SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 2, 2010, we published an
NPRM entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation
Regulation Curtis Creek, Baltimore, MD’’
in the Federal Register (75 FR 30747–
30750). The rulemaking concerned
eliminating the need for a bridge tender
by allowing the bridge to be operated
from a remote location at the City of
Baltimore Transportation Management
Center. This proposed change would
have maintained the bridge’s current
operating schedule set forth in 33 CFR
117.5 that states: Drawbridges shall
open promptly and fully for the passage
of vessels when a request to open is
given.
Withdrawal
The City of Baltimore, the owner of
the Pennington Avenue Bridge, had
requested a change in the operating
procedures to allow the bridge to be
opened from a remote location at the
City of Baltimore Transportation
Management Center.
The Coast Guard received several
comments opposing the proposed rule
change. We conducted a lengthy and
thorough investigation that included a
site visit of the bridge and the Baltimore
City Transportation Management
Center. We also conducted a meeting at
the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, MD
with the primary waterway users that

Frm 00022

Sfmt 4702

transit the bridge, staff from the City of
Baltimore’s Transportation division, and
their contracted consulting company.
Our investigation along with the
majority of the comments revealed that
the rulemaking could impose critical
service delays to the various industries
that rely on a timely bridge opening.
This withdrawal is based on the reason
that this change would not improve the
bridge usage for roadway and waterway
users.
Authority: This action is taken under the
authority of 33 U.S.C. 499; 33 CFR 1.05–1;

U.S. Paralympics Monthly Assistance
Allowance
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This document proposes to
establish regulations for the payment of
a monthly assistance allowance to
military veterans training to make the
United States Paralympics team, as
authorized by section 703 of the
Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act of
2008. The proposed rule would
facilitate the payment of a monthly
assistance allowance to a veteran with a
service-connected or nonserviceconnected disability if the veteran is
competing for a slot on or selected for
the United States Paralympics team or is
residing at a United States Paralympics
training center. The proposed rule
would require submission of an
application to establish eligibility for
the allowance and certification by the
United States Paralympics.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before October 4, 2010.
