The Department of State is publishing
this rulemaking as a final rule, pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(b). This rulemaking is a
rule of agency organization, procedure,
or practice. The effective date of the rule
is 30 days after publication, as provided
in the Administrative Procedure Act.
The Department further finds that this
is not a major rule; is not subject to the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995; will not have tribal implications
as defined by Executive Order 13175;
and will not have an impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
This rule is not an economically
significant rule under Executive Order
12866, and the Department certifies that
the benefits of this rulemaking outweigh
any costs, which are minimal for the
public. The Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has designated this
rule as ‘‘non-significant’’, as defined by
Executive Order 12866. As this rule is
not a significant regulatory action, this
rule is exempt from the requirements of
Executive Order 13771, ‘‘Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs.’’ See OMB Memorandum M–17–
21, ‘‘Guidance Implementing Executive
Order 13771’’ of April 5, 2017.
The Department of State has reviewed
this rule in light of Executive Order
12988 to eliminate ambiguity, minimize
litigation, establish clear legal
standards, and reduce burden. This rule
will not have substantial direct effect on
the states, on the relationships between
the national government and the states,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with Executive Order 13132,
it is determined that this rule does not
have sufficient federalism implications
to require consultations or warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary
impact statement.
The information collection referred to
in this rulemaking has been approved
by OMB. (OMB Control No. 1405–0220).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Washington Department of
Transportation (WSDOT), bridge owner,
has requested a temporary deviation
from the operating schedule for the
Montlake Bridge across the Lake
Washington Ship Canal, at mile 5.2, at
Seattle, WA. The deviation is necessary
to accommodate work crews to conduct
timely bridge deck repairs. The
Montlake Bridge in the closed-tonavigation position provides 30 feet of
vertical clearance throughout the
navigation channel, and 46 feet of
vertical clearance throughout the center
60 feet of the bridge; vertical clearance
references to the Mean Water Level of
Lake Washington. When half the span is
open, single leaf, 46 feet of vertical
clearance will be reduced throughout
the center 30 feet of the bridge. To
facilitate this construction event, single
leaf operation will provide 75 feet of
horizontal clearance.
The normal operating schedule for the
Montlake Bridge operates in accordance
with 33 CFR 117.1051(e). The deviation
period and span operation is described
in the table below:
