Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the Highway (Green Island) Bridge across the Hudson River, mile 152.7, at Troy and Green Island, New York. This temporary deviation is necessary to allow the bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position to facilitate deck replacement. SUMMARY: This deviation is effective from 12:01 a.m. on June 19, 2018, to 11:59 p.m. on September 6, 2018. ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG–2018–0481 is available at https://www.regulations.gov.

If you have questions on this temporary deviation, call or email Judy Leung-Yee, Bridge Management Specialist, First District Bridge Branch, U.S. Coast Guard, telephone 212–514–4336, email Judy.K.Leung-Yee@uscg.mil. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The New York State Department of Transportation, the bridge owner, requested a temporary deviation from the normal operating schedule of the bridge to facilitate deck replacement. The Highway (Green Island) Bridge across the Hudson River, mile 152.7, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 29 feet at mean high water. The existing bridge operating regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.791(e). Under this temporary deviation, the Highway (Green Island) Bridge shall remain in the closed position from 12:01 a.m. on June 19, 2018 to 11:59 p.m. on July 13, 2018, and from 12:01 a.m. on August 17, 2018 to 11:59 p.m. on September 6, 2018. The waterway is transited by commercial and recreational traffic. The bridge owner and contractor notified known commercial vessel operators that transit the area and there were no objections to this temporary deviation. Vessels able to pass under the bridge in the closed position may do so at any time. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will 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. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dated: June 5, 2018. C.J. Bisignano, Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, First Coast Guard District. [FR Doc. 2018–12426 Filed 6–8–18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 9110–04–P E:\FR\FM\11JNR1.SGM 11JNR1

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning Military 
Payment Certificates (MPC) which are no longer used by the Federal 
Government nor DoD based on U.S. Treasury guidance and use of Smart 
Card technology. MPC's were discontinued in the late 1990's based on 
the U.S. Treasury determining that the remaining stock from the Vietnam 
War could no longer be used and it would take several years to replace 
them with new MPCs. The Army determined that going forward, the 
EagleCash Stored Value Card (SVC) will be used in lieu of MPC.

DATES: This rule is effective on June 11, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. G. Eric Reid at (317) 212-2223 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been determined that publication of 
this CFR part removal for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, 
and contrary to public interest. EagleCash is now used in support of 
operations in the Central Command, European Command, and Southern 
Command theaters by personnel from all Services and DoD civilians. 
Policy on use of the SVC is embedded in the DoD Financial Management 
Regulation (DoD 7000.14-R) Volume 5, Chapter 10 (https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/documents/fmr/Volume_05.pdf). Army

training and operations.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' therefore, E.O. 13771, ``Reducing 
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' does not apply.
