(4) Beneficiary liability. The legal 

obligation of the beneficiary, his or her 

estate, or responsible family member to 

pay for the costs of dental care or 

treatment received. Specifically, for the 

purposes of services and supplies 

covered by the TDP, beneficiary liability 

including cost-sharing amounts or any 

amount above the network maximum 

allowable charge where the provider 

selected by the beneficiary is not a 

participating provider or a provider 

within an approved alternative delivery 

system. In cases where a 

nonparticipating provider does not 

accept assignment of benefits, 

* * * * * 

(14) Nonparticipating provider. A 

dentist or dental hygienist that 

furnished dental services to a TDP 

beneficiary, but who has not agreed to 

participate in the contractor’s network 

and accept reimbursement in 

accordance with the contractor’s 

network agreement. A nonparticipating 

provider looks to the beneficiary or 

active duty, Selected Reserve or 

Individual Ready Reserve member for 

final responsibility for payment of his or 

her charge, but may accept payment 

(assignment of benefits) directly from 

the insurer or assist the beneficiary in 

filing the claim for reimbursement by 

the dental plan contractor. Where the 

nonparticipating provider does not 

accept payment directly from the 

insurer, the insurer pays the beneficiary 

or active duty, Selected Reserve or 

Individual Ready Reserve member, not 

the provider. 

* * * * * 

(17) Participating provider. A dentist 

or dental hygienist who has agreed to 

participate in the contractor’s network 

and accept reimbursement in

Benefits may be extended for those 

dental services described as oral 

examination, diagnostic, and preventive 

services when performed directly by 

dentists and dental hygienists as 

authorized under paragraph (f) of this 

section. These include the following 

categories of service: 

* * * * * 

(B) * * * 

(5) Sealants. 

* * * * * 

(f) * * * 

(5) Participating provider. An 

authorized provider may elect to 

participate as a network provider in the 

dental plan contractor’s network and 

any such election will apply to all TDP 

beneficiaries. The authorized provider 

may not participate on a claim-by-claim 

basis. The participating provider must 

agree to accept, within one (1) day of a 

request for appointment, beneficiaries in 

need of emergency palliative treatment. 

Payment to the participating provider is 

based on the methodology specified in 

paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of this section. The 

fee or charge determinations are binding 

upon the provider in accordance with 

the dental plan contractor’s procedures 

for participation in the network. 

Payment is made directly to the 

participating provider, and the 

participating provider may only charge 

the beneficiary the applicable percent 

cost-share of the dental plan contractor’s 

allowable charge for those benefit 

categories as specified in paragraph (e) 

of this section, in addition to the full 

charges for any services not authorized 

as benefits.

network maximum allowable charge for 

similar services for that same locality 

(region) or state, whichever is lower, 

subject to the exception listed in 

paragraph (e)(3)(ii) of this section, less 

any cost-share amount due for 

authorized services. The network 

maximum allowable charge is the 

maximum negotiated fee between the 

dental contractor and any TDP 

participating provider for similar 

services covered by the dental plan in 

that same locality (region) or state.

B. Basis and Purpose 

The bridge owner, Conrail, requested 

a change to 33 CFR § 117.729 (a) due to 

the replacement of the existing bridge 

structure. Conrail also requested to 

modify the operating regulations due to 

their intent to install sensor equipment 

as part of the reconstruction efforts for 

their bridge across Mantua Creek. 

The original structure for the bridge at 

mile marker 1.4 across Mantua Creek 

was an A-Frame swing bridge with 

unlimited vertical clearance in the open 

position. This swing bridge is being 

replaced by a vertical lift bridge with a 

25-foot vertical clearance in the open 

position. The horizontal clearance for 

the swing bridge was 32 feet. The 

vertical lift bridge will have a horizontal 

clearance of 44 feet. Conrail proposed to 

install equipment to support remote 

operation of the bridge. 

The proposed regulations will change 

three aspects of the bridge operation. 

Specifically, the proposed regulations 

would enable (1) remote operation of 

the bridge, (2) installation of cameras 

and infrared sensors to verify whether 

any vessels are transiting the waterway 

before a bridge closure is initiated, and 

(3) alter the requirement for signals to be 

used during drawbridge movement 

operations. This proposed rule will not 

change the operating schedule of the 

bridge. 

