Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 9, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 6325

documents which are incorporated by

reference in this amendment under 5

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and § 97.20

of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–

4, and 8260–5. Materials incorporated

by reference are available for

examination or purchase as stated

above.

The large number of SIAPs, their

complex nature, and the need for a

special format make their verbatim

publication in the Federal Register

expensive and impractical. Further,

airmen do not use the regulatory text of

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic

depiction on charts printed by

publishers of aeronautical materials.

Thus, the advantages of incorporation

by reference are realized and

publication of the complete description

of each SIAP contained in FAA form

documents is unnecessary. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR (and FAR) sections, with

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. Some

SIAP amendments may have been

previously issued by the FAA in a

National Flight Data Center (NFDC)

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an

emergency action of immediate flight

safety relating directly to published

aeronautical charts. The circumstances

which created the need for SIAP

amendments may require making them

effective in less than 30 days. For the

remaining SIAPs, an effective date at

least 30 days after publication is

provided.

Further, the SIAPs contained in this

amendment are based on the criteria

contained in the U.S. Standard for

Terminal Instrument Procedures

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs, the

TERPS criteria were applied to the

conditions existing or anticipated at the

affected airports. Because of the close

and immediate relationship between

these SIAPs and safety in air commerce,

I find that notice and public procedure

before adopting these SIAPs are

impracticable and contrary to the public

interest and, where applicable, that

good cause exists for making some

SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. It, therefore—(1) Is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. For the same

reason, the FAA certifies that this

amendment will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[CGD01–00–001]

Drawbridge Operation Regulations:

Chelsea River, Massachusetts

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation;

withdrawal.

SUMMARY: The Commander, First Coast

Guard District has withdrawn the

6326 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 9, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

temporary deviation from the

drawbridge operation regulations for the

P.J. McArdle Bridge, mile 0.3, across the

Chelsea River between Chelsea and East

Boston, Massachusetts. This withdrawal

was necessary because the bridge has

been repaired and is operating under its

normal operating regulations. The

normal operating regulations require the

bridge to open on signal at all times for

vessel traffic.

DATES: This deviation withdrawal is

effective January 18, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John

McDonald, Project Officer, First Coast

Guard District, at (617) 223–8364.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The bridge

owner, the City of Boston, requested a

temporary deviation from the operating

regulations to facilitate vehicular and

pedestrian traffic during electrical

repairs at the P. J. McArdle Bridge, mile

0.3, across the Chelsea River between

East Boston and Chelsea, Massachusetts.

The submarine electrical cable for the

bridge was damaged during harbor

dredging operations requiring

emergency repairs to be implemented in

order to restore bridge operation and

facilitate marine traffic.

The Coast Guard issued a temporary

deviation from the operating regulations

published in the Federal Register (65

FR 2541; January 18, 2000) effective

January 6, 2000 through March 5, 2000.

The purpose of the deviation was to

help facilitate vehicular traffic during

the weekday rush hours.

A temporary auxiliary operating

system has been installed to open the

bridge and the bridge is now operating

under its normal operating regulations.

The temporary deviation from the

operating regulations is no longer

necessary as a result of the bridge being

returned to a fully operable status. The

bridge owner was advised on January

18, 2000, that the deviation has been

withdrawn.

Notice is given that the P.J. McArdle

Bridge, mile 0.3, across the Chelsea

River shall open on signal at all times

for vessel traffic.

Dated: January 25, 2000.

[CGD01–00–003]

RIN 2115–AE47

Drawbridge Operation Regulations:

Reserved Channel, Massachusetts

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is removing

the drawbridge operation regulations

governing the Summer (L) Street Bridge,

mile 0.2, across the Reserved Channel in

Boston, MA. The bridge has been rebuilt

as a fixed bridge and the operating

regulations are no longer necessary.

Notice and public procedure have been

omitted from this action because the

bridge the regulations formerly

governed no longer exists.

DATES: This rule is effective February 9,

2000.

ADDRESSES: This docket (CGD01–00–

003), is available for inspection or

copying at the First Coast Guard

District, Bridge Branch Office, 408

Atlantic Avenue, Boston,

Massachusetts, 02110, 6:30 a.m. to 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:

Background and Purpose

The Summer (L) Street Bridge has

been removed and replaced with a fixed

bridge that does not open for navigation.

The operating regulations are now

unnecessary and will be removed by

this final rule.

The Coast Guard has determined that

good cause exists under the

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

553) to forego notice and comment for

this rulemaking because notice and

comment are unnecessary. Notice and

comment are unnecessary because the

bridge the regulations governed no

longer exists.

The Coast Guard, for the reasons

stated above, has determined that good

cause exists for this rule to be effective

upon publication in the Federal

Register.

Regulatory Evaluation

This rule is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of

Executive Order 12866 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. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the

regulatory policies and procedures of

the Department of Transportation (DOT)

(44 FR 11040; February 26, 1979). This

conclusion is based on the fact that the

bridge the regulations governed no

longer exists.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601–612) we 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 less than 50,000.

For reasons discussed in the

Regulatory Evaluation section above, 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.

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

We have analyzed this rule under

Executive Order 13132 and have

determined that this rule does not have

implications for federalism under that

Order.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) governs

the issuance of Federal regulations that

require unfunded mandates. An

unfunded mandate is a regulation that

requires a State, local, or tribal

government or the private sector to

incur direct costs without the Federal

Government’s having first provided the

funds to pay those unfunded mandate

costs. This rule will not impose an

unfunded mandate.

Taking of Private Property

This rule will not effect a taking of

private property or otherwise have

taking implications under E.O. 12630,

Governmental Actions and Interference

with Constitutionally Protected Property

Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

This rule meets applicable standards

in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of E.O.

12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
