26268 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 4, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

related to rulemaking. Below is a 

summary of the Committee’s 

determinations after analysis of these 

statutes and Executive orders with 

respect to this rulemaking. 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) requires a 30-day delay in the 

effective date of a rule unless the 

promulgating agency finds ‘‘good cause’’ 

for dispensing with the delay or another 

exception applies. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). 

The Administrative Committee has 

determined that the good-cause 

exception applies to this rule. 

The ‘‘primary purpose’’ for deferring 

the effective date of a rule is ‘‘to afford 

persons affected a reasonable time to 

prepare for the effective date of a rule 

or rules or to take other action which 

the issuance may prompt.’’ N. Arapahoe 

Tribe v. Hodel, 808 F.2d 741, 752 (10th 

Cir. 1987) (quotation marks omitted); 

Am. Fed’n of Gov’t Emp., AFL–CIO v. 

Block, 655 F.2d 1153, 1156 (D.C. Cir. 

1981) (noting that a delay in the 

effective date ‘‘serve[s] the laudable 

purpose of informing affected parties 

and affording them a reasonable time to 

adjust to the new regulation’’). The 

regulatory changes at issue in this 

rulemaking will not require any 

significant time for affected parties to 

alter their behavior because Members of 

Congress or other offices will 

immediately be able to use the online 

portal at www.gpo.gov/frsubs to request 

print subscriptions to the Federal 

Register. In addition, this rule has no 

effect on paid subscriptions, and it does 

not affect public access to the Federal 

Register, as the publication will remain 

freely available online at 

www.GovInfo.gov and 

www.federalregister.gov. Because the 

rule will have no significant effect on 

either requesting offices or the public 

more generally, regulated parties will 

not need time to come into compliance 

with the rule, and the good-cause 

exception under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) 

applies. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

This rule has been drafted in 

accordance with Executive Order 12866, 

section 1(b), ‘‘The Principles of 

Regulation,’’ and Executive Order 

13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review.’’ The 

Administrative Committee has 

determined that this rule is not a 

significant regulatory action as defined 

under section 3(f) of Executive Order 

12866. Thus, this rule has not been 

reviewed by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This rule will not have a significant 

impact on small entities because it 

imposes no requirements on the public. 

Members of the public can access 

Federal Register publications for free 

through GPO’s website, 

www.govinfo.gov/. 

Federalism 

This rule has no federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. It does not impose compliance 

costs on State or local governments or 

preempt State law. 

Congressional Review 

This rule is not a major rule as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The 

Administrative Committee will submit a 

rule report, including a copy of this 

final rule, to each House of the Congress 

and to the Comptroller General of the 

United States as required under the 

congressional review provisions of the 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1986. 5 U.S.C. 801(a).

Extension of Expiration Dates for 

Three Body System Listings 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are extending the 

expiration dates of the following body 

systems in the Listing of Impairments 

(listings) in our regulations: Special 

Senses and Speech, Hematological 

Disorders, and Congenital Disorders 

That Affect Multiple Body Systems. We 

are making no other revisions to these 

body systems in this final rule. This 

extension ensures that we will continue 

to have the criteria we need to evaluate 

impairments in the affected body 

systems at step three of the sequential 

evaluation processes for initial claims 

and continuing disability reviews.

evaluation processes we use to determine whether 

a beneficiary’s disability continues. See 20 CFR 

404.1594, 416.994, and 416.994a. 

2We last extended the expiration dates of the 

three body system listings affected by this final rule 

on February 24, 2020 (85 FR 10278). 

3See the first sentence of appendix 1 to subpart 

P of part 404 of 20 CFR. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

May 4, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

We use the listings in appendix 1 to 

subpart P of part 404 of 20 CFR at the 

third step of the sequential evaluation 

process to evaluate claims filed by 

adults and children for benefits based 

on disability under the title II and title 

XVI programs.1 20 CFR 404.1520(d), 

416.920(d), 416.924(d). The listings are 

in two parts: Part A has listings criteria 

for adults and Part B has listings criteria 

for children. If you are age 18 or over, 

we apply the listings criteria in Part A 

when we assess your impairment or 

combination of impairments. If you are 

under age 18, we first use the criteria in 

Part B of the listings when we assess 

your impairment(s). If the criteria in 

Part B do not apply, we may use the 

criteria in Part A when those criteria 

consider the effects of your 

impairment(s). 20 CFR 404.1525(b), 

416.925(b). 

Explanation of Changes 

In this final rule, we are extending the 

dates on which the listings for the 

following three body systems will no 

longer be effective as set out in the 

following chart: 

Body system listings Current expiration date New expiration date 

Special Senses and Speech 2.00 and 102.00 ............................................................................. June 3, 2022 ............... June 5, 2026. 

Hematological Disorders 7.00 and 107.00 ................................................................................... June 3, 2022 ............... June 5, 2026. 

Congenital Disorders That Affect Multiple Body Systems 10.00 and 110.00 .............................. June 3, 2022 ............... June 5, 2026. 

We continue to revise and update the 

listings on a regular basis, including 

those body systems not affected by this 

final rule.2 We intend to update the 

three listings affected by this final rule 

as necessary based on medical advances 

as quickly as possible, but may not be 

able to publish final rules revising these 

listings by the current expiration date. 

Therefore, we are extending the 

expiration dates listed above. 

