SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Table of Acronyms DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking A. Regulatory History and Information On May 1, 2012 we published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), at Wrightsville Beach, NC; Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear River, at Wilmington NC’’ in the Federal Register (77 FR 25652). We received no comments on the published NPRM. No public meeting was requested, and none was held. The current operating schedule for the S.R. 74 Bridge at Wrightsville Beach, NC, the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge both at Wilmington, NC are located at 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4), 33 CFR 117.822, and 33 CFR 117.829(a), respectively. All three operating regulations were last amended on May 27, 2011 regarding an unrelated issue. There have been no other publications or efforts to reach out to the public in the development of this rule modification because these races are annual races that mariners are familiar with and this rule makes minor adjustments to the times the bridges will be unable to open. B. Basis and Purpose The YMCA Tri Span 5K and 10K races are annual events that are held in the Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, NC areas. Recently, the Wilmington Family YMCA made a permanent change to both the time and route of the events. The races will continue to be held on the second Saturday of July of every year; however, the events will now begin and end an hour earlier (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and the race routes will now include the S.R. 74 Bridge. As a result, the Wilmington Family YMCA, on behalf of NCDOT, requested a change to the operating regulations for the S.R. 74 Bridge, the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge. This final rule allows the bridges to E:\FR\FM\21AUR1.SGM 21AUR1 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 21, 2012 / Rules and Regulations remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of July of every year. The S.R. 74 Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge across AIWW, mile 283.1, at Wrightsville Beach, NC. It has a vertical clearance of 20 feet at mean high water in the closed position. The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge is a verticallift bridge across the Cape Fear River, mile 26.8, at Wilmington, NC. It has a vertical clearance of 65 feet above mean high water in the closed position. The Isabel S. Holmes Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge with a vertical clearance of 40 feet at mean high water in the closed position. pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule The Coast Guard provided sixty days for review but received no comments on the NPRM. The Coast Guard is amending 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4) for the S.R. 74 Bridge, mile 283.1 at Wrightsville Beach, NC to allow the bridge to remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of July of every year. The Coast Guard is amending 33 CFR 117.822 and 33 CFR 117.829(a)(4) for the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge, respectively, to allow the bridges to remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of July of every year from the current closure times of 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the second Saturday of July of every year. The amendments to these operating regulations will allow the bridges to remain in the closed position for the racers of the annual YMCA Tri Span 5K & 10K races to safely cross the bridges. The Coast Guard will issue Local Notices to Mariners and Broadcast Notices to Mariners every year to remind mariners of the annual closures which will allow them to plan their scheduled transits accordingly. There are no alternative routes available to vessels transiting these waterways. Vessels that can transit under the bridges without an opening may do so at any time. The bridges will be able to open for emergencies. 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:03 Aug 20, 2012 Jkt 226001 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 are expected to have minimal impacts on mariners due to the short duration that the moveable bridges will be maintained in the closed position. The races have been reserved in years past with little to no impact to marine traffic. It is also a necessary measure to facilitate public safety that allows for the orderly movement of participants before, during, and after the races. 2. Impact on Small Entities Under 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-forprofit 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 received no comments from the Small Business Administration on this rule. 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 affect the following entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels needing to transit any of the effected bridges from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of July of every year. This action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the rule adds minimal restrictions to the movement of navigation and mariners who plan their transits in accordance with the scheduled bridge closures can minimize delay. Vessels that can safely transit under the bridges may do so at any time. 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 compliance, please contact the person PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 50377 listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 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. CONTACT, 4. Collection of Information This rule will 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 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 rule will 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 will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise have E:\FR\FM\21AUR1.SGM 21AUR1 50378 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 21, 2012 / Rules and Regulations taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights. 9. Civil Justice Reform This rule meets the 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 does not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might disproportionately affect children. 11. Indian Tribal Governments 12. Energy Effects We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ under that order because it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211. 13. Technical Standards pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. We have analyzed this 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:03 Aug 20, 2012 Jkt 226001 second Saturday of November of every year, and from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the first or second Sunday of November of every year, the draw need not open for vessels to accommodate annual races. * * * * * Dated: August 8, 2012.

On May 1, 2012 we published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway (AIWW), at Wrightsville Beach, NC; Cape Fear and Northeast
Cape Fear River, at Wilmington NC'' in the Federal Register (77 FR
25652). We received no comments on the published NPRM. No public
meeting was requested, and none was held. The current operating
schedule for the S.R. 74 Bridge at Wrightsville Beach, NC, the Cape
Fear Memorial Bridge and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge both at
Wilmington, NC are located at 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4), 33 CFR 117.822, and
33 CFR 117.829(a), respectively. All three operating regulations were
last amended on May 27, 2011 regarding an unrelated issue. There have
been no other publications or efforts to reach out to the public in the
development of this rule modification because these races are annual
races that mariners are familiar with and this rule makes minor
adjustments to the times the bridges will be unable to open.
The YMCA Tri Span 5K and 10K races are annual events that are held
in the Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, NC areas. Recently, the
Wilmington Family YMCA made a permanent change to both the time and
route of the events. The races will continue to be held on the second
Saturday of July of every year; however, the events will now begin and
end an hour earlier (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and the race routes will now
include the S.R. 74 Bridge. As a result, the Wilmington Family YMCA, on
behalf of NCDOT, requested a change to the operating regulations for
the S.R. 74 Bridge, the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, and the Isabel S.
Holmes Bridge. This final rule allows the bridges to
remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second
Saturday of July of every year.
The S.R. 74 Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge across AIWW,
mile 283.1, at Wrightsville Beach, NC. It has a vertical clearance of
20 feet at mean high water in the closed position. The Cape Fear
Memorial Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge across the Cape Fear River,
mile 26.8, at Wilmington, NC. It has a vertical clearance of 65 feet
above mean high water in the closed position. The Isabel S. Holmes
Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge with a vertical clearance of
40 feet at mean high water in the closed position.
The Coast Guard provided sixty days for review but received no
comments on the NPRM. The Coast Guard is amending 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4)
for the S.R. 74 Bridge, mile 283.1 at Wrightsville Beach, NC to allow
the bridge to remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on
the second Saturday of July of every year. The Coast Guard is amending
33 CFR 117.822 and 33 CFR 117.829(a)(4) for the Cape Fear Memorial
Bridge and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge, respectively, to allow the
bridges to remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the
second Saturday of July of every year from the current closure times of
8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the second Saturday of July of every year. The
amendments to these operating regulations will allow the bridges to
remain in the closed position for the racers of the annual YMCA Tri
Span 5K & 10K races to safely cross the bridges. The Coast Guard will
issue Local Notices to Mariners and Broadcast Notices to Mariners every
year to remind mariners of the annual closures which will allow them to
plan their scheduled transits accordingly.
The changes are expected to have minimal impacts on mariners due to
the short duration that the moveable bridges will be maintained in the
closed position. The races have been reserved in years past with little
to no impact to marine traffic. It is also a necessary measure to
facilitate public safety that allows for the orderly movement of
participants before, during, and after the races.

impact of regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term
