Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant's Securities; Correction

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a final rule to make technical corrections to its disclosure rules and forms regarding guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities. These amendments conform the numbering of regulatory text in Section 210.8-01 to match renumbering established in a separate rule published in the same Federal Register issue. The corrections ensure that financial statement requirements for smaller reporting companies and their affiliates are accurately aligned with current regulatory structures.

[FR Doc. 2020–11480 Filed 8–28–20; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8011–01–P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 33 CFR Part 165 [Docket Number USCG–2020–0520] RIN 1625–AA00 Emergency Safety Zone; Lower Mississippi River, Knowlton Revetment, AR AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. ACTION: Temporary final rule. SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for emergency purposes for all waters of the Lower Mississippi River (LMR), between Mile Marker 618 and 622. The emergency safety zone is needed to protect persons, property, infrastructure, and the marine environment from the potential safety hazards associated with the Mat Sinking Unit effort in the vicinity of the Knowlton Revetment, AR. Deviation from the safety zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Lower Mississippi River or a designated representative. DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from August 31, 2020 through August 31, 2020, or until all dredge work is complete, whichever occurs earlier. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from August 17, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register LMR Lower Mississippi River MM River Mile Marker NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those procedures are ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because shoaling and falling water levels in the vicinity of Knowlton Revetment, AR has greatly reduced the width of the navigable channel, impeding the safe navigation of vessel traffic and immediate action is needed to protect persons and property. Completing the full NPRM process is impracticable because we must establish this safety zone as soon as possible. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest because immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the dredge operations in the vicinity of Knowlton Revetment, AR.
