Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the San Joaquin County (Bacon Island Road) highway Drawbridge across the Middle River, mile 8.6, between Bacon Island and Lower Jones Tract, CA. The deviation is necessary to allow the bridge owner to make emergency structural repairs. This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position during the deviation period. DATES: This deviation is effective from 6 a.m. on December 18, 2017 through 6 p.m. on December 22, 2017. ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG–2017–1069, is available at https://www.regulations.gov.

If you have questions on this temporary deviation, call or email Carl T. Hausner, Chief, Bridge Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone 510–437– 3516; email Carl.T.Hausner@uscg.mil. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: San Joaquin County Department of Public Works has requested a temporary change to the operation of the San Joaquin County (Bacon Island Road) highway Drawbridge over the Middle River, mile 8.6, between Bacon Island and Lower Jones Tract, CA. The drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 8 feet above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw operates as required by 33 CFR 117.171(a). Navigation on the waterway is commercial and recreational. The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position from 6 a.m. on December 18, 2017 through 6 p.m. on December 22, 2017, to allow the bridge owner to make emergency structural repairs. This temporary deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users. No objections to the proposed temporary deviation were raised. Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at anytime. In the event of an emergency the draw can open if at least 12 hours advance notice is given to the bridge operator. Old River can be used as an alternate route for vessels unable to pass through the bridge in the closed position. 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 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. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dated: December 4, 2017. Carl T. Hausner, District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District. [FR Doc. 2017–26463 Filed 12–7–17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 9110–04–P E:\FR\FM\08DER1.SGM 08DER1

Military Commissions

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense is removing its regulations 
regarding procedures for the conduct of military commissions to try 
certain terror suspects for war crimes because the subchapter, which 
contains eleven parts, is outdated and no longer in force.

DATES: This rule is effective on December 8, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gerald Dziecichowicz at 703-693-9958.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 13, 2001, President George W. 
Bush issued the Military Order titled ``Detention, Treatment, and Trial 
of Certain Non-Citizens in the War Against Terrorism,'' which 
authorized the use of military commissions to try certain terror 
suspects for war crimes. Pursuant to section 4 of that order, the 
Secretary of Defense issued policies and procedures for the conduct of 
those proceedings, which were codified at 32 CFR chapter I, subchapter 
B. In 2006, the Supreme Court essentially invalidated that military 
commissions process. Congress subsequently passed several laws 
reshaping and reauthorizing the use of military commissions, which 
required the Secretary of Defense to issue new policies and procedures. 
These updated directives are publicly available and posted to a 
department Web site. Accordingly, this subchapter, which contains 
eleven parts, is outdated, no longer in force, and should be removed 
from the Code of Federal Regulations.
    It has been determined that publication of this CFR subchapter 
removal for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary 
to public interest because it is based on removing outdated policies 
and procedures.
    As this repeal removes information that is now obsolete from the 
CFR, there is no cost savings to the public for the repeal of this 
subchapter.
