schedule of the Hatchett Creek (US–41)
Twin Bridges will allow the 8 hour,
Sarasota Iron Man Triathlon to occur
annually without being interrupted.
This event is anticipated to be
scheduled annually on the second
Sunday of November, from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m.
DATES: This rule is effective August 18,
2014.

A. Regulatory History and Information
On November 21, 2013, we published
a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled, ‘‘Drawbridge
Operation Regulations; Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway, Venice, FL’’ in the Federal
Register (78 FR 69803). No comments
on the proposed rule were received. No
public meeting was requested or held.
B. Basis and Purpose
The changes will have a minor impact
on vessels transiting the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway in the vicinity of
Venice, Florida, but will still meet the
reasonable needs to navigation. This
action will accommodate the Sarasota
Iron Man Triathlon held annually on the
second Sunday of November.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes
and the Final Rule
No comments were received. This
rule will allow the Hatchett Creek
Bridge to remain closed to navigation
for eight hours for an annual event. This
rule will revise paragraph (b) in 33 CFR
117.287 to include this eight hour
closure for the second Sunday in
November annually. The Hatchett Creek
(US–41) Bridge provides a vertical
clearance of 16 feet at mean high water
in the closed position and a horizontal
clearance of 90 feet. Vessels with a
height of less than 16 feet may pass
through the bridge at any time. The Gulf
of Mexico is the only alternative route,
and this route would be unacceptable
for certain classes of vessels such as tugs
and barges.
D. Regulatory Analyses
The rule was developed after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below is a summary of the analysis
based on the aforementioned statutes
and executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review. It
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The
Office of Management and Budget has
not reviewed it under those Orders.
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action because it will only
have a minor impact on vessels
transiting the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway in the vicinity of Venice,
Florida and it will still meet the
reasonable needs of navigation.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 137 / Thursday, July 17, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
2. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires federal agencies to consider the
potential impact of regulations on small
entities during rulemaking. The term
‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard received no comments
from the Small Business Administration
on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies
under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities.
This rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels needing the draw to open for
safe transit under the bridge from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. on the second Sunday of
November each year.
This action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the
following reasons. This rule will be in
effect for eight hours annually. Vessels
that can safely transit under the bridge
may do so at any time. Before the
effective period, the Coast Guard will
issue maritime advisories widely
available to users of the river.

3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places or vessels.
7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under Executive Order
13211, Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, the use of
voluntary consensus standards was not
considered.
14. Environment
After analyzing 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), it has
been concluded that this action is
among a category of actions, that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule simply
promulgates the operating regulations or
procedures for drawbridges. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Metro
North WALK Bridge, mile 0.1, across
the Norwalk River at Norwalk,
Connecticut, has a vertical clearance in
the closed position of 16 feet at mean
high water and 23 feet at mean low
water. The drawbridge operation
regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.217(b).
The waterway users are seasonal
recreational vessels and commercial
vessels of various sizes.
The owner of the bridge, Connecticut
Department of Transportation, requested
a temporary deviation from the
regulations from July 4, 2014 through
December 30, 2014, to allow the bridge
to open after an eight-hour advance
notice is given to help facilitate
necessary electrical and mechanical
maintenance and repairs at the bridge.
The Coast Guard will work with
Connecticut Department of
Transportation and Metro North to
develop a long term repair schedule
during this initial temporary deviation
time period.
Under this temporary deviation, in
effect from July 4, 2014 through
December 30, 2014, the Metro North
WALK Bridge at mile 0.1, across the
Norwalk River, at Norwalk, Connecticut
shall open after at least an eight-hour
advance notice is given as follows:
(1) From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., a
maximum of one opening each day
Monday through Friday, excluding
holidays.
(2) From 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., a maximum

Vessels that can pass under the bridge
in the closed position may do so at any
time. There are no alternate routes. The
bridge can open in the event of an
emergency situation.
Vessel operators will be notified of
these changes to the bridge operating
schedule through a Local Notice to
Mariners publication and a Safety
Marine Information Broadcast (SMIB)
issued by the Coast Guard so that
vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the
temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
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.

regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations

Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal

4. Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, the use of
voluntary consensus standards was not considered.
14. Environment
After analyzing 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), it has been concluded
that this action is among a category of actions, that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule simply promulgates the operating regulations or
procedures for drawbridges. 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.
