Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy
is amending its certifications and
exemptions under the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at
Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that
the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law)
has determined that USS MESA VERDE
(LPD 19) is a vessel of the Navy which,
due to its special construction and
purpose, cannot fully comply with
certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS
without interfering with its special
function as a naval ship. The intended
effect of this rule is to warn mariners in
waters where 72 COLREGS apply.
DATES: Effective Date: February 6, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the Department of the Navy
amends 32 CFR Part 706. This
amendment provides notice that the
Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law),
under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Navy, has certified that
USS MESA VERDE (LPD 19) is a vessel
of the Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with the following specific
provisions of 72 COLREGS without
interfering with its special function as a
naval ship: Rule 27, pertaining to the

pertaining to the vertical separation
between anchor lights. The Deputy
Assistant Judge Advocate General
(Admiralty and Maritime Law) has also
certified that the lights involved are
located in closest possible compliance
with the applicable 72 COLREGS
requirements.
Moreover, it has been determined, in
accordance with 32 CFR Parts 296 and
701, that publication of this amendment
for public comment prior to adoption is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is
based on technical findings that the
placement of lights on this vessel in a
manner different from that prescribed
herein will adversely affect the vessel’s
ability to perform its military functions.

Notice of temporary deviation

AGENCY:
erjones on PRODPC74 with RULES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Commander, Fifth Coast
Guard District, has approved a
temporary deviation from the
regulations governing the operation of
the National Railroad Passenger
Corporation (AMTRAK) Bridge, at mile
1.0, across Susquehanna River at Havre
de Grace, Maryland. This deviation
allows the drawbridge to remain closedto-navigation beginning at 6 p.m. on
March 30, 2007, until and including 6
p.m. on June 8, 2007, to facilitate
structural repairs.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
6 p.m. on March 30, 2007, until 6 p.m.
on June 8, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Materials referred to in this
document are available for inspection or
copying at Commander (dpb), Fifth
Coast Guard District, Federal Building,
1st Floor, 431 Crawford Street,
Portsmouth, VA 23704–5004 between 8
a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays. The
telephone number is (757) 398–6222.
Commander (dpb), Fifth Coast Guard
District maintains the public docket for
this temporary deviation.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill
H. Brazier, Bridge Management
Specialist, Fifth Coast Guard District, at
(757) 398–6422.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
AMTRAK Bridge, a swing-type
drawbridge, has a vertical clearance in
the closed position to vessels of 52 feet,
above mean high water.
AMTRAK, the bridge owner, has
requested a temporary deviation from
the current operating regulation set out
in 33 CFR 117.575 and to close the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
drawbridge to navigation to perform
needed structural repairs.
The repairs will include the renewal
of 3,184 bridge timbers as well as the
installation of new rail and expansion
joints. To facilitate this work, the
AMTRAK Bridge will be maintained in
the closed-to-navigation position
beginning at 6 p.m. on March 30, 2007,
until and including 6 p.m. on June 8,
2007.
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.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the

34 CFR part 280. These amendments
allow the MSAP to use an approach
similar to that in § 75.200 for
establishing selection criteria in grant
competitions. Under this approach the
MSAP has the flexibility to use selection
criteria from its program regulations,
from the menu of general selection
criteria in the Education Department
General Administrative Regulations
(EDGAR) in § 75.210, based on statutory
provisions in accordance with § 75.209,
or from any combination of these.
DATES: These regulations are effective
April 9, 2007.

On August
22, 2006 the Secretary published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
for these amendments in the Federal
Register (71 FR 48866).
In the preamble to the NPRM, the
Secretary discussed on pages 48866 and
48867 the major changes proposed in
that document to provide the MSAP
with the flexibility to use different types
of selection criteria when evaluating
grant applications in a specific grant
competition. These included the
following:
• Amending § 280.30 to give the
Secretary the flexibility to use selection
criteria from § 280.31, from the
approved menu of general selection
criteria in § 75.210 or from selection
criteria based on statutory provisions
governing the MSAP, established in
accordance with § 75.209.
• Amending § 280.31 to remove the
mandatory point values from the
selection criteria in this section of the
MSAP regulations.
There are no differences between the
NPRM and these final regulations.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Analysis of Comments
In response to the Secretary’s
invitation in the NPRM, nine parties
submitted comments on the proposed
regulations. An analysis of the
comments follows.
We discuss substantive issues under
the sections of the regulations to which
they pertain. Generally, we do not
address technical and other minor
changes—and suggested changes the
law does not authorize the Secretary to
make.
Section 280.30 How Does the Secretary
Evaluate an Application?
Comment: Two commenters
expressed the opinion that the current
selection criteria work effectively to
address the MSAP’s statutory purpose
and requirements, and consequently
that a change in approach to permit the
use of other selection criteria is not
needed at this time.
Discussion: The Department proposed
these changes because we have been
constrained in past MSAP competitions
to using only the program selection
criteria in § 280.31, whether or not their
use continues to work well in the
