Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 22, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
To encompass the three glycerol ester
of rosins (wood, gum, and tall oil) in the
section heading for § 172.735, the
petitioner has requested, and the agency
concurs, that the section heading for
§ 172.735 should be changed from
Glycerol ester of wood or gum rosin to
Glycerol ester of rosin.
FDA also considered the petitioner’s
request to include steam stripping as an
alternative method to countercurrent
steam distillation (presently listed in
§ 172.735) for purifying the rosin esters
in § 172.735. Steam stripping is the
method listed in the chewing gum base
regulation (§ 172.615) for purifying
GEWR, GEGR, and GETOR. As
additional information, the petitioner
provided the most recent specifications
for GEWR adopted by the Joint Food
and Agriculture Organization/World
Health Organization (FAO/WHO) Expert
Committee on Food Additives (JEFCA,
46th session, 1996), which lists steam
stripping, as well as countercurrent
steam distillation as purification
methods. FDA concludes that steam
stripping is an acceptable method for
purifying the rosin esters in § 172.735
and that this method, along with the
specifications in the regulation, will
ensure that the additive is of suitable
purity for the intended use. Therefore
§ 172.735 is amended to include steam
stripping as a purification method.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Commander, Eighth
Coast Guard District has issued a
temporary deviation from the regulation
governing the operations of the U.S. 165
Bridge, Mile 110.1, Columbia, Louisiana
across the Ouachita River. This
deviation allows the bridge to remain
closed-to-navigation from 8 a.m., August
6, 2007 until its removal from the
waterway on August 31, 2007. The
deviation is necessary in order to
prepare the bridge for demolition.
DATES: This temporary deviation is
effective from 8 a.m., August 6, 2007
until August 31, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Materials referred to in this
document are available for inspection or
copying at Room 2.107F in the Robert A.
Young Federal Building, 1222 Spruce
Street, St. Louis, MO 63103–2832,

scheduled demolition. The U.S. 165
Bridge currently operates in accordance
with 33 CFR 117.483, which requires
the drawbridge to open on signal if at
least one hour notice is given. In order
to facilitate the pre-demolition work, the
drawbridge must be kept in the closedto-navigation position. This deviation
allows the drawbridge to remain closedto-navigation from 8 a.m., August 6,
2007 until August 31, 2007. If the
removal occurs prior to August 31,
2007, we will cancel this deviation via
notice published in the local notice to
mariners.
There are no alternate routes for
vessels transiting this section of the
Ouachita River.
The U.S. 165 Bridge, in the closed-tonavigation position, provides a vertical
clearance of 50.2 feet above normal
pool. Navigation on the waterway
consists primarily of commercial tows
and recreational watercraft. This
temporary deviation has been
coordinated with waterway users. No
objections were received.
At the end of the designated time
period, a Final Rule will be processed
to remove this bridge from 33 CFR
117.483.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for not publishing an NPRM. The Coast
Guard is establishing this temporary
security zone to coordinate security
operations and establish a secure
environment for this highly visible and
publicized event. The publication of an
NPRM is impracticable and contrary to
the public interest as there is not
sufficient time to publish an NPRM and
get comments before issuing a final rule.
Background and Purpose
[Docket No. CGD05–07–080]
ACTION:
people from entering the security zone
and requires vessels and persons in the
security zone to depart the zone, unless
specifically exempt under the
provisions in this rule or granted
specific permission from the Coast
Guard Captain of the Port Baltimore,
Maryland, or his designated
representative.
Jkt 211001
The ongoing hostilities in Afghanistan
and Iraq have made it prudent for U.S.
ports and waterways to be on a higher
state of alert because the al Qaeda
organization and other similar
organizations have declared an ongoing
intention to conduct armed attacks on
U.S. interests worldwide. Due to
increased awareness that future terrorist
attacks are possible, the Coast Guard, as
lead federal agency for maritime
homeland security, has determined that
the Captain of the Port Baltimore must
have the means to be aware of, deter,
detect, intercept, and respond to
asymmetric threats, acts of aggression,
and attacks by terrorists on the
American homeland while still
maintaining our freedoms and
sustaining the flow of commerce. This
security zone is part of a comprehensive
port security regime designed to
safeguard human life, vessels, and
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

waterfront facilities against sabotage or
terrorist attacks.
In this particular rulemaking, to
address the aforementioned security
concerns before, during, and after the
highly-publicized public event, and to
take steps to prevent the catastrophic
impact that a terrorist attack against
high-ranking public officials and the
public at large before, during, and after
a dinner cruise held on the Upper
Potomac River for visiting foreign
dignitaries would have on the public
interest, the Captain of the Port,
Baltimore, Maryland is establishing a
security zone upon waters of the Upper
Potomac River, encompassing an area
100 yards in all directions around the
passenger vessel Odyssey III while
moored, underway or anchored on the
Upper Potomac River. This security
zone will help the Coast Guard to
prevent vessels or persons from
engaging in terrorist actions against a
large number of participants during the
event. Due to these heightened security
concerns, and the catastrophic impact a
terrorist attack on the passenger vessel
Odyssey III would have on the large
number of participants, and the
surrounding area and communities, a
security zone is prudent for this type of
event.
Discussion of Rule
From September 20, 2007, through
September 29, 2007, the U.S. Air Force
Chief of Staff (CSAF) will host the
Global Air Chiefs Conference, in
Washington, DC. In conjunction with
this event, the CSAF has invited his
counterparts from around the world to
attend a dinner cruise on the Upper
Potomac River on board the passenger
vessel Odyssey III. The cruise will occur
on Sunday, September 23, 2007. This
security zone is necessary to prevent
vessels or persons on waters of the
Upper Potomac River, encompassing an
area 100 yards in all directions around
the passenger vessel Odyssey III while
moored, underway or anchored, from
approaching the vessel and thereby
bypassing the security measures for the
event established by the United States
Air Force Office of Special
Investigations. Vessel traffic in the
Upper Potomac River will be restricted.
Except for Public vessels and vessels at
berth, mooring or at anchor, this rule
requires all vessels in the designated
security zone, as defined by this rule,
underway at the time this security zone
is implemented to immediately proceed
out of the security zone. Entry into this
zone is prohibited unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port or his designated
representative. The Captain of the Port
will issue Notices to Mariners to