Regulatory Procedures 

Justification for Final Rule 

We follow the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking 

procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in 

promulgating regulations. Section 

702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. 902(a)(5). Generally, the APA 

requires that an agency provide prior 

notice and opportunity for public 

comment before issuing a final 

regulation. The APA provides 

exceptions to the notice-and-comment 

requirements when an agency finds 

there is good cause for dispensing with 

such procedures because they are 

impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest. 

We determined that good cause exists 

for dispensing with the notice and 

public comment procedures. 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B). This final rule only extends 

the date on which the three body system 

listings will no longer be effective. It 

makes no substantive changes to our 

rules. Our current regulations 3 provide 

that we may extend, revise, or 

promulgate the body system listings 

again. Therefore, we determined that 

opportunity for prior comment is 

unnecessary, and we are issuing this 

regulation as a final rule. 

In addition, for the reasons cited 

above, we find good cause for 

dispensing with the 30-day delay in the 

effective date of this final rule. 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). We are not making any 

substantive changes to the listings in 

these body systems. Without an 

extension of the expiration date for 

these listings, we will not have the 

criteria we need to assess medical 

impairments in these three body 

systems at step three of the sequential 

evaluation processes. We therefore find 

it is in the public interest to make this 

final rule effective on the publication 

date. 

Executive Order 12866, as 

Supplemented by Executive Order 

13563 

We consulted with the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

determined that this final rule does not 

meet the requirements for a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866, as supplemented by Executive 

Order 13563. Therefore, OMB did not 

review it. We also determined that this 

final rule meets the plain language 

requirement of Executive Order 12866. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

We certify that this final rule does not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

because it affects only individuals. 

Therefore, a regulatory flexibility 

analysis is not required under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final rule only extends the date 

for the medical listings cited above, but 

does not create any new or affect any 

existing collections, or otherwise change 

any content of the currently published 

rules. Accordingly, it does not impose 

any burdens under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act and does not require 

OMB approval.

Special Local Regulations; Annual 

Events in Captain of the Port Delaware 

Bay Zone 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing special local regulations for 

four annual marine events in the 

Captain of the Port (COTP), Delaware 

Bay Zone. This action is necessary to 

protect participants, spectators, and 

vessels from the hazards associated with 

the varying types of marine events. This 

rulemaking prohibits persons and 

vessels from being in the regulated areas 

during the enforcement period unless 

authorized by the COTP or a designated 

representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective June 3, 

2022.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The four marine events included in 

this rule are held on a recurring basis on 

the navigable waters within the Captain 

of the Port, Delaware Bay Zone. 

Historically, the Coast Guard 

established annual temporary final 

regulations for each of these recurring 

events. In response, on February 17, 

2022, the Coast Guard published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

titled Special Local Regulations; Annual 

Events in Captain of the Port Delaware 

Bay Zone (87 FR 8994). There, we stated 

why we issued the NPRM, and invited 

comments on our proposed regulatory 

action related to the special local 

regulations and recurring marine events. 

During the comment period that ended 

March 21, 2022 we received no 

comments. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70041. The 

Secretary has delegated ports and 

waterways authority, with certain 

reservations not applicable here, to the 

Commandant via DHS Delegation No. 

00170.1(II)(70), Revision No. 01.2. The 

Commandant has further delegated 

these authorities within the Coast Guard 

as described in 33 CFR 1.05–1 and 6.04– 

6. The Coast Guard has determined that 

the events listed in this rule could pose 

a risk to participants or waterway users 

if normal vessel traffic were to interfere 

with the event. Possible hazards include 

risks of participant injury or death 

resulting from near or actual contact 

with non-participant vessels traversing 

through the regulated areas. In order to 

protect the safety of all waterway users, 

including event participants and 

spectators, this rule establishes special 

local regulations for the time and 

location of each marine event. This rule 

prevents vessels from entering, 

transiting, mooring or anchoring within 

areas specifically designated as 

regulated areas during the periods of 

enforcement unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port (COTP), or 

designated Event Patrol Commander. 

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, 

and the Rule 

As noted above, we received no 

comments on our NPRM published 

February 17, 2022. There are no changes 

in the regulatory text of this rule from 

the proposed rule in the NPRM. 

The Coast Guard is adding four 

reoccurring special local regulations for 

annual marine events in the Captain of 

the Port Delaware Bay to 33 CFR 

100.501 in Table 1 to Paragraph (i)(1). 

The Coast Guard will publish annual 

notice of the exact dates and times of 

the effective periods of the regulations. 

For each event, the notices will also 

provide the geographical description of 

each regulated area and other pertinent 

details concerning the nature of the 

events. This rule is necessary to protect 

participants, spectators, and vessels 

from the hazards associated with the 

varying types of marine events. During 

the enforcement periods of these special 

local regulations, non-participant 

persons or vessels are prohibited from 

entering into, remaining within, 

transiting through, or anchoring in the 

regulated area unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port Delaware Bay or a 

designated representative of the Captain 

of the Port. The regulatory text appears 

at the end of this document. 

Below is a description of the four 

reoccurring marine events that we are 

adding to Table 1 to Paragraph (i)(1) in 

100.501. 

1. Stockton Boat Race. 

This marine event takes place one 

weekend in March or April at the 

location described below. The event is 

in Atlantic City, NJ, where the following 

area makes up the regulated area: All
