SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    The terrorist attacks of September 2001 killed thousands of people 
and heightened the need for security checks on all modes of travel, 
particularly those modes by which foreign nationals can enter the 
country. In the maritime context, extra time is needed for security 
checks. Vessels bound for U.S. ports and places could experience delays 
in entering port if required arrival information is not received early 
enough.
    On October 4, 2001, we published a temporary final rule entitled 
``Temporary Requirements for Notification of Arrival in U.S. Ports'' in 
the Federal Register (66 FR 50565). Subsequently, we published two 
corrections in the Federal Register [November 19, 2001 (66 FR 57877)] 
and [January 18, 2002 (67 FR 2571)]. The temporary rule increased the 
time for submission of a notice of arrival (NOA) from 24 to 96 hours 
prior to arriving at port; required centralized submissions; 
temporarily withdrew exemptions from reporting requirements for some 
groups of vessels; and required passenger, crew, and cargo information.
    We are extending the effective period of the temporary final rule 
so that we can complete a rulemaking [(USCG-2001-11865), RIN 2115-AG35, 
``Notification of Arrival in U.S. Ports''] to permanently change the 
notice of arrival requirements. Extending the effective date until 
September 30, 2002, should provide us enough time to complete the 
rulemaking.
    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this 
rule and it is being made effective less than thirty days after 
publication in the Federal Register. When we promulgated the October 4 
rule, we intended to either allow it to expire on June 15, 2002, or to 
cancel it if we made permanent changes before that date. We are now 
preparing an NPRM to make permanent changes to the notice of arrival 
requirements. That rulemaking will follow normal notice and comment 
procedures, and a final rule should be published before September 30, 
2002. Continuing the temporary rule in effect while the permanent 
rulemaking is in progress will help to ensure the security of our ports 
and the uninterrupted flow of maritime commerce during that period. 
Therefore, the Coast Guard finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553 (b)(B) 
and (d)(3) for why a notice of proposed

[[Page 37683]]

rulemaking and opportunity for comment is not required and why this 
rule will be made effective fewer than 30 days after publication in the 
Federal Register.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This temporary rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' 
under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and 
Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and 
benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. It has not been reviewed 
by the Office of Management and Budget under that Order. It is not 
``significant'' under the regulatory policies and procedures of the 
Department of Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040, February 26, 1979).
    We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a 
full Regulatory Assessment under paragraph 10(e) of the regulatory 
policies and procedures of DOT is unnecessary; however, a Regulatory 
Assessment has been prepared and may be viewed in the docket for this 
project. As discussed in the temporary final rule preamble, the Coast 
Guard has temporarily changed the notice of arrival (NOA) regulations. 
When assessing the impact of the temporary requirements, we estimated 
that providing the Coast Guard with the additional information about 
passengers, crew, and cargo will impose minimal burden on vessels 
already complying with the notification requirements of 33 CFR part 
160, subpart C. We estimated that, by suspending some exemptions, the 
temporary rule imposed a heavier burden on vessels that were exempt 
from reporting but that are now required to report in accordance with 
[sect] 160.T208. As explained below, the total cost of this temporary 
rule should not exceed $754,648:
    Cost and Burden. Coast Guard data on Notification of Arrival 
information for 1998 and 1999 were used to estimate the maximum 
populations affected by the temporary rule. Table 1 categorizes the 
affected vessel population into four sub-populations. They are:
    [sbull] ``Non-AMVER/Non-Great Lakes Vessels''--vessels already 
required to comply with NOA regulations;
    [sbull] ``AMVER''--vessels complying with the Automated Mutual 
Assistance Vessel Rescue system and that were exempt from NOA 
requirements prior to the temporary rule;
    [sbull] ``Great Lakes Vessels''--vessels greater than 300 gross 
tons, on Great Lakes routes, that were exempt from NOA requirements 
prior to the temporary rule; and
    [sbull] ``Vessels on Scheduled Routes''--vessels operating upon a 
route that is described in a schedule that is submitted to the Captain 
of the Port for each port or place of destination listed in the 
schedule.
    The table also sets out the number of vessels and their total 
number of U.S. port calls (arrivals) for each vessel sub-population.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\*\ These estimates include vessels on scheduled routes that will experience about the same costs as the other
  vessels in this population.

