The last amendment to 33 CFR 207.718 January 26, 2000 (65 FR 4125). This proposed rule is not a major rule for the purposes of Executive Order 12866. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Corps of Engineers certifies that this proposed rule would not have a significant impact on small business entities. List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 207 Navigation (water), Vessels, Water Transportation, Danger Zones. Dated: October 11, 2005. Gerald W. Barnes, Chief, Operations, Directorate of Civil Works. For the reasons stated above, the Corps proposes to amend 33 CFR part 207 as follows: PART 207—NAVIGATION REGULATIONS 1. The authority citation for part 207 continues to read as follows: Authority: 40 Stat. 266 (33 U.S.C. 1). 2. Amend § 207.718 by revising paragraphs (b), (d)(3), (e), (f)(1), (j) and (w)(7) to read as follows. § 207.718 Navigation locks and approach channels, Columbia and Snake Rivers, Oreg. and Wash. * * * * * (b) Lockage control. The Lock Master shall be charged with immediate control and management of the lock, and of the area set aside as the lock area, including the lock approach channels. Upstream and downstream approach channels extend to the end of the wing or the guide wall, whichever is longer. At Bonneville lock the upstream approach channel extends to the mooring tie offs at Fort Rains and the downstream approach channel extends to the downstream tip of Robins Island. The Lock Master shall demand compliance with all laws, rules and regulations for the use of the lock and lock area and is authorized to issue necessary orders and directions, both to employees of the Government or to other persons within the limits of the lock or lock area, whether navigating the lock or not. Use of lock facilities is contingent upon compliance with regulations, Lock Master instructions and the safety of people and property. * * * * * (d) * * * (3) Entering and exit signals. Signal lights are located outside each lock gate. When the green (go) light is on, all VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:14 Oct 21, 2005 Jkt 208001 vessels will enter in the sequence prescribed by the Lock Master. When the red (stop) light is on, the lock is not ready for entrance and vessels shall stand clear. In addition to the above visual signals, the Lock Master will signal that the lock is ready for entrance by sounding one long blast on the lock air horn. The Lock Master will signal that the lock is ready for exit by lighting the green exit light and sounding one short blast on the air horn. * * * * * (e) Permissible dimensions of vessels. Nominal overall dimensions of vessels allowed in the lock chamber are 84 feet wide and 650 feet long. Depth of water in the lock depends upon river levels which may vary from day to day. Staff gauges showing the minimum water level depth over gate sills are located inside the lock chamber near each lock gate and outside the lock chamber near the end of both upstream and downstream guide walls, except at Bonneville where the staff gauges show water levels in feet above MSL and are located on the southern guide walls at the upstream and downstream miter gates. Bonneville’s upstream sill elevation is 51 feet MSL and the downstream sill elevation is—12 feet MSL. Depth over sill at Bonneville is determined by subtracting the sill elevation from the gauge reading. Vessels shall not enter the navigation lock unless the vessel draft is at least one foot less than the water depth over the sill. Information concerning allowable draft for vessel passage through the locks may be obtained from the Lock Master. Minimum lock chamber water level depth is 15 feet except at Ice Harbor where it is 14 feet and at Bonneville where it is 19 feet. When the river flow at Lower Granite exceeds 330,000 cubic feet per second the normal minimum 15-foot depth may be decreased to as little as eight feet. * * * * * (f) * * * (1) When a recreational vessel lockage schedule is in effect, at the appointed time for lockage of recreation craft, recreation craft shall take precedence; however, commercial vessels may be locked through with recreation craft if safety and space permit. At other than the appointed time, the lockage of commercial and tow vessels shall take precedence and recreational craft may (only) lock through with commercial vessels only as provided in paragraph (h) of this section. * * * * * (j) Waiting for lockage. Vessels waiting for lockage shall wait in the clear outside of the lock approach PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 channel, or contingent upon permission by the Lock Master, may at their own risk, lie inside the approach channel at a place specified by the Lock Master. At Bonneville, vessels may at their own risk, lay-to at the downstream moorage facility on the north shore downstream from the north guide wall provided a 100-foot-wide open channel is maintained. * * * * * (w) * * * (7) At Little Goose Lock and Dam. The waters restricted to all vessels, except Government vessels, are described as all waters commencing at the upstream of the navigation lock guidewall and running in a direction of 60°37′ true for a distance of 676 yards; thence 345°26′ true for a distance of 494 yards; thence 262°37′47″ true to the dam embankment shoreline. The downstream limits commence 512 yards downstream and at right angles to the axis of the dam on the south shore; thence parallel to the axis of the dam to the north shore. Signs designate the restricted areas. * * * * * [FR Doc. 05–21171 Filed 10–21–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3710–92–P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [R01–OAR–2005–ME–0004; A–1–FRL–7982– 4] Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Maine; Consumer Products Regulation Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
