Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, for a copy

of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice

of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution

System, which describes the application

procedure.

Background

The FAA will be decommissioning

the Marquette VOR/DME and will be

commissioning the Gwinn VOR/DME.

As a result, five Federal airways will

have to be realigned from the Marquette

VOR/DME to the new Gwinn VOR/DME

(which is approximately 15 NM to the

southeast of the present location of the

Marquette VORTAC).

The Proposal

The FAA is proposing an amendment

to part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to realign

five Federal airways due to the

decommissioning of the Marquette

VOR/DME, and the installation of the

Gwinn VOR/DME. The Gwinn VOR/

DME will be located approximately 15

NM southeast of the present location of

the Marquette VORTAC. Specifically,

V–7, V–133, V–224, V–316, and V–341

would be realigned from the Marquette

VOR/DME to the Gwinn VOR/DME.

VOR Federal airways are published in

Section 6010(a), of FAA Order 7400.9G,

dated September 1, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The airways listed in this

document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. It, therefore—(1) Is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule, when

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Kills and Their Tributaries, NY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to

change the operating rules for six New

York City bridges; the Pulaski Bridge, at

mile 0.6, across Newtown Creek

between Brooklyn and Queens, the

Greenpoint Avenue Bridge, at mile 1.3,

across the Newtown Creek between

Brooklyn and Queens, the Grand Street/

Avenue Bridge, at mile 3.1, across

Newtown Creek (East Branch) between

Brooklyn and Queens, the Metropolitan

Avenue Bridge, at mile 3.4, across

English Kills at Brooklyn, the Borden

Avenue Bridge, at mile 1.2, across Dutch

Kills at Queens, and the Hunters Point

Avenue Bridge, at mile 1.4, across Dutch

Kills at Queens all in New York. The

bridge owner asked the Coast Guard to

change the regulations to require a twohour advance notice for openings. It is

expected to relieve the bridge owner

from the requirement to crew the

bridges at all times by using multiple

crews of drawtenders and still meet the

reasonable needs of navigation.

DATES: Comments must reach the Coast

Guard on or before June 23, 2000.

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments

and related material to Commander

(obr), First Coast Guard District, Bridge

Branch, at 408 Atlantic Avenue, Boston,

MA 02110–3350, or deliver them to the

same address between 7 a.m. and 3

p.m., Monday through Friday, except

Federal holidays. The telephone number

is (617) 223–8364. The First Coast

Guard District, Bridge Branch,

maintains the public docket for this

rulemaking. Comments and material

received from the public, as well as

documents indicated in this preamble as

being available in the docket, will

become part of this docket and will be

Public Meeting

We do not now plan to hold a public

meeting. But you may submit a request

for a meeting by writing to the First

Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, at

the address under ADDRESSES explaining

why one would be beneficial. If we

determine that one would aid this

rulemaking, we will hold one at a time

and place announced by a later notice

in the Federal Register.

Background and Purpose

Pulaski Bridge. The Pulaski Bridge, at

mile 0.6, across Newtown Creek

between Brooklyn and Queens has a

vertical clearance of 39 feet at mean

high water and 43 feet at mean low

water. The existing regulations require

the draw to open on signal at all times.

Greenpoint Avenue Bridge. The

Greenpoint Avenue Bridge, at mile 1.3,

across the Newtown Creek between

Brooklyn and Queens has a vertical

clearance of 26 feet at mean high water

and 31 feet at mean low water. The

existing regulations require the draw to

open on signal at all times.

Grand Street/Avenue Bridge. The

Grand Street/Avenue Bridge, at mile 3.1

across the Newtown Creek (East Branch)

between Brooklyn and Queens has a

vertical clearance of 8 feet above mean

high water and 12 feet at mean low

water. The existing operating rules for

the Grand Street/Avenue Bridge, listed

at 33 CFR 117.801(e), requires the bridge

to open on signal unless the drawtender

is at the Borden Avenue, Hunters Point

Avenue or Roosevelt Island Bridges. In

this event a notice to the New York City

Department of Transportation

(NYCDOT) Radio Hotline, or NYCDOT

Bridge Operations Office shall be given,

resulting in up to a one-hour delay.

