[DHS Docket No. OGC-RP-04-001]
Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHS.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulatory agenda is a semiannual summary of all current
and projected rulemakings, existing regulations, and completed actions
of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components. This
agenda provides the public with information about DHS's regulatory
activity. DHS expects that this information will enable the public to
be more aware of, and effectively participate in, the Department's
regulatory activity. DHS invites the public to submit comments on any
aspect of this agenda.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
General
Please direct general comments and inquiries on the agenda to the
Regulatory Affairs Law Division, U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
Office of the General Counsel, 245 Murray Lane, Mail Stop 0485,
Washington, DC 20528-0485.
Specific
Please direct specific comments and inquiries on individual
regulatory actions identified in this agenda to the individual listed
in the summary of the regulation as the point of contact for that
regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DHS provides this notice pursuant to the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354, Sep.
19, 1980) and Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review''
(Sep. 30, 1993) as incorporated in Executive Order 13563 ``Improving
Regulation & Regulatory Review'' (Jan. 18, 2011), which require the
Department to publish a semiannual agenda of regulations. The
regulatory agenda is a summary of all current and projected
rulemakings, as well as actions completed since the publication of the
last regulatory agenda for the Department. DHS's last semiannual
regulatory agenda was published on July 23, 2013, at 78 FR 44266.
Beginning in fall 2007, the Internet became the basic means for
disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda is
available online at www.reginfo.gov.
As part of the Unified Agenda, Federal agencies are also required
to prepare a Regulatory Plan of the most important significant
regulatory actions that the agency reasonably expects to issue in
proposed or final form in that fiscal year. As in past years, for fall
editions of the Unified Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan and agency
regulatory flexibility agendas, in accordance with the publication
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, are printed in the
Federal Register.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) requires Federal
agencies to publish their regulatory flexibility agenda in the Federal
Register. A regulatory flexibility agenda shall contain, among other
things, ``a brief description of the subject area of any rule which is
likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.'' DHS's printed agenda entries include regulatory
actions that are in the Department's regulatory flexibility agenda.
Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information
required by the agenda provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified
Agenda published on the Internet.
The semiannual agenda of the Department conforms to the Unified
Agenda format developed by the Regulatory Information Service Center.
Dated: August 29, 2013.

Legal Authority: 46 U.S.C. 12301
Abstract: Title 46 U.S.C. 12301, as amended by the Abandoned Barge
Act of 1992, requires that all undocumented barges of more than 100
gross tons operating on the navigable waters of the United States be
numbered. This rulemaking would establish a numbering system for these
barges. The numbering of undocumented barges allows the Coast Guard to
identify the owners of abandoned barges. This rulemaking supports the
Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of protecting natural
resources.

Abstract: The Coast Guard is the lead Federal agency for workplace
safety and health on facilities and vessels engaged in the exploration
for, or development, or production of, minerals on the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS), other than for matters generally related to
drilling and production that are regulated by the Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE). This project
would revise the regulations on OCS activities by: (1) Adding new
requirements, for OCS units for lifesaving, fire protection, training,
hazardous materials used as stores, and accommodation spaces; (2)
adding standards for electrical and machinery installations in
hazardous locations; (3) providing regulations for dynamic positioning
systems; (4) providing for USCG acceptance and approval of specified
classification society plan reviews, inspections, audits, and surveys;
and (5) requiring foreign vessels engaged in OCS activities to comply
with rules similar to those imposed on U.S. vessels similarly engaged.
This project would affect the owners and operators of facilities and
vessels engaged in offshore activities.

33 CFR 6.04-11; 33 CFR 6.14; 33 CFR 6.16; 33 CFR 6.19; DHS Delegation
No 0170.1
Abstract: The Coast Guard proposes certain additions, changes, and
amendments to 33 CFR, subchapter H. Subchapter H is comprised of parts
101 through 106. Subchapter H implements the major provisions of the
Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA). This rulemaking is
the first major revision to subchapter H. The proposed changes would
further the goals of domestic compliance and international cooperation
by incorporating requirements from legislation implemented since the
original publication of these regulations, such as the Security and
Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006, and including
international standards such as STCW security training. This rulemaking
has international interest because of the close relationship between
subchapter H and the International Ship and Port Security Code (ISPS).

325. Lifesaving Devices Uninspected Vessels Commercial Barges and
Sailing Vessels (Section 610 Review)
Legal Authority: 46 U.S.C. 2103; 46 U.S.C. 4102; Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1(92)(a), (92)(b)
Abstract: The Coast Guard proposed aligning its regulations with
the 2010 Coast Guard Authorization Act. Before 2010, uninspected
commercial barges and uninspected commercial sailing vessels fell
outside the scope of a statute requiring the regulation of lifesaving
devices on uninspected vessels. Lifesaving devices were required on
these vessels only if they carried passengers for hire. The 2010 Act
brought these vessels within the scope of the statutory requirement to
carry lifesaving devices even if they carry no passengers. The Coast
Guard proposed requiring the use of wearable personal flotation devices
for individuals on board uninspected commercial barges and sailing
vessels, and amending several regulatory tables to reflect that
requirement. This rulemaking promotes the Coast Guard's maritime safety
mission.

