RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Witt-Penn Bridge Construction, Hackensack River;
Jersey City, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a safety zone on the
navigable waters of the Hackensack River surrounding the Witt-Penn
Bridge between Jersey City and Kearny, NJ. In response to a planned
Witt-Penn Bridge construction project, this rule would allow the Coast
Guard to prohibit all vessel traffic through the safety zone during
bridge replacement operations, both planned and unforeseen, that could

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard issued a Bridge Permit dated April 7, 2011
approving the location and construction of the Witt-Penn Bridge across
the Hackensack River, mile 3.1, between Kearny and Jersey City, NJ. The
Coast Guard published a Solicitation of Comments from NJ DOT in the
First Coast Guard

District Local Notice to Mariners #16 (April 23, 2014), #17 (April 30,
2014), #18 (May 7, 2014), #19 (May 14, 2014, and #20 (May 21, 2014).
This solicitation requested comments regarding impacts to navigation
from the following proposed tentative channel closures/restrictions:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   Channel closure/     Description of
        Approximate dates             obstruction            work

                                   closures during     Lift operations
                                   this timeline.      on 40 separate
                                                       days.

                                   ft Vertical         Operating
                                   Clearance.          Systems.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The contractor's barges will be moved completely out of the channel
after work hours during the 40, one-day full channel closures. Closures
will not be on consecutive days.
    The full channel closure dates are an estimate. The contractor's
barges would block the entire Federal channel preventing any vessels
from transiting upstream or downstream.
    The channel restriction is based on the lift span not operating,
but the channel will remain available for vessel transits with an air
draft under 70 ft.
    Due to project delays construction at the bridge site has been
delayed until October 5, 2015 and the tentative channel closure/
restriction dates have been revised to:

                                   Clearance.          Systems.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, channel closure requests are expected when the
existing Witt-Penn Bridge is demolished. This is tentatively scheduled
to take place between approximately July 2017 and December 31, 2021.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to
define regulatory safety zones.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and workers from hazards associated with construction on the Witt-Penn
Bridge.

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The proposed rule will give the COTP authority to prohibit vessel
traffic on this portion of the Hackensack River, when necessary, for
the safety of vessels and workers during construction work in the
channel. The Coast Guard will close the designated area to all traffic
during any circumstance, planned or unforeseen, that poses an imminent
threat to waterway users or construction operations in the area.
Complete waterway closures will be minimized to that period absolutely
necessary and made with as much advanced notice as possible. During
closures there will not be enough space for mariners to transit through
the safety zone between the construction vessels and the current bridge
piers.
    The COTP would notify the public of the enforcement of this safety
zone by marine broadcasts or local notice to mariners. Such
notifications would include the date and times of enforcement, along
with any pre-determined conditions of entry.
    A navigation safety situation created by construction of the new
Witt-Penn Bridge and removal of the current Witt-Penn Bridge prompted
the proposed rule. This bridge carries Route 7 over the Hackensack
River. The existing Witt-Penn Bridge was built in 1930, has been
declared functionally obsolete by the Federal Highway Administration.
NJ DOT has hired China Construction America Civil, Inc. to construct a
new fixed bridge approximately 200 feet upstream of the existing bridge
and remove the existing movable, vertical lift bridge. This new bridge
will provide a minimum vertical clearance of 70-feet above Mean High
Water in the closed position as compared to 35-feet for the existing
lift bridge. The new bridge will provide the same 158 foot horizontal
clearance. Construction is scheduled to begin mid to late 2015.
Scheduled completion of the new bridge and removal of the old bridge is
2021.
    The Coast Guard has discussed this project with NJ DOT to determine
whether the project can be completed without channel closures and, if
possible, what impact that would have on the project timeline. Through
these discussions, it became clear that while the majority of
construction activities during the span of this project would not
require waterway closures, there are certain tasks that can only be
completed in the channel and will require closing the waterway.

E. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal as this proposed safety zone will be limited to the
Hackensack River area, closures will be of a limited duration, and
waterway users have already been notified of the proposed closures
through the Local Notice to Mariners.
    Advanced public notifications would also be made to local mariners
through appropriate means, which may include but are not limited to
marine broadcasts or Local Notice to Mariners which

would allow the public an opportunity to plan for these closures.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This safety zone would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons.
Waterway closures will be of a limited duration, and waterway users
have already been notified of the proposed closures through the Local
Notice to Mariners. Public notifications would also be made to local
mariners through appropriate means, which may include but are not
limited to marine broadcasts or Local Notice to Mariners which would
allow the public an opportunity to plan for these closures.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520.).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. 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 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed 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.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed 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.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
involves the establishment of a safety zone which may be categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination will be available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may
lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this
proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, and Waterways.
