SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated May 30, 2008, the President declared a major disaster under the
authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (the Stafford Act), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Nebraska resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding
during the period of April 23-26, 2008, is of sufficient severity
and magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42
U.S.C. 5121-5206 (the Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of Nebraska.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and
administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the
designated areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, and any
other forms of assistance under the Stafford Act that you deem
appropriate. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act
for Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs. Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs, except for any particular projects that are eligible
for a higher Federal cost-sharing percentage under the FEMA Public
Assistance Pilot Program instituted pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777. If
Other Needs Assistance under Section 408 of the Stafford Act is
later requested and warranted, Federal funding under that program
also will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Thomas A. Hall, of FEMA is appointed
to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this declared disaster.
    The following areas of the State of Nebraska have been designated
as

adversely affected by this declared major disaster:

Foreign Carrier Exemption Conditions

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the foreign carrier
applicant(s) shall:

(1)  Not conduct any operations unless it holds a currently effective
authorization from its homeland for such operations, and it has filed a
copy of such authorization with the Department;

(2)  Comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration, including, but not limited to, 14 CFR Parts 129, 91, and
36, and with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning
security, including, but not limited to, 49 CFR Part 1546 or 1550, as
applicable.  To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government
requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing
any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise
the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

(3)  Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage
contained in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any
operations under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the
form of a completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation
Administration’s Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards
Service (any changes to, or termination of, insurance also shall be
filed with that office);

(4)  Not operate aircraft under this authority unless it complies with
operational safety requirements at least equivalent to Annex 6 of the
Chicago Convention;

(5)  Conform to the airworthiness and airman competency requirements of
its Government for international air services;

(6)  Except as specifically exempted or otherwise provided for in a
Department Order, comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 203,
concerning waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

(7)  Agree that operations under this authority constitute a waiver of
sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: (a)  based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or (b)  based
on a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term "international air transportation" means "international
transportation" as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

(8)  Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

(9)  Comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 217, concerning the
reporting of scheduled, nonscheduled, and charter data;

(10) If charter operations are authorized, except as otherwise provided
in the applicable aviation agreement, comply with the Department's rules
governing charters (including 14 CFR Parts 212 and 380); and

(11) Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and
limitations required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the
Department, with all applicable orders or regulations of other U.S.
agencies and courts, and with all applicable laws of the United States.

This authority shall not be effective during any period when the holder
is not in compliance with the conditions imposed above.  Moreover, this
authority cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without explicit
Department approval under Title 49 of the U.S. Code.

 We note that Bahamasair sought authority for a period of two years.
However, as is our usual practice in conferring exemption authority in
the circumstances presented, we are limiting the term of authority to
one year.   Bahamasair may, of course seek renewal of this authority in
accordance with the Department’s regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Considerations for the Inclusion of Adolescent Patients in
Adult Oncology Clinical Trials.'' The purpose of this guidance is to
provide the pharmaceutical industry, clinical investigators, and
institutional review boards with information to facilitate the
inclusion of adolescent patients (for purposes of this guidance,
defined as ages 12 to 17) in relevant adult oncology clinical trials.
The following topics are the focus of this guidance: (1) Appropriate
patient selection criteria for the inclusion of adolescent patients in
adult oncology clinical trials at various stages of drug development,
(2) considerations for dosing and pharmacokinetic evaluations, (3)
safety monitoring, and (4) ethical considerations. This guidance
finalizes the draft guidance of the same name issued on June 4, 2018
(83 FR 25675). All the public comments received on the draft guidance
have been considered and the guidance has been revised as appropriate.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Considerations for the Inclusion of
Adolescent Patients in Adult Oncology Clinical Trials.'' It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance
is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collection of information in 21 CFR part 312 have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0014. The collection of
information in 21 CFR parts 50 and 56 have been approved under OMB
control numbers 0910-0755 and 0910-0130. The information collection
resulting from Clinical Trial Data Monitoring Committees has been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0581. The information collection
in the ``Guidance for Industry: Oversight of Clinical Investigations; A
Risk-Based Approach to Monitoring'' has been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0733.

