SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Navy requested a temporary rule changing the operation of the State Route 23 vertical lift span drawbridge. The change accommodates the additional volume of vehicular traffic that the N’Awlins Air Show generates each year. A large amount of the general public is expected to attend the New Orleans Open House Air Show on each day. The change allows for the expeditious dispersal of the heavy volume of vehicular traffic expected to depart the Naval Air Station, Joint Reserve Base following the event. This event has been held annually on or about the last weekend in October but has not been held since Hurricane Katrina. This year, the event is being held on the weekend of May 1–3, 2009. This temporary deviation will allow the bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position from 3:30 p.m. until 6:45 p.m. on Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2, 2009 and from 3:30 p.m. until 7:45 p.m. on Sunday, May 3, 2009. The State Route 23 vertical lift span drawbridge across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Algiers Alternate Route), mile 3.8, at Belle Chasse, Louisiana has a vertical clearance of 40 feet above mean high water in the closed-tonavigation position and 100 feet above mean high water in the open-tonavigation position. Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of tugs with tows, commercial fishing vessels, and occasional recreational craft. VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:30 Mar 10, 2009 Jkt 217001 Mariners may use the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Harvey Canal) to avoid unnecessary delays. The Coast Guard has coordinated the closure with waterway users, industry, and other Coast Guard units. It has been determined that this closure will not have a significant effect on vessel traffic. 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. Dated: February 20, 2009. David M. Frank, Bridge Administrator. [FR Doc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule of the State Route 56 Swing Bridge across Boudreaux Canal, mile 0.1, near Chauvin, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The closure is necessary to allow for repairs to the bridge. The contractor plans to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week until the work is completed. To facilitate the movement of vessels during the maintenance work, the bridge will open for the passage of vessels daily from 6 a.m. until 7 a.m.; from noon until 1 p.m.; and from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. Additionally, the bridge will open for the passage of vessels at 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. daily for any vessels standing by at the bridge. The vertical clearance of the swing bridge in the closed-to-navigation position is 5.2 feet and unlimited in the open-to-navigation position. If for any reason, the contractor is not working during this period, the bridge will be returned to normal operation and must open on signal. If the maintenance work is completed prior to May 31, 2009, the bridge will be returned to normal operation. The bridge owner will keep the Coast Guard informed as to any change in the schedule so that proper notices to mariners may be issued informing the public of changes to the operation of the bridge. Presently, the bridge opens on signal in accordance with 33 CFR 117.5. This deviation will allow the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position from 7 a.m. on Monday, March 9, 2009 through 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, 2009; however, the bridge must open on signal for the passage of vessels from 6 a.m. until 7 a.m.; from noon until 1 p.m. and from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. daily. Additionally, the bridge must open on signal for any vessels standing by at 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. daily. During the closure periods all the mechanical machinery used for operating the movable span will be changed.

