aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) 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. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Directive 023–01 and Commandant 

Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the 

Coast Guard in complying with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have 

determined that this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule involves a 

special local regulation which 

temporarily limits access to race 

participants only in certain portions of 

the Intracoastal Waterway in Venice, FL, 

except in emergency situations. It is 

categorically excluded from further 

review under paragraph L61 of 

Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction 

Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 01. A 

Record of Environmental Consideration 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notification of expired 

temporary rules issued. 

SUMMARY: This document provides 

notification of substantive rules issued 

by the Coast Guard that were made 

temporarily effective but expired before 

they could be published in the Federal 

Register. This document lists temporary 

safety zones, security zones, special 

local regulations, drawbridge operation 

regulations and regulated navigation 

areas, all of limited duration and for 

which timely publication in the Federal 

Register was not possible. 

DATES: This document lists temporary 

Coast Guard rules that became effective, 

primarily during the period between 

April 2018 and June 2018, unless 

otherwise indicated, and were 

terminated before they could be 

published in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Temporary rules listed in 

this document may be viewed online, 

under their respective docket numbers, 

using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at 

http://www.regulations.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions on this document contact 

Yeoman First Class David Hager, Office 

of Regulations and Administrative Law, 

telephone (202) 372–3862. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast 

Guard District Commanders and 

Captains of the Port (COTP) must be 

immediately responsive to the safety 

and security needs within their 

jurisdiction; therefore, District 

Commanders and COTPs have been 

delegated the authority to issue certain 

local regulations. Safety zones may be 

established for safety or environmental 

purposes. A safety zone may be 

stationary and described by fixed limits 

or it may be described as a zone around 

a vessel in motion. Security zones limit 

access to prevent injury or damage to 

vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities. 

Special local regulations are issued to 

enhance the safety of participants and 

spectators at regattas and other marine 

events. Drawbridge operation 

regulations authorize changes to 

drawbridge schedules to accommodate 

bridge repairs, seasonal vessel traffic, 

and local public events. Regulated 

Navigation Areas are water areas within 

a defined boundary for which 

regulations for vessels navigating within 

the area have been established by the 

regional Coast Guard District 

Commander. 

Timely publication of these rules in 

the Federal Register may be precluded 

when a rule responds to an emergency, 

or when an event occurs without 

sufficient advance notice. The affected 

public is, however, often informed of 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
44232 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 169 / Thursday, August 30, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

these rules through Local Notices to 

Mariners, press releases, and other 

means. Moreover, actual notification is 

provided by Coast Guard patrol vessels 

enforcing the restrictions imposed by 

the rule. Because Federal Register 

publication was not possible before the 

end of the effective period, mariners 

were personally notified of the contents 

of these safety zones, security zones, 

special local regulations, regulated 

navigation areas or drawbridge 

operation regulations by Coast Guard 

officials on-scene prior to any 

enforcement action. However, the Coast 

Guard, by law, must publish in the 

Federal Register notice of substantive 

rules adopted. To meet this obligation 

without imposing undue expense on the 

public, the Coast Guard periodically 

publishes a list of these temporary 

safety zones, security zones, special 

local regulations, regulated navigation 

areas and drawbridge operation 

regulations. Permanent rules are not 

included in this list because they are 

published in their entirety in the 

Federal Register. Temporary rules are 

also published in their entirety if 

sufficient time is available to do so 

before they are placed in effect or 

terminated. 

The following unpublished rules were 

temporarily in effect during the period 

between April 2018 and June 2018, 

unless otherwise indicated. To view 

copies of these rules, visit

[Docket No. USCG–2018–0729] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Fort 

Pierce, FL 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule that governs the Fort Pierce 

North Causeway A1A Bridge (Banty 

Sanders) across the Atlantic Intracoastal 

Waterway (AICW), mile 964.8 at Fort 

Pierce, St Lucie County FL. This 

deviation will test a change to the 

drawbridge operation schedule to 

determine whether a permanent change 

to the schedule is needed. This 

deviation will allow the bridge to 

remain in the closed to navigation 

position from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

7 a.m. on September 1, 2018 to 7 a.m. 

on February 28, 2019. Comments and 

related material must reach the Coast 

Guard on or before January 1, 2019. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2018–0729 using Federal eRulemaking 

Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

below for instructions on submitting 

comments. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this test 

deviation, call or email LT Samuel

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis 

The Fort Pierce North Causeway A1A 

Bridge (Banty Sanders) across the 

AICW, mile 964.8 in Fort Pierce, St 

Lucie County, FL is a bascule bridge. It 

has a vertical clearance of 26 feet at 

mean high water in the closed position 

and a horizontal clearance of 90 feet. 

The bridge currently operates under 33 

CFR 117.5. There has been a large 

increase in vehicular traffic over the 

bridge in recent years due to large areas 

along the beach being developed for 

residential homes. This test deviation 

would provide for the bridge to operate 

on an advertised schedule for openings. 

The draw shall open on signal; except 

that, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday 

through Friday except Federal Holidays, 

Saturdays and Sundays, the draw will 

open three times per hour: On the hour, 

20 minutes past the hour and 40 

minutes past the hour. Vessels in 

distress, public vessels of the United 

States, and tugs with tows must be 

passed at any time. 

This waterway is utilized by vessels 

of the United States, commercial 

vessels, as well as recreational vessels. 

There is no alternate route for vessels 

desiring to travel north in the AICW. 

Vessels that may pass through the 

bridge without a requested opening may 

do so at any time. 

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. 

II. Public Participation and Request for
