33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2015-0423]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Rancocas Creek, Centerton, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing the regulation that governs the
operation of the SR#38 Bridge in Centerton (Burlington County Route
635) over Rancocas Creek, mile 7.8, at Mt. Laurel, Westampton and
Willingboro Townships in Burlington County, NJ. The new rule will
change the current regulation and allow the bridge to remain in the
closed position for the passage of vessels. There have been no requests
for openings since the early 1990's. This rule also reflects a name
change.

DATES: This rule is effective October 26, 2015.

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec.  Section Symbol
U.S.C. United States Code

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On July 6, 2015, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled, ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Rancocas Creek,
Centerton, NJ'' in the Federal Register (80 FR 38417). We received no
comments on the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested, and
none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The current operating schedule for the SR#38 bridge is set out in
33 CFR 117.745(b) which allows the SR#38 Bridge to operate as follows:
From April 1 through October 31 open on signal from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
From November 1 through March 31 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. open on signal
if at least 24 hours notice is given. Year round from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
need not open for the passage of vessels.
    The bridge owner, County of Burlington, NJ requested a change in
the operation regulation for the SR#38 Bridge, mile 7.8, across
Rancocas Creek in Mt. Laurel, NJ and that its name is changed to what
it is known locally. The County of Burlington provided information to
the Coast Guard about the lack of any openings of the draw spans dating
back to the early 1990's. The bridge is currently closed to navigation
and vehicular traffic due to emergency repairs and emergency
inspections since May 2015. The last requested opening was in the early
1990's as an emergency request. There have been monthly openings as per
maintenance requirements. The Coast Guard will allow the above
mentioned Bridge to remain in the closed to navigation position in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.39. In the closed to navigation position,
the bridge need not open for the passage of vessels.
    In the closed-to-navigation position, the SR#38 Bridge has vertical
clearances of six feet above mean high water. Vessels which can safely
transit under the bridge in the closed to navigation position can do so
at any time.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    In order to align the operating schedule of the SR#38 bridge with
observed marine traffic the proposed change amended the regulation by
adding a paragraph (c) to state ``that the bridge need not open.'' The
lack of requests for vessel openings of the drawbridge for over 20
years illustrates that the vessels that use this waterway can safely
navigate while the bridge is in the closed-to-navigation position. The
current regulation also incorrectly identifies the bridge as the SR#38
Bridge. The proposed change would change the name to the Centerton
County Route 635 Bridge. All language in existing paragraph (b) would
remain the same except for the removal of the SR#38 bridge reference.
    While the proposed rule allowed the bridge to remain closed to
navigation, it did not alleviate the bridge owner of his responsibility
under 33 CFR 117.7.
    The Coast Guard received no comments in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. As a result, no changes have been made to this
final rule.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This 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 Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders. Based on County of Burlington
bridge tender logs, there will not be any vessels impacted by this
proposed change. No bridge openings have been requested in over 20
years.

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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. This rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: owners and operators
of vessels intending to transit in that portion of Rancocas Creek that
cannot transit under the Centerton Bridge during mean high water. Due
to the fact that there have been no requests for openings in nearly 20
years, this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. 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.

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 final rule. If the rule affects 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.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain about this final rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. 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).

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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it 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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will 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 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

    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 does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

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

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 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 this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule simply promulgates the operating regulations or
procedures for drawbridges. This rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    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.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117

    Bridges.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends
33 CFR part 117 as follows:

