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.

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. Kevin J. Eldridge, Rear Admiral, U. S.

AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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.
