§ 75.363 Hazardous conditions and 

violations of mandatory health or safety 

standards; posting, correcting, and 

recording. 

(a) Any hazardous condition found by 

the mine foreman or equivalent mine 

official, assistant mine foreman or 

equivalent mine official, or other 

certified persons designated by the 

operator for the purposes of conducting 

examinations under this subpart D, shall 

be posted with a conspicuous danger 

sign where anyone entering the areas 

would pass. A hazardous condition 

shall be corrected immediately or the 

area shall remain posted until the 

hazardous condition is corrected. If the 

condition creates an imminent danger, 

everyone except those persons referred 

to in section 104(c) of the Act shall be 

withdrawn from the area affected to a 

safe area until the hazardous condition 

is corrected. Only persons designated by 

the operator to correct or evaluate the 

condition may enter the posted area. 

Any violation of a mandatory health or 

safety standard found during a preshift 

examination, a supplemental 

examination, an on-shift examination, 

or a weekly examination shall be 

corrected. 

(b) A record shall be made of any 

hazardous condition and any violation 

of a mandatory health or safety standard 

found. This record shall be kept in a 

book maintained for this purpose on the 

surface at the mine. The record shall be 

made by the completion of the shift on 

which the hazardous condition or 

violation of a mandatory health or safety 

standard is found and shall include the 

nature and location of the hazardous 

condition or violation of the mandatory 

health or safety standard and the 

corrective action taken. This record 

shall not be required for shifts when no 

hazardous conditions or violations of 

mandatory health or safety standards are 

found, or for hazardous conditions and 

violations of mandatory health or safety 

standards found during the preshift or 

weekly examinations inasmuch as these 

examinations have separate 

recordkeeping requirements. 

* * * * * 

(e) Review of citations and orders. The 

mine operator shall review with mine 

examiners on a quarterly basis citations 

and orders issued in areas where 

preshift, supplemental, on-shift, and 

weekly examinations are required. 

6. The introductory text of paragraph 

(b) and paragraphs (d) and (h) of 

§ 75.364 are revised to read as follows: 

§ 75.364 Weekly examination. 

* * * * * 

(b) Hazardous conditions and 

violations of mandatory health or safety 

standards. At least every 7 days, an 

examination for hazardous conditions 

and violations of mandatory health or 

safety standards at the following 

locations shall be made by a certified 

person designated by the operator: 

* * * * * 

(d) Hazardous conditions shall be 

corrected immediately. If the condition 

creates an imminent danger, everyone 

except those persons referred to in 

section 104(c) of the Act shall be 

withdrawn from the area affected to a 

safe area until the hazardous condition 

is corrected. Any violation of a 

mandatory health or safety standard 

found during a weekly examination 

shall be corrected. 

* * * * * 

(h) Recordkeeping. At the completion 

of any shift during which a portion of 

a weekly examination is conducted, a 

record of the results of each weekly 

examination, including a record of 

hazardous conditions and violations of 

mandatory health or safety standards 

found during each examination and 

their locations, the corrective action 

taken, and the results and location of air 

and methane measurements, shall be 

made. The results of methane tests shall 

be recorded as the percentage of 

methane measured by the examiner. The 

record shall be made by the person 

making the examination or a person 

designated by the operator. If made by 

a person other than the examiner, the 

examiner shall verify the record by 

initials and date by or at the end of the 

shift for which the examination was 

made. The record shall be countersigned 

by the mine foreman or equivalent mine 

official by the end of the mine foreman’s 

or equivalent mine official’s next 

regularly scheduled working shift. The 

records required by this section shall be 

made in a secure book that is not 

susceptible to alteration or 

electronically in a computer system so 

as to be secure and not susceptible to 

alteration.

Basis and Purpose 

The drawbridge has been remotely 

operated for numerous years, but does 

not have explicit approval by the 

Commander, Ninth Coast Guard District, 

to be operated from a remote location. 

The Coast Guard has recently been 

informed that the drawbridge is 

routinely unresponsive to signals from 

vessels for bridge openings. The 

unreliability of the bridge for vessel 

traffic may have a direct effect on the 

development of business and commerce 

in the cities of Rainer and International 

Falls, Minnesota. In addition, the 

presence of government and public 

vessels operating between Rainey River 

and Rainey Lake have magnified the 

need for the drawbridge to be 

responsive and reliable for all vessel 

traffic so the Coast Guard will not 

currently consider remote operation. 

