The BNSF
Railway Company has requested a
temporary deviation in order to replace
the railroad signal circuits of the BNSF
Railway Railroad Vertical Lift Span
Bridge across Berwick Bay, mile 0.4
(Atchafalaya River, mile 17.5) at Morgan
City, St. Mary Parish, Louisiana.
Replacement of the signal circuits is
necessary to turn the lining of signals
across the bridge into a fully automatic
operation so that the bridge will be in
full compliance with requirements of
the Federal Railroad Administration.
This temporary deviation will allow the
bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position from 8 a.m. until 4
p.m. on Wednesday, June 8, 2005. There
may be times, during the closure period,
when the draw will not be able to open
for emergencies.
The bridge provides 4 feet of vertical
clearance in the closed-to-navigation
position. Thus, most vessels will not be
able to transit through the bridge site
when the bridge is closed. Navigation
on the waterway consists of tugs with
tows, fishing vessels and recreational
craft including sailboats and
powerboats. Due to prior experience, as
well as coordination with waterway
users, it has been determined that this
closure will not have a significant effect
on these vessels.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c),
this work will be performed with all due
speed in order to return the bridge to
normal operation as soon as possible.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.

the Pascagoula River, mile 1.5, at
Pascagoula, Jackson County,
Mississippi. This deviation allows the
bridge to remain closed to navigation
during the morning and afternoon time
periods for four consecutive days.
During the second day of the deviation,
the bridge will remain closed to
navigation continuously for ten hours.
The deviation is necessary to repair the
drive motor and associated hydraulic
components of the draw span operating
mechanism.

8 a.m. on Monday June 13, 2005 until

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CSX
Transportation Company has requested
a temporary deviation in order to repair
the main drive motor and associated
hydraulic components of the operating
mechanism of the CSX Transportation
Railroad Bascule Span Bridge across the
Pascagoula River, mile 1.5, at
Pascagoula, Jackson County,
Mississippi. This temporary deviation
will allow the bridge to remain in the
closed-to-navigation position from 8
a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
on Monday, June 13, 2005, Wednesday,
June 15, 2005, and Thursday, June 16,
2005. On Tuesday, June 14, 2005, the
bridge will remain closed to navigation
continuously from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. to
facilitate installation of a shaft. A
temporary deviation was previously
approved to complete these repairs in
March 2005; however, the required
replacement parts were unavailable. The
bridge owner has obtained all of the
required parts and is now ready to
complete the repairs. The repairs are
necessary for continued safe operation
of the draw span.
As the bridge has no vertical
clearance in the closed-to-navigation
position, vessels will not be able to
transit through the bridge site when the
bridge is closed. Navigation on the
waterway consists of small cargo ships,
tugs with tows, fishing vessels and

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone on
the St. Johns River in Palatka, FL for the
Blue Crab Festival. This rule is needed
to protect participants, vendors, and
spectators from the hazards associated
with the launching of fireworks from a
pier over water. Entry into or movement
within this zone is prohibited without
approval of the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville.
This rule is effective from 8:45
p.m. to 9:45 p.m. on May 27, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in
this preamble as being available in the
docket, are part of docket [COTP
Jacksonville 05–050] and are available
for inspection and copying at Coast
Guard Marine Safety Office Jacksonville,
7820 Arlington Expressway, Suite 400,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
VerDate jul<14>2003
17:15 May 23, 2005
Jkt 205001
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for not publishing a NRPM. Publishing
a NPRM, which would incorporate a
comment period before a final rule
could be issued, and delaying the rule’s
effective date is contrary to public safety
because immediate action is necessary
to protect the public and waters of the
United States.
For the same reasons, 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. The
Coast Guard will issue a broadcast
notice to mariners and may place Coast
Guard vessels in the vicinity of this
zone to advise mariners of the
restriction.
Background and Purpose
This rule is needed to protect
spectator craft in the vicinity of the
fireworks presentation from the hazards
associated with transport, storage, and
launching of fireworks. Anchoring,
mooring, or transiting within this zone
is prohibited, unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port, Jacksonville, FL.
The temporary safety zone encompasses
all waters within a 500-yard radius
around the pier from which fireworks
will be launched, located at position
29°38.62′ N, 081°37.84′ W.
Regulatory Evaluation
This regulation is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential cost
and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that
Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has exempted it from review
under the order. It is not significant
under the regulatory policies and
procedures of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) because these
regulations will only be in effect for a
short period of time, and the impacts on
routine navigation are expected to be
minimal.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we considered
whether this rule would have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
‘‘Small entities’’ include small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominate in their
field, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under
section 5 U.S.C. 605 (b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
29623
impact upon a substantial number of
small entities because the regulation
will only be enforced for approximately
one hour the day it is in effect and the
impact on routine navigation are
expected to be minimal because traffic
may transit safely around the zone and
traffic may enter upon permission of the
Captain of the Port or his representative.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–
121), we offer to assist small entities in
understanding the rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects on them and
participate in the rulemaking process. If
the rule will affect your small business,
organization, or government jurisdiction
and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT for
assistance in understanding this rule.
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 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).
Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on State or local governments and
would either preempt State law or
impose a substantial direct cost of
compliance on them. We have analyzed
this rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
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 my result in the expenditure by
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year.
Although this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