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What Action Is the EPA Taking?

    EPA is taking direct final action to fully approve a revision to
the Louisiana SIP. During the 2004 Regular Session of the Louisiana
Legislature, legislation was enacted granting the Secretary of the
Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) the power to
exempt vehicles of that model year and vehicles from prior model years
from OBD testing. The Secretary of LDEQ submitted a SIP Revision for
the Low Enhanced Vehicle I/M Program for the Baton Rouge Ozone
Nonattainment Area. This nonattainment area consists of Ascension, East
Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston, and West Baton Rouge Parishes.
    The Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 requires that Baton Rouge
implement a vehicle inspection/maintenance program to limit the amounts
of VOC and NOX emitted from motor vehicles. Beginning in
February of 1998, the EPA and the state of Louisiana consulted on an
approvable I/M Program plan. On September 26, 2002, the EPA approved
the I/M program for the Baton Rouge nonattainment area. The program
required annual safety inspections on vehicles that are gasoline-fueled
and have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less
that are registered in the covered area. The subject vehicles are
identified through the Department of Public Safety Office of Motor
Vehicles database of registered vehicles in the five-parish
nonattainment area.

II. What Did the State Submit?

    The May 5, 2006, submittal includes a SIP narrative and a modeling
demonstration. The State also submitted documentation giving the
Secretary of the LDEQ additional authority in administering the I/M
program. On July 1, 2004, Act No. 584 of the 2004 Regular Session of
the Louisiana Legislature revised section 2054 of the Louisiana Revised
Statutes R.S. 30:2054(B)(8) to authorize the secretary of environmental
quality at the beginning of each year to exempt vehicles of that
calendar year and vehicles from the prior model year from OBD testing.
State regulations revised in March 2005 to reflect this change were
also submitted. Louisiana Administrative Code Title 55:Part III,
Chapter 8 was revised at LAC 55:III: 819(C) in November 2004 to allow
the exemptions pursuant to R.S. 30:2054(B)(8). The I/M program grants
no other special exemptions.
    The modeling demonstration provided 2002 modeling and 2007
projections using MOBILE 6.2.03 emission factor modeling. MOBILE is an
EPA emission factor model used to predict pollution from on-road motor
vehicles. The model accounts for changes in vehicle population,
activity, variation, and emission standards in local conditions such as
temperature, humidity, fuel quality, and air quality. The MOBILE6
modeling submitted by LDEQ reflects an overall reduction in VOC and
NOX emissions and demonstrates that the program will
continue to meet the performance standard with the first two model
years exempted from testing. This data may be found in the technical
support document.

III. What Are the Federal Requirements?

    Model year coverage is not strictly specified in 40 CFR 51.356
(Vehicle Coverage) in the Federal I/M rule. Special exemption may be
permitted for certain subject vehicles provided a demonstration is made
showing the performance standard is met. All model year exemptions are
covered by this provision. The state of Louisiana provided sufficient
MOBILE6 modeling that supports an overall reduction in NOX
and VOC as required in Section 182(c)(3) of the Clean Air Act. This
evidence of an overall reduction in NOX and VOC demonstrates
that this SIP revision meets and complies with section 110(l) of the
Act.

IV. What Is the Effect of This Action?

    By definition, the OBD computer system is installed in a vehicle by
the manufacturer, and monitors the performance of the vehicle's
emissions control equipment. The inspection of the OBD system consists
of a visual check of the vehicle's malfunction indicator lamp, and an
electronic examination of the OBD system. This exemption alleviates a
portion of the waiting time incurred at inspection stations by
decreasing the amount of vehicles subject to the entire inspection
process. The exempted vehicles are only required to obtain visual anti-
tampering checks and gas cap integrity tests.

V. Why Can We Approve This Revision?

    We conclude that the Baton Rouge I/M Program meets the requirements
of the Federal I/M regulations. Therefore, EPA can approve the
revisions to the Baton Rouge low enhanced vehicle I/M program. The
State consulted with EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality in
preparation of the MOBILE 6.2.03 demonstration. The State submitted the
modeling demonstration showing that the low enhanced performance
standard, as established in 2002, is met when the two newest model
years are exempt from OBD testing. The revision meets the performance
standard requirements, and it meets and complies with section 110(l) of
the Act.

