Tariff of Tolls
AGENCY
: Great Lakes St. Lawrence
Seaway Development Corporation, DOT.
ACTION
: Final rule.
SUMMARY
: 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 Tariff of Tolls
in their respective jurisdictions. The
Tariff sets forth the level of tolls
assessed on all commodities and vessels
transiting the facilities operated by the
GLS and the SLSMC. The GLS is
revising its regulations to reflect the fees
and charges levied by the SLSMC in
Canada starting in the 2021 navigation
season, which are effective only in
Canada. An amendment to increase the
minimum charge per lock for those
vessels that are not pleasure craft or
subject in Canada to tolls under items 1
and 2 of the Tariff for full or partial
transit of the Seaway will apply in the
U.S. (See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
.)
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,
signed into law on December 27, 2020.
The joint regulations are being amended
to reflect the name change. The Tariff of
Tolls are in effect in Canada.
DATES
: This rule is effective March 24,
2021.

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 Tariff of Tolls
(Schedule of Fees and Charges in
Canada) in their respective jurisdictions.
The Tariff sets forth the level of tolls
assessed on all commodities and vessels
transiting the facilities operated by the
GLS and the SLSMC. The GLS is
revising 33 CFR 402.12, ‘‘Schedule of
tolls’’, to reflect the fees and charges
levied by the SLSMC in Canada
beginning in the 2021 navigation
season. With one exception, the changes
affect the tolls for commercial vessels
and are applicable only in Canada. The
collection of tolls by the GLS on
commercial vessels transiting the U.S.
locks is waived by law (33 U.S.C.
988a(a)).
The GLS is amending 33 CFR 402.12,
‘‘Schedule of tolls’’, to increase the
minimum charge per vessel per lock for
full or partial transit of the Seaway from
$29.14 to $29.72. This charge is for
vessels that are not pleasure craft or
subject in Canada to the tolls under
items 1 and 2 of the Tariff. This increase
is due to higher operating costs at the
locks.
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.
116–260), signed into law on December
27, 2020. The joint regulations are being
amended to reflect the name change.

not apply and evaluation under the
Department of Transportation’s
Regulatory Policies and Procedures is
not required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Determination
I certify this regulation will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls
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 reg.) 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 rule
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.
104–4, 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.

AGENCY
: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION
: Final rule.
SUMMARY
: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is adopting three
technical standards developed by SAE
International (SAE) for equipment that
recovers, recycles, and/or recharges the
refrigerant 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-ene
(HFO–1234yf or R–1234yf) in motor
vehicle air conditioners (MVACs). The
three standards are SAE J2843, SAE
J2851, and SAE J3030. This rule adopts
the most current versions of these
standards by incorporating them by
reference into the regulations under
Title VI of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
This will provide additional flexibility
for industry stakeholders that wish to
select recovery and recycling equipment
certified to these standards.
DATES
: This final rule is effective on
April 23, 2021, 30 days after publication
in the Federal Register. The
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the rule is
approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of April 23, 2021.