Rainey River and Rainey Lake serve as 

the border between the United States of 

America and Canada. This bridge is a 

single leaf bascule type railroad bridge 

that provides a horizontal clearance of 

125 feet. The water level on Rainey Lake 

and under the bridge is controlled by a 

hydro-electric dam facility at 

International Falls, Minnesota, thus 

charted datum is based on the water 

level surface of Rainey Lake when the 

gauge at Fort Frances, Canada reads 

1107.0 feet resulting in a variable 

vertical clearance of 6 to 10 feet in the 

closed position. The railroad bridge 

carries significant train traffic across the 

international border. Rainer is a customs 

port-of-entry. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

Between May 1 and October 15 each 

year, the proposed regulation would 

require the bridge to be manned by a 

drawtender and open on signal, 24 

hours a day, 7 days a week. Significant 

rail traffic may require the bridge to 

remain closed for periods, but shall be 

expected to be opened to vessel traffic 

within reasonable times, as needed, 

after rail traffic has passed. The bridge 

shall open on signal as soon as 

practicable for all Federal, State, local 

government vessels, commercial vessels, 

vessels seeking shelter from severe 

weather, and vessels in distress. The 

proposed regulation also establishes a 

permanent winter operating schedule by 

requiring vessels to provide at least 12 

hours’ advance notice for a bridge 

opening during winter, or during the 

traditional non-boating season, between 

October 16 and April 30 each year. 

Additionally, a clearance gauge would 

be required to indicate to vessels the 

water levels and clearance while the 

bridge is in the closed position. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed 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 proposed 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 

determination is expected to improve 

intermodal transportation at the bridge 

crossing and does not exclude either 

vessel or train traffic. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this proposed 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 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
81178 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

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. The proposed regulation is 

expected to increase availability of the 

drawbridge for vessel traffic and 

potentially increase access by, and to, 

small entities on the waterway. 

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. 

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 so that 

they can better evaluate its effects on 

them and participate in the rulemaking. 

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 Mr. Lee D. 

Soule, Bridge Management Specialist, 

U. S. Coast Guard; telephone 216–902– 

6085, e-mail lee.d.soule@uscg.mil, or fax 

216–902–6088. 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. 

Collection of Information 

This proposed rule would call 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 proposed 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 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this 

proposed 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 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. 

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. 

Protection of Children 

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. 

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. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this proposed 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 proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination 

that this action is one of a category of 

actions which do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment because it 

simply promulgates the operating 

regulations or procedures for 

drawbridges. 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 117

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Nebraska: 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration; 

Greenhouse Gas Permitting Authority 

and Tailoring Rule Revision 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Nebraska State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), which were 

recently submitted by the Nebraska 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(NDEQ). These revisions include 

proposed changes to Nebraska’s 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

(PSD) program, submitted by NDEQ to 

EPA on November 19, 2010; and 

proposed changes to Nebraska’s 

greenhouse gas (GHG) construction 

permit related regulations, submitted by 

NDEQ to EPA on October 19, 2010 (that 

NDEQ requested parallel processing for 

on September 30, 2010). The proposed 

SIP revision (Chapters 1, 2, 5, 14, 15, 17 

and 19 of Title 129 of the Nebraska 

Administrative Code) to Nebraska’s 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

(PSD) program includes Nebraska’s 

adoption of portions of EPA’s 2002 new 

source review (NSR) rule, which we call 

the NSR Reform Rule, and which we 

issued by notice dated December 31, 

2002, 67 FR 80186. The proposed SIP 

revision also provides the state of 

Nebraska with authority to regulate 

GHG emissions under the PSD program 

and incorporates the GHG emission 

thresholds established in EPA’s ‘‘PSD 

and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring 

Final Rule,’’ which EPA issued by notice 

dated June 3, 2010, 75 FR 31514. EPA 

is proposing approval of both submittals 

and is proposing approval of the GHG 

portion of the proposed SIP revision 

through a parallel processing action. In 

the alternative, EPA is soliciting 

comments from the public on whether 

it should initially only approve 

Nebraska’s October 19, 2010 submittal 

with respect to the revisions to the GHG 

construction permit regulations, and 

address Nebraska’s November 19, 2010 

submittal related to NSR Reform in a 

subsequent final action.