The scope of the waterway inspection 

is different between the current on-site 

train crewmember inspection process 

and the range of the proposed camera 

installation. There is also a difference in 

the time it takes between the inspection 

and the initiation of the bridge closure 

operations. Currently the regulation 

requires an on-site train crewmember to 

conduct an inspection of the waterway 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 30, 2014 / Proposed Rules 78367 

for vessels by stopping the train 

approximately 150 feet north of the 

bridge site when approached from the 

north or 150 feet south of the bridge site 

when approached from the south. Once 

the train is stopped, the train 

crewmember walks to the bridge site 

and physically looks up and down the 

channel. The time it takes to stop the 

train, walk to the bridge, conduct the 

inspection, walk back to the train, and 

re-start the train takes 5–10 minutes. 

The proposed regulation allows the 

remote operating station to inspect the 

waterway with cameras without first 

stopping the train which permits a more 

efficient operating system. 

The closer the vessels are to the 

bridge, the more likely it is that the train 

crewmember will see them using the 

process required by the current 

regulation. Under the proposed 

regulations, the camera inspection of the 

waterway has the capability to zoom up 

and down stream allowing for easier 

detection of a smaller vessel 

approaching the bridge. After inspection 

of the waterway, using the cameras, the 

bridge closing operations would then 

occur from a remote location at the Mt. 

Laurel remote operating station. 

Currently, the bridge is required to be 

in the open to navigation position 

between March through November and 

is designed to be operated by the train 

crew. Under the proposed regulations 

Conrail proposes to operate the Mantua 

Creek Bridge at mile 1.4 from a remote 

location, the Conrail Mt. Laurel, NJ 

remote operating station, at all times. A 

draw tender may be stationed at the 

bridge at various times when it is 

deemed necessary for safety purposes 

such as during times when bridge 

maintenance is being performed. 

Conrail operates other bridges at the 

Mt. Laurel, NJ remote operating station. 

The change from on-site control of the 

bridge to the Mt. Laurel, NJ operating 

station enables Conrail to consolidate its 

control of the train line and Mantua 

Creek bridge. By controlling the track as 

well as the bridge operating mechanism 

at the Mt. Laurel station, the remote 

operator has access to more information 

regarding the anticipated arrival time for 

when the trains will be at the bridge 

site. Information such as train speed and 

location directly contribute to when the 

bridge will need to be closed. The 

proposed change to a remote operating 

station may shorten the duration of the 

bridge closures due to the higher 

accuracy of information on train speed 

and anticipated arrival time at the 

bridge site. 

The depth of Mantua Creek at the 

bridge is 22 feet. The diurnal tidal range 

is 6 feet. Mantua Creek is used by 

several recreational vessels during the 

summer boating season. There is no 

commercial vessel traffic on Mantua 

Creek. 

From March through November, the 

bridge is in the open to navigation 

position and will only be lowered for 

the passage of train and maintenance. 

Train activity in this location requires 

the bridge to close to navigation up to 

eight times a day Monday thru Friday. 

On Saturday and Sunday, the bridge is 

closed up to six times each day. 

From December through the end of 

February, the bridge is in the closed to 

navigation position but will open if 4 

hours notice is given. 

Conrail also proposes to specify the 

dates when the bridge will be left in the 

open to navigation position, March 1 

through November 30 and left in the 

closed to navigation position from 

December 1 through the last day of 

February. This represents a clarification 

of the existing regulatory language, and 

not a substantive change to the existing 

bridge schedule. 

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

Under the proposed regulation, the 

responsibility to operate the drawbridge 

is being removed from the train crew 

and being transferred to the remote 

operating station located in Mt. Laurel, 

NJ. The visual examination of the 

waterway to confirm whether or not any 

vessels are present will shift from the 

train crew to the Mt. Laurel remote 

operating station. The train crew will 

not be required to stop and check the 

waterway prior to the remote operating 

station closing or opening the bridge. A 

new requirement for the remote 

operating station is being proposed that 

uses cameras and sensors to confirm 

whether any vessels are navigating 

Mantua Creek near the CONRAIL bridge 

prior to closing the bridge. 

From the controls at the Mt. Laurel 

remote operating station, the timeframe 

to initiate the bridge closure is not more 

than 15 minutes before a train will 

arrive at the bridge location. At the Mt. 

Laurel remote operating station, the 

cameras and sensors will be used 

continuously during the bridge closure 

operations to monitor the waterway for 

the presence of vessels. 

With the limit of 25 feet of vertical 

clearance in the open position, the 

movement of the bridge impacts vessels 

transiting the waterway. Signals alerting 

any vessels on Mantua Creek about this 

movement are being modified to reflect 

the operating process of a new vertical 

lift bridge instead of the removed swing 

bridge. The bridge will use flashing red 

lights along with sounding the horn to 

notify waterway users that the bridge is 

changing position. The current 

regulation requires a flashing red light, 

one prolonged blast, one short blast, and 

an audio voice announcement to 

indicate the bridge is opening. The 

proposed regulation states that the light 

will change from fixed green to flashing 

red any time the bridge is not in the full 

open position. Prior to bridge 

movement, there will be two prolonged 

blasts followed by two short blasts. The 

proposed regulation removes the audio 

voice announcement. 

D. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on these statutes or executive 

orders. 

1. Regulatory Planning and Review 

This proposed 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 Order 

12866 or under section 1 of Executive 

Order 13563. The Office of Management 

and Budget has not reviewed it under 

those Orders. The changes proposed by 

this NPRM impact the methods used to 

operate the drawbridge. There are no 

changes proposed to the drawbridge 

operating schedule. 

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 proposed rule would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This action will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities for the 

following reasons. There are no changes 

proposed to the drawbridge operating 

schedule. Vessels that can safely transit 

under the bridge may do so at any time. 

The vertical clearance of 25 feet is 

consistent with other approved bridges 

on Mantua Creek. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
78368 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 30, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on it, 

please submit a comment (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

3. Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104– 

121), we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this proposed rule. If the 

rule would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please contact the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will 

not retaliate against small entities that 

question or complain about this 

proposed rule or any policy or action of 

the Coast Guard. 

4. Collection of Information 

This proposed rule would call for no 

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 proposed rule under that 

Order and have determined that it 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 

proposed rule will not result in such an 

expenditure, we do discuss the effects of 

this proposed rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

8. Taking of Private Property 

This proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, which guides 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 which do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. This proposed 

rule promulgates the operating 

regulations or procedures for 

drawbridges. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(32)(e), of the Instruction. 

Under figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e), of 

the Instruction, an environmental 

analysis checklist and a categorical 

exclusion determination are not 

required for this rule. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this 

proposed rule. 

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117 

Bridges. 

For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the Coast Guard proposes to 

amend 33 CFR part 117 as follows: 

PART 117—DRAWBRIDGE 

OPERATION REGULATIONS 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 117 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 499; 33 CFR 1.05–1; 

Department of Homeland Security Delegation 

No. 0170.1. 

■ 2. Revise § 117.729 (a) to read as 

follows: 

§ 117.729 Mantua Creek. 

(a) The draw of the Conrail automated 

railroad bridge, mile 1.4, at Paulsboro, 

NJ shall operate as follows: 

(1) The bridge will be operated 

remotely by the South Jersey Train 

Dispatcher located in Mt. Laurel, NJ. 

Operational information will be 

provided 24 hours a day by telephone 

at (856) 231–2282. 

(2) From March 1 through November 

30, the draw shall be left in the open

signal if at least 4 hours notice is given 

by telephone at (856) 231–2282. 

(4) The timeframe to initiate the 

bridge closure will be not more than 15 

minutes before a train will arrive at the 

bridge location. If a train, moving 

toward the bridge has crossed the home 

signal for the bridge, the train may 

continue across the bridge and must 

clear the bridge prior to stopping for any 

reason. Trains shall be controlled so that 

any delay in opening of the draw shall 

not exceed ten minutes except as 

provided in § 117.31(b). 

(5) The bridge will be equipped with 

cameras and channel sensors to visually

and electronically ensure the waterway 

is clear before the bridge closes. The 

video and sensors are located and 

monitored at the remote operating 

location in Mt. Laurel, NJ. The channel 

sensors signal will be a direct input to 

the bridge control system. In the event 

of failure or obstruction of the infrared 

channel sensors, the bridge will 

automatically stop closing and the 

South Jersey Train Dispatcher will 

return the bridge to the open position. 

In the event of video failure the bridge 

will remain in the full open position. 

(6) The Conrail Railroad center span 

light will change from fixed green to 

flashing red anytime the bridge is not in 

the full open position. 

(7) Prior to downward movement of 

the span, the horn will sound two 

prolonged blasts, followed by a pause, 

and then two short blasts until the 

bridge is seated and locked down. At 

the time of movement, the center span 

light will change from fixed green to 

flashing red and remain flashing until 

the bridge has returned to its full open 

position. 

(8) When the train controller at Mt. 

Laurel has verified that rail traffic has 

cleared, they will sound the horn five 

times to signal the draw is about to 

return to its full open position. 

(9) During upward movement of the 

span, the horn will sound two 

prolonged blasts, followed by a pause, 

and then sound two short blasts until 

the bridge is in the full open position. 

The center span light will continue to 

flash red until the bridge is in the fully 

open position. 

(10) When the draw cannot be 

operated from the remote site, a bridge 

tender must be called to operate the 

bridge in the traditional manner. 

Personnel shall be dispatched to arrive 

at the bridge as soon as possible, but not 

more than one hour after malfunction or 

disability of the remote system.
