Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 2, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 11585 

Also, this rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does 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. 

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 rule 

will not result in such an expenditure, 

we do discuss the effects of this 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 rule involves a 

temporary safety zone in the navigable 

waters around the loading, staging, 

transit, and display of fireworks near 

Clipper Yacht Harbor and 500 yards off 

Yellow Bluff in San Francisco Bay. It is 

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 

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. 

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.

33 CFR Part 402 

RIN 2135–AA52 

Tariff of Tolls 

AGENCY: Great Lakes St. Lawrence 

Seaway Development Corporation, 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Great Lakes St. Lawrence 

Seaway Development Corporation (GLS) 

and the St. Lawrence Seaway 

Management Corporation (SLSMC) of 

Canada, under international agreement, 

jointly publish and presently administer 

the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls 

in their respective jurisdictions. The 

Tariff sets forth the level of tolls 

assessed on all commodities and vessels 

transiting the facilities operated by the 

GLS and the SLSMC. The GLS is 

revising its regulations to reflect the fees 

and charges levied by the SLSMC in 

Canada starting in the 2022 navigation 

season, which are effective only in 

Canada. An amendment to increase the 

minimum charge per lock for those 

vessels that are not pleasure craft or 

subject in Canada to tolls under items 1 

and 2 of the Tariff for full or partial 

transit of the Seaway will apply in the 

U.S. (See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION). 

The Tariff of Tolls will be effective on 

March 21, 2022 in Canada. 

DATES: This rule is effective on March 2, 

2022.

Carrie Mann Lavigne, Chief Counsel, 

Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway 

Development Corporation, 180 Andrews 

Street, Massena, New York 13662; 315/ 

764–3200. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Great 

Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway 

Development Corporation (GLS) and the 

St. Lawrence Seaway Management 

Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under 

international agreement, jointly publish 

and presently administer the St. 

Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls 

(Schedule of Fees and Charges in 

Canada) in their respective jurisdictions. 

The Tariff sets forth the level of tolls 

assessed on all commodities and vessels 

transiting the facilities operated by the 

GLS and the SLSMC. The GLS is 

revising 33 CFR 402.12, ‘‘Schedule of 

tolls’’, to reflect the fees and charges 

levied by the SLSMC in Canada 

beginning in the 2022 navigation 

season. With one exception, the changes 

affect the tolls for commercial vessels 

and are applicable only in Canada. The 

collection of tolls by the GLS on 

commercial vessels transiting the U.S. 

locks is waived by law (33 U.S.C. 

988a(a)). 

The GLS is amending 33 CFR 402.12, 

‘‘Schedule of tolls’’, to increase the 

minimum charge per vessel per lock for 

full or partial transit of the Seaway from 

$29.72 to $30.31. This charge is for 

vessels that are not pleasure craft or 

subject in Canada to the tolls under 

items 1 and 2 of the Tariff. This increase 

is due to higher operating costs at the 

locks. 

Regulatory Notices: Privacy Act: 

Anyone is able to search the electronic 

form of all comments received into any 

of our dockets by the name of the 

individual submitting the comment (or 

signing the comment, if submitted on 

behalf of an association, business, labor 

union, etc.). You may review DOT’s 

complete Privacy Act Statement in the 

Federal Register published on April 11, 

2000 (65 FR 19477–78) or you may visit

Regulatory Evaluation 

This regulation involves a foreign 

affairs function of the United States and 

therefore, Executive Order 12866 does 

not apply and evaluation under the 

Department of Transportation’s 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures is 

not required. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Determination 

I certify this regulation will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls 

primarily relate to commercial users of 

the Seaway, the vast majority of whom 

are foreign vessel operators. Therefore, 

any resulting costs will be borne mostly 

by foreign vessels. 

Environmental Impact 

This regulation does not require an 

environmental impact statement under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(49 U.S.C. 4321, et reg.) because it is not 

a major federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. 

Federalism 

The Corporation has analyzed this 

rule under the principles and criteria in 

Executive Order 13132, dated August 4, 

1999, and has determined that this rule 

does not have sufficient federalism 

implications to warrant a Federalism 

Assessment. 

Unfunded Mandates 

The Corporation has analyzed this 

rule under Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 

104–4, 109 Stat. 48) and determined that 

it does not impose unfunded mandates 

on State, local, and tribal governments 

and the private sector requiring a 

written statement of economic and 

regulatory alternatives. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This regulation has been analyzed 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 and does not contain new or 

modified information collection 

requirements subject to the Office of 

Management and Budget review. 

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 402 

Vessels, Waterways. 

Accordingly, the Great Lakes St. 

Lawrence Seaway Development 

Corporation amends 33 CFR part 402 as

Extended Mail Forwarding Service 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is 

amending Mailing Standards of the 

United States Postal Service, Domestic 

Mail Manual (DMM®) section 507.2.0 to 

add a new product offering that will 

allow customers to extend mail 

forwarding service. 

DATES: Effective Date: July 10, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Iwon Kaiyuan at (202) 268–4899 or 

Garry Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DMM 

currently provides that customers who 

submit a permanent change-of-address 

(COA) request generally receive mail 

forwarding service for 12 months at no 

cost. After the 12-month forwarding 

period, the mail is returned to the 

sender or disposed of by the USPS®. 

The Postal Service initiated a Market 

Test, Extended Mail Forwarding service, 

(Docket No. MT2020–2, PRC Order No. 

5591) on July 20, 2020, to provide 

customers with an option to extend 

their forwarding service for a fee. 

Extended Mail Forwarding service 

provides customers the option to extend 

forwarding service beyond the 12-month 

period in six-month increments or by an 

additional 6, 12, or 18 months, or any 

combination, not to exceed 18 months. 

Customers can extend a permanent COA 

order by purchasing Extended Mail 

Forwarding service at a Post Office or 

online through the COA Application 

(MoversGuide) on USPS.com. 

On February 14, 2022, the Postal 

Service filed a request with the Postal 

Regulatory Commission to make the 

Extended Mail Forwarding service 

market test a permanent offering. 

Documents pertinent to the request are 

available in Docket No. MC–2022–40. 

The Postal Service believes this new 

offering will provide customers with a 

service that will enhance their mailing 

experience. 

The Postal Service adopts the 

following changes to Mailing Standards 

of the United States Postal Service, 

Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), 

incorporated by reference in the Code of 

Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1.
