Second, final § 1910.27(b)(1)(i) requires, before any rope descent system is used, that the building owner inform the employer in writing that the building owner has identified, tested, certified, and maintained each anchorage so it is capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (268 kg), in any direction for each employee attached. The information must be based on an annual inspection by a qualified person and certification of each anchorage by a qualified person, as necessary, and at least every 10 years. The information will assure employers and workers that the building owner has inspected, tested and certified the anchorage, which the employer may not own or have any control over, as safe to use. A related provision, final § 1910.27(b)(1)(ii), requires that the employer ensure no employee uses any anchorage before the employer has obtained written information from the building owner indicating that each anchorage meets the requirements of § 1910.27(b)(1)(i). The employer must keep the information for the duration of the job. The information will assure employers and workers that the anchorages employers use, but may not own or have any control over, are safe to use. Third, final § 1910.28(b)(1)(ii) specifies that when employers can demonstrate that it is not feasible or creates a greater hazard to use guardrail, safety net, or personal fall protection systems on residential roofs, they must develop and implement a written fall protection plan that meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.502(k) and training that meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.503(a) and (c). The information collection ensures that employers and workers will know what alternative measures will be used at a given worksite to provide an appropriate level of protection when conventional fall protection is not feasible. These requirements are contained in the Information Collection Request (ICR) approved by OMB under control number 1218–0199, which OSHA included in the final rule published in the Federal Register (81 FR 82978–80). The collections of information in final subpart D are necessary to ensure workers are protected from death or injury from falls from elevated heights. Final subpart I expands the existing collections of information contained in VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:53 Jul 05, 2017 Jkt 241001 the hazard assessment and verification requirements in 29 CFR 1910.132 to include assessments for workers who use personal fall protection systems (29 CFR 1910.140). These requirements are contained in the Information Collection Request (ICR) approved by OMB under control number 1218–0205, which OSHA included in the final rule published in the Federal Register (81 FR 82978–80). Additional public comment on the information collections in the final rule is not necessary. The public already has had the opportunity to comment on the collections of information and OMB has approved them. This revision of § 1910.8 is a purely technical step to increase public awareness of OMB’s approval of the collections of information. § 1910.8 OMB control numbers under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Authority and Signature 33 CFR Part 117 Dorothy Dougherty, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, directed the preparation of this notice under the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506 et seq.) and Secretary of Labor’s Order No. 1–2012 (77 FR 3912).

Under this temporary deviation the Chapel Street Bridge will operate as follows: From 12:01 a.m. July 10, 2017 until 11:59 p.m. July 26, 2017, the Chapel Street Bridge will open for the passage of vessels requiring an opening provided two hours of advance notice is furnished to the owner of the bridge; except that, from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays, the draw need not open for the passage of vessel traffic. The bridge will remain closed to all vessels requiring an opening from 12:01 a.m. July 27, 2017 until 11:59 p.m. August 7, 2017 to facilitate the pouring/curing of new bridge deck material.

Mariners also offered no objection to a ten day closure of the draw in order to complete the necessary deck replacement. The concrete pour and curing process can be accomplished in four days, but a ten day closure period has been requested in order to take inclement weather into account. The bridge will resume operations as soon as the curing process has been completed. Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so at all times. The bridge will be not able to open for emergencies. There is no alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators 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.

Due to project delays prompted by inclement weather and bridge equipment failure, the New York City Department of Transportation has requested that between June 9, 2017 and August 31, 2017 the draw of the Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge remain closed to navigation for a period not to exceed 14 days; the draw will then open for vessels in accordance with established operating regulations for a period not to exceed 7 days, after which the cycle will repeat.

the Mill River, mile 0.4 at New Haven, Connecticut offers mariners a 
vertical clearance of 7.9 feet at mean high water and 14 feet at mean 
low water in the closed position. The existing drawbridge operating 
regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.213(d).
    Under this temporary deviation the Chapel Street Bridge will

26, 2017, the Chapel Street Bridge will open for the passage of vessels 
requiring an opening provided two hours of advance notice is furnished

and 4:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays, the draw need not open for the passage of vessel traffic. The 
bridge will remain closed to all vessels requiring an opening from 
12:01 a.m. July 27, 2017 until 11:59 p.m. August 7, 2017 to facilitate 
the pouring/curing of new bridge deck material. From 12:01 a.m. August 
8, 2017 until 11:59 p.m. September 9, 2017 the bridge will open for the

outreach with mariners has indicated the requirement for two hours of 
advance notice will not impede routine waterway operations. Mariners 
also offered no objection to a ten day closure of the draw in order to 
complete the necessary deck replacement. The concrete pour and curing
