Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 63 / Friday, April 1, 2022 / Proposed Rules 19039 

This proposed rule was determined to 

be a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

because it is likely to have an annual 

effect on the economy of $100 million 

or more. This proposed rule would 

increase available loss mitigation 

options for borrowers and enable more 

borrowers to avoid foreclosure and 

remain in their homes. HUD also 

anticipates that this would have a 

positive effect on the FHA MMI Fund by 

lowering defaults. The docket file is 

available for public inspection on http:// 

www.regulations.gov and in the 

Regulations Division, Office of General 

Counsel, Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW, 

Room 10276, Washington, DC 20410– 

0500. Due to security measures at the 

HUD Headquarters building, please 

schedule an appointment to review the 

docket file by calling the Regulations 

Division at 202–402–3055 (this is not a 

toll-free number). Individuals with 

speech or hearing impairments may 

access this number via TTY by calling 

the Relay Service at 800–877–8339 (this 

is a toll-free number). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) generally requires 

an agency to conduct a regulatory 

flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 

notice and comment rulemaking 

requirements, unless the agency certifies 

that the rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. The change of 

this proposed rule would be limited to 

requiring mortgagees to consider and, 

where appropriate, utilize an extended 

term limit. Mortgagees are already 

required to consider mortgage 

modification so this change should not 

have an economic impact on 

mortgagees. If there is an economic 

effect on mortgagees, it would fall 

equally on all mortgagees. Further, HUD 

anticipates that allowing an additional 

loss mitigation tool would have a net 

positive economic impact on mortgagees 

by decreasing the number of defaults 

and therefore the costs associated with 

those defaults. 

Accordingly, the undersigned certifies 

that the proposed rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Notwithstanding HUD’s determination 

that this rule will not have a significant 

effect on a substantial number of small 

entities, HUD specifically invites 

comments regarding any less 

burdensome alternatives to this rule that 

will meet HUD’s objectives as described 

in the preamble to this rule. 

Environmental Impact 

A Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) with respect to the 

environment was made at the proposed 

rule stage, in accordance with HUD 

regulations at 24 CFR part 50, which 

implement section 102(2)(C) of the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)). The 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

remains applicable to this final rule and 

is available for public inspection 

between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

weekdays in the Regulations Division, 

Office of General Counsel, Department 

of Housing and Urban Development, 

451 Seventh Street SW, Room 10276, 

Washington, DC 20410. Due to security 

measures at the HUD Headquarters 

building, please schedule an 

appointment to review the FONSI by 

calling the Regulations Division at (202) 

708–3055 (this is not a toll-free 

number). Individuals with speech or 

hearing impairments may access this 

number via TTY by calling the Federal 

Relay Service at (800) 877–8339. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

Executive Order 13132 (entitled 

‘‘Federalism’’) prohibits an agency from 

publishing any rule that has federalism 

implications if the rule either: (i) 

Imposes substantial direct compliance 

costs on state and local governments 

and is not required by statute, or (ii) 

preempts state law, unless the agency 

meets the consultation and funding 

requirements of section 6 of the 

Executive Order. This proposed rule 

does not have federalism implications 

and does not impose substantial direct 

compliance costs on state and local 

governments or preempt state law 

within the meaning of the Executive 

Order. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531– 

1538) (UMRA) establishes requirements 

for federal agencies to assess the effects 

of their regulatory actions on state, 

local, and tribal governments, and on 

the private sector. This proposed rule 

would not impose any federal mandates 

on any state, local, or tribal 

governments, or on the private sector, 

within the meaning of the UMRA.

Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

create safety zones around each tall ship 

visiting the Great Lakes during the Tall 

Ships Challenge 2022 race series. These 

safety zones will provide for the 

regulation of vessel traffic in the vicinity 

of each tall ship in the navigable waters 

of the United States. The Coast Guard is 

taking this action to safeguard 

participants and spectators from the 

hazards associated with the limited 

maneuverability of these tall ships and 

to ensure public safety during tall ships 

events. We invite your comments on 

this proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or May 2, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG–

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

During the Tall Ships Challenge Great 

Lakes 2022, tall ships will be 

participating in maritime parades, 

training cruises, races, and mooring in 

the harbors of Erie, PA, Cleveland, OH, 

and Two Harbors, MN. This is a triannual event that teaches character 

building and leadership through sail 

training. The Tall Ships event seeks to 

educate the public about both the 

historical aspects of sailing ships as well 

as their current use as training vessels 

for students. Tall ships are large, 

traditionally-rigged sailing vessels. The 

event will consist of festivals at each 

port of call, sail training cruises, tall 

ship parades, and races between the 

ports. More information regarding the 

Tall Ships Challenge 2022 and the 

participating vessels can be found at 

https://www.tallshipschallenge.com/. 

