AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing 

to establish a safety zone for the 

navigable waters of the Sector Virginia 

Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone, to be 

enforced in the event of hurricanes, 

tropical storms, and other storms with 

high winds. This action is necessary to 

ensure the safety of the waters of the 

Sector Virginia COTP Zone. This 

proposed rulemaking would establish 

actions to be completed by industry and 

vessels within the COTP Zone before 

hurricanes, tropical storms, and other 

storms with high winds threatening the 

State of Virginia make landfall, and 

afterwards as well. We invite your 

comments on this proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before October 16, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2023–0366 using the Federal DecisionMaking 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.

MTS Marine Transportation System 

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

Virginia has the potential to be 

affected by hurricanes and tropical 

storms on a yearly basis, especially 

between the months of June and 

November. Additionally, severe storms 

generating high winds and rough seas 

are also common in the winter months. 

The Sector Virginia COTP proposes 

establishing a safety zone to protect 

mariners, port infrastructure, and the 

environment during and after these 

severe weather events. The Coast Guard 

is proposing this rulemaking under 

authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard proposes to establish 

a safety zone on the navigable waters of 

the Sector Virginia COTP Zone during 

hurricanes, tropical storms, and other 

storms with high winds. This safety 

zone would establish actions to be 

completed by local industry and vessels 

in the COTP zone prior to landfall of 

hurricanes, tropical storms, and other 

storms with high winds threatening 

Virginia and in the aftermath of landfall. 

Port Conditions (WHISKEY, X–RAY, 

YANKEE, ZULU, and RECOVERY) are 

standardized terms for states of 

operation instituted by the COTP which 

are clearly communicated to port 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 177 / Thursday, September 14, 2023 / Proposed Rules 63043 

facilities, vessels, and members of the 

Marine Transportation System (MTS). 

Actions to be taken by vessels is 

provided in the language of the 

proposed rule. In addition, ports and 

waterfront facilities are encouraged to 

take action when specific Port 

Conditions are declared. Under Port 

Condition WHISKEY, ports and 

waterfront facilities should remove all 

debris and secure potential flying 

hazards. Upon a declaration that Port 

Condition X–RAY is in effect, port 

facilities should ensure that potential 

flying debris and hazardous materials 

are removed, and that loose cargo and 

cargo equipment is secured. Upon a 

declaration of Port Condition YANKEE, 

terminal operators should terminate all 

cargo operations not associated with 

storm preparations. All facilities should 

continue to operate in accordance with 

approved Facility Security Plans (as 

defined at 33 CFR 101.105, and as 

further described in 33 CFR 105.400 to 

105.415), and to comply with all 

applicable requirements of the Maritime 

Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 

U.S.C. chapter 701). 

Under the proposed rule, the COTP 

would retain flexibility in controlling 

and reconstituting vessel traffic during 

periods of heavy weather, and it would 

allow for the expedited resumption of 

the MTS following such events. The 

proposed safety zone would consist of 

all waters of the territorial seas within 

the Sector Virginia COTP Zone, as 

defined in 33 CFR 3.25–10. Portions of 

the safety zone might be activated at 

different times, as conditions dictated. 

Notice of Port Conditions and their 

requirements would be given via Marine 

Safety Information Bulletins and 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners. The 

regulatory text we are 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 

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 necessity to protect life, 

port infrastructure, and the environment 

during hurricanes, tropical storms, and 

other storms with high winds. The 

scope of the regulation is narrow and 

will only apply when a hurricane, 

tropical storm, or other storm with high 

winds impacts the navigable waters of 

the Virginia COTP Zone. These events 

are infrequent and of short duration. 

Regulatory restrictions will be lifted as 

soon as practicable. 

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. 

While some owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit the safety 

zone may be small entities, for the 

reasons stated in section IV.A above, 

this proposed rule would not have a 

significant economic impact on any 

vessel owner or operator. 

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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
63044 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 177 / Thursday, September 14, 2023 / Proposed Rules 

the human environment. This proposed 

rule involves a safety zone that would 

prohibit entry in certain waters of the 

Sector Virginia COTP Zone for the 

duration needed to ensure safe transit of 

vessels and industry before and after a 

hurricane, tropical storm, or other storm 

with high winds. Normally such actions 

are categorically excluded from further 

review under paragraph L60(a) of 

Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction 

Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. A 

preliminary Record of Environmental 

Consideration supporting this 

determination is available in the docket. 

For instructions on locating the docket, 

see the ADDRESSES section of this 

preamble. We seek any comments or 

information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this proposed rule. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places, or vessels. 

V. Public Participation and Request for

IV. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On September 5, 2023, the Postal 

Service filed a petition pursuant to 39 

CFR 3050.11 requesting that the 

Commission initiate a rulemaking 

proceeding to consider changes to 

analytical principles relating to periodic 

reports.1 The Petition identifies the 

proposed analytical changes filed in this 

docket as Proposal Five. 

II. Proposal Five 

Background. Proposal Five relates to 

modifications to the Parcel Select (PS)/ 

Parcel Return Service (PRS) mail 

processing and transportation cost 

models. Petition, Proposal Five at 1. The 

cost models were last presented in 

Docket No. ACR2022, Library 

References USPS–FY22–NP15 and 

USPS–FY22–NP16, respectively. Id. The 

proposed modifications to the mail 

processing and transportation cost 

models underlie recent operational and 

price structure changes. Id. 

Previously, USPS Retail Ground (RG), 

First-Class Package Service (FCPS), and 

Parcel Select were listed as separate 

Competitive products within the Mail 

Classification Schedule (MCS) with 

Parcel Select Ground (PSG) as a price 

category within the PS product. Id. In 

order to improve service standards for 

RG and PSG, the Postal Service 

implemented operational changes to 

process and transport RG and PSG mail 

along with FCPS mail in the contiguous 

United States beginning FY 2022, 

Quarter 4.2

In addition, classification changes 

were made to the products on the MCS 

by removing RG from the Competitive 

product list, removing PSG as a price 

category from PS, and expanding the 

FCPS price structure to include 

mailpieces weighing up to 70 pounds 

thus subsuming the RG and PSG price 

categories under FCPS.3

In Docket Nos. CP2023–113 and 

CP2023–114, the Commission approved 

additional proposed classification 

changes to rename FCPS to USPS 

Ground Advantage and several changes 

to the PS price structure including: (1) 

eliminating the distinction of 

machinable and nonmachinable prices 

for Parcel Select Heavy Weight (PSHW), 

(2) establishing a Destination Hub 

(DHUB) price category for PSHW, (3) 

establishing a DHUB price category for 

Parcel Select Lightweight (PSLW), and
