FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background and Purpose On June 30, 2017, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled, ‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, Pennsauken Township, NJ’’ in the Federal Register (82 FR 29800). The original comment period closed on August 18, 2017. The NPRM proposed changes to the regulation governing the DELAIR Memorial Railroad Bridge across the Delaware River, mile 104.6, at Pennsauken Township, and contained useful background and analysis related to the proposed changes. The installation of the remote operation system did not change the operational schedule of the bridge.1 The public is encouraged to review the NPRM. On April 12, 2017, we published a temporary deviation entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, Pennsauken Township, NJ’’ in the Federal Register (82 FR 17561). During the initial test deviation performed from 8 a.m. on April 24, 2017, through 7:59 a.m. on October 21, 2017, the bridge owner identified deficiencies in the remote operation center procedures, bridge to vessel communications, and equipment redundancy. The bridge owner implemented policies and provided training to address the procedural and communications deficiencies, and implemented backup systems to mitigate potential equipment and systems failures. These changes were not fully evaluated during the temporary deviation ending October 21, 2017. Therefore, the Coast Guard decided to issue a second temporary deviation (‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, Pennsauken Township, NJ’’ in the Federal Register (82 FR 48419), to complete the 1 A full description of the remote operational system is outlined in the aforementioned publication, which can be found at https:// regulations.gov.

The Coast Guard has reviewed 25 comments posted to the docket, six reports with supporting documentation submitted by the bridge owner during the initial and second temporary deviations, and other information concerning the remote operation system of the DELAIR Memorial Railroad Bridge.

The Coast Guard has issued a third temporary deviation from 8 a.m. on April 19, 2018, through 7:59 a.m. on October 16, 2018, to provide sufficient time for further testing and evaluation of the remote operation system of the DELAIR Memorial Railroad Bridge.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Purpose

    On June 30, 2017, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) entitled, ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, 
Pennsauken Township, NJ'' in the Federal Register (82 FR 29800). The 
original comment period closed on August 18, 2017. The NPRM proposed 
changes to the regulation governing the DELAIR Memorial Railroad Bridge 
across the Delaware River, mile 104.6, at Pennsauken Township, and 
contained useful background and analysis related to the proposed 
changes. The installation of the remote operation system did not change 
the operational schedule of the bridge.\1\ The public is encouraged to 
review the NPRM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A full description of the remote operational system is 
outlined in the aforementioned publication, which can be found at 
https://regulations.gov. (see ADDRESSES for more information).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 12, 2017, we published a temporary deviation entitled 
``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, Pennsauken Township, 
NJ'' in the Federal Register (82 FR 17561). During the initial test 
deviation performed from 8 a.m. on April 24, 2017, through 7:59 a.m. on 
October 21, 2017, the bridge owner identified deficiencies in the 
remote operation center procedures, bridge to vessel communications, 
and equipment redundancy.
    The bridge owner implemented policies and provided training to 
address the procedural and communications deficiencies, and implemented 
backup systems to mitigate potential equipment and systems failures. 
These changes were not fully evaluated during the temporary deviation 
ending October 21, 2017. Therefore, the Coast Guard decided to issue a 
second temporary deviation (``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware 
River, Pennsauken Township, NJ'' in the Federal Register (82 FR 48419), 
to complete the evaluation of the changes incorporated into the remote 
operation system.
    On December 6, 2017, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking; 
reopening of comment period (NPRM); entitled ``Drawbridge Operation 
Regulation; Delaware River, Pennsauken Township, NJ'' in the Federal 
Register (82 FR 57561). This notice included a request for comments and 
related material to reach the Coast Guard on or before January 15, 
2018.
    On January 22, 2018, we published a notice of temporary deviation; 
reopening of comment period; entitled ``Drawbridge Operation 
Regulation; Delaware River, Pennsauken Township, NJ'' in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 2909). This notice included a request for comments and 
related material to reach the Coast Guard on or before March 2, 2018.
    On February 15, 2018, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking; 
reopening comment period; entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 
Delaware River, Pennsauken Township, NJ'' in the Federal Register (see 
83 FR 6821). This notice included a request for comments and related 
material to reach the Coast Guard on or before March 2, 2018.
    The Coast Guard has reviewed 25 comments posted to the docket, six 
reports with supporting documentation submitted by the bridge owner 
during the initial and second temporary deviations, and other 
information concerning the remote operation system of the DELAIR 
Memorial Railroad Bridge. Through this review, the Coast Guard found 
that further testing and evaluation of the remote operation system of 
the drawbridge is necessary before making a decision on the proposed 
regulation. The Coast Guard has issued a third temporary deviation from 
8 a.m. on April 19, 2018, through 7:59 a.m. on October 16, 2018, to 
provide sufficient time for further testing and evaluation of the 
remote operation system of the DELAIR Memorial Railroad Bridge.
    During this temporary deviation, the following changes have been 
implemented: (1) The on-site bridge tender will be removed from the 
bridge, (2) qualified personnel will return and operate the bridge 
within 60 minutes if the remote operation system is considered in a 
failed condition,\2\ and

[[Page 19660]]

(3) comments concerning the utility and value of the automated 
identification system (AIS) are requested.
