technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or

ACTION:
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 made a preliminary determination
that this action is one of a category of
actions which do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment because it
simply promulgates the operating
regulations or procedures for
drawbridges. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental
impact from this rule.

which allows for the bridge to remain
closed between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and

and need not open for maritime traffic
from 8 a.m. through 11:15 a.m. on April
15, 2012. The bridge shall operate in

other times. Waterway usage on this

vessels ranging from commercial tug
and barge to small pleasure craft.
Mariners will be notified and kept
informed of the bridge’s operational
status via the Coast Guard Notice to
Mariners publication and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners as appropriate. The
draw span will be required to open, if
needed, for vessels engaged in
emergency response operations during

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