VI. Final Action

    We are approving this revision to the Baton Rouge I/M program. EPA
is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we view this as
a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse comments.
However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register
publication, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as
the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are
received. This rule will be effective on January 12, 2007 without
further notice unless we receive adverse comment by December 13, 2006.
If we receive adverse comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal in
the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take
effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may
be severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under State law and does
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by
State law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).
    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism
implications because it does not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the national government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely approves a state rule
implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically
significant.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not
impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by January 12, 2007. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such
rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings
to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent 1000-A2, Trent
1000-AE2, Trent 1000-C2, Trent 1000-CE2, Trent 1000-D2, Trent 1000-E2,
Trent 1000-G2, Trent 1000-H2, Trent 1000-J2, Trent 1000-K2, and Trent
1000-L2 engines. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking and
separation of certain low-pressure turbine (LPT) stage 1 blade
assemblies. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of
affected LPT stage 1 blade assemblies for cracking or separation and,
depending on the results of the inspections, reduction of the
inspection interval or replacement of the LPT stage 1 blade set and
disk, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 26, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 26,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all RRD Model Trent
1000-A2, Trent 1000-AE2, Trent 1000-C2, Trent 1000-CE2, Trent 1000-D2,
Trent 1000-E2, Trent 1000-G2, Trent 1000-H2, Trent 1000-J2, Trent 1000-
K2, and Trent 1000-L2 engines. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on July 31, 2023 (88 FR 49361). The NPRM was prompted by EASA
AD 2023-0027, dated January 31, 2023 (EASA AD 2023-0027) (also referred
to as the MCAI) issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the
Member States of the European Union. The MCAI states that manufacturer
inspections detected cracking and separation of blade pairs in the weld
region of certain LPT stage 1 blade assemblies. A blade assembly
consists of a pair of blades welded together at the outer shroud. There
are 85 LPT stage 1 blade assemblies in one set. Such cracking and
separation could cause failure of affected parts and damage to the LPT
module.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1637.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require initial and repetitive
inspections of affected LPT stage 1 blade assemblies for cracking or
separation and, depending on the results of the inspections, reduction
of the inspection interval or replacement of the LPT stage 1 blade set
and disk. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received one comment from The Boeing Company (Boeing).
Boeing supported the NPRM without change.

Conclusion

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comment received, and determined that air safety
requires adopting the AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for
minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2023-0027, which specifies procedures for
inspection of affected LPT stage 1 blade assemblies and replacement of
the LPT stage 1 blade set and disk. EASA AD 2023-0027 also specifies a
reduction of the repetitive inspection intervals if cracking or
separation is detected and meets certain criteria.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 26 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that are required based on the results of the inspection.
The agency has no way of determining the number of engines that might
need these replacements:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[Docket No. USCG-2008-0648]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Islais Creek, San Francisco, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing the operating regulation for the
Illinois Street drawbridge, mile 0.3, and the 3rd Street drawbridge,
mile 0.4, over Islais Creek to open on signal if at least 72 hours
advance notice is given. This action is warranted due to the minimal
amount of vessels requiring drawbridge openings on the waterway.

DATES: This rule is effective January 5, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On July 24, 2008, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Islais Creek, San
Francisco, CA in the Federal Register (73 FR 143). We received no
public submissions on the proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.

