day from June 15, 2015 to June 22, 2015.
At all other times the bridge will open
on signal in accordance with its normal
operating regulation. Doing so will
minimize the number of trains required
to idle while awaiting bridge openings.
The BNSF Chambers Creek Railway
Bridge across Chambers Creek, mile 0.0,
near Steilacoom, Washington provides
50 feet of vertical clearance in the raised
position, 10 feet of vertical clearance in
the closed position and 80 feet of
horizontal clearance. Reference plan is
mean high water elevation of 12.2 feet.
The normal operation schedule falls
under 33 CFR 117.5.
This deviation is effective from 7 a.m.
on June 14, 2015 to 5 p.m. on June 22,
2015. The deviation allows the bridge to

at anytime. The bridge will be able to
open for emergencies and there is no
immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass. The Coast Guard will also inform
the users of the waterway of the change
in operating schedule for the bridge

their transits to minimize any impact
caused by the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),

The Department of Veterans

delegating rulemaking authority within
the Office of the General Counsel. The

SUMMARY:
In 2014,
the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
Office of the General Counsel was
restructured, which included changes in
the titles of certain officials involved in
VA’s rulemaking process. Specifically,
matters previously handled by the
single Deputy General Counsel are now
handled by a Principal Deputy General
Counsel and two Deputy General
Counsels. This final rule amends 38

management structure and titles.