    Vessels less than 300 gross tons making ports of call in the 
Seventh Coast Guard District have to file NOA reports with the COTP. 
The temporary rule maintained this requirement, and the estimate of the 
vessels and port calls presented in Table 1 accounted for this special 
group.
    Before the temporary final rule, vessels had to file multiple NOA 
reports if they were visiting multiple U.S. ports on the same voyage. 
Under the temporary rule, vessels making calls to multiple U.S. ports 
do not have to file multiple NOA reports; rather, the temporary rule 
allows a single report listing all destinations in the United States 
along with estimated arrival dates for each port. The Coast Guard did 
not collect or maintain information on the number of vessels that made 
multiple U.S. port calls under separate NOA reports to estimate the 
number of consolidated reports under the temporary rule. The totals 
above, therefore, represent a conservative estimate, a ``worst-case 
scenario,'' of the numbers of vessels and NOA reports that will be 
affected by the temporary rule.
    Finally, vessels that make scheduled trips outside of their COTP 
zones will no longer be exempt from reporting requirements. We do not 
know how many of these vessels and port calls exist, though we know 
they are included in the population of non-AMVER/non-Great Lakes 
vessels. For the purposes of analysis, these vessels and port calls are 
included in the non-AMVER/non-Great Lakes population.

Cost of the Temporary Rule

    Minimal burden will be imposed on vessels whose applicability to 
the NOA reporting requirements was upheld by the temporary rule because 
the cargo, crew, and passenger information they provide to the Coast 
Guard is already collected on a form submitted to the Immigration and 
Naturalization Services (INS) (INS form I-418). We assumed 10 minutes 
(0.167 hours) will be spent retrieving and transmitting the cargo, 
crew, and passenger information. We assumed that there will be a $2 
transmittal fee (fax, email, telephone, etc.) to provide this 
information to the Coast Guard. We assumed that clerical labor will 
complete these tasks at a cost of $31.00 per hour (loaded labor rate, 
2001). Based on 1998 and 1999 data, we estimated 63,286 port calls will 
be made over the time period of this rulemaking (12 months--until 
September 30, 2002). The summary of unit costs and total rulemaking 
costs for non-AMVER/non-Great Lakes vessels is presented in Table 2.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* These estimates include vessels on scheduled routes that will experience about the same costs as the other vessels in this population.

    Vessels that were previously exempt from NOA requirements must now, 
as a result of the temporary rule, provide the Coast Guard with NOA 
reports in addition to providing the cargo, crew, and passenger 
information. These vessels (AMVER and vessels that transit only the 
Great Lakes) will incur the new cost of submitting an NOA report, since 
they did not have to submit this report in the past. Based on the OMB-
approved Collection of Information for NOA (OMB-2115-0557), we 
estimated that it will take 10 minutes (0.167 hours) to complete the 
report, plus an additional 5 minutes (0.083 hours) for the general 
description of the cargo. We assumed that clerical labor will complete 
the report at a cost of $31.00 per hour. Additionally, these vessels 
will need to develop and submit the cargo, crew, and passenger 
information. Based on information from the INS (OMB-1115-0083), it will 
require 60 minutes (1.000 hour) to complete both lists, for a total of 
75 minutes (1.250 hours) for the entire submission (NOA report, cargo 
description, crew and passenger information). There will be a $2 
transmittal fee to provide the information to the Coast Guard. Based on 
1998 and 1999 data, we estimated that 4,853 port calls will be made 
over the time period of this rulemaking. The summary of unit costs and 
total rulemaking costs for AMVER/Great Lakes vessels is presented in 
Table 3.

    Finally, all vessels affected will need to communicate with the 
National Vessel Movement Center (NVMC) upon departure from a U.S. port 
when their next port of call is also a U.S. port. Vessels are to phone 
or fax the date of departure to the NVMC along with the name of the 
port just departed. The NVMC will transmit this information to the COTP 
in the next port of call. We assumed that reporting this will require 1 
minute (0.017 hours) per departure and that clerical labor ($31.00 per 
hour) will make the call or send the fax. We assumed the transmittal 
fee will be $1.00 per call/fax. There will be an estimated 68,139 
departures over the 12-month period of the temporary rule (until 
September 30, 2002). The cost and burden for notifying NVMC of the date 
of departure and last port of call is presented in Table 4.