Background and Purpose

    The Port of San Francisco as bridge owner requested a change in the
operation regulation of the Illinois Street drawbridge, mile 0.3, over
Islais Creek, in the City and County of San Francisco, CA. The
drawbridge is required to open on signal under 33 CFR 117.5. The
drawbridge provides 5 feet of vertical clearance for vessels above Mean
High Water (MHW) in the closed-to-navigation position and unlimited
vertical clearance when open.
    The San Francisco Department of Public Works owned, 3rd Street
drawbridge, mile 0.4, over Islais Creek is required to open for vessels
if at least one hour notice is given under 33 CFR 117.163. The
drawbridge provides 4 feet of vertical clearance above MHW.
    Islais Creek is one mile in length from its mouth to its navigable
terminus, an outfall culvert. It is located in an industrial section of
southeast San Francisco with no marinas on the waterway. There have
been no requests for openings of the 3rd Street drawbridge and no
complaints from waterway users since construction of the Illinois
Street Drawbridge in 2003.
    Due to infrequent calls for drawbridge openings, the San Francisco
Department of Public Works requested at least 72 hours advance notice.
This final rule will require both drawbridges to conform to the same 72
hour advance notification requirement, creating uniformity on the
waterway and allowing bridge owners to manage their personnel more
efficiently, while meeting the reasonable needs of navigation.
    From 1990-2000, the existing 3rd Street drawbridge, mile 0.4,
annually averaged 8 openings for state, federal, and local vessels, 2.3
openings for recreational vessels, and 1.3 openings for tugs and
barges. There has been an average of 15.8 openings, including testing
of the drawspan, per year, from 1990 to 2000. There are no marinas on
the waterway and none are currently planned. The last commercial vessel
to request a drawspan opening did so to remove an abandoned vessel from
Islais Creek.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    This final rule amends the Illinois Street Drawbridge, mile 0.3,
operation regulation from opening ``on signal'' to opening ``on signal,
if at least 72 hours advance notice is given.'' This final rule amends
the 3rd Street Drawbridge, mile 0.4, operation regulation from opening
``on signal, if at least one hour notice is given'' to opening ``on
signal, if at least 72 hours advance notice is given.'' The Coast Guard
did not receive any public submissions to the NPRM.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does
not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    This rule is not a significant regulatory action because it will
have little effect on the users of both the affected bridges and the
waterway. There are no marinas on the waterway and none are currently
planned. Vessel traffic has been minimal since 1990. Recreational
vessels that transit close to the shoreline, i.e. kayaks, canoes, and
other personal water craft can safely transit under these drawbridges
at any time. Vessels which require a vertical clearance greater than
four-feet at Mean High Water can schedule an opening.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. There
are no marinas on the waterway and none are currently planned. Vessel
traffic has been minimal since 1990. Recreational vessels that transit
close to the shoreline, i.e. Kayaks, canoes, and other personal water
craft can safely transit under these drawbridges at any time. Vessels
which require an opening can schedule one.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offered to assist small
entities in

understanding the rule so that they could better evaluate its effects
on them and participate in the rulemaking process.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 5100.1 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that there are no factors in this case that would limit the use of a
categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the Instruction.
Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (32)(e) of the Instruction, from further environmental
documentation.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cape May County Department of Public Works,
owner of the drawbridge, has requested on behalf of DelMosports, Inc. a
temporary deviation from the current operating schedule to accommodate
the ``Tri the Wildwoods Triathlon and 5K'' event.
    The existing drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.721. On the day of the event, the normal operating schedule for the
Grassy Sound Channel Bridge (Ocean Drive), at mile 1.0, at Middle
Township, NJ shall open on signal from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Two hours
advance notice is required for all other openings by calling (609) 368-
4591. The Grassy Sound Channel Bridge (Ocean Drive) across the Grassy
Sound has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 15 feet above
mean high water.
    Under this temporary deviation, the drawbridge will be allowed to
remain in the closed to navigation position from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. on
Saturday, August 16, 2014 to accommodate the ``Tri the Wildwoods
Triathlon and 5K'' event. The bridge will operate under its normal
operating schedule at all other times. Log books indicate there has
only been one opening request for this yearly event in 9 years and
waterway users are accustomed to the temporary closure.
    Vessels able to pass under the bridge in the closed position may do
so at any time and are advised to proceed with caution. The bridge will
be able to open for emergencies. The New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway
is an alternate route for vessels transiting this area and vessels may
pass before and after the closure. The Coast Guard will also

inform additional waterway users through our Local and Broadcast
Notices to Mariners of the closure periods for the bridge so that
vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any impacts caused by
the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: July 1, 2014.
