SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Full and
Half Marathon committee on behalf of
the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) has requested
a temporary deviation from the current
operating schedule for the S.R. 74
Bascule Drawbridge across the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), mile
283.1, at Wrightsville Beach, NC. The
requested deviation is to accommodate
the 2012 Quintiles Wrightsville Beach
Full and Half Marathon scheduled for
Sunday, March 18, 2012. To facilitate
this event, the draw of the bridge will
be maintained in the closed-tonavigation position from 5 a.m. until
8 a.m.
The current operating schedule for the
bridge is set out in 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4).
The regulation requires the bridge to
open on signal for vessels at all times
except that from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. the
bridge shall open on the hour; every
third and fourth Saturday in September
the bridge shall remain closed from 7
a.m. until 11 a.m.; and the last Saturday
of October or the first or second
Saturday of November the bridge shall
remain closed from 7 a.m. until 10:30
a.m. The bascule drawbridge has a
vertical clearance of 20 feet above mean
high water (MHW) in the closed
position. Vessels that can pass through
the bridge in the closed position may do
so at any time.
This race is an annual event; therefore
local waterway users should be familiar
with the closure. To ensure that
waterway users are aware of the closure,
the Coast Guard will issue a Local and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners to allow
mariners to schedule their transits
accordingly. There are no alternate
routes available to vessels. Most
waterway traffic consists of recreational
boats with a few barges and tugs in the
daytime. The bridge is able to open for
emergencies.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Figure Eight Beach Homeowners
Association, who owns and operates the
Figure Eight Swing Bridge across the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW),
North Carolina Cut, mile 278.1, at Scotts
Hill, NC, has requested a temporary
deviation from the current operating
regulations set out in 33 CFR
117.821(a)(3), to accommodate
mechanical gear replacement.
SUMMARY:

Under the current operating schedule,
the draw shall open on signal for
commercial vessels at all times and
open on signal for pleasure vessels
except need only open for pleasure
vessels on the hour and half hour.
Figure Eight Swing Bridge, at AIWW
mile 278.1, across the North Carolina
Cut in Scotts Hill, NC, has a vertical
clearance in the closed position to
vessels of 20 feet above mean high
water. During this time of year
approximately two vessels a day transits
the area.
To facilitate mechanical gear
replacement, the drawbridge will be
maintained in the closed-to-navigation
position from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on
February 7 and 8, 2012. The mechanical
gear replacement is scheduled for
February 7, 2012. Under this temporary
deviation, the drawbridge will remain in
the closed position to vessels requiring
an opening from 10 p.m. to 3 p.m.
However, should weather preclude this
work from taking place on February 7,
2012, the work will be re-scheduled to
take place on February 8, 2012. In that
case, the drawbridge will operate as
normal on February 7, 2012 and the
drawbridge will remain in the closed
position to vessels requiring an opening
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on February 8,
2012.
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 not be able to open
in the event of an emergency. The Coast
Guard will inform the users of the
waterway through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
opening restrictions of the draw span to
minimize transiting delays caused by
the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the draw 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.

Anniversary of the Girl Scout Program
Ceremonial walk.
The Isabel S. Holmes Bridge operating
regulations are set out in 33 CFR
117.829(a). However on January 10,
2012 (77 FR 1406) the Coast Guard
granted a deviation from 33 CFR
117.829(a) to facilitate structural repair
on the bridge. Under the current
operating deviation schedule, the

2012; except that vessel openings will
be provided if at least three hours
advance notice is given to the bridge
tender at (910) 251–5774 or via marine
radio on channel 13 VHF. The Isabel S.
Holmes Bridge across the Northeast
Cape Fear River, mile 1.0,a bascule lift
Bridge, in Wilmington, NC, has a
vertical clearance in the closed position
of 40 feet, above mean high water.
Under this temporary deviation, the

the closed-to-navigation position from
10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 10,
2012 to accommodate the 100 year
Anniversary of the Girl Scout Program

Vessels able to pass under the closed
span may transit under the drawbridge
while it is in the closed position.
Mariners are advised to proceed with
caution. The Coast Guard will inform
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.
There are no alternate routes for vessels
and the bridge will be able to open in
the event of an emergency.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
when applicable the draw must return
to its regular operating schedule
immediately at the end of the
designated time period. This deviation

Medical Foster Homes
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This document amends the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
‘‘Medical’’ regulations to add rules
relating to medical foster homes. Prior
to this final rule, VA’s medical foster
home program had, whenever possible
and appropriate, relied upon regulations
governing community residential care
facilities; however, those regulations did
not cover all aspects of medical foster
homes, which provide community
based care in a smaller, residential
facility and to a more medically
complex and disabled population. This
final rule reflects current VA policy and
practice, and generally conforms to
industry standards and expectations.
DATES: Effective date: March 5, 2012.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in this rule
as of March 5, 2012.

Greene, Office of Patient Care Services

toll free number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Many
veterans who are disabled due to
complex chronic disease or traumatic
injury may be unable to live safely and
independently, or may have health care
needs that exceed the capabilities of
their families. Many of these veterans
are placed in nursing homes. Others,
with the proper support, can continue to
live in a residential setting and delay, or
totally avoid, the need for nursing home
care. VA’s community residential care
program, specifically authorized by 38
U.S.C. 1730 and implemented at 38 CFR
17.61 through 17.72, has provided
health care supervision to these
veterans.
A medical foster home is a specific
type of community residential care
facility that provides home-based care to
a small number of residents with serious
chronic disease and disability. A
medical foster home provides a greater
level of care than a community
residential care facility (and in this
respect a medical foster home is more
analogous to a nursing home), while
allowing veterans to live in a home-like

Under the current operating schedule, the draw shall open on signal
