9370 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 41 / Monday, March 3, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

this rule may be made effective in less

than 30 days after its publication in the

Federal Register.

Regulatory Evaluation

This rule is not major under Executive

Order 12291 and not significant under

the ‘‘Department of Transportation

Regulatory Policies and Procedures’’ (44

FR 11040; February 26, 1979). The Coast

Guard expects the economic impact of

this rule to be so minimal that a full

Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C 601 et seq.), the Coast Guard

must consider whether this rule will

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

‘‘Small entities’’ include independently

owned and operated small businesses

that are not dominant in their field and

that otherwise qualify as ‘‘small

business concerns’’ under section 3 of

the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632).

This rule will have no impact on either

vehicular or navigational traffic.

Because it expects the impact of this

final rule to be minimal, the Coast

Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b)

that it will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.

Collection of Information

This rule contains no collection of

information requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.).

Federalism

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

rule under the principles and criteria

contained in Executive Order 12612 and

has determined that this rule does not

have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a

Federalism Assessment.

Environment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that, under section 2.B.2 of

Commandant Instruction M16475.1

(series), this proposal is categorically

excluded from further environmental

documentation.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation;

Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation

from regulations.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Commander, Eighth Coast Guard

District has issued a temporary

deviation from the regulation governing

the operation of the Seabrook Railroad

bascule span drawbridge across the

Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, mile 4.5

in New Orleans, Orleans Parish,

Louisiana. This deviation requires that

the draw open on signal except that

between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon

and between the hours of 1 p.m. and 5

p.m. on weekdays only from April 7,

1997 through May 2, 1997, the draw

need not open for the passage of vessels.

Presently, the draw is required to open

on signal. This closure is necessary for

structural repair of the roadway support

which has been damaged as a result of

a vessel allision. The draw of the bridge

may be open between noon and 1 p.m.

to pass navigation.

DATES: The deviation is effective from 8

a.m. on April 7, 1997 through 5 p.m. on

May 2, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Phil Johnson, Bridge Administration

Branch, Commander (ob), Eighth Coast

Guard District, 501 Magazine Street,

New Orleans, Louisiana 70130–3396,

telephone number (504) 589–2965.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

The Seabrook (Southern railroad)

bascule span drawbridge across the

Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, mile 4.5

in New Orleans, has a vertical clearance

of one foot above high tide in the closed

to navigation position and unlimited

clearance in the open to navigation

position. Navigation on the waterway

consist of tugs with tows, including

crane barges, jack-up boats, oil industry

crew vessels, fishing vessels, sailing

vessels, and other recreational craft. The

Port of New Orleans requested a

temporary deviation from the normal

operation of the bridge so that repairs to

the concrete roadway support may be

made.

Dated: January 30, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to

Spence Farm Site in Ocean County,

New Jersey.

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this

site was published October 25, 1996 (61

FR 55260). The closing date for

comments on the Notice of Intent to

Delete was November 25, 1995. EPA

received no comments and therefore has

not prepared a Responsiveness

Summary.

The EPA identifies sites which appear

to present a significant risk to public

health, welfare, or the environment and

it maintains the NPL as the list of those

sites. Sites on the NPL may be the

subject of Hazardous Substance

Response Trust Fund (Fund)—financed

remedial actions. Section 300.425(e)(3)

of the NCP states that Fund-financed

actions may be taken at sites deleted

from the NPL in the unlikely event that

conditions at the site warrant such

action. Deletion of a site from the NPL

does not affect responsible party

liability or impede agency efforts to

recover costs associated with response

efforts.
