The U.S.
Army Rock Island Arsenal requested a
temporary deviation for the Rock Island
Railroad and Highway Drawbridge, mile
482.9, at Rock Island, Illinois across the
Upper Mississippi River. It has a
vertical clearance of 23.8 feet above
normal pool in the closed-to-navigation
position. Navigation on the waterway
consists primarily of commercial tows
and recreational watercraft. The Rock
Island Railroad and Highway
Drawbridge currently operates in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, which
states the general requirement that
drawbridges shall open promptly and
fully for the passage of vessels when a
request to open is given in accordance
with the subpart.
The deviation period is from 5 a.m. on
September 14, 2016 to 5 a.m. on
September 15, 2016 when the draw span
will remain in the closed-to-navigation
position. During this time the bridge
owner will facilitate critical repairs to
the locking mechanisms on the rail deck
of the bridge that are essential to the
continued safe operation of the
drawbridge. The bridge will not be able
to open for emergencies and there is no
immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass this section of the Upper
Mississippi River. The Coast Guard will
also inform the users of the waterway
through our Local and Broadcast
Notices to Mariners of the change in
operating schedule for the bridge 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.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:

oversight in the delegation of authority

rights and liabilities arising therefrom.
This document also incorporates into
regulatory form delegatory authority
already granted certain VA loan

DATES: Effective Date: August 29, 2016.

Bell III, Assistant Director for Loan
Policy and Valuation (262), Veterans

amending 38 CFR 36.4345(b)(1),

Under Secretary for Benefits and Deputy
Under Secretary for Economic
Opportunity to the list of VA employees

promulgated. VA inadvertently omitted

of Deputy Director, Assistant Director,
and Realty Officer Loan Guaranty
Service. Accordingly, VA is amending
this regulatory provision to add these
positions to the list of VA employees to
whom the authority to exercise the
powers and functions of the Secretary
with respect to the guaranty or
insurance of loans and the rights and
liabilities arising therefrom.
VA is removing from 38 CFR
