43950 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 174 / Thursday, September 11, 2025 / Proposed Rules 1Operational Resilience Framework for Futures Commission Merchants, Swap Dealers, and Major Swap Participants, 89 FR 4706 (Jan. 24, 2024). 2 89 FR 14007 (Feb. 26, 2024). rulemaking in the Federal Register proposing new Commission regulation 1.13 under the Commodity Exchange Act, as well as amendments to existing Commission regulation 23.603 under the Commodity Exchange Act.1 The proposed rules would have required futures commission merchants, swap dealers, and major swap participants to establish and implement an operational resilience framework comprised of an information and technology security program, a third-party relationship program, and a business continuity and disaster recovery plan. The proposed rules would have also imposed requirements related to governance, training, testing, recordkeeping, and incident notifications in support of the operational resilience framework. On February 26, 2024, the Commission published a release in the Federal Register which extended the comment period for the proposal to April 1, 2024.2 Withdrawal of Proposed Rules The Commission is withdrawing the proposal to reconsider how the proposed rules work in practice with the operational resilience rules of other regulators, including both domestic and foreign. Many swap dealers and futures commission merchants are part of banking organizations that have already implemented comprehensive enterprise￾wide operational resilience programs pursuant to U.S. or non-U.S. regulations. Thus, the Commission no longer intends to issue final rules with respect to the proposal. If the Commission decides to pursue future regulatory action in this area, it will do so by publishing new proposed rules or other issuance consistent with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, as applicable. Executive Order 12866 The Office of Management and Budget has determined that this action is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866, as amended, and therefore it was not subject to Executive Order 12866 review. Issued in Washington, DC, on September 9, 2025, by the Commission. Christopher Kirkpatrick, Secretary of the Commission.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters of the Houston Ship Channel around the Beltway 8 Bridge (Sam Houston Tollway Ship Channel Bridge), during bridge construction and demolition activities. The temporary safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by constructing a new bridge. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Houston-Galveston. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking. DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before October 14, 2025. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG– 2025–0643 using the Federal Docket Management System at https:// www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public Participation and Request for Comments’’ portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further instructions on submitting comments. This notice of proposed rulemaking with its plain-language, 100- word-or-less proposed rule summary will be available in this same docket. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this proposed rulemaking, call or email Marine Science Technician Chief Petty Officer Anthony W. Booth, Sector Houston￾Galveston Waterway Management Division, Coast Guard; Telephone (713) 398–5823, Email houstonwwm@ uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis On July 24, 2025, construction of the new Beltway 8 Bridge (Sam Houston Tollway Ship Channel Bridge) started over the navigable waters of the Houston Ship Channel. The Coast Guard previously published a short-term temporary safety zone to cover the initial phase of this construction, which covers only a small area along the north and south shorelines around the bridge (90 FR 35438, July 28, 2025). That safety zone expires on October 22, 2025, and a long-term safety zone is necessary to provide for safety during the remainder of the construction and demolition project. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The construction of the new Southbound and Northbound lanes, and demolition of the old Beltway 8 Bridge (Sam Houston Tollway Ship Channel Bridge) are estimated to be complete around March 2030. The Captain of the Port Sector Houston-Galveston (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with construction over the ship channel will be a safety concern for anyone transiting under the bridge. Hazards associated with this project include falling construction equipment, materials or other debris. The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels and the navigable waters during the construction of the new Beltway 8 Bridge (Sam Houston Tollway Ship Channel Bridge). While this zone will be in effect for several years, the Coast Guard anticipates that the main navigable channel of the Houston Ship Channel will remain open for the majority of the time, and impact on vessel navigation will be minimal. During the times of overhead construction outside of the federal channel, vessels will be allowed to transit under the bridge only within the federal channel. The channel will be closed for a short period when the construction or demolition is actively occurring over the main federal channel, and these closures will be coordinated VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:19 Sep 10, 2025 Jkt 265001 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\11SEP1.SGM 11SEP1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
