Removal of this part does not reduce 

burden or cost on the public in any way, 

nor does it add any costs. This burden 

ended in 2003. Kaho‘olawe Island was 

used by the armed forces of the United 

States as a training area, including 

bombing and gunnery training ranges, 

under authority granted by Executive 

Order No. 10436 of February 20, 1953. 

The Commanding Officer, Naval Base 

Pearl Harbor controlled entry to the 

area. Title X of the Fiscal Year 1994 

Department of Defense Appropriations 

Act directed the Navy to convey 

Kaho‘olawe and its surrounding waters 

to the state of Hawaii. As directed by 

Title X, and in accordance with a 

required memorandum of 

understanding between the U.S. Navy 

and the State of Hawaii, the Navy 

transferred the title of the island of 

Kaho‘olawe to the state of Hawaii on 

May 9, 1994. On November 11, 2003, 

upon the completion of UXO clearance 

and environmental restoration, control 

of access to Kaho‘olawe was passed 

from the United States to the State of 

Hawaii. Since that time, Navy has not 

exercised access control to Kaho‘olawe 

Island or its adjacent waters.

double leaf openings. 

DATES: This deviation is effective 

without actual notice from July 6, 2018 

through 6 p.m. on July 31, 2018. For the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Florida 

Department of Transportation (FDOT), 

bridge owner, via Quinn Construction 

Inc, has requested a temporary deviation 

from the operation that governs the 

Indian Rocks Bridge across the Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway, mile 128.2. This 

deviation is necessary to facilitate 

mechanical and electrical repairs, 

painting, roadway and sidewalk grating 

replacement which includes concrete 

removal, and spall repair. The bridge is 

a double-leaf bascule bridge and has a 

vertical clearance in the closed to 

navigation position of 21 feet at mean 

high water. 

The current operating schedule is set 

out in 33 CFR 117.5. Under this 

temporary deviation, the bridge will 

operate on demand but single leaf only 

and with a 6 hour notice for double leaf 

openings. This section of the Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway is predominantly 

used by a variety of vessels including 

U.S. government vessels, small 

commercial vessels and recreational 

vessels. The Coast Guard has carefully 

considered the restrictions with 

waterway users in publishing this 

temporary deviation. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed position may do so 

at anytime. The bridge will be able to 

open for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels to 

pass. The Coast Guard will also 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 25, 2018.

Director, Bridge Branch, Seventh Coast Guard

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

38 CFR Part 17 

RIN 2900–AP20 

Third Party Billing for Medical Care 

Provided Under Special Treatment 

Authorities 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) is amending its medical 

regulations to clarify that VA will not 

bill third party payers for care and 

services provided by VA under certain 

statutory provisions, which we refer to 

as ‘‘special treatment authorities.’’ 

These special treatment authorities 

direct VA to provide care and services 

to veterans based upon discrete 

exposures or experiences that occurred 

during active military, naval, or air 

service. VA is authorized, but not 

required by law, to recover or collect 

charges for care and services provided 

to veterans for non-service-connected 

disabilities. This rule establishes that 

VA will not exercise its authority to 

recover or collect reasonable charges 

from third party payers for care and 

services provided under the special 

treatment authorities. 

DATES: This final rule is effective August 

6, 2018.
