Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 131 / Monday, July 9, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
(2) No classified information should
be included within the initial appeal
correspondence. The Executive
Secretary will arrange for the transmittal
of classified information from the
agency after receiving the appeal. If it is
impossible for the appellant to file an
appeal without including classified
information, prior arrangements must be
made by contacting the Panel in one of
the two methods listed above.
(c) Timeliness of appeals. An appeal
to the ISCAP must be filed within 60
days of:
(1) The date of the final agency
decision; or
(2) The agency’s failure to meet the
time frames established in paragraph
(a)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(d) Rejection of appeals. If the
Executive Secretary determines that an
appeal does not meet the requirements
of the Order or these bylaws, the
Executive Secretary notifies the
appellant in writing that the appeal will
not be considered by the ISCAP. The
notification includes an explanation of
why the appeal is deficient.
(e) Preparation of appeals and
creation of appeals files. The Executive
Secretary notifies the senior agency
official or primary member, alternate, or
liaison of the affected agency(ies) when
an appeal is lodged. Under the direction
of the ISCAP, the Executive Secretary
supervises the preparation of an appeal
file, pertinent portions of which are
presented to the members of the Panel
for review prior to a vote on the appeal.
The appeal file eventually includes all
records pertaining to the appeal.
(f) Narrowing appeals. To expedite
the resolution of appeals and minimize
backlogs, the Executive Secretary
consults as relevant with appellants and
agencies to narrow or prioritize the
information subject to the appeal.
(g) Resolution of appeals. The Panel
may vote to affirm the agency’s
decision, to reverse the agency’s
decision in whole or in part, or to
remand the matter to the agency for
further consideration. A decision to
reverse an agency’s decision requires
the affirmative vote of at least a majority
of the members present. In
circumstances in which members
abstain from voting, a Panel decision to
reverse an agency’s classification
decision requires the affirmative vote of
at least a majority of the members
present.
(h) Notification. The Executive
Secretary promptly notifies the
appellant and designated senior agency
official in writing of the Panel’s
decision.
(i) Agency appeals. Within 60 days of
receipt of an ISCAP decision that
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
reverses a final agency decision, the
agency head may petition the President
through the National Security Advisor
to overrule the Panel’s decision.
(j) Protection of classified
information. All persons involved in the
appeal will make every effort to
minimize the inclusion of classified
information in the appeal file. Any
classified information contained in the
appeal file is handled and protected in
accordance with the Order and its
implementing directives. Information
that is subject to an appeal from an
agency decision denying
declassification under the mandatory
review provisions of the Order remains
classified unless and until a final
decision is made to declassify it.
(k) Maintenance and disposition of
file. The Executive Secretary shall
maintain the appeal file among the
ISCAP’s records in accordance with 44
U.S.C. 2201–2207 (Presidential Records
Act).
§ 2003.14 Dissemination of ISCAP
decisions.
The Executive Secretary informs
senior agency officials and the public of
final ISCAP decisions on appeals under
sections 1.8 and 3.5 of the Order.
§ 2003.15
Additional functions.
As directed by the President through
the National Security Advisor, the
ISCAP performs such additional
advisory functions as are consistent
with, and supportive of, the successful
implementation of the Order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Norfolk Southern Railroad requested a
temporary deviation for the Southern
Railroad Drawbridge, across the
Tennessee River, mile 304.4, at Decatur,
AL.
The vertical clearance of the bridge in
the closed position is 10.5 feet. The
bridge opens on request or by signal as
required by 33 CFR 117.5. The deviation
period is from 8:00 a.m. to noon and
from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. July 16

activity on the bridge.
Vessel traffic consists of commercial
tows ranging from a single barge to 15barges and approximately six openings
during the deviation period could
normally occur. This deviation was
coordinated with the commercial
waterway users and no objections were
expressed. The bridge, in the closed
position, does not provide ample
clearance for vessels to pass beneath

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Metro
North (Peck) Bridge, across the
Pequonnock River, mile 0.3, at
Bridgeport, CT, has a vertical clearance
in the closed position of 26 feet at mean
high water and 32 feet at mean low
water. The drawbridge operation
regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.219(b).
The operator of the bridge, Metro
North Railroad, requested a temporary
deviation from the regulations to
facilitate bridge maintenance, miter rail
repair, at the bridge. While conducting
repairs during a temporary deviation
from April 15, 2012 to June 30, 2012,
Metro North Railroad discovered that a
separate track of rail needed repair. This
was unknown during the original
project planning.
The waterway users are recreational
vessels and commercial lobster boats.
The Metro North (Peck) Bridge rarely
opens for vessel traffic. The bridge has
received no requests to open during the
past several years except for bridge
testing and repairs.
Under this temporary deviation the
Metro North (Peck) Bridge may remain
in the closed position from July 9, 2012
through September 30, 2012. Vessels
that can pass under the bridge in the
closed position may do so at all times.
The waterway users were advised of
the requested bridge closure and offered
no objection.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the bridge 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.
Dated: June 22, 2012.

Bridge Program Manager, First Coast Guard
District.
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone on
Lake Erie, Conneaut, OH. This safety
zone is intended to restrict vessels from

necessary to protect spectators and

BILLING CODE 9110–04–P
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing
so would be impracticable and contrary
to the public interest. The final details
