[CGD13–06–048] 

RIN 1625–AA09 

Drawbridge Operation Regulations; 

Youngs Bay and Lewis and Clark 

River, OR 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing 

the operating regulations for the New 

Youngs Bay, Old Youngs Bay, and the 

Lewis and Clark River Drawbridges near 

Astoria, Oregon. This change was 

requested by the Oregon Department of 

Transportation (ODOT), owner of the 

bridges, due to reduced demand for 

draw openings. This final rule reduces 

the period when a one-half hour notice 

is required for openings and also 

reduces the four-hour notice required at 

all other times to two hours. 

DATES: This rule is effective April 2, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and material 

received from the public, as well as 

documents indicated in this preamble as 

being available in the docket, are part of 

the docket (CGD13–06–048) and are 

available for inspection or copying at 

Commander (dpw), 13th Coast Guard 

District, 915 Second Avenue, Seattle, 

WA 98174–1067 between 7:30 a.m. and 

4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Austin Pratt, Chief Bridge Section, (206)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

On October 27, 2006, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation 

Regulations; Youngs Bay and Lewis and 

Clark River, Astoria, Oregon’’ in the 

Federal Register (71 FR 62955). We 

received no comments on the proposed 

rule. No public meeting was requested 

and none was held. 

Background and Purpose 

The operating regulations currently in 

effect for the New Youngs Bay, Old 

Youngs Bay, and the Lewis and Clark 

River Drawbridges near Astoria, Oregon 

at 33 Code of Federal Regulations 

117.89 provide that the spans need not 

open for the passage of vessels from 6 

a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday 

and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 

Sunday unless at least one half-hour 

notice is given. At all other times at 

least four hours notice must be given. 

This rule allows the bridge owner to 

reduce the shifts for staffing the 

drawbridges by reducing the period, 

Monday through Friday, where one-half 

hour notice is required for an opening. 

Additionally, the four-hour notice at 

most other times is also reduced to two 

hours. Weekend periods with half-hour 

notice required remain unchanged. 

Discussion of Comments and Changes 

The Coast Guard received no 

responses to the Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking and no changes are made in 

this final rule from that notice. 

Regulatory Evaluation 

This 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. The single commercial boat yard, 

which is the destination for most vessels 

that pass through the bridges, has 

indicated that they can tolerate the 

changes. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

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

whether this 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 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. We 

expect few vessel operators will be 

inconvenienced by the new operating 

schedule as it is quite similar to 

operating regulations that have been in 

effect without complaint for several 

years. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

we offered to assist small entities in 

understanding this proposed rule so that 

they can better evaluate its effects on 

them and participate in the rulemaking. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agricultural 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–

888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The 

Coast Guard will not retaliate against 

small entities that question or complain 

about this rule or any policy or action 

of the Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This rule calls 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 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 or more in any one year. 

Though this 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 rule will not affect a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights.