PART 117--DRAWBRIDGE OPERATION REGULATIONS

C. How may I participate in this meeting?

    You may participate in this meeting by following the instructions
in this unit. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, it is imperative that
you identify docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0214 in the subject line
on the first page of your request.
    1. Written comments. Written comments should be submitted, using
the instructions in ADDRESSES and Unit I.B., on or before September 28,
2017, to provide FIFRA SAP the time necessary to consider and review
the written comments. FIFRA SAP may not be able to fully consider
written comments submitted after September 28, 2017.
    2. Oral comments. The Agency encourages each individual or group
wishing to make brief oral comments to FIFRA SAP to submit their
request to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or
before November 7, 2017, in order to be included on the meeting agenda.
Requests to present oral comments will be accepted until November 7,
2017 and, to the extent that time permits, the Chair of FIFRA SAP may
permit the presentation of oral comments at the meeting by interested
persons who have not previously requested time. Oral comments before
FIFRA SAP are limited to approximately 5 minutes unless arrangements
have been made prior to November 7, 2017. The request should identify
the name of the individual making the presentation, the organization
(if any) the individual will represent, and any requirements for
audiovisual equipment. In addition, each speaker should bring 15 copies
of his or her oral remarks and presentation slides (if required) for
distribution to FIFRA SAP at the meeting by the DFO.
    3. Seating at the meeting. Seating at the meeting will be open and
on a first-come basis.
    4. Request for nominations to serve as ad hoc expert members of
FIFRA SAP for this meeting. As part of a broader process for developing
a pool of candidates, both U.S. citizens and permanent residents who
can demonstrate that they are actively seeking U.S. citizenship will be
considered. For each meeting, FIFRA SAP staff routinely solicits from
the public nominations of prospective expert candidates for service as
ad hoc members of FIFRA SAP. Any interested person or organization may
nominate qualified individuals to be considered as prospective
candidates for a specific meeting. Individuals nominated for this
meeting should have expertise in one or more of the following areas:
Toxicology, physiology, biochemistry, endocrinology (clinical and
research), epidemiology, with an emphasis on androgens,
steroidogenesis, thyroid--particularly ways these endocrine systems can
be disrupted and the means to detect disruption. Expertise in the
development of computational models, high-throughput assays, as well as
biostatistics and performance-based validation, are also desired.
Nominees should be scientists who have sufficient professional
qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of
providing expert comments on the scientific issues for this meeting.
Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, address,
email address, and telephone number. Nominations should be provided to
the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or before July
21, 2017. The Agency will consider all nominations of prospective
candidates for this meeting that are received on or before that date.
However, final selection of ad hoc members for this meeting is a
discretionary function of the Agency.
    The selection of scientists to serve on FIFRA SAP is based on the
function of the Panel and the expertise needed to address the Agency's
charge to the Panel. No interested scientists shall be ineligible to
serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory committee to
a Federal department or agency or their employment by a Federal
department or agency, except EPA. Other factors considered during the
selection process include availability of the potential Panel member to
fully participate in the Panel's review, absence of any conflicts of
interest or appearance of lack of impartiality, independence with
respect to the matters under review, and lack of bias. Although
financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of lack of
impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in
disqualification, the absence of such concerns does not assure that a
candidate will be selected to serve on FIFRA SAP. Numerous qualified
candidates are identified for each Panel. Therefore, selection
decisions involve carefully weighing a number of factors including the
candidates' areas of expertise and professional qualifications and
achieving an overall balance of different scientific perspectives on
the Panel. In order to have the collective breadth of experience needed
to address the Agency's peer review charge for this meeting, the Agency
anticipates selecting approximately 10 ad hoc scientists.
    FIFRA SAP members are subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part
2634--Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, Qualified Trusts, and
Certificates of Divestiture, as supplemented by EPA in 5 CFR part 6401.
In anticipation of this requirement, prospective candidates for service
on FIFRA SAP will be asked to submit confidential financial information
which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the
candidate's employment, stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources
of research support. EPA will evaluate the candidate's financial
disclosure form to assess whether there are financial conflicts of
interest, appearance of a lack of impartiality, or any prior
involvement with the development of the documents under consideration
(including previous scientific peer review) before the candidate is
considered further for service on FIFRA SAP. Those who are selected
from the pool of prospective candidates will be asked to attend the
public meetings and to participate in the discussion of key issues and
assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be asked

to review and to help finalize the meeting minutes. The list of FIFRA
SAP members participating at this meeting will be posted on the FIFRA
SAP Web site at https://www.epa.gov/sap or may be obtained from the OPP
Docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

II. Background

A. Purpose of FIFRA SAP

    FIFRA SAP serves as the primary scientific peer review mechanism of
EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) and is
structured to provide scientific advice, information and
recommendations to the EPA Administrator on pesticides and pesticide-
related issues as to the impact of regulatory actions on health and the
environment. FIFRA SAP is a Federal advisory committee established in
1975 under FIFRA that operates in accordance with requirements of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix). FIFRA SAP is
composed of a permanent panel consisting of seven members who are
appointed by the EPA Administrator from nominees provided by the
National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. The
FIFRA SAP is assisted in their reviews by ad hoc participation from the
Science Review Board (SRB). As a scientific peer review mechanism,
FIFRA SAP provides comments, evaluations, and recommendations to
improve the effectiveness and quality of analyses made by Agency
scientists.

B. Public Meeting

    The United States EPA's Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program uses
appropriate validated test systems and other scientifically-relevant
information to screen and test for endocrine disrupting chemicals.
Since the issuance of the Federal Register Notice (entitled, ``Use of
High Throughput Assays and Computational Tools; Endocrine Disruptor
Screening Program; Notice of Availability and Opportunity for
Comment'') on June 19, 2015 (FRL-9928-69), EPA has continued the
development of high throughput assays and computational tools for both
the detection of the potential to disrupt the endocrine system, as well
as to estimate levels of exposure. The focus of this meeting is the
SAP's review and comment on the Agency's proposed high-throughput
computational model of androgen receptor pathway activity as an
alternative to the current Tier 1 androgen receptor assay (OCSPP
890.1150: Androgen Receptor Binding Rat Prostate Cytosol).
Additionally, the SAP will assess the Agency's progress in the
development of a high-throughput model of steroidogenesis to be used as
an alternative to the current Tier 1 steroidogenesis assay (OCSPP
890.1550: Steroidogenesis Human Cell Line--H295R); and proposed adverse
outcome pathway-based framework for screening chemicals for potential
thyroid disruption. The use of these methods will accelerate the pace
of screening, reduce animal testing, and significantly decrease costs
associated with screening.

C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting Minutes

    EPA's background paper, charge/questions to FIFRA SAP, and related
supporting materials will be available on or before August 14, 2017. In
addition, a list of candidates under consideration as prospective ad
hoc panelists for this meeting will be available for public comment by
August 22, 2017 (see link for listing of nominees to appear on August
4, 2017 at: https://www.epa.gov/sap). Comments should be provided to
the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or before
September 6, 2017). Your comments will be placed in the public docket
by the DFO. You may obtain electronic copies of most meeting documents,
including FIFRA SAP composition (i.e., members and ad hoc members for
this meeting) and the meeting agenda, at http://www.regulations.gov and
the FIFRA SAP Web site at https://www.epa.gov/sap.
    FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting minutes summarizing its
recommendations to the Agency approximately 90 days after the meeting.
The meeting minutes will be posted on the FIFRA SAP Web site or may be
obtained from the OPP Docket at http://www.regulations.gov.
