Title 3--
The President

                Executive Order 13547 of July 19, 2010


                Stewardship of the Ocean, Our Coasts, and the
                Great Lakes

                By the authority vested in me as President by the
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of
                America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Purpose. The ocean, our coasts, and the
                Great Lakes provide jobs, food, energy resources,
                ecological services, recreation, and tourism
                opportunities, and play critical roles in our Nation's
                transportation, economy, and trade, as well as the
                global mobility of our Armed Forces and the maintenance
                of international peace and security. The Deepwater
                Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and resulting
                environmental crisis is a stark reminder of how
                vulnerable our marine environments are, and how much
                communities and the Nation rely on healthy and
                resilient ocean and coastal ecosystems. America's
                stewardship of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great
                Lakes is intrinsically linked to environmental
                sustainability, human health and well-being, national
                prosperity, adaptation to climate and other
                environmental changes, social justice, international
                diplomacy, and national and homeland security.

                This order adopts the recommendations of the
                Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, except where
                otherwise provided in this order, and directs executive
                agencies to implement those recommendations under the
                guidance of a National Ocean Council. Based on those
                recommendations, this order establishes a national
                policy to ensure the protection, maintenance, and
                restoration of the health of ocean, coastal, and Great
                Lakes ecosystems and resources, enhance the
                sustainability of ocean and coastal economies, preserve
                our maritime heritage, support sustainable uses and
                access, provide for adaptive management to enhance our
                understanding of and capacity to respond to climate
                change and ocean acidification, and coordinate with our
                national security and foreign policy interests.

                This order also provides for the development of coastal
                and marine spatial plans that build upon and improve
                existing Federal, State, tribal, local, and regional
                decisionmaking and planning processes. These regional
                plans will enable a more integrated, comprehensive,
                ecosystem-based, flexible, and proactive approach to
                planning and managing sustainable multiple uses across
                sectors and improve the conservation of the ocean, our
                coasts, and the Great Lakes.

                Sec. 2. Policy. (a) To achieve an America whose
                stewardship ensures that the ocean, our coasts, and the
                Great Lakes are healthy and resilient, safe and
                productive, and understood and treasured so as to
                promote the well-being, prosperity, and security of
                present and future generations, it is the policy of the
                United States to:

that activity. Persons subject to the provisions of this rule will not
be exempt from significant new use reporting if they import into the
United States or process elemental mercury as part of an article. The
required notification will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate
the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity
before it occurs.

DATES: This final rule is effective August 20, 2010.

ANNOUNCEMENT 8

Subject: HAZ - PR. DOT/Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Cargo Tank Special Permits Into Regulations
 
[Federal Register: July 21, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 139)]
[Proposed Rules]              
[Page 42364-42373]

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

49 CFR Parts 171 and 173

[Docket No. PHMSA-2010-0017 (HM-245)]
RIN 2137-AE56
 
Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Cargo Tank Special
Permits Into Regulations

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is
proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to incorporate
provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding cargo tank
special permits that are granted to multiple parties and have an
established safety record. Special permits allow a company or
individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that
varies from the regulations provided an equivalent level of safety is
maintained. The proposed revisions are intended to provide wider access
to the regulatory flexibility offered in the special permits and
eliminate the need for numerous renewal requests, thereby, facilitating
commerce activity and reducing paperwork burdens while maintaining an
appropriate level of safety.

DATES: Comments must be received by August 20, 2010. A 30 day comment
period is appropriate for this rulemaking because it proposes to
incorporate long-standing, widely used special permits into the HMR.
These special permits have well-established safety records. Incorporation of
these special permits would reduce the compliance burden and cost on
both industry and government by removing the need to apply for special
permits.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by identification of the docket
number (PHMSA-2010-0017 (HM-245)) by any of the following methods:
    Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
    Fax: 1-202-493-2251.
    Mail: Docket Operations, U.S. Department of
Transportation, West Building, Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Routing
Symbol M-30, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.
    Hand Delivery: To Docket Operations, Room W12-140 on the
ground floor of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.
    Instructions: All submissions must include the agency name and
docket number for this notice at the beginning of the comment. All
comments received will be posted without change to the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS), including any personal information.
    Docket: For access to the dockets to read background documents or
comments received, go to http://www.regulations.gov or DOT's Docket
Operations Office (see ADDRESSES).
    Privacy Act: Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any
written communications and comments received into any of our dockets by
the name of the individual submitting the document (or signing the
document, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in
the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (Volume 65, Number 70;
Pages 19477-78).
