Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Isthmus Slough, Coos Bay, OR 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

change the operating schedule that 

governs the Oregon State secondary 

highway bridge (Isthmus Slough 

Bridge), across Isthmus Slough, mile 

1.0, at Coos Bay, OR. To accommodate 

Oregon Department of Transportation’s 

(ODOT) preservation, painting and 

replacement of the bridge equipment, 

the Coast Guard proposes to operate half 

the double bascule span (single leaf). 

Additionally, during the period of this 

work, the non-functioning leaf of the 

span’s vertical clearance will be 

reduced. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must reach the Coast Guard on or before 

November 24, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG–

DHS Department of Homeland Security 

FR Federal Register 

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

ODOT Oregon Department of 

Transportation 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose and Legal 

Basis 

The United States Coast Guard 

proposes the following rulemaking 

change under statutory authority 33 

U.S.C. 499. Oregon Department of 

Transportation (ODOT), owns and 

operates the double bascule Isthmus 

Slough Bridge, across Isthmus Slough, 

mile 1.0, at Coos Bay, OR, and has 

requested a temporary change to the 

existing operating regulation to 

accommodate the bridge’s painting, and 

preservation and upgrading of the 

electrical systems. The subject bridge 

operates in accordance with 33 CFR 

117.879. Isthmus Slough provides no 

alternate routes to pass around the 

Isthmus Slough Bridge. To facilitate this 

event, ODOT requests the double 

bascule bridge operate in single leaf 

mode (half of the span), and reduce the 

vertical clearance of the non-functioning 

leaf. Isthmus Slough Bridge provides a 

vertical clearance of 28 feet in the 

closed-to-navigation position referenced 

to the vertical clearance above mean 

high water tide level. Up to ten feet of 

containment would be installed under 

the closed-to-navigation leaf only, and 

would reduce the vertical clearance to 

18 feet. Vessels that do not require an 

opening would be allowed to transit 

under the bridge at any time. We 

approved a temporary deviation on 

August 4, 2017 (82 FR 36332), with the 

same change in bridge operations as this 

NPRM. We have not received any 

reports of problems or complaints with 

the subject bridge operating under the 

temporary deviation.

49154 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 24, 2017 / Proposed Rules 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

We propose a temporary change to 33 

CFR 117.879 to be in effect from 6 a.m. 

on February 26, 2018, through 6 p.m. on 

July 31, 2019. This temporary rule 

would suspend the current paragraph 

regarding the Oregon State secondary 

highway bridge (Isthmus Slough 

Bridge), and add a temporary new 

paragraph which would amend the 

operating schedule of the Isthmus 

Slough Bridge by authorizing one half of 

the draw to open on signal, and would 

reduce the horizontal clearance and 

vertical clearance of the bridge. The 

temporary rule is necessary to 

accommodate painting, and 

preservation and upgrading of its 

electrical systems. This bridge provides 

a vertical clearance approximately 28 

feet above mean high water when in the 

closed-to-navigation position. One half 

of the bascule bridge would have a 

containment system installed on the 

non-functioning half of the span, which 

would reduce the vertical clearance by 

ten feet to 18 feet. The horizontal 

clearance with a full opening is 140 feet, 

therefore, in single leaf operation; a 

temporary rule change would reduce the 

horizontal clearance to approximately 

70 feet. 

IV. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

Executive Orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analysis based 

on these statutes and Executive Orders, 

and we discuss First Amendment rights 

of protestors. 

A. Regulatory Planning and Review 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits. 

Executive Order 13771 directs agencies 

to control regulatory costs through a 

budgeting process. This NPRM has not 

been designated a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action,’’ under Executive 

Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM 

has not been reviewed by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), and 

pursuant to OMB guidance, it is exempt 

from the requirements of Executive 

Order 13771. This regulatory action 

determination is based on the ability for 

mariners to transit under the bridge 

because the Isthmus Bridge would open 

half the draw allowing for the 

reasonable needs of navigation. 

B. 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. 

While some owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit the bridge 

may be small entities, for the reasons 

stated in section IV.A. above, this 

proposed rule would not have a 

significant economic impact on any 

vessel owner or operator. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

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. 

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 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. 

C. 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.). 

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal 

Government 

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 is 

consistent with the fundamental 

federalism principles and preemption 

requirements described in Executive 

Order 13132. 

Also, 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. 

If you believe this proposed rule has 

implications for federalism or Indian 

tribes, please contact the person listed 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section above. 

E. 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 

expenditure, we do discuss the effects of 

this proposed rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

F. 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 simply promulgates the operating 

regulations or procedures for 

drawbridges. Normally such actions are 

categorically excluded from further 

review, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(32)(e), of the Instruction. 

A preliminary Record of 

Environmental Consideration and a 

Memorandum for the Record are not 

required for this proposed rule. We seek 

any comments or information that may 

lead to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this 

proposed rule. 

G. 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

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels.
