reasonably segregated and released to

the FOIA requester.

(d) Withholding Agency records from

public release. If the requested record is

not releasable because it is either

currently and properly classified or falls

within another FOIA exemption, GC

prepares an analysis on the rationale for

denying the record, prepares the initial

denial letter to be sent to the FOIA

requester, and forwards the materials to

the Agency IDA. The Agency IDA

reviews the FOIA request and rationale

for withholding the record and, if he or

she concurs, signs the letter prepared by

GC. The letter signed by the Agency IDA

advises the FOIA requester that the

records requested are being withheld

from release, states the amount of

material withheld from release, states

the FOIA exemptions supporting the

denial, and provides information on

appealing the decision to the Agency

AA. A copy of all initial denial letters

is forwarded to GC and maintained in

the individual FOIA file.

(e) Appeal rights of FOIA requesters.

(1) If a FOIA requester appeal the

initial denial decision of the agency

IDA, GC processes the appeal for review

by the agency AA. The AA reviews the

initial FOIA request, GC’s analysis, and

the denial decision made by the IDA.

The AA has the authority to either

uphold the decision made by the IDA,

and withhold the requested records

from release, or reverse the decision

made by the IDA and release all or a

portion of the records requested. GC

prepares the written response to the

FOIA requester for the AA’s signature.

If the AA makes a final determination to

uphold the decision made by the agency

IDA, the final Agency response includes

the basis for the decision and advises

the FOIA requester of the right to seek

judicial review.

(2) In addition to denials of

information, a FOIA requester also has

a right to appeal initial assessments

made by GC regarding fee categories, fee

waivers, fee estimates, requests for

expedited processing, no record

determinations, failure to meet the

statutory time limits, or any

determination found to be adverse by

the requester. The authority to uphold

or reverse initial assessments made by

GC in these areas is the agency AA. The

decision of the AA is final.

(f) Relationship between the FOIA and

the Privacy Act. Not all requesters will

be knowledgeable of the appropriate act

to cite when requesting records or

access to records. In some instances,

either the FOIA or the Privacy Act may

be cited.

(1) Both the FOIA and the Privacy Act

give the right to request access to

records held by Federal Agencies.

Access rights under the FOIA are given

to any individual, business, or

organization, but the Privacy Act gives

access rights only to those individuals

who are the subject of the records being

requested.

(2) When responding to a request for

records under the Privacy Act, detailed

guidance on which act to apply may be

found in 32 CFR part 286 and 32 CFR

part 310. Additional assistance is also

available from GC.

RIN 2115–AE47

Drawbridge Operation Regulations:

Acushnet River, Annisqualm River,

Fore River and Taunton River, MA.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing

the drawbridge operation regulations

governing four bridges: the New Bedford

Fairhaven (SR6) Bridge, mile 0.0, across

the Acushnet River between New

Bedford and Fairhaven; the Blynman

(SR127) Bridge, mile 0.0, across the

Annisqualm River at Gloucester; the

Quincy Weymouth (SR3A) Bridge, mile

3.5, across the Fore River between

Quincy and Weymouth; and the

Brightman Street Bridge, mile 1.8,

across the Taunton River between

Somerset and Fall River, all in

Massachusetts. This rule will require

these bridges to open on signal if at least

a two-hour notice is given from 6 p.m.

on December 24 to midnight on

December 25 and from 6 p.m. on

December 31 to midnight on January 1.

A two-hour advance notice for bridge

openings is expected to relieve the

bridge owner from crewing these

bridges during the holidays and still

meet the needs of navigation.

DATES: This rule is effective November

10, 2000, unless a written adverse

comment, or written notice of intent to

submit an adverse comment, reaches the

Coast Guard on or before September 10,

2000. If an adverse comment, or notice

of intent to submit an adverse comment,

is received, the Coast Guard will

withdraw this direct final rule and

publish a timely notice of withdrawal in

the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments

and related material to the Commander

(obr), First Coast Guard District, 408

Atlantic Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts

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 available for inspection or

copying at the First Coast Guard District

Bridge Branch Office between 7 a.m.

and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday,

except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

John W. McDonald, Project Officer, First

Coast Guard District, (617) 223–8364.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments

We encourage you to participate in

this rulemaking by submitting

comments or related material. If you do

so, please include your name and

address, identify the docket number for

this rulemaking (CGD01–00–135),

indicate the specific section of this

document to which each comment

applies, and give the reason for each

comment. Please submit all comments

and related material in an unbound

format, no larger than 8 1⁄2 by 11 inches,

suitable for copying. If you would like

to know if they reached us, please

enclose a stamped, self-addressed

postcard or envelope. We will consider

all comments and material received

during the comment period. We may

change this rule in view of them.

Regulatory Information

The Coast Guard is publishing a direct

final rule, the procedures of which are

outlined in 33 CFR 1.05–55, because no

adverse comment is anticipated. If no

adverse comment or written notice of

intent to submit an adverse comment is

received within the specified comment

period, this rule will become effective as

stated in the DATES section. In that case,

approximately 30 days before the

effective date, the Coast Guard will

publish a document in the Federal

Register stating that no adverse

comment was received and confirming

that this rule will become effective as

scheduled. However, if the Coast Guard

receives a written adverse comment or

written notice of intent to submit an

adverse comment, the Coast Guard will

publish a document in the Federal

Register announcing withdrawal of all

or part of this direct final rule. If an

adverse comment only applies to only

part of this rule and it is possible to

remove that part without defeating the

purpose of this rule, the Coast Guard
