[Docket No. USCG–2022–0221] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Rancocas Creek, Burlington County, 

NJ 

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 US Route 543 

(Riverside-Delanco) Bridge across 

Rancocas Creek, mile 1.3, at Burlington 

County, NJ. This deviation will test a 

change to the drawbridge operation 

schedule to determine whether a 

permanent change to the schedule is 

needed. The Coast Guard is seeking 

comments from the public regarding 

these proposed changes. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

May 23, 2022 through 7:59 p.m. on 

October 15, 2022. For the purpose of 

enforcement, actual notice will be used 

from 1 p.m. on May 4, 2022, until May 

23, 2022. Comments and related 

material must reach the Coast Guard on 

or before August 1, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2022–0221 using Federal Decision

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this test 

deviation, call or email Mr. Mickey D.

(dpb); telephone (757) 398–6587, email 

Mickey.D.Sanders2@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis 

The purpose of the deviation is to test 

the seasonal operating regulation of the 

US Route 543 (Riverside-Delanco) 

Bridge across Rancocas Creek, mile 1.3, 

at Burlington County, NJ. The US 543 

(Riverside-Delanco) Bridge across 

Rancocas Creek, mile 1.3, at Burlington 

County, NJ, has a vertical clearance of 

4 feet above mean high water in the 

closed-to-navigation position. The 

bridge currently operates under 33 CFR 

117.745(b). 

The Burlington County Bridge 

Commission who owns and operates the 

bridge has requested this change in the 

operation schedule to reduce the 

number of bridge openings during offpeak hours, while providing for the 

reasonable needs of navigation. The 

Rancocas Creek is used predominately 

by recreational vessels and pleasure 

crafts. 

The bridge will be maintained in the 

closed-to-navigation position from 7 

a.m. to 3 p.m., and from 8 p.m. to 11 

p.m., Monday through Friday, from 7 

a.m. to 1 p.m., and from 8 p.m. to 11 

p.m., Saturday and Sunday, and from 11 

p.m. to 7 a.m., daily, from May 4, 2022, 

through October 15, 2022. 

The three-year, monthly average 

number of bridge openings from 7 a.m. 

to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, 7 

a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, 

and from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., daily, as 

drawn from the data contained in the 

bridge tender logs, is presented below. 

April to October 

(2018, 2019 and 2020)

openings

Saturday & Sunday, 7 a.m. to 1 

p.m ............................................ 2 

Daily, 8 p.m. to 11 p.m ................. 7 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed-to-navigation 

position may do so at any time. The 

bridge will be able to open in case of an 

emergency 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 test deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to normal 

operation at the end of the effective 

period of this test deviation. This 

deviation is authorized under 33 CFR 

117.35.

Safety Zone; Lower Mississippi River, 

Mile Marker 807, Barfield Bend, TN 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone for 

all navigable waters of the Lower 

Mississippi River (LMR), Mile Marker 

805 through 810. The safety zone is 

needed to protect persons, property, and 

the marine environment from the 

potential safety hazards associated with 

a rock replacement project in the 

vicinity of Barfield Bend, TN. Entry of 

persons or vessels into this zone is 

prohibited unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port Sector Lower 

Mississippi River or a designated 

representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective without 

actual notice from May 23, 2022 until 

June 15, 2022. For the purposes of 

enforcement, actual notice will be used 

from May 13, 2022 until May 23, 2022.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment pursuant to 

authority under section 4(a) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because it is 

impracticable. Immediate action is 

needed to protect persons and property 

from the potential safety hazards 

associated with the rock replacement 

project. The NPRM process would delay 

the establishment of the safety zone 

until after the date of the event and 

compromise public safety. We must 

establish this temporary safety zone 

immediately and lack sufficient time to 

provide a reasonable comment period 

and then consider those comments 

before issuing the rule. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date of 

this rule would be contrary to the public 

interest because immediate action is 

needed to respond to the potential 

safety hazards associated with the rock 

replacement project in the vicinity of 

Barfield Bend, TN. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 

(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The 

Captain of the Port Sector Lower 

Mississippi River (COTP) has 

determined that potential hazards 

associated with the rock replacement 

project would be a safety concern for all 

persons and vessels on the Lower 

Mississippi River between MM 805 and 

MM 810 in the vicinity of Barfield Bend, 

TN. This rule is needed to protect 

persons, property, infrastructure, and 

the marine environment in all waters of 

the LMR within the safety zone while 

the rock replacement project are being 

conducted. 

IV. Discussion of the Rule 

This rule establishes a temporary 

safety zone from May 13, 2022 through 

June 15, 2022. The safety zone will 

cover all navigable waters of the LMR 

from MM 805 through MM 810 in the 

vicinity of Barfield Bend, TN. The 

duration of this safety zone is intended 

to ensure the safety of waterway users 

on these navigable waters during the 

rock replacement project. 

Entry of persons or vessels into this 

safety zone is prohibited unless 

authorized by the COTP or a designated 

representative. A designated 

representative is a commissioned, 

warrant, or petty officer of the U.S. 

Coast Guard assigned to units under the 

operational control of USCG Sector 

Lower Mississippi River. Persons or 

vessels seeking to enter the safety zones 

must request permission from the COTP 

or a designated representative on VHF– 

FM channel 16 or by telephone at 901– 

521–4822. If permission is granted, all 

persons and vessels shall comply with 

the instructions of the COTP or 

designated representative. The COTP or 

a designated representative will inform 

the public of the enforcement times and 

date for this safety zone through 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNMs), 

Local Notices to Mariners (LNMs), and/ 

or Marine Safety Information Bulletins 

(MSIBs), as appropriate.
