Regulated Navigation Area; South 

Bristol Gut Bridge Replacement, South 

Bristol, ME 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a regulated navigation area 

(RNA) on the navigable waters of The 

Gut in South Bristol, ME in support of 

bridge construction. This regulated 

navigation area allows the Coast Guard 

to enforce speed and wake restrictions 

and prohibit all vessel traffic through 

the regulated navigation area during 

bridge replacement operations, both 

planned and unforeseen, which could 

pose an imminent hazard to persons and 

vessels operating in the area. This rule 

is necessary to provide for the safety of 

life on the navigable waters during 

bridge structural repair operations. 

DATES: This rule is effective without 

actual notice from October 8, 2014 until 

April 30, 2017. For the purposes of 

enforcement, actual notice will be used 

from the date the rule was signed, 

September 19, 2014, until October 8, 

2014.

A. Regulatory History and Information 

On January 24, 2014, Sector Northern 

New England received notice of a 

proposed replacement of The Gut Bridge 

in South Bristol, ME between 

Rutherford Island and Bristol Neck. A 

Bridge Permit was awarded to Maine 

Department of Transportation (MEDOT) 

on April 15, 2014 to begin in accordance 

with Plans dated September 24, 2013. 

MEDOT held seven public meetings 

between June 2009 and August 2013 

and mariners have expressed no 

significant concerns. 

On November 8, 2013, Public Notice 

1–132 was disseminated by the First 

Coast Guard District. This notice 

included the official plans being 

submitted for approval of a bridge 

permit and solicited comments from the 

public. Twenty-five comments were 

received. All comments were in support 

of burying the existing overhead 

electrical cables rather than allowing 

them to remain in place above the 

water. There were no comments 

received in opposition of the proposed 

construction project or potential 

closures to the channel. 

On July 25, 2014, the Coast Guard 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) regarding the 

creation of this regulated navigation 

area. No comments were received 

during the public comment period of 

the NPRM. 

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 effectiveness of 

this rule would be impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest as 

immediate action is needed to protect 

the boating public from the hazards 

associated with a dangerous 

construction site. The Coast Guard finds 

it impractical and unnecessary to move 

the start of construction to 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with FRONTMATTER
60746 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 8, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

accommodate the 30-day delayed 

effective date. The public has known 

about this pending construction through 

public meetings and publication of an 

NPRM for more than a year, so delaying 

an additional thirty days is unnecessary. 

The regulated area is small in scope and 

will only be enforced as needed for 

boating safety in the affected waters. 

The most significant impact on the 

boating public will not take place until 

2015. 

B. Basis and Purpose 

Under the Ports and Waterways Safety 

Act, the Coast Guard has the authority 

to establish regulated navigation areas 

in defined water areas that are 

determined to have hazardous 

conditions and in which vessel traffic 

can be regulated in the interest of safety. 

See 33 U.S.C. 1231, 46 U.S.C. Chapter 

701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 

CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, and 160.5; 

Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064; and 

Department of Homeland Security 

Delegation No. 0170.1. 

Starting in September 2014, MEDOT 

is replacing the existing movable bobtail 

swing bridge over The Gut, which 

carries State Route 129 from Bristol 

Neck to Rutherford Island, with a 

movable trunnion-style lift bridge on the 

same alignment. The project is 

necessary to replace a structurally and 

operationally deficient bridge that has 

exceeded its useful life. The new bridge 

will measure approximately 68 feet in 

length and will be 41 feet wide out-toout. All parts of the existing bridge will 

be removed in their entirety. Before 

demolition of the existing bridge 

commences, a temporary fixed detour 

bridge will be constructed on the east 

side of the existing bridge to provide for 

vehicular and pedestrian traffic 

throughout the project. This temporary 

bridge will not be movable and will 

have a fixed vertical clearance of 3 feet 

11 inches. The existing bridge has a 

vertical clearance of 4 feet 2 inches 

when closed. 

The First District Commander has 

determined that this bridge construction 

project will pose a risk to vessels 

transiting the waters in the vicinity of 

the Route 129 bridge at Bristol Neck and 

Rutherford Island. The purpose of this 

rule is to ensure the safe transit of 

vessels in the area, and to protect all 

persons, vessels, construction crews, 

and the marine environment during 

bridge construction operations on The 

Gut in South Bristol, ME, between 

Rutherford Island and Bristol Neck. 