At 12:01 a.m. June 24, 2022, a safety 

zone will be established around each 

tall ship participating in this event. The 

safety zone around each ship will 

remain in effect as the tall ships travel 

throughout the Great Lakes. The safety 

zones will terminate at 12:01 a.m. on 

August 29, 2022. 

These safety zones are necessary to 

protect the tall ships from potential 

harm and to protect the public from the 

hazards associated with the limited 

maneuverability of tall sailing ships. 

When operating under sail, they require 

a substantial crew to manually turn the 

rudder and adjust the sails, therefore 

they cannot react as quickly as modern 

ships. Additionally, during parades of 

sail, the tall ships will be following a set 

course through a crowded harbor, and it 

is imperative that spectator craft stay 

clear since maneuvering the tall ships to 

avoid large crowds of spectator craft 

would not be possible. Due to the high 

profile nature and extensive publicity 

associated with this event, each Captain 

of the Port (COTP) expects a large 

number of spectators in confined areas 

adjacent to the tall ships. The 

combination of large numbers of 

recreational boaters, congested 

waterways, boaters crossing 

commercially transited waterways and 

low maneuverability of the tall ships 

could easily result in serious injuries or 

fatalities. Therefore, the Coast Guard 

will enforce a safety zone around each 

ship to ensure the safety of both 

participants and spectators in these 

areas. The Coast Guard is proposing this 

rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 

70034; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, 

and 160.5; DHS Delegation No. 0170.1. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard proposes to establish 

safety zones from 12:01 a.m. on June 24, 

2022, until 12:01 a.m. on August 29, 

2022. The safety zones would cover all 

navigable waters within 100 yards of a 

tall ship in the Great Lakes. The 

duration of the zone is intended to 

ensure the safety of vessels and these 

navigable waters during the 2022 Tall 

Ships Challenge. No vessel or person 

would be permitted to enter the safety 

zone without obtaining permission from 

the COTP or a designated 

representative. If the tall ships are 

operating in a confined area such as a 

small harbor and there is not adequate 

room for vessels to stay out of the safety 

zone because of a lack of navigable 

water, then vessels will be permitted to 

operate within the safety zone and shall 

travel at the minimum speed necessary 

to maintain a safe course. The 

navigation rules shall apply at all times 

within the safety zone. 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. 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, duration, 

and time-of-day of the safety zone. 

Vessel traffic would be able to safely 

transit around this safety zone or 

through it at slow speed in congested 

areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would 

issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via 

VHF–FM marine channel 16 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 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 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 63 / Friday, April 1, 2022 / Proposed Rules 19041 

(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 DHS Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, the 

associated DHS Instruction Manual 

023–01–001–01, Rev. 1, and 

Commandant Instruction on 

Environmental Planning Policy 

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 

the human environment. This proposed 

rule involves a safety zone lasting more 

than one week. 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 

Comments 

We view public participation as 

essential to effective rulemaking, and 

will consider all comments and material 

received during the comment period.

Removal of Title V Emergency 

Affirmative Defense Provisions From 

State Operating Permit Programs and 

the Federal Operating Permit Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is re-proposing a 

document, first proposed in 2016, 

which would remove the emergency 

affirmative defense provisions found in 

the regulations for state and federal 

operating permit programs under the 

Clean Air Act (CAA). The purpose of 

these provisions has been to establish an 

affirmative defense that sources can 

assert in civil enforcement cases when 

noncompliance with certain emission 

limitations in operating permits occurs 

because of qualifying ‘‘emergency’’ 

circumstances. These provisions, which 

have never been required elements of 

state operating permit programs, are 

being removed because they are 

inconsistent with the enforcement 

structure of the CAA and court 

decisions from the U.S. Court of 

Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The 

removal of these provisions is consistent 

with other EPA actions involving 

affirmative defenses and would 

harmonize the enforcement and 

implementation of emission limitations 

across different CAA programs. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 16, 2022. 

Public hearing: If anyone contacts 

EPA requesting a public hearing by 

April 6, 2022, the EPA will hold a 

virtual public hearing. See