Mr. Huey can be reached via e-mail at Huey.joel@epa.gov or phone at (404) 562–9104. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA uses https://www.regulations.gov to provide VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:30 Mar 10, 2009 Jkt 217001 the public with access to pertinent documents related to EPA actions for SIP revisions. In general, each action has a hard copy paper docket and an electronic docket which includes information such as: the state’s submission and supporting documentation; EPA’s rulemaking and correspondences related to the SIP revision; public comments provided for the SIP revision during the open public comment period; and other pertinent documentation related to the rulemaking action. The process for generating the electronic docket includes uploading pertinent documents into the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS), and then taking action to make these documents available electronically to the public on https://www.regulations.gov upon publication of EPA’s rulemaking action in the Federal Register. The general public cannot view documents until they are promoted following publication of the associated Federal Register document. On April 12, 2007, EPA published a proposed rule approving Alabama’s Visible Emissions Rule. At that time, EPA opened a 60 day public comment period, and subsequently extended the comment period an additional 30 days. The comment period for the proposed rule ended on July 11, 2007. All pertinent documents related to EPA’s proposal, comments received during the public comment period and the rulemaking actions were included in FDMS and promoted to https:// www.regulations.gov for public access. Subsequent to the proposal phase, EPA received and generated other pertinent documents related to EPA’s final rulemaking action which was published in the Federal Register on October 15, 2008. The other pertinent documents are as follows: • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0022: Alabama Visible Emissions Final Rule; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0023: Alabama Governor’s letter to the Administrator; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0024: September 11, 2003, ADEM cover letter; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0025: Governor’s letter to the Administrator; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0026: EPA response to November 6, 2007, Governor’s letter; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0027: EPA response to June 17, 2008, Governor’s letter; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0028: Meeting Notes; PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0029: ADEM Letter to EPA R4; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0030: ADEM Letter to Governor; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0031: EPA 2008 prehearing comment letter; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0032: EPA response to Alabama congressional representatives; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0033: Letter from Alabama congressional representatives; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0034: References; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0035: State Implementation Plan Consistency Process Record; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0036: Administrator Memorandum; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0037: Alabama Opacity Region 4 Meeting Notes; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0038: Recording Dust Emission Measurements in the Cement Industry with the FM4 Smoke Density Meter Made by Messrs. Sick and Staub; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0039: ‘‘Emissions from Electrostatic Precipitators,’’ In Electrostatic Preciptator Manual, 332–350; • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0040: Communications with ADEM; and • EPA–R04–OAR–2005–AL–0002– 0041: Region 4 Meeting Notes Continued. In December 2008, EPA received notification of litigation related to EPA’s final rule approving the revisions to Alabama’s Visible Emissions Rule. As EPA prepared the documents needed for the administrative record, EPA compared documents listed in FDMS versus https://www.regulations.gov and noted some discrepancies. After some investigation, it was determined that, while EPA prepared the documents for inclusion in the public electronic docket by uploading the pertinent documents into FDMS, the necessary action to make these documents available to the public through the https:// www.regulations.gov Web site was not taken upon publication of EPA’s final rule on October 15, 2008. The documents that were inadvertently not made available electronically in the docket included all documents provided subsequent to the proposal phase for EPA’s action (see list above). The electronic docket did include documents related to EPA’s proposed rulemaking, which were promoted and made available to the public earlier. EPA’s error related to the promotion of pertinent documents to the final rulemaking action became apparent to E:\FR\FM\11MRR1.SGM 11MRR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Louisiana Department of Transportation and 
Development has requested a temporary deviation from the operating 
schedule of the State Route 56 Swing Bridge across Boudreaux Canal, 
mile 0.1, near Chauvin, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The closure is 
necessary to allow for repairs to the bridge. The contractor plans to 
work 24 hours a day, seven days a week until the work is completed. To 
facilitate the movement of vessels during the maintenance work, the 
bridge will open for the passage of vessels daily from 6 a.m. until 7 
a.m.; from noon until 1 p.m.; and from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. 
Additionally, the bridge will open for the passage of vessels at 10 
p.m. and 2 a.m. daily for any vessels standing by at the bridge.
    The vertical clearance of the swing bridge in the closed-to-
navigation position is 5.2 feet and unlimited in the open-to-navigation 
position. If for any reason, the contractor is not working during this 
period, the bridge will be returned to normal operation and must open 
on signal. If the maintenance work is completed prior to May 31, 2009, 
the bridge will be returned to normal operation. The bridge owner will 
keep the Coast Guard informed as to any change in the schedule so that 
proper notices to mariners may be issued informing the public of 
changes to the operation of the bridge.
    Presently, the bridge opens on signal in accordance with 33 CFR 
117.5. This deviation will allow the bridge to remain in the closed-to-
navigation position from 7 a.m. on Monday, March 9, 2009 through 5 p.m. 
on Saturday, May 9, 2009; however, the bridge must open on signal for 
the passage of vessels from 6 a.m. until 7 a.m.; from noon until 1 p.m. 
and from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. daily. Additionally, the bridge must open 
on signal for any vessels standing by at 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. daily. 
During the closure periods all the mechanical machinery used for 
operating the movable span will be changed. Navigation on the waterway 
consists of tugs with tows, fishing vessels and recreational craft. Due 
to prior experience and coordination with waterway users it has been 
determined

[[Page 10488]]

that this closure will not have a significant effect on these vessels.
    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.
