46254 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 4, 2017 / Notices 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

In compliance with Section 

3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review and 

approval of the information collection 

listed below. 

Proposed Collection: The National 

Institute of Mental Health Data Archive 

(NDA), REVISION, OMB Control 

Number 0925–0667, National Institute 

of Mental Health (NIMH), National 

Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: This REVISION request 

seeks approval of updates to the 

previously approved National Database 

for Autism Research Data Access 

Request and Data Use Certification, to 

include additional terms/options for 

data submission and access to meet the 

needs of the expanding resource, and to 

change the repository name to the NIMH 

Data Archive (NDA). The NDA, formerly 

known as the National Database for 

Autism Research (NDAR), is an 

infrastructure that allows for the 

submission and storage of human 

subjects data from researchers 

conducting studies related to many 

scientific domains, regardless of the 

source of funding. The NIH and NIMH 

developed this resource to allow for the 

public collection of information from: 

(1) Individuals who seek permission to 

access data from the NDA for the 

purpose of scientific investigation, 

scholarship or teaching, or other forms 

of research and research development, 

via the Data Use Certification (DUC), 

and (2) individuals who request 

permission to submit data to the NDA 

for the purpose of scientific 

investigation, scholarship or teaching, 

or other forms of research and research 

development, via the Data Submission 

Agreement (DSA). The extensive 

information stored in the NDA 

continues to provide a rare and valuable 

scientific resource to the field, and plays 

an integral part in fulfilling research 

objectives in multiple scientific 

domains. The NIH and the NIMH seek 

to encourage use of the NDA by 

investigators in the field of multiple 

scientific research domains to achieve 

rapid scientific progress. In order to take 

full advantage of this resource and 

maximize its research value, it is 

important that data are made broadly 

available, on appropriate terms and 

conditions, to the largest possible 

number of investigators. 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

1,500.

BILLING CODE 4140–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Office of the Secretary 

Waiver of Compliance With Navigation 

Laws; Hurricane Maria 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico 

resulting in widespread damage to its 

infrastructure. In light of this 

devastation, the Department of Defense 

(DoD) has requested a 10-day waiver of 

the Jones Act in the interest of national 

defense, commencing immediately. 

The Jones Act, 46 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) 55102, states ‘‘a vessel may not 

provide any part of the transportation of 

merchandise by water, or by land and 

water, between points in the United 

States to which the coastwise laws 

apply, either directly or via a foreign 

port’’ unless the vessel was built in and 

documented under the laws of the 

United States and is wholly owned by 

persons who are citizens of the United 

States. Such a vessel, after obtaining a 

coastwise endorsement from the U.S. 

Coast Guard, is ‘‘coastwise-qualified.’’ 

The coastwise laws generally apply to 

points in the territorial sea, which is 

defined as the belt, three nautical miles 

wide, seaward of the territorial sea 

baseline, and to points located in 

internal waters, landward of the 

territorial sea baseline. 

The navigation laws, including the 

coastwise laws, can be waived under the 

authority provided by 46 U.S.C. 501. 

The statute provides in relevant part, 

‘‘On request of the Secretary of Defense, 

the head of an agency responsible for 

the administration of the navigation or 

vessel-inspection laws shall waive 

compliance with those laws to the 

extent the Secretary considers necessary 

in the interest of national defense.’’ 46 

U.S.C. 501(a). 

For the reasons stated above, and in 

light of the request from the Department 

of Defense, I am exercising my authority 

to waive the Jones Act for a 10-day 

period, commencing immediately, to 

facilitate movement of all products to be 

shipped from U.S. coastwise points to 

Puerto Rico. This waiver applies to 

covered merchandise laded on board a 

vessel within the 10-day period of the 

waiver and delivered by October 18, 

2017. Carriers or shippers who conduct 

transportation pursuant to this waiver 

should provide notice of the vessel, 

dates of embarkation and 

disembarkation, type and quantity of 

cargo, and port of embarkation to 

JonesActWaiverRequest@cbp.dhs.gov. 

Executed this 28th day of September, 2017. 

Elaine C. Duke, 

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security.
