(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 27, Flight controls. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by the insufficient 

accuracy of a certain Angle of Attack (AoA) 

probe at low airspeeds which could lead to 

a delayed activation of the stick pusher in 

flaps-extended configuration. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address this unsafe 

condition, which if not addressed, could, in 

combination with flight at a high angle of 

attack, result in non-activation of the stick 

pusher and ultimately to a loss of control of 

the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) and (i) 

of this AD: Comply with all required actions 

and compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2024–0140, dated 

July 12, 2024 (EASA AD 2024–0140). 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2024–0140 

(1) Where EASA AD 2024–0140 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where EASA AD 2024–0140 defines a 

serviceable part as ‘‘AoA probe, eligible for 

installation, in accordance with ATR 

instructions, which is not an affected part,’’ 

for this AD replace that text with ‘‘AoA 

probe, eligible for installation, which is not 

an affected part.’’ 

(3) This AD does not adopt the ‘‘Remarks’’ 

section of EASA AD 2024–0140. 

(i) No Reporting Requirement 

Although the material referenced in EASA 

AD 2024–0140 requires the submittal of 

certain information to the manufacturer, this 

AD does not include that requirement. 

(j) Additional AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Validation Branch, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

Coast Guard 

33 CFR Part 165 

[Docket Number USCG–2024–1001] 

RIN 1625–AA00 

Safety Zone; Bay St. Louis, MS 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing 

to establish an annually recurring safety 

zone for certain waters of St. Louis Bay. 

This action is necessary to provide for 

the safety of life on these navigable 

waters near Bay St. Louis, MS during 

the Swim Across the Bay swim event. 

This proposed rulemaking would 

prohibit persons and vessels from being 

in the safety zone unless authorized by 

the Captain of the Port Mobile or a 

designated representative. We invite 

your comments on this proposed 

rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before December 16, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2024–1001 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. This notice of proposed 

rulemaking with its plain-language, 100- 

word-or-less proposed rule summary 

will be available in this same docket. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions about this proposed 

rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant 

Lawrence J. Schad, Waterways 

Management Division, Sector Mobile,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On July 11, 2024, an organization 

notified the Coast Guard that it will be 

conducting Swim Across the Bay, an 

annual recurring swim event that will 

occur on the 3rd or 4th Saturday or 

Sunday of September in St. Louis Bay. 

The Captain of the Port Sector Mobile 

(COTP) has determined that potential 

hazards associated with the swim event 

would be a safety concern for nonparticipants within the designated area, 

extending the entire width of the 

channel, approximately 1 mile south of 

the Hwy. 90 Bridge in Bay St. Louis, 

MS. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

ensure the safety of participants, 

authorized vessels, and the navigable 

waters within the course of the swim 

before, during and after the scheduled 

marine event. The Coast Guard is 

proposing this rulemaking under 

authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP is proposing to establish a 

permanent safety zone to protect 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2024 / Proposed Rules 89941 

participants during the annual swim. 

The safety zone would cover certain 

navigable waters at the opening of St. 

Louis Bay, extending the entire width of 

the channel, approximately 1 mile south 

of the Hwy. 90 Bridge in Bay St. Louis, 

MS. The duration of the safety zone is 

intended to ensure the safety of 

participants in these navigable waters 

before, during and after the swim. The 

event will recur on an annual basis on 

the 3rd or 4th Saturday or Sunday of 

September. The exact dates and times of 

enforcement would be made public via 

a notice of enforcement prior to the 

event date. No vessel or person would 

be permitted to enter the safety zone 

unless specifically authorized by the 

COTP or a designated representative. 

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 

section 3(f) of 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 size, location, and 

duration, of the safety zone. This safety 

zone would restrict navigation for one 

day near the opening of St. Louis Bay, 

approximately 1 mile south of the Hwy. 

90 Bridge in Bay St. Louis, MS, 

extending the entire width of the 

channel. The Coast Guard would issue 

a Local Notice to Mariners (LNM) about 

the zone, and the rule would allow 

vessels to seek permission to enter the 

zone. 

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 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 rule 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 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 

determined that this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This proposed rule 

involves the establishment of a safety 

zone lasting one day that would prohibit 

entry in, out, or through the navigable 

waters near the opening of St. Louis 

Bay, extending the entire width of the 

channel approximately 1 mile south of 

the Hwy. 90 Bridge in Bay St. Louis, MS 

annually on the 3rd or 4th Saturday or 

Sunday of September. 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 where indicated 

under 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