Metropolitan Avenue Bridge. The

Metropolitan Avenue Bridge, at mile

3.4, across the English Kills at Brooklyn

has a vertical clearance of 10 feet above

mean high water and 15 feet above

mean low water. The existing operating

regulations require the draw to open on

signal at all times.

Borden Avenue Bridge. The Borden

Avenue Bridge, at mile 1.3, across the

Dutch Kills has a vertical clearance of 4

feet at mean high water and 9 feet at

mean low water. The existing

regulations in 33 CFR 117.801(c) require

the draw to open on signal if at least a

one-hour advance notice is given to the

drawtender at the Grand Street/Avenue

Bridge, the New York City Department

of Transportation Radio Hotline or

NYCDOT Bridge Operations Office. In

the event the drawtender is at the

Roosevelt Island Bridge or the Hunters

Point Avenue Bridge, up to an

additional half-hour delay may occur.

Hunters Point Avenue Bridge. The

Hunters Point Avenue Bridge, at mile

1.4, over the Dutch Kills has vertical

clearances of 8 feet at mean high water

and 13 feet at mean low water. The

existing regulations for the Hunters

Point Avenue Bridge in 33 CFR

117.801(d) require the draw to open on

signal if at least a one-hour advance

notice is given to the drawtender at the

Grand Street/Avenue Bridge, the

NYCDOT Radio Hotline, or NYCDOT

Bridge Operations Office. In the event

the drawtender is at the Roosevelt

Island Bridge or the Borden Avenue

Bridge, up to an additional half-hour

delay may occur.

The owner of all the bridges, the New

York City Department of Transportation

(NYCDOT), submitted bridge opening

log data to the Coast Guard for review.

The bridge owner plans to operate these

bridges with multiple crews of

drawtenders. The two-hour advance

notice should allow sufficient time for

the crews to operate these bridges due

to the close proximity of the bridges to

each other. Recent yearly openings have

been relatively low which will allow the

bridge owner to utilize the roving crew

concept and still meet the needs of

navigation.

The total number of bridge openings

at the above bridges from 1991 to 1999

are as follows:

1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999

Pulaski .............................................................................. 584 426 224 239 206 195 291 518 550

Grand ............................................................................... 419 549 224 254 239 189 37 86 91

Borden .............................................................................. 282 107 141 0 0 105 15 37 61

Hunters ............................................................................. 264 106 141 0 0 113 15 42 77

Metro ................................................................................ 301 356 225 310 272 407 432 588 688

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 79 / Monday, April 24, 2000 / Proposed Rules 21685

The monthly distribution of openings

for the above bridges were equally

balanced without any specific months

when opening requests were

significantly greater.

Discussion of Proposal

This proposal, if adopted will relieve

the bridge owner the burden of crewing

each bridge continually, and still meet

the reasonable needs of navigation. A

two-hour advance notice requirement

for bridge openings will enable the

bridge owner to utilize multiple crews

of drawtenders to open these bridges for

vessel traffic. The Coast Guard believes

the roving drawtender concept requiring

a two-hour advance notice is reasonable

and should meet the needs of navigation

based upon the low number of yearly

openings at the bridges, the close

proximity of the bridges, and the

scheduling of commercial vessel

transits. The bridges will still open on

signal at all times provided that the

advance notice is given. This proposed

rule is expected to relieve the bridge

owner of the burden of crewing each

bridge continually and still meet the

reasonable needs of navigation.

The Coast Guard proposes to change

the operating regulations for the Grand

Street/Avenue Bridge, Borden Avenue

Bridge, Hunters Point Bridge,

Metropolitan Bridge, Pulaski Bridge and

the Greenpoint Bridge, to require a twohour advance notice for openings at all

times.

Paragraph (a)(1) of 33 CFR 117.801 for

public and state vessels used for public

safety, will be removed because it is

now set out at 33 CFR 117.31 under the

general operating regulations for

bridges.

