Background and Purpose 

The America’s Cup Race Management 

has applied for a Marine Event Permit 

to hold the 34th America’s Cup races on 

the waters of San Francisco Bay in 

California. The Coast Guard has not 

approved the Marine Event Permit and 

is still evaluating the application, 

including the potential environmental 

impact of the requested permit. If the 

permit is approved, however, we 

anticipate that a special local regulation 

may be necessary to ensure public safety 

during the races. To provide adequate 

time for public input, we proposed a 

special local regulation and safety zone 

on January 30, 2012 (77 FR 4501). 

In the January 2012 notice of 

proposed rulemaking, the Coast Guard 

proposed regulations for the 2012 and 

2013 races. These include proposed 

regulated areas surrounding the primary 

and contingent race areas; a designated 

area for recreational swimmers, rowers, 

and kayakers; a transit zone for using 

during the 2013 races; restrictions on 

vessel traffic and the use of Anchorage 

No. 7; and a safety zone around racing 

vessels. These proposed rules are 

temporary and would be enforced only 

on race days. The public comment 

period on these proposed rules remains 

open through April 30, 2012. If the 

Marine Event Permit is not approved, 

we will withdraw the proposed rules. 

Draft Environmental Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01, and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

we have prepared a draft environmental 

assessment (EA) of the proposed special 

local regulation and safety zone 

described above. The draft EA, which is 

available in the docket, identifies and 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 74 / Tuesday, April 17, 2012 / Proposed Rules 22707 

examines the reasonable alternatives 

and assesses their potential 

environmental impact. It also identifies 

the preferred alternative and how it 

affects the proposed rulemaking. 

We request your comments on 

environmental concerns that you may 

have related to the draft EA. This 

includes suggesting analyses and 

methodologies for use in the EA or 

possible sources of data or information 

not included in the draft EA. Your 

comments will be considered in 

preparing the final EA. 

This notice is issued under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a), and 33 CFR 

1.05–1, 100.35, and 165.5. 

Dated: March 29, 2012.

Electronic Reporting Under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to require 

electronic reporting for information that 

must be submitted under Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 

4 (pursuant to test rules and enforceable 

consent agreements (ECAs)), TSCA 

section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment 

Information Rule (PAIR), and TSCA 

section 8(d) Health and Safety Data 

Reporting rules. Additionally, EPA is 

proposing amendments to certain TSCA 

section 5 reporting regulations that 

would extend electronic reporting 

requirements to Notices of 

Commencement of Manufacture or 

Import (NOCs) and support documents 

(e.g., correspondence, amendment, and 

test data) relating to TSCA section 5 

notices submitted to EPA before April 6, 

2010. This proposed rule would require 

the use of EPA’s Central Data Exchange 

(CDX) and the Chemical Information 

Submission System (CISS) web-based 

reporting tool for the submission of 

forms, reports, and other documents 

except for TSCA section 5 submissions, 

which would use existing e-PMN 

software. This action is intended to 

streamline the reporting process and 

reduce the administrative costs 

associated with information submission 

and recordkeeping. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before June 18, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID)

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through regulations.gov or 

email. The regulations.gov Web site is

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment.

to EPA without going through 

regulations.gov, your email address will 

be automatically captured and included 

as part of the comment that is placed in 

the docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the docket index available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Although

will be publicly available only in hard 

copy. Publicly available docket 

materials are available electronically at
