§ 363.141 How do I purchase a zeropercent certificate of indebtedness? 

(a) Primary and linked accounts. You 

may purchase a zero-percent certificate 

of indebtedness through one or more of 

the following four methods: (1) Payroll deduction, in which your 

employer sends funds through the ACH 

method to your TreasuryDirect®

account; 

(2) deposit by your financial 

institution, in which your financial 

institution sends funds by the ACH 

method to your TreasuryDirect® account 

on a recurring or one-time basis; (3) through the Buy Direct function of 

your TreasuryDirect® account, in which 

you direct us to debit funds from your 

financial institution account to purchase 

a zero-percent certificate of 

indebtedness. This method is limited to 

an amount no greater than $1000 per 

transaction. When you use the Buy 

Direct function to debit funds to 

purchase all or a portion of a zeropercent certificate of indebtedness, you 

will not be permitted to schedule a 

redemption to your financial institution 

from the zero-percent certificate of 

indebtedness within five business days 

after the settlement date of the debit 

entry; and (4) by using the proceeds from the 

redemption of a savings bond, the 

proceeds of a maturing security, or an 

interest payment from a security to 

purchase a zero-percent certificate of 

indebtedness. 

(b) Payroll savings plan. You may 

purchase a payroll zero-percent 

certificate of indebtedness for your 

payroll savings plan through payroll 

deduction, in which your employer 

sends funds through the ACH method to 

your TreasuryDirect® payroll savings 

plan, or through a credit using the ACH 

method by your financial institution, in 

which your financial institution sends 

funds by the ACH method to your 

TreasuryDirect® payroll savings plan. 

■ 17. Amend the heading of the newly 

redesignated § 363.144 by removing the 

phrase ‘‘for cash.’’ 

■ 19. Add an undesignated center 

heading after the newly redesignated 

§ 363.145, to read as follows: 

PAYROLL ZERO-PERCENT 

CERTIFICATE OF INDEBTEDNESS 

■ 20. Add §§ 363.146 through 363.148, 

to read as follows: 

§ 363.146 Who may purchase a payroll 

zero-percent certificate of indebtedness? 

Only an individual TreasuryDirect®

account owner may purchase a payroll 

zero-percent certificate of indebtedness, 

only through his or her primary 

account, and only through the payroll 

savings plan. 

§ 363.147 How do I purchase a payroll 

zero-percent certificate of indebtedness? 

You may purchase a payroll zeropercent certificate of indebtedness 

through your TreasuryDirect® account 

using your payroll savings plan. (See 

§§ 363.59 and 363.60 for more 

information on opening a payroll 

savings plan.) The only method of 

purchase for a payroll zero-percent 

certificate of indebtedness is a credit of 

funds from your employer or financial 

institution using the ACH method. You 

cannot purchase a payroll zero-percent 

certificate of indebtedness by using a 

debit from your financial institution. 

§ 363.148 Can I redeem all or a portion of 

my accumulated payroll zero-percent 

certificate of indebtedness? 

You may redeem all or a portion of 

your accumulated payroll zero-percent 

certificate of indebtedness to any 

financial institution that is of record in 

your TreasuryDirect® account.

Coast Guard 

33 CFR Part 117 

[Docket No. USCG–2010–1039] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Upper Mississippi River, Dubuque, IA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eighth 

Coast Guard District, has issued a 

temporary deviation from the regulation 

governing the operation of the Illinois 

Central Railroad Drawbridge across the 

Upper Mississippi River, mile 579.9, at 

Dubuque, Iowa. The deviation is 

necessary to allow the bridge owner 

time to perform preventive maintenance 

that is essential to the continued safe 

operation of the drawbridge. 

Maintenance is scheduled in the winter 

and when there is less impact on 

navigation; instead of scheduling work 

in the summer, when river traffic 

increases. This deviation allows the 

bridge to open on signal if at least 24 

hours advance notice is given. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

12:01 a.m., December 13, 2010 to 7 a.m. 

March 1, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in 

this preamble as being available in the 

docket are part of docket USCG–2010– 

1039 and are available online by going 

to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting 

USCG–2010–1039 in the ‘‘Keyword’’ box 

and then clicking ‘‘Search’’. They are 

also available for inspection or copying 

at the Docket Management Facility (M– 

30), U.S. Department of Transportation, 

West Building Ground Floor, Room 

W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., 

Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Chicago, Central & Pacific Railroad 

requested a temporary deviation for the 

Illinois Central Railroad Drawbridge, 

across the Upper Mississippi River, mile 

579.9, at Dubuque, Iowa to open on 

signal if at least 24 hours advance notice 

is given for 79 days from 12:01 a.m., 

December 13, 2010 to 7 a.m., March 1, 

2011 to allow the bridge owner time for 

preventive maintenance. The Illinois 

Central Railroad Drawbridge currently 

operates in accordance with 33 CFR 

117.5, which states the general 

requirement that drawbridges shall open 

promptly and fully for the passage of 

vessels when a request to open is given 

in accordance with the subpart. 

There are no alternate routes for 

vessels transiting this section of the 

Upper Mississippi River. 

Winter conditions on the Upper 

Mississippi River coupled with the 

closure of Army Corps of Engineer’s 

Lock No. 20 (Mile 343.2 UMR), Lock No. 

21 (Mile 324.9 UMR) and Lock No. 22 

(Mile 301.2 UMR) until 4:30 p.m., 

March 4, 2011 will preclude any 

significant navigation demands for the 

drawspan opening. 

The Illinois Central Railroad 

Drawbridge, in the closed-to-navigation 

position, provides a vertical clearance of 

19.9 feet above normal pool. Navigation 

on the waterway consists primarily of 

commercial tows and recreational 

watercraft. The drawbridge will open if 

at least 24 hours advance notice is 

given. This temporary deviation has 

been coordinated with waterway users. 

No objections were received. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
70818 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

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: November 10, 2010.

Bridge Administrator.

RIN 1625–AA48 

Traffic Separation Schemes: In the 

Strait of Juan de Fuca and Its 

Approaches; in Puget Sound and Its 

Approaches; and in Haro Strait, 

Boundary Pass, and the Strait of 

Georgia 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Interim rule with request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In this interim rule with 

request for comments, the Coast Guard 

codifies traffic separation schemes in 

the Strait of Juan de Fuca and its 

approaches, in Puget Sound and its 

approaches, and in Haro Strait, 

Boundary Pass, and the Strait of 

Georgia. These traffic separation 

schemes (TSSs) were validated by a Port 

Access Route Study (PARS) conducted 

under the Ports and Waterways Safety 

Act (PWSA), 33 U.S.C. 1221–1232 and 

were adopted by the International 

Maritime Organization (IMO). They 

have been shown on National Oceanic 

and Atmospheric Administration 

(NOAA) charts since 2006, and are 

currently documented in the IMO 

publication ‘‘Ships’ Routeing,’’ Ninth 

Edition, 2008. 

Codifying these internationally 

recognized traffic separation schemes 

provides better routing order and 

predictability, increases maritime safety, 

and reduces the potential for collisions, 

groundings, and hazardous cargo spills. 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

interim rule with a request for 

comments to permit the public to 

comment on changes made to some 

geographic positions located in Haro 

Strait, Boundary Pass, and the Strait of 

Georgia that were made after the notice 

of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). 

DATES: This interim rule is effective 

January 18, 2011. 

Comments and related material must 

be received by the Coast Guard on or 

before January 3, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2002–12702 using any one of the 

following methods:
