28562 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 20, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

II. Findings and Certifications 

Environmental Impact 

This ANPR is exclusively concerned 

with nondiscrimination standards. 

Accordingly, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(3), 

it is categorically excluded from 

environmental review under the 

National Environmental Policy Act (42 

U.S.C. 4321–4347). 

Regulatory Review—Executive Orders 

12866 and 13563 

Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory 

Planning and Review), a determination 

must be made whether a regulatory 

action is significant and therefore, 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

order. Executive Order 13563 

(Improving Regulations and Regulatory 

Review) directs executive agencies to 

analyze regulations that are ‘‘outmoded, 

ineffective, insufficient, or excessively 

burdensome, and to modify, streamline, 

expand, or repeal them in accordance 

with what has been learned. Executive 

Order 13563 also directs that, where 

relevant, feasible, and consistent with 

regulatory objectives, and to the extent 

permitted by law, agencies are to 

identify and consider regulatory 

approaches that reduce burdens and 

maintain flexibility and freedom of 

choice for the public. This ANPR was 

reviewed by OMB and determined to 

likely result in a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action,’’ as defined in section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

Dated: June 18, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Extension of the Comment Period 

On May 21, 2018, OSHA published a 

NPRM titled ‘‘Cranes and Derricks in 

Construction: Operator Qualification’’ 

(83 FR 23534). In the NPRM, OSHA 

proposed to amend 29 CFR part 1926, 

subpart CC, to revise sections that 

address crane operator training, 

certification/licensing, and competency. 

The purpose of these amendments are 

to: require comprehensive training of 

operators; remove certification by 

capacity from certification 

requirements; clarify and permanently 

extend the employer duty to evaluate 

potential operators for their ability to 

safely operate equipment covered by 

subpart CC; and require documentation 

of that evaluation. 

The public comment period for this 

NPRM was to conclude on June 20, 

2018, 30 days after publication of the 

NPRM. However, OSHA received 

requests from stakeholders for an 

extension of the public comment period 

(OSHA–2007–0066–0683 and –0693). 

These requests state that, given the 

complexity and significance of this 

NPRM, more time for submitting 

comments was necessary to gather 

information from members of the 

organizations and develop meaningful 

comments. 

OSHA agrees to an extension and 

believes that a 15 day extension of the 

public comment period is a sufficient 

amount of time to address these 

concerns in light of the short period of 

time remaining before the deadline for 

crane operator certification. Therefore, 

the public comment period will now 

conclude July 5, 2018. Comments can be 

submitted by following the procedures 

listed under ADDRESSES section of this 

notice.

BILLING CODE 4510–26–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

31 CFR Part 34 

RIN 1505–AC55 

Regulations for the Gulf Coast 

Restoration Trust Fund 

AGENCY: Office of the Fiscal Assistant 

Secretary, Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury (Treasury) proposes to amend 

its rules to revise the method by which 

the statutory three percent limitation on 

administrative costs (referred to 

throughout this notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) as the ‘‘three 

percent administrative cost cap’’) is 

applied under the Direct Component, 

Comprehensive Plan Component, and 

Spill Impact Component under the 

Resources and Ecosystem Sustainability, 

Tourist Opportunities, and Revived 

Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act 

of 2012 (RESTORE Act or Act). This 

proposed amendment will help ensure 

that the Gulf Coast states and localities 

have the necessary funding to efficiently 

and effectively oversee and manage 

projects and programs for ecological and 

economic restoration of the Gulf Coast 

Region while ensuring compliance with 

the statutory three percent 

administrative cost cap. It does not 

change the definition of ‘‘administrative 

costs’’ or the indirect cost 

reimbursement calculation on an 

individual federal grant using the 

negotiated indirect cost rate agreement 

(NICRA) or de minimis rate. 

DATES: Written comments on this NPRM 

must be received on or before: July 20, 

2018. 

ADDRESSES: Treasury invites comments 

on the topic addressed in this NPRM. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods: 

Electronic Submission of Comments: 

Interested persons may submit 

comments electronically through the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://

www.regulations.gov. Electronic 

submission of comments allows the 

commenter maximum time to prepare 

and submit a comment, ensures timely 

receipt, and enables Treasury to make 

them available to the public. Comments 

submitted electronically through the 

http://www.regulations.gov website can 

be viewed by other commenters and 

interested members of the public. 

Mail: Send to Department of the 

Treasury, Attention: Laurie McGilvray, 

Office of Gulf Coast Restoration, Office 

of the Fiscal Assistant Secretary, Room 

2112; 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW,

comments to http://www.regulations.gov 

without change, including any business 

or personal information provided, such 

as names, addresses, email addresses, or 

telephone numbers. All comments 

received, including attachments and 

other supporting materials, will be part 

of the public record and subject to 

public disclosure. You should submit 

only information that you wish to make 

publicly available. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

Office of Gulf Coast Restoration at 

restoreact@treasury.gov, or Laurie 

McGilvray at 202–622–7340. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The RESTORE Act (33 U.S.C. 1321(t) 

and note) makes funds available for the 

ecological and economic restoration of 

the Gulf Coast Region, and certain 

programs with respect to the Gulf of 

Mexico, through a trust fund in the 

Treasury of the United States known as 

the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund 

(trust fund). The trust fund holds 80 

percent of the administrative and civil 

penalties paid under the Federal Water 

Pollution Control Act after July 6, 2012 

in connection with the Deepwater 

Horizon Oil Spill. 

Treasury administers two of the five 

components established by the Act, the 

Direct Component and Centers of 

Excellence Research Grants Program. 

The Act also established an 

independent Federal entity, the Gulf 

Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council 

(Council), to administer two 

components of the Act, the 

Comprehensive Plan Component and 

the Spill Impact Component. The 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) administers 

one component, the NOAA RESTORE 

Act Science Program. This NPRM only 

affects grants under the Direct 

Component, Comprehensive Plan 

Component, and Spill Impact 

Component of the Act, which are 

collectively referred to throughout the 

NPRM as the three ‘‘components.’’ 

On December 14, 2015, Treasury 

promulgated a final rule on the 

RESTORE Act, 80 FR 77239, which 

became effective on February 12, 2016.
