FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The BNSF
Railway Company requested a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule on the the Galveston
Causeway Railroad Vertical Lift Bridge
across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway,
mile 357.2 west of Harvey Locks, at
Galveston, Galveston County, Texas.
The bridge has a vertical clearance of
8.0 feet above mean high water,
elevation 3.0 feet NAVD88, in the
closed-to-navigation position and 73
feet above mean high water in the opento-navigation position. In accordance
with 33 CFR 117.5, the draw shall open
on signal for the passage of vessels.
This temporary deviation allows the
vertical lift bridge to remain closed to
navigation from 7 a.m. through 5 p.m.,
March 24 through March 28, 2014. The
bridge will operate normally at all other
times. During this deviation, the bridge
owner will complete periodic
maintenance requirements and grease
all operating cables of the bridge.
Navigation at the site of the bridge
consists mainly of tows with barges and
some recreational pleasure craft. Based
on known waterway users, as well as
coordination with those waterway users,
it has been determined that this closure
will not have a significant effect on
these vessels. No alternate routes are
available.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35,
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.

navigation for six consecutive weeks
from 5:30 a.m. on Monday March 24,
2014 through 7 p.m. on Friday, May 2,
2014 to facilitate the replacement of
electrical components of the bridge.
Presently, in accordance with 33 CFR
117.467(b), the draw of the Greater New
Orleans Expressway Commission
Causeway bascule bridge shall open on
signal if at least three hours notice is
given; except that the draw need not be
open for the passage of vessels Monday
through Fridays except Federal
holidays, from 5:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.. The draw will
open on signal for any vessel in distress
or vessel waiting immediately following
the closures listed above.
The bascule span provides a vertical
clearance of 42.6 feet above mean high
water, elevation 2.6 feet NGVD in the
closed-to-navigation position, and
unlimited clearance in the open-tonavigation position. During the closure
period, the bridge will not be able to
open for vessels to transit through the
bascule spans of the bridge. In case of
an emergency, the bridge owner will be
able to hand crank the draws of the
bridge to the open-to-navigation
position. As an alternate route, the
south channel fixed spans of the bridge
provide a vertical clearance of 50 feet
above mean high water. Navigation on
the waterway consists of small tugs with
tows, fishing vessels, sailing vessels,
and other recreational craft.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35,
the draw bridge must return to its
regular operating schedule immediately
at the end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 11, 2013, VA published in the
Federal Register (78 FR 9589) an
interim final rule promulgating 38 CFR
1.483 and 1.515, regulations to
implement certain provisions of 38
U.S.C. 5701 and 7332. The interim final
rule authorized VA to disclose certain
types of information about veterans to
PDMPs. The types of information that
VA is authorized to disclose to PDMPs
include demographic information of
veterans and dependents of veterans
who are prescribed a controlled
substance, information about the
prescribed controlled substances, and
prescriber information. Interested
persons were invited to submit
comments on or before April 12, 2013,
and we received 2 comments. Both
comments expressed support for the
interim final rule and do not
recommend any changes to the rule.
One commenter suggested that VA focus
on the states with a high veteran
population and work with the Office of
National Drug Control Policy. We
appreciate the commenter’s suggestion.
VA will take this suggestion into
consideration. Based on the rationale set
forth in the interim final rule, we adopt
the interim final rule as a final rule
without change.