Regulatory Evaluation

This proposed rule is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866

and does not require an assessment of

potential costs and benefits under

6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of

Management and Budget has not

reviewed it under that Order. It is not

significant under the regulatory policies

and procedures of the Department of

Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040,

Feb. 26, 1979).

We expect the economic impact of

this proposed rule to be so minimal that

a full Regulatory Evaluation, under

paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies

and procedures of DOT, is unnecessary.

This conclusion is based on the fact that

the bridges will open for marine traffic

but will require mariners to provide a

two-hour notice.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we 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

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

section 5 U.S.C. 605(b), that this

proposed rule would not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

This conclusion is based upon the fact

that the bridges will still open on signal

after a two-hour notice is given.

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.

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

We have analyzed this proposed rule

under E.O. 13132 and have determined

that this rule does not have implications

for federalism under that Order.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) governs

the issuance of Federal regulations that

require unfunded mandates. An

unfunded mandate is a regulation that

requires a State, local, or tribal

government or the private sector to

incur direct costs without the Federal

Government’s having first provided the

funds to pay those costs. This proposed

rule would not impose an unfunded

mandate.

Taking of Private Property

This proposed rule would not effect a

taking of private property or otherwise

have taking implications under E.O.

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

E.O. 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to

minimize litigation, eliminate

ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

We have analyzed this proposed rule

under E.O. 13045, Protection of

Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not

an economically significant rule and

does not concern an environmental risk

to health or risk to safety that may

disproportionately affect children.

Environment

We considered the environmental

impact of this proposed rule and

concluded that, under figure 2–1,

paragraph (32)(e), of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1C, this proposed

rule is categorically excluded from

further environmental documentation

because promulgation of drawbridge

regulations have been found not to have

a significant effect on the environment.

A ‘‘Categorical Exclusion

Determination’’ is available in the

docket where indicated under

ADDRESSES.

Waterways Oversight Branch at the

address under ADDRESSES explaining

why one would be beneficial. If we

determine that one would aid this

rulemaking, we will hold one at a time

and place announced by a later notice

in the Federal Register.

Background and Purpose

The Borough of Staten Island has

submitted an Application for Approval

of a Marine Event for a fireworks

display on the Arthur Kill. This

proposed regulation establishes a

temporary safety zone in all waters of

the Arthur Kill, Ward Point Bend

(West), and the Raritan River Cutoff,

within a 300-yard radius of the

fireworks barge in approximate position

40°30′18′′ N 074°15′30′′ W (NAD 1983),

about 250 yards northwest of Raritan

Bay Channel Buoy 60 (LLNR 36319).

The proposed safety zone would be

effective from 8:15 p.m. (e.s.t.) until 9:45

p.m. (e.s.t.) on July 2, and September 2,

2000. If either event is cancelled due to

inclement weather, then this proposed

safety zone would be effective from 8:15

p.m. (e.s.t.) until 9:45 p.m. (e.s.t.) on

July 3, and September 3, 2000. The

proposed safety zone prevents vessels

from transiting a portion of the Arthur

Kill, Ward Point Bend (West), and the

Raritan River Cutoff for approximately

45 minutes of the 90 minute long event,

and is needed to protect boaters from

the hazards associated with fireworks

launched from a barge in the area.

Public notifications will be made prior

to the events via local notice to

mariners, and marine information

broadcasts.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

The proposed safety zone is for the

Borough of Staten Island Fireworks

displays held on the Arthur Kill. This

event will be held on Sunday, July 2,

and Saturday, September 2, 2000, from

8:15 p.m. (e.s.t.) until 9:45 p.m. (e.s.t.).

If either event is canceled due to

inclement weather, then the event will

be held on Monday, July 3, and Sunday,

September 3, 2000, from 8:15 p.m.

(e.s.t.) until 9:45 p.m. (e.s.t.). This rule

is being proposed to provide for the

safety of life on navigable waters during

the events and to give the marine

community the opportunity to comment

on this event.

The proposed size of this safety zone

was determined using National Fire