Need for the Temporary Rule

    This rule will ensure the timely receipt of advance information 
about vessels and people entering U.S. ports and will help minimize 
disruption to commerce. The additional information required by this 
temporary rule will increase security and provide protection for the 
nation's ports and waterways. There will be some savings from the 
consolidated NOA submission for two or more consecutive arrivals at 
U.S. ports.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities. 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. 
This rule was not preceded by a general notice of proposed rulemaking 
and, therefore, is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act. Although this rule is exempt, we have reviewed it for 
potential economic impact on small entities.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will 
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 
rule will have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a 
comment to the Docket Management Facility at the address under 
ADDRESSES. In your comment, explain why you think it qualifies and how 
and to what degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal 
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal 
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory 
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory 
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and 
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to

Collection of Information

    This rule modifies an existing collection of information under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). As defined in 5 
CFR 1320.3(c), ``collection of information'' comprises reporting, 
recordkeeping, monitoring, posting, labeling, and other similar 
actions. The title and description of the information collection, a 
description of those who must collect the information, and an estimate 
of the total annual burden follow. The estimate covers the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing sources of data, gathering 
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection.
    Title: Advance Notice of Vessel Arrival and Departure.
    OMB Control Number: 2115-0557.
    Summary of the Collection of Information: The Coast Guard requires 
pre-arrival messages from any vessel entering a port or place in the 
United States. This rule will amend 33 CFR part 160 to temporarily 
require:
    [sbull] Earlier receipt of the notice of arrival--96 hours instead 
of 24 hours--from vessels currently required to provide advance 
notification of arrival;
    [sbull] Submission of NOA reports to a central clearinghouse, the 
National Vessel Movement Center;
    [sbull] Suspension of the current exemption from notice of arrival 
reporting requirements for vessels operating in compliance with the 
Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue System, some vessels 
operating on the Great Lakes, and vessels on scheduled routes; and
    [sbull] Additional information about crewmembers, passengers, 
cargoes on board the vessel to be provided as items in the notice of 
arrival report.
    The temporary changes will be in effect until September 30, 2002.
    Need for Information: To ensure port safety and security and to 
ensure the uninterrupted flow of commerce, the Coast Guard must 
temporarily change regulations relating to the Notifications of Arrival 
requirements.
    Proposed Use of Information: This information is required to 
control vessel traffic, develop contingency plans, and enforce 
regulations.
    Description of the Respondents: The respondents are owners, agents, 
masters, operators, or persons in charge of vessels bound for or 
departing from U.S. ports.
    Number of Respondents: The existing OMB-approved collection number 
of respondents is 9,834. This temporary rule will increase the number 
of respondents by 533 to a total of 10,367.
    Frequency of Response: The existing OMB-approved collection annual 
number of responses is 126,722. This temporary rule will increase the 
number of responses by 9,556 to a total of 136,278.
    Burden of Response: The existing OMB-approved collection burden of 
response is 10 minutes (0.167 hours). This temporary rule will increase 
the burden of response by 5 minutes (0.083 hours) to a total of 15 
minutes (0.250 hours).
    Estimate of Total Annual Burden: The existing OMB-approved 
collection total annual burden is 21,288 hours. This temporary rule 
will increase the total annual burden by 17,749 hours to a total of 
39,037 hours.
    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3507(d)), we submitted a copy of this

[[Page 37686]]

rule to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its review of the 
collection of information. Due to the circumstances surrounding this 
temporary rule, we asked for ``emergency processing'' of our request. 
We received OMB approval for the collection of information on September 
26, 2001. It is valid until September 30, 2002.
    We ask for public comment on the collection of information to help 
us determine how useful the information is; whether it can help us 
perform our functions better; whether it is readily available 
elsewhere; how accurate our estimate of the burden of collection is; 
how valid our methods for determining burden are; how we can improve 
the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information; and how we can 
minimize the burden of collection.
    If you submit comments on the collection of information, submit 
them both to OMB and to the Docket Management Facility where indicated 
under ADDRESSES, by the date under DATES.
    You need not respond to a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid control number from OMB. We received OMB 
approval for the collection of information on September 26, 2001. It is 
valid until September 30, 2002.

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, 
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local 
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial 
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under 
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for 
federalism.

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 or more in any 
one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, the 
effects of this rule are discussed elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental 
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property 
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) 
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, 
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule 
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may 
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, 
because it does 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.
    To help the Coast Guard establish regular and meaningful 
consultation and collaboration with Indian and Alaskan Native tribes, 
we published a notice in the Federal Register (66 FR 36361, July 11, 
2001) requesting comments on how to best carry out the Order. We invite 
your comments on how this rule might impact tribal governments, even if 
that impact may not constitute a ``tribal implication'' under the 
Order.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions 
Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant 
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to 
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use 
of energy. It has not been designated by the Administrator of the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy 
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects 
under Executive Order 13211.

Environment

    We have considered the environmental impact of this rule and 
concluded that under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(a), of Commandant 
Instruction M16475.lD, this rule is categorically excluded from further 
environmental documentation. This temporary final rule changes the 
requirements established in the notification of arrival regulations. 
They are procedural in nature and therefore are categorically excluded. 
A ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' is available in the docket 
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
