Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Pocomoke River, Pocomoke City,
MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District, has issued a
temporary deviation from the regulations governing the operation of the
Route 675 Bridge across Pocomoke River, mile 15.6, at Pocomoke City,
MD. The deviation restricts the operation of the draw span to
facilitate an electrical outage for testing purposes.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7 a.m. on January 19, 2012 to 5
p.m. on January 20, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2011-1119 and are available online
by going to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2011-1119 in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An engineering consulting firm on behalf of
the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA), who owns and operates
this single leaf bascule drawbridge, has requested a temporary
deviation from the current operating schedule to allow for an
electrical

outage of the bridge for testing purposes. Under the regular operating
schedule required by 33 CFR 117.569(b), the bridge opens on signal,
except between November 1 and March 31 the draw must open only if at
least five hours advance notice is given.
    The Route 675 Bridge across Pocomoke River, mile 15.6 at Pocomoke
City, MD, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of three feet
above mean high water. Under this temporary deviation, the engineering
consulting firm has requested to maintain the bridge in the closed
position to vessels beginning at 7 a.m. on January 19, 2012 until and
including 5 p.m. on January 20, 2012, to allow for an electrical outage
of the bridge for testing purposes.
    Bridge opening data supplied by SHA and reviewed by the Coast Guard
revealed that there were approximately five openings in January 2011.
    The Coast Guard has coordinated the restrictions with the local
users of the waterway and will inform other 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 impact caused
by the temporary deviation. There are no alternate routes for vessels
transiting this section of the Pocomoke River and the drawbridge will
be not able to open in the event of an emergency.
    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: December 14, 2011.
Waverly W. Gregory, Jr.,
Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard District.

    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the health
effects associated with swimming exposure at beach sites designated as
recreational areas. This study will be conducted, and the information
collected, by the Epidemiology and Biomarkers Branch, Human Studies
Division, National Health and Environmental Effects Research
Laboratory, Office of Research and Development (ORD), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Participation of adults and
children in this collection of information is strictly voluntary. The
identity of all participants is considered strictly confidential; thus,
all data collected are stored without identifiers. This information is
being collected as part of a research program consistent with the
Section 3(a)(v)(1) of the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal
Health Act of 2000 and the strategic plan for EPA's Office of Research
and Development and the Office of Water entitled ``Action Plan for
Beaches and Recreational Water'' available at http://www.epa.gov/ord/
htm/documents/600r98079.pdf. The Beaches Act and ORD's strategic plan
has identified research on effects of microbial pathogens in
recreational waters as a high-priority research area with particular
emphasis on developing new water quality indicator guidelines for
recreational waters. The EPA has broad legislative authority to
establish water quality criteria and to conduct research to support
these criteria. This

data collection is for a series of epidemiological studies to evaluate
exposure to and effects of microbial pathogens in marine and fresh
recreational waters as part of the EPA's research program on exposure
and health effects of microbial pathogens in recreational waters.
Health effects data collection was previously conducted in a pilot
study, four freshwater coastal sites, and three marine sites under OMB
number 2080-0068. The results will be used to help inform the
development of new national water quality and monitoring guidelines.
The questionnaire health data will be compared with routinely collected
water quality measurements. The analysis will focus on determining
whether any water quality parameters are associated with increased
prevalence of swimming-related health effects.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.25
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The annual public reporting and record keeping burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average about fifteen minutes
per response. If a single household participant completes all three
interviews of the data collection, a total 45 minutes is used.
    The interview process consists of three interviews; Two Beach
Interviews & one Telephone Follow-up: Based on consultation with the
individuals listed in Section 3(c) of the ICR, and our experience with
similar types of information collection, we estimate that each family
will spend an average of 30 minutes completing the beach interview and
will require no record keeping. This includes the time for reviewing
the information pamphlet and answering the questions. We estimate that
each family spends an average of 15 minutes completing the home
telephone interview. The telephone interviews will require no record
keeping.
    All human health data collection will be recorded utilizing
computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI). The telephone interview
incorporates the same concept of direct data collection in a desk
personal computer (PC) setting. The tablet notebooks and desk PCs are
used by interviewers to collect human health data. Screens on these
tablets and PCs only display current activated questions. All human
health data is stored in secured locations to maintain confidentiality.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Individuals frequenting fresh and
marine water beaches in the United States and territories.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 21,000.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,750.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $236,250. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $0 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 10,500 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in
the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is required to provide
the science necessary to help inform the development of new public
health standards for recreational water.

