Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 219 / Monday, November 14, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
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.
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
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. 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.

or, if the vessel cannot reach the draw
exactly on the hour, the drawtender may
delay the hourly opening up to ten
minutes past the hour.
In the closed position to vessels, this
lift-type drawbridge provides a vertical
clearance of 8.5 feet, above mean high
water.
The Chesapeake annual Christmas
parade event is scheduled for December
3, 2011. Under this temporary deviation,
the drawbridge will remain in the
closed position to vessels requiring an
opening from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and from
8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on December 3, 2011.
And, operations on December 4, 2011
will take place as set out in 33 CFR
117.997(g). However, should weather
preclude this event from taking place on
December 3, 2011, the event will be rescheduled to take place on December 4,
2011. In that case, the drawbridge will
operate as normal on December 3, 2011
and the drawbridge will remain in the
closed position to vessels requiring an
opening from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from
7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on December 4, 2011.
At all other times during the effective
period of this temporary deviation, the
drawbridge will operate as outlined at
33 CFR 117.997(g).
Vessels may transit under the
drawbridge while it is in the closed
position. The Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway caters to a variety of vessels
from tug and barge traffic to recreational
vessels traveling from Florida to Maine.
The Coast Guard will inform
unexpected users of the waterway
through our local and broadcast Notices
to Mariners of the limited operating
schedule for the drawbridge so that
vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impacts caused by the
temporary deviation. The Atlantic
Ocean is the alternate route for vessels
and the bridge will be able to open in
the event of an emergency.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the draw must return to its original
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.
