transmission owners, and certain

56. Of the 1,100 affected entities 

discussed above, we estimate that 

approximately 857 or 78 percent 70 of 

the affected entities are small. As 

discussed above, proposed Reliability 

Standard CIP–003–7 enhances 

reliability by providing criteria against 

which NERC and the Commission can 

evaluate the sufficiency of an entity’s 

electronic access controls for low 

impact BES Cyber systems, as well as 

improved security controls for transient 

electronic devices (e.g., thumb drives, 

laptop computers, and other portable 

devices frequently connected to and 

disconnected from systems). We 

estimate that each of the 857 small 

entities to whom the proposed 

modifications to Reliability Standard 

CIP–003–7 applies will incur one-time 

costs of approximately $3,360 per entity 

to implement this standard, as well as 

the ongoing paperwork burden reflected 

in the Information Collection Statement 

(approximately $39,480 per year per 

entity). We do not consider the 

estimated costs for these 857 small 

entities to be a significant economic 

impact. 

57. Based on the above analysis, we 

propose to certify that the proposed 

Reliability Standard will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

V. Environmental Analysis 

58. The Commission is required to 

prepare an Environmental Assessment 

or an Environmental Impact Statement 

for any action that may have a 

significant adverse effect on the human 

environment.71 The Commission has 

categorically excluded certain actions 

from this requirement as not having a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. Included in the exclusion 

are rules that are clarifying, corrective, 

or procedural or that do not 

substantially change the effect of the 

regulations being amended.72 The 

actions proposed herein fall within this 

categorical exclusion in the 

Commission’s regulations.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, St. 

Augustine, FL 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

withdrawing its advance notice of 

proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) 

concerning the Bridge of Lions (SR 

A1A) across the Atlantic Intracoastal 

Waterway, mile 777.9, at St. Augustine, 

Florida. The City of St. Augustine 

proposed to modify the bridge operating 

schedule to alleviate vehicle traffic 

congestion. However, the Coast Guard 

has determined it would be 

inappropriate to move forward with a 

notice of proposed rulemaking. The 

Coast Guard believes placing additional 

restrictions to the bridge would add 

additional hazards to mariners and 

effect the safe navigation of vessels 

awaiting bridge openings. 

DATES: The notice of proposed 

rulemaking published on March 15, 

2017 (82 FR 13785), is withdrawn on 

October 26, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

On March 15, 2017, the Coast Guard 

published an ANPRM entitled 

‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, St. 

Augustine, FL’’ in the Federal Register 

(82 FR 13785). The advance notice of 

proposed rulemaking sought comments 

and information concerning a request 

from the City of St. Augustine to change 

the operating schedule for the Bridge of 

Lions across the Atlantic Intracoastal 

Waterway, St. Augustine, Florida 

amending the twice an hour operating 

schedule to a 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. period. 

The City of St. Augustine was 

concerned that vehicle traffic was 

becoming exponentially worse with 

each passing season and that the current 

operating schedule was contributing to 

vehicle traffic backups. 

Withdrawal 

The Coast Guard received 386 

comments, of those, 62 comments were 

duplicate entries, 204 comments were in 

favor for the requested change and 120 

were against the requested change. The 

comments in favor of the change 

generally felt the additional restrictions 

to the bridge would help alleviate 

vehicular traffic on or around the bridge 

and the surrounding area. For the 

comments that opposed the change, by 

and large, the main concern was safety 

of mariners due to strong tidal currents 

and the high level of vessel activities 

occurring in the waters near the bridge. 

Strong currents, the close proximity of 

mooring fields and marinas would 

hamper the ability to ‘‘keep on station’’ 

while waiting for a bridge opening. 

Also, sailing vessels waiting for bridge 

opening would be required to be moving 

constantly all the while avoiding other 

waiting vessel traffic. The requested 

change to the operating schedule would 

extend the twice an hour draw opening 

schedule by an additional three hours 

into the evening. Concern was 

expressed by having to wait for an 

opening in darkness, stating this would 

cause additional hazards due to vessels 

already underway, traffic lights against 

the city and vehicular lights adjacent to 

the waterway. The Coast Guard 

acknowledges all of the above safety 

concerns, and for that reason, we find 

that any benefits of the possible 

additional restrictions to the Bridge of 

Lions do not outweigh the additional 

hazards to vessels and mariners 

transiting the area around the bridge. 

The current regulation as written in 33 

CFR 117.261(d) will remain in effect. 

Dated: October 5, 2017.

Copyright Office 

37 CFR Part 201 

[Docket No. 2017–10] 

Exemptions To Permit Circumvention 

of Access Controls on Copyrighted 

Works 

AGENCY: U.S. Copyright Office, Library 

of Congress. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The United States Copyright 

Office (‘‘Copyright Office’’ or ‘‘Office’’) 

is conducting the seventh triennial 

rulemaking proceeding under the Digital 

Millennium Copyright Act (‘‘DMCA’’), 

concerning possible temporary 

exemptions to the DMCA’s prohibition 

against circumvention of technological 

measures that control access to 

copyrighted works. In this proceeding, 

the Copyright Office has established a 

new, streamlined procedure for the 

renewal of exemptions that were 

granted during the sixth triennial 

rulemaking. It is also considering 

petitions for new exemptions to engage 

in activities not currently permitted by 

existing exemptions. On June 30, 2017, 

the Office published a Notice of Inquiry 

requesting petitions to renew existing 

exemptions and comments in response 

to those petitions, as well as petitions 

for new exemptions to engage in 

activities not currently permitted by 

existing exemptions. The Office has 

carefully considered the comments 

received in response to that Notice. 

With this Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (‘‘NPRM’’), the Office 

intends to recommend each of the 

existing exemptions for readoption. This 

NPRM also initiates three rounds of 

public comment on the newly-proposed 

exemptions. Interested parties are 

invited to make full legal and 

evidentiary submissions in support of or 

in opposition to the proposed 

exemptions, in accordance with the 

requirements set forth below. 

DATES: Initial written comments 

(including documentary evidence) and 

multimedia evidence from proponents 

and other members of the public who 

support the adoption of a proposed 

exemption, as well as parties that
