32 CFR Part 538 

[Docket ID: USA–2018–HQ–0007] 

RIN 0702–AA91 

Military Payment Certificates 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD’s 

regulation concerning Military Payment 

Certificates (MPC) which are no longer 

used by the Federal Government nor 

DoD based on U.S. Treasury guidance 

and use of Smart Card technology. 

MPC’s were discontinued in the late 

1990’s based on the U.S. Treasury 

determining that the remaining stock 

from the Vietnam War could no longer 

be used and it would take several years 

to replace them with new MPCs. The 

Army determined that going forward, 

the EagleCash Stored Value Card (SVC) 

will be used in lieu of MPC. 

DATES: This rule is effective on June 11, 

2018.

G. Eric Reid at (317) 212–2223 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been 

determined that publication of this CFR 

part removal for public comment is 

impracticable, unnecessary, and 

contrary to public interest. EagleCash is 

now used in support of operations in 

the Central Command, European 

Command, and Southern Command 

theaters by personnel from all Services 

and DoD civilians. Policy on use of the 

SVC is embedded in the DoD Financial 

Management Regulation (DoD 7000.14– 

R) Volume 5, Chapter 10 (http://

comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/ 

documents/fmr/Volume_05.pdf). Army 

doctrine using the SVC is in Field 

Manual 1–06, Financial Management 

Operations (http://armypubs.army.mil/ 

ProductMaps/PubForm/FM.aspx). The 

Treasury is in the final stage of 

development of a new EagleCash 

program which will be used by all 

Services for both initial entry training 

and operations. 

This rule is not significant under 

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review,’’ 

therefore, E.O. 13771, ‘‘Reducing 

Regulation and Controlling Regulatory 

Costs’’ does not apply.

33 CFR Part 117 

[Docket No. USCG–2018–0481] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Hudson River, Troy and Green Island, 

New York 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of deviation from 

drawbridge regulation. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule that governs the Highway 

(Green Island) Bridge across the Hudson 

River, mile 152.7, at Troy and Green 

Island, New York. This temporary 

deviation is necessary to allow the 

bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position to facilitate deck 

replacement. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

12:01 a.m. on June 19, 2018, to 11:59 

p.m. on September 6, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: The docket for this 

deviation, USCG–2018–0481 is available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the 

docket number in the ‘‘SEARCH’’ box 

and click ‘‘SEARCH.’’ Click on Open

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this temporary 

deviation, call or email Judy Leung-Yee, 

Bridge Management Specialist, First 

District Bridge Branch, U.S. Coast 

Guard, telephone 212–514–4336, email 

Judy.K.Leung-Yee@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New 

York State Department of 

Transportation, the bridge owner, 

requested a temporary deviation from 

the normal operating schedule of the 

bridge to facilitate deck replacement. 

The Highway (Green Island) Bridge 

across the Hudson River, mile 152.7, has 

a vertical clearance in the closed 

position of 29 feet at mean high water. 

The existing bridge operating 

regulations are listed at 33 CFR 

117.791(e). 

Under this temporary deviation, the 

Highway (Green Island) Bridge shall 

remain in the closed position from 12:01 

a.m. on June 19, 2018 to 11:59 p.m. on 

July 13, 2018, and from 12:01 a.m. on 

August 17, 2018 to 11:59 p.m. on 

September 6, 2018. 

The waterway is transited by 

commercial and recreational traffic. The 

bridge owner and contractor notified 

known commercial vessel operators that 

transit the area and there were no 

objections to this temporary deviation. 

Vessels able to pass under the bridge in 

the closed position may do so at any 

time. The bridge will not be able to open 

for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels to 

pass. 

The Coast Guard will inform the users 

of the waterways through our Local and 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedule for the 

bridge so that vessel operators can 

arrange their transits to minimize any 

impact caused by the temporary 

deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: June 5, 2018. 

C.J. Bisignano, 

Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, 

First Coast Guard District.
