ACTION: Reopening of comment period. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is reopening the comment period on the draft Alternative Planning Criteria (APC) National Guidelines. The available draft is the same as that which was made available for comment in May 2016. The APC Guidelines would provide the maritime industry with updated information on the development and submission of an APC request made pursuant to existing regulations. In addition to providing guidance to vessel owners and operators on developing APC requests, the APC Guidelines would also facilitate consistency in the review of APC requests by Coast Guard personnel. Comments previously submitted do not need to be submitted again. DATES: Comments must reach the USCG by April 10, 2017. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG- 2016-0437 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

Discussion The U.S. Coast Guard Office of Marine Environmental Response Policy is continuing to refine its national-level policy to clarify APC submissions and processes pursuant to 33 CFR 155.1065 and 155.5067. We made a draft policy available for public comment on May 27, 2016 (81 FR 33685), and held a public meeting on September 21, 2016, during the public comment period (81 FR 54584). The Coast Guard is aware of APC's critical role in tank and non-tank vessel response preparedness, and therefore desires to thoroughly consider all facets of the policy's implementation. Although open to any comments, the Coast Guard is specifically interested in comments related to the economic impact of the policy, especially in remote areas. Additionally, the Coast Guard is interested in public comment regarding the exercise and verification aspects of the policy. The Coast Guard will consider all of the information received from public comments, including the comments received at the public meeting held on September 21, 2016, as well as written comments submitted during the open comment periods. This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552. Dated: January 4, 2017. Joseph B. Loring, Office of Marine Environmental Response Policy.
