Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has not designated it as a significant
energy action. Therefore, it does not
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.1D
which guides the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded that this action is one
of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. Therefore this rule is
categorically excluded, under figure 2–
1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
Under figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e), of
the Instruction, an environmental
analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination are not
required for this rule.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:
Caltrans
requested a temporary change to the
operation of the California Route 160
Drawbridge, mile 0.1, Three Mile
Slough, near Rio Vista, CA. The
drawbridge navigation span provides a
vertical clearance of 12 feet above Mean
High Water in the closed-to-navigation
position. The drawbridge opens on
signal as required by 33 CFR 117.5.
Navigation on the waterway is
commercial and recreational.
The drawbridge will be secured in the
closed-to-navigation position from 8
a.m. through 4 p.m. Monday through
Friday, from October 15, 2009 through
November 4, 2009, to allow Caltrans to
replace the industrial staircase leading
to the control house. At all other times
during this period the drawbridge will
open on signal as required by 33 CFR
117.5. This temporary deviation has
been coordinated with commercial and
recreational waterway users. There is no
anticipated levee maintenance during
this deviation period. No objections to
the proposed temporary deviation were
raised.
Vessels that can transit the
drawbridge, while in the closed-tonavigation position, may continue to do
so at any time.
In the event of an emergency the
drawbridge can be opened with 4 hours
advance notice.
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.
