the requirements of this AD action, and

that no operator would accomplish

those actions in the future if this AD

were not adopted.

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects on the

States, on the relationship between the

national government and the States, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this action (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)

will not have a significant economic

impact, positive or negative, on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act. A final evaluation has

been prepared for this action and it is

contained in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it may be obtained from the Rules

Docket at the location provided under

the caption ADDRESSES.

33 CFR Part 117

[CG08–94–025]

RIN 2115–AE47

Drawbridge Operation Regulation;

Sabine River, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: At the request of the

Louisiana Department of Transportation

and Development, the Coast Guard is

changing the regulation governing the

operation of a swing span bridge across

the Sabine River, mile 40.8, near Starks,

between Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana,

and Newton County, Texas, by

permitting the draw to remain closed to

navigation at all times.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This regulation

becomes effective May 18, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated,

documents referred to in this preamble

are available for inspection or copying

at the Eighth Coast Guard District

Office, 501 Magazine Street, Room 1313,

New Orleans, Louisiana 70130–3396,

between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday

through Friday, except Federal holidays.

The telephone number is (504) 589–

2965.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

David Frank, Bridge Administration

Branch, Eighth Coast Guard District,

Telephone (504) 589–2965.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Drafting Information

The principal persons involved in

drafting this document are Mr. David

Frank, Project Manager, Bridge

Administration Branch, and LT Elisa

Holland, Project Attorney.

Regulatory History

On September 30, 1994, the Coast

Guard published a notice of proposed

rulemaking entitled Drawbridge

Operation Regulations; Sabine River, LA

in the Federal Register (59 FR 49875).

The Coast Guard received three letters

commenting on the proposal. No public

hearing was requested, and none was

held.
19352 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 74 / Tuesday, April 18, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

Background and Purpose

LDOTD requested that the draw

remain permanently closed. Navigation

requiring openings is non-existent and

the bridge has not been opened for

twenty years. There is no commercial

navigation on the waterway in the

vicinity of the bridge crossing. Vertical

clearance of the bridge in the closed

position is 6 feet above mean high water

and 20 feet above mean low water. The

occasional small recreational boat

which uses the waterway can transit the

bridge without requiring an opening.

Permitting the permanent closure of the

draw will result in a significant savings

in maintenance costs with no adverse

effect on navigational traffic.

Discussion of Comments

The National Marine Fisheries Service

and Louisiana Department of Wildlife

and Fisheries offered no objection to the

proposed rule change. One letter of

objection was received from an

individual completing construction of a

boat above the bridge site. The bridge

owner went to considerable expense to

open the bridge to allow the boat to

pass. As a result, the lone objector has

withdrawn his objection to the proposed

rule change.

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 cost

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that

order. It has been exempted from review

by the Office of Management and

Budget 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).

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 of the

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

Because it expects the impact of this

proposal to be minimal, 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 contains no collection of

information requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.).

Federalism

This action has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612, and it has been determined that

the final rulemaking 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. A ‘‘Categorical

Exclusion Determination’’ is available in

the docket for inspection or copying

where indicated under ADDRESSES.

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 499; 49 CFR 1.46; 33

CFR 1.05–1(g).

2. Section 117.493 is revised to read

as follows:

§ 117.493 Sabine River.

(a) The draws of the Southern Pacific

railroad bridge, mile 19.3 near Echo and

the Kansas City Southern railroad

bridge, mile 36.2 near Ruliff, shall open

on signal if at least 24 hours notice is

given.

(b) The draw of the S12 bridge, mile

40.8 at Starks, need not be opened for

[CGD09–95–007]

Inland Waterways Navigation

Regulations: Speed Limits on

Connecting Waters From Lake Huron

to Lake Erie

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commander of the Ninth

Coast Guard District, in cooperation

with Canadian authorities, is

temporarily amending the speed limits

on connecting waters from Lake Huron

to Lake Erie. A similar temporary rule

was in effect during the 1993 and 1994

navigation seasons. The speed limits in

this area are determined in large part by

concerns about wake damage. However,

lesser wakes are created by

nondisplacement power vessels and

those speed limits may unnecessarily

impede their passage. This temporary

rule will allow nondisplacement power

vessels, less than 100 gross tons, to

exceed the normal speed limits subject

to certain restrictions.

DATES: This regulation is effective at

12:01 a.m. on April 1, 1995 and

terminates at 12 midnight on November

30, 1995. Comments must be received

on or before May 31, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments and supporting

materials should be mailed or delivered

to Lieutenant Katherine Weathers,

Assistant Chief of the Marine Port and

Environmental Safety Branch, Ninth

Coast Guard District, Room 2069, 1240

East Ninth Street, Cleveland, Ohio

44199–2060, (216) 522–3994. Please

reference the name of the proposal and

the docket number in the heading

above. If you desire acknowledgment of

your mailed comment, please include a

stamped self-addressed envelope or

postcard for that purpose. Comments

and materials received will be available

for public inspection at the above

location from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday

through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Assistant Chief of the Marine Port and

Environmental Safety Branch, Ninth

Coast Guard District, (216) 522–3994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments

Comments on this regulation,

including comments on the prior

version in effect during the 1993 and

1994 navigation seasons, are invited. A

public hearing is not anticipated,

however will be considered if specific

requests are received. Requests should

indicate how such a hearing would