Safety Zone; Fourth of July Fireworks Patriots Point, Charleston,
SC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary safety zone
for certain navigable waters of Cooper River at Patriot's Point in
Charleston, SC. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of
the general public, spectators, vessels, and the marine environment
from potential hazards during a fireworks display. This proposed
rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering, transiting
through, anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston (COTP) or a designated
representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before June 21, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0145 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant Justin Heck, Sector

U.S.C. United States Code
COTP Captain of the Port

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On February 9, 2018, the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum
notified the Coast Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display
from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on July 4, 2018. The fireworks are to be
launched from a barge along the bank of the Cooper River at Patriots
Point in Charleston, SC. Hazards from firework displays include
accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling
hot embers or other debris. The Captain of the Port Charleston (COTP)
has determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks to
be used in this display would be a safety concern for anyone within a
500-yard radius of the barge.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within a 500-yard radius of the fireworks
barge before, during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard
proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to establish a safety zone from 8:15 p.m. to 9:45
p.m. on July 4, 2018. The safety zone would cover all navigable waters
within 500-yards of the fireworks barge located at Patriots Point on
the Cooper River in Charleston, SC. The duration of the zone is
intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
fireworks display. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative. The
Coast Guard would provide notice of the safety zone by local notice to
mariners, broadcast notice to mariners, and on-scene designated
representatives. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the
end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. The safety zone
will only be enforced for a total of an hour and a half, and although
persons and vessels may not enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the safety zone without authorization from the Captain of
the Port Charleston or a designated representative, vessel traffic
would be able to safely operate in the surrounding area during the
enforcement period and the rule would allow vessels to seek permission
to enter the zone. Moreover, the Coast Guard would provide advance
notification of the safety zone to the local maritime community by
local notice to mariners and broadcast notice to mariners via VHF-FM
marine channel 16.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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 would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    We have considered the impact of this proposed rule on small
entities. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owner or operators of vessels intending to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
during the enforcement period. For the reasons stated in section IV.A.
above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities.
    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.
    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
section. 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.

C. Collection of Information

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

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. 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.

F. 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 (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 a safety
zone lasting an hour and a half that would prohibit entry within 500
yards of a barge from which fireworks would be launched. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
L 60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01,
Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting
this determination is 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.

G. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2019-43, dated November
8, 2019 (``AD CF-2019-43'') (also referred to as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10
airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at
https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2020-0458.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier,
Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on June 3, 2020 (85 FR 34141). The NPRM was prompted by a
report that corrosion was found on the shock strut cylinders during
unscheduled maintenance of the NLG. The NPRM proposed to require a
modification of the NLG shock strut cylinder. The FAA is issuing this
AD to address corrosion of the NLG, which could result in structural
failure of the NLG. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comment received
on the NPRM and the FAA's response to that comment.

Request To Revise Certain Compliance Language in the Proposed AD

    Flexjet stated that where the compliance section of Bombardier
Service Bulletin 100-32-33, Revision 02, dated September 30, 2019, and
Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of the proposed AD, specify the compliance
time for NLG assemblies with more than 96 months time since new (TSN),
the compliance time does not take into account that the NLG cylinders
with part number (P/N) 40640-3 and P/N 40640-5 serialized (next higher
assembly P/N 40640-105 and subcomponents) are life-limited items with a
7,500 flight cycle discard interval. Flexjet commented that during the
first 96 month inspection, if the operator has high flight cycles, it
may elect to replace the cylinder at that time. Flexjet also commented
that the compliance section of Bombardier Service Bulletin 100-32-33,
Revision 02, dated September 30, 2019, does not take into account that
a new cylinder could be installed at the 96-month inspection and it
also does not address if the cylinder was replaced for another reason
after the 96-month inspection.
    Flexjet stated that the proposed AD needs to be specific on
applying to the nose gear cylinder and sleeve part numbers and not the
nose gear or nose gear strut assembly part numbers. Flexjet also stated
that the nose gear cylinder and sleeve are the parts with corrosion and
the primary reason for the service information. Flexjet pointed out
that the sleeve is cut off for inspection of the cylinder and the same
part number sleeve goes back on following the inspection. The FAA
infers that Flexjet was requesting that the language in paragraphs
(g)(1) and (2) of this AD specify that the actions apply to airplanes
with NLG assemblies having NLG cylinder assemblies and sleeves with
certain part numbers.
    The FAA disagrees with the comment. While NLG cylinder assemblies
and their subcomponents can be replaced before or after the 96-month
interval inspection, paragraphs 2.B. and 2.C. of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 100-32-33, Revision 02,
dated September 30, 2019, ensure the proper corrective actions are
taken to prevent corrosion with those replaced components when
reassembled on the NLG assembly. This is why the identification on the
NLG assembly modplate is required. In addition, paragraph (f) of this
AD specifies to, ``Comply with this AD within the compliance times
specified, unless already done.'' Therefore, if some of the specified
corrective actions are already

complied with, only the remaining corrective actions in the AD need to
be completed to comply with this AD. The FAA has not changed this AD in
this regard.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor
editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 100-32-33, Revision 02,
dated September 30, 2019; and Service Bulletin 350-32-009, Revision 02,
dated September 30, 2019. This service information describes procedures
for modification of the NLG shock strut cylinder. These documents are
distinct since they apply to different airplane serial numbers. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 560 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Labor cost                 Parts cost       Cost per product           Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 54 work-hours x $85 per hour =         $43,999  Up to $48,589.........  Up to $27,209,840
 Up to $4,590.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
