Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 145 / Friday, July 29, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies. This rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
We have analyzed this rule under
Commandant Instruction M16475.1D,
which guides the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors
in this case that would limit the use of
a categorical exclusion under section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this
rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e) of the
Instruction, from further environmental
documentation because it deals with
drawbridge operations. Under figure 2–
1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction,
an ‘‘Environmental Analysis Check
List’’ and a final ‘‘Categorical Exclusion
Determination’’ are not required for this
rule.

(b) The draw of the CSX Railroad
Bridge across the Hillsborough River,
mile 0.7, at Tampa, operates as follows:
(1) The bridge is not tended.
(2) The draw is normally in the fully
open position, displaying green lights to
indicate that vessels may pass.
(3) As a train approaches, provided
the marine traffic detection laser
scanners do not detect a vessel under
the draw, the lights change to flashing
red and a horn continuously sounds
while the draw closes. The draw
remains closed until the train passes.
(4) After the train clears the bridge,
the lights continue to flash red and the
horn again continuously sounds while
the draw opens, until the draw is fully
open and the lights return to green.

Notice of temporary deviation
from regulations.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Commander, Fifth Coast
Guard District, has approved a
temporary deviation from the
regulations governing the operation of
the Onslow Beach Swing Bridge across
the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
(AICW), mile 240.7, at Camp Lejeune,
NC. This deviation allows the
drawbridge to remain closed-tonavigation each day from 11 p.m. to 9
a.m., beginning October 6 until
November 11, 2005, to facilitate
sandblasting and painting.
DATES: The deviation is effective from
11 p.m. on October 6 to 9 a.m. on
November 11, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary
Heyer, Bridge Management Specialist,
Fifth Coast Guard District, at (757) 398–

Navy and the Marine Corps Base at
Camp Lejeune military reservation,
located adjacent to Jacksonville, North
Carolina. The current regulations at 33
CFR § 117.821(a)(2), require the Onslow
Beach Swing Bridge to open on signal
for commercial vessels at all times; and
on signal for pleasure vessels, except
between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., the draw
need only open on the hour and halfhour.
The U.S. Navy has hired a contractor
to sandblast and paint the bridge. This
work will utilize an encapsulation unit
that will immobilize the operation of the
swing span. To facilitate the work, the
swing span will be closed-to-navigation
each day from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. on
October 6, 2005 until and including
November 11, 2005. At all other times,
the bridge will operate in accordance
with 33 CFR § 117.821(a)(2).
The Coast Guard has informed the
known users of the waterway of the
closure periods for the bridge so that
these vessels can arrange their transits
to minimize any impact caused by the
temporary deviation.
The District Commander has granted
a temporary deviation from the
operating requirements listed in 33 CFR
§ 117.35 for the purpose of repair
completion of the drawbridge. The
temporary deviation allows the Onslow
Beach Swing Bridge across the AICW,
mile 240.7, at Camp Lejeune, NC, to
remain closed-to-navigation each day
from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. on October 6,
2005 until November 11, 2005.
Dated: July 22, 2005.
