SUMMARY: The Commander, Eleventh
Coast Guard District, has issued a

Coast Guard District, maintains the
public docket for this temporary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
California Department of Transportation
has requested to temporarily change the
operating procedures for the CA–160

Sacramento River, at Isleton, CA, to
allow single leaf operation, with a 12hour advance notice to the Rio Vista
Drawbridge, from 7 a.m. January 9, 2006

clearance above Mean High Water when
closed. As required by 33 CFR 117.189,
the drawbridge opens on signal from
approaching vessels from 6 a.m. to 10
p.m. May 1 through October 31 and
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. November 1
through April 30. At all other times the
draw shall open if at least 4-hours
advance notice is given.
Numerous waterway users were
consulted prior to the determination. It
was determined that potential
navigational impacts will be reduced if
the repairs are performed November
through March when there is less
recreational boating traffic. The Coast
Guard approved the deviation effective
from 7 a.m. January 9, 2006 through 6
p.m. on February 17, 2006.
During these times, single leaf
operation of the drawspan will be
permitted, with a 12-hour advance
notice.
The drawspan shall resume normal
operation at the conclusion of the
essential repair work. Mariners should
contact the Rio Vista Drawbridge on
VHF–FM Channel 16 or by telephone at
(707) 374–2134, in advance, to
determine conditions at the bridge and
to make passing arrangements.
In the event of an emergency, the
bridge owner would require 15-hour
advance notice to open both leaves of
the bridge. Vessels that can safely pass
through the closed drawbridge may
continue to do so at any time.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c),
this work shall be performed with all
due speed to return the drawbridge to
normal operation as soon as possible.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is approved under the
provisions of 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: November 22, 2005.

Approval and Promulgation of

AGENCY:

ACTION:
Direct final rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final
action to approve a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on
August 15, 2002. This SIP revision
approves the adoption by reference of a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the TCEQ and the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
The MOU is adopted into the Texas rule
at 30 TAC, Chapter 7, Section 119
(Section 7.119). This MOU concerns the
coordination of environmental reviews
associated with transportation projects.
The adoption by reference of this MOU
will streamline coordination between
the TCEQ and TxDOT by consolidating
separate MOUs currently in the air and
water regulations. This action is
important to satisfy the need of the
Commission and TxDOT to coordinate
regulatory programs and to ensure that
overlapping areas of responsibility are
clarified. This approval will make the
MOU revised regulations Federally
enforceable.
This rule is effective on February
10, 2006 without further notice, unless
EPA receives adverse comment by
January 11, 2006. If EPA receives such
comment, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public that this rule will
not take effect.