8904; DHS Delegation No 0170.1
Abstract: This rulemaking would implement a program of inspection
for certification of towing vessels, which were previously uninspected.
It would prescribe standards for safety management systems and third-
party auditors and surveyors, along with standards for construction,
operation, vessel systems, safety equipment, and recordkeeping.

Abstract: The Coast Guard is implementing those requirements of
2010 and 2012 legislation that pertain to uninspected commercial
fishing industry vessels and that took effect upon enactment of the
legislation but that, to be implemented, require amendments to Coast
Guard regulations affecting those vessels. The applicability of the
regulations is being changed, and new requirements are being added to
safety training, equipment, vessel examinations, vessel safety
standards, the documentation of maintenance, and the termination of
unsafe operations. This rulemaking promotes the Coast Guard maritime
safety mission.

Requirements
Legal Authority: 3 U.S.C. 301 to 303; 33 U.S.C. 1223; 33 U.S.C.
1231; 33 U.S.C. 3121; 33 U.S.C. 1903; 33 U.S.C. 1908; 46 U.S.C. 6101
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish regulations requiring
owners or operators of nontank vessels to prepare and submit oil spill
response plans. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act defines nontank
vessels as self-propelled vessels of 400 gross tons or greater that
operate on the navigable waters of the United States, carry oil of any
kind as fuel for main propulsion, and are not tank vessels. The NPRM
proposed to specify the content of a response plan, and among other
issues, address the requirement to plan for responding to a worst case
discharge and a substantial threat of such a discharge. Additionally,
the NPRM proposed to update International Shipboard Oil Pollution
Emergency Plan (SOPEP) requirements that apply to certain nontank
vessels and tank vessels. Finally, the NPRM proposed to require vessel
owners and operators to submit their vessel response plan control
number as part of the notice of arrival information. This project
supports the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime
stewardship.

Abstract: The Coast Guard proposes to revise the existing safety
regulations for facility and vessel vapor control systems (VCSs). The
proposed changes would make VCS requirements more compatible with new
Federal and State environmental requirements, regulate industry
advancements in VCS technology, and codify the standards in the design
and operation of a VCS at a tank barge cleaning facility. These changes
would increase the safety of operations by regulating the design,
installation, and use of VCSs, but would not require the installation
or use of the systems.

335. Modification of the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF)
(Market Share)
Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 44901; 49 U.S.C. 44940
Abstract: On February 20, 2002 (67 FR 7926), the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) published an interim final rule (IFR)
that established the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF), which
is imposed on air carriers and foreign air carriers in air
transportation, foreign air transportation, and intrastate air
transportation to help defray TSA's costs of providing U.S. civil
aviation security services. TSA is developing a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) that will propose to amend current ASIF requirements,
see 49 CFR part 1511, by modifying the method that TSA uses to assess
the ASIF, reapportioning the amount to be paid per airline. The NPRM
will also respond to any comments submitted regarding the IFR.
On November 5, 2003, the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) published a notice requesting comment on possible changes in
order to allow for open industry and public input. TSA sought comments
on issues regarding how to impose the ASIF, and whether, when, and how
often the ASIF should be adjusted.

Abstract: On October 30, 2008 (73 FR 64790), the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) issued a Notice of
[[Page 1175]]
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), proposing to amend current aviation
transportation security regulations to enhance the security of general
aviation by expanding the scope of current requirements, and by adding
new requirements for certain large aircraft operators and airports
serving those aircraft. TSA also proposed that all aircraft operations,
including corporate and private charter operations, with aircraft
having a maximum certificated takeoff weight (MTOW) above 12,500 pounds
(large aircraft) be required to adopt a large aircraft security
program. TSA also proposed to require certain airports that serve large
aircraft to adopt security programs.
After considering comments received on the NPRM and sponsoring
public meetings with stakeholders, TSA decided to revise the original
proposal to tailor security requirements to the general aviation
industry. TSA is preparing a supplemental NPRM (SNPRM), which will
include a comment period for public comments. TSA is considering the
following proposed provisions in the SNPRM: (1) Security measures for
foreign aircraft operators commensurate with measures for U.S.
operators, (2) the type of aircraft subject to TSA regulation, (3)
compliance oversight, (4) watch list matching of passengers, (5)
prohibited items, (6) scope of the background check requirements and
the procedures used to implement the requirement, and (7) other issues.