C. Discussion of Final Rule 

In order to mitigate the inherent risks 

involved in construction, it is necessary 

to control vessel movement through the 

area. Accordingly, the Coast Guard is 

establishing a regulated navigation area 

on the navigable waters of The Gut in 

the vicinity of South Bristol, ME. 

Generally, this RNA imposes two 

requirements on the public. Each is 

discussed further below. 

First, this RNA imposes a speed 

restriction on vessels within the RNA. 

Heavy-lift operations are sensitive to 

water movement, and wake from 

passing vessels could pose significant 

risk of injury or death to construction 

workers. In order to minimize such 

unexpected or uncontrolled movement 

of water, the RNA will limit vessel 

speed and wake in the vicinity of the 

bridge construction zone. This will be 

achieved by implementing a five (5) 

knot speed limit and ‘‘NO WAKE’’ zone 

in the vicinity of the construction 

within the regulated area. While in the 

RNA, all vessels must proceed with 

caution and operate in such a manner as 

to produce no wake unless a higher 

minimum speed is necessary to 

maintain steering. 

The second requirement imposed by 

this rule pertains to waterway closures. 

When necessary for safety, this RNA 

will prohibit vessel access to the 

regulated area. This will ensure that 

vessels are only permitted to transit the 

area when it is safe to do so. The Coast 

Guard may close the regulated area 

described in this rule to all vessel traffic 

during any circumstance that poses an 

imminent threat to waterway users 

operating in the area. Complete 

waterway closures will be made with as 

much advanced notice as possible. At 

present, the Coast Guard is aware of one 

213-day closure that will begin on or 

after September 10, 2015 and will end 

on or prior to May 22, 2016. Vessels will 

not be permitted to transit through ‘‘The 

Gut’’ for the duration of this 213-day 

closure. In addition, shorter duration 

channel closures may be enforced 

between October 15, 2014 and April 30, 

2015 and between October 15, 2015 and 

April 30, 2016 between the hours of 

9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and between the 

hours of 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. These 

shorter closures will occur only as 

required to safely perform operations in 

the channel. Marine traffic will be 

detoured around Rutherford Island 

during all closure periods. Transit time 

around Rutherford Island is 

approximately 20–60 minutes for 

mariners. 

Generally, except in the case of the 

aforementioned 213-day period which 

will require closure of the channel 24- 

hours per day, the Coast Guard intends 

to enforce the speed restrictions and the 

waterway closures only during limited 

hours of the day to minimize impacts on 

vessel traffic. The public will be advised 

of the enforcement dates and times of 

this RNA via Local Notice to Mariners, 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and other 

means described in 33 CFR 165.7. Such 

notices will be provided in advance of 

closure times. 

D. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

1. Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 

or under section 1 of Executive Order 

13563. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under those 

Orders. We expect the economic impact 

of this rule to be minimal because 

mariners are able to make a short transit 

(approximately 20–60 minutes) around 

Rutherford Island to reach any 

destination on the other side of The Gut. 

2. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 

(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 

requires federal agencies to consider the 

potential impact of regulations on small 

entities during rulemaking. 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 of less than 50,000. 

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. 

This rule would not affect small 

entities, because all areas of the 

waterway are accessible and an alternate 

route is provided to mariners during the 

full closure of the bridge. 

3. Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this rule. If the rule 

would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with FRONTMATTER
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 8, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 60747 

compliance, please contact the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT, above. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 

888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The 

Coast Guard will not retaliate against 

small entities that question or complain 

about this rule or any policy or action 

of the Coast Guard. 

4. Collection of Information 

This rule will not call for a new 

collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520.). 

5. Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect 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. We have 

analyzed this rule under that Order and 

determined that this rule does not have 

implications for federalism. 

6. 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. 

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

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

more in any one year. Though this rule 

would not result in such an 

expenditure, we do discuss the effects of 

this rule elsewhere in this preamble. 

8. Taking of Private Property 

This rule would not cause a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

9. Civil Justice Reform 

This rule meets applicable standards 

in sections 3(a) and 3(b) (2) of Executive 

Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to 

minimize litigation, eliminate 

ambiguity, and reduce burden. 

10. Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not 

an economically significant rule and 

would not create an environmental risk 

to health or risk to safety that might 

disproportionately affect children. 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it would not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. 

12. Energy Effects 

This rule is not a ‘‘significant energy 

action’’ under Executive Order 13211, 

Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

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 the establishment of an RNA. 

This rule is categorically excluded from 

further review under paragraph 34(g) of 

Figure 2–1 of the Commandant 

Instruction. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES.
