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 Regulations and Rules Practices and Procedures in Canada in their respective jurisdictions.
Under agreement with the SLSMC, the GLS is amending the joint regulations by updating the Regulations and Rules in various categories. The changes update the following sections of the Regulations and Rules: Interpretations;
Condition of Vessels; Seaway Navigation; Dangerous Cargo; and Schedule II. These changes are to clarify existing requirements in the regulations.
In addition, Congress renamed the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation SLSDC as Great Lakes St.
Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation GLS as part of the 2021
Consolidated Appropriations Act Section 512 of Division AA of Pub. L.
116260, signed into law on December 27, 2020. The joint regulations are being amended to reflect the name change.
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 DOTs complete Privacy Act Statement in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 Volume 65, Number 70; Pages 1947778 or you may visit http
www.Regulations.gov.
The joint regulations will become effective in Canada on March 24, 2021.
For consistency, because these are joint regulations under international agreement, and to avoid confusion among users of the Seaway, the GLS
finds that there is good cause to make the U.S. version of the amendments effective on the same date.
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 Transportations

I certify that this regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Regulations and Rules 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 seq. 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 proposal 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.
1044, 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.
