agreement with the SLSMC, the SLSDC is amending the joint regulations by updating the Seaway Regulations and Rules in various categories. The changes will update the following sections of the Regulations and Rules: Condition of Vessels; Seaway Navigation; and, Information and Reports. These amendments are necessary to take account of updated procedures and will enhance the safety of transits through the Seaway. Several of the amendments are merely editorial or for clarification of existing requirements. DATES: This final rule will be effective on March 21, 2016. ADDRESSES: Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or comments received, go to http://www.Regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility; U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-001, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carrie Mann Lavigne, Chief Counsel, Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, 180 Andrews Street, Massena, New York 13662; 315/764-3200. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) and the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under international agreement, jointly publish and presently administer the St. Lawrence Seaway Regulations and Rules (Practices and Procedures in Canada) in their respective jurisdictions. Under agreement with the SLSMC, the SLSDC is amending the joint regulations by updating the Regulations and Rules in various categories. The changes will update the following sections of the Regulations and Rules: Condition of Vessels; Seaway Navigation; and, Information and Reports. These updates are necessary to take account of updated procedures which will enhance the safety of transits through the Seaway. Many of these changes are to clarify existing requirements in the regulations. Where new requirements or regulations are made, an explanation for such a change is provided below. A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on February 5, 2016 (81 FR 6198). No comments were received. The joint regulations will become effective in Canada on March 21, 2016. For consistency, because these are joint regulations under international agreement, and to avoid confusion among users of the Seaway, the SLSDC finds that there is good cause to make the U.S. version of the amendments effective on the same date. Regulatory Notices: Privacy Act: Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (Volume 65, Number 70; Pages 19477-78) or you may visit http://www.Regulations.gov. The SLSDC is amending four sections of the Condition of Vessels portion of the joint Seaway regulations. In Sec. 401.10, ``Mooring lines'', the two Corporations are permitting vessels not greater than 200 m in overall length to use soft lines instead of wire lines. Over the past 3 years, vessels greater than 150 m in overall length have been permitted to use type approved soft lines on a test basis, with successful results. Based on these same results, the SLSDC is amending Sec. 401.11, ``Minimum Requirements--mooring lines and fairleads'' to permit the operator of [[Page 13745]] vessels of more than 150 m but not more than 200 m to use either soft or wire lines. In Sec. 401.13, ``Hand lines'', the SLSDC is changing the maximum diameter of hand lines to 18 mm from 17 mm due to the fact that 17 mm lines are no longer available. The change to Sec. 401.17, ``Pitch indicators and alarms,'' will make a minor administrative change by removing the effective date for the requirement. In the Seaway Navigation portion of the regulations, the two Corporations are making changes in several sections. Section 401.29, ``Maximum draft'', is restructured in order to clarify the requirements for use of an operational Draft Information System. In Sec. 401.37, ``Mooring at tie-up walls'', the Seaway Corporations are requiring that crew members handling lines on tie-up walls wear approved personal flotation devices instead of life jackets that can be can be unsafe due to their bulky nature. The SLSDC is changing the requirement in Sec. 401.45, ``Emergency procedures'', to make clear that when a vessel is entering the locks too fast in an emergency situation, the vessel will not be required to deploy mooring lines. In the Information and Reports section, a change to Sec. 401.79, ``Advance notice of arrival, vessels requiring inspection'' is being made that would require all foreign flagged vessels of 300 GRT or above to submit an electronic Notice of Arrival. The other changes to the joint regulations are merely editorial or to clarify existing requirements. Regulatory Evaluation This regulation involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and therefore Executive Order 12866 does not apply and evaluation under the Department of Transportation's Regulatory Policies and Procedures is not required. Regulatory Flexibility Act Determination I certify that this regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The St. Lawrence Seaway Regulations and Rules primarily relate to commercial users of the Seaway, the vast majority of who are foreign vessel operators. Therefore, any resulting costs will be borne mostly by foreign vessels. Environmental Impact This regulation does not require an environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (49 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.) because it is not a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Federalism The Corporation has analyzed this rule under the principles and criteria in Executive Order 13132, dated August 4, 1999, and have determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant a Federalism Assessment. Unfunded Mandates The Corporation has analyzed this rule under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4, 109 Stat. 48) and determined that it does not impose unfunded mandates on State, local, and tribal governments and the private sector requiring a written statement of economic and regulatory alternatives. Paperwork Reduction Act This regulation has been analyzed under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and does not contain new or modified information collection requirements subject to the Office of Management and Budget review.
