Department of Transportation is closing
the Alaskan Way Viaduct forever, and
have not finished building new ramp
approaches to the new SR99 Tunnel
into Seattle, WA. During the closure of
the viaduct, SDOT will be re-routing
roadway traffic into Seattle across the

ACTION:
Direct final rule.
The U.S. Army Military

13DER1
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 239 / Thursday, December 13, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
Command (SDDC) requested that the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
change the name of a restricted area
from ‘‘Suisun Bay at Naval Weapons
Station, Concord; restricted area’’ to
‘‘Military Ocean Terminal Concord
(MOTCO); restricted area.’’ The
restricted area is located in Suisun Bay,
north of the City of Concord, California.
The request to change the name of the
restricted area is due to a transfer of real
estate from the U.S. Navy to the U.S.
Army SDDC. A Memorandum of
Agreement between the U.S. Navy and
the U.S. Army for the interagency
transfer of base closure property and all
associated environmental programs for
portions of the Naval Weapons Station
Seal Beach Detachment Concord was
signed on January 24, 2007. The SDDC
officially accepted the former U.S. Navy
real estate in Fall 2008 to Winter 2009.
DATES: This rule is effective February
11, 2019 without further notice, unless
the Corps receives adverse comment by
January 14, 2019. If we receive such
adverse comment, we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that this
rule will not take effect.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
David Olson, Headquarters, Operations

Washington, DC at 202–761–4922 or Ms.
Naomi Schowalter, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, San Francisco District, at
415–503–6763.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter
dated October 23, 2018, SDDC’s 834th
Transportation Battalion Commander
requested the restricted area name
change from ‘‘Suisun Bay at Naval
Weapons Station, Concord; restricted
area’’ to ‘‘Military Ocean Terminal
Concord (MOTCO); restricted area.’’ The
request was made because of the
transfer of the restricted area property
from the U.S. Navy to the U.S. Army
SDDC. In response to this request by the
SDDC, and pursuant to its authorities in
Section 7 of the Rivers and Harbors Act
of 1917 (40 Stat 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and
Chapter XIX of the Army
Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 Stat 892;
33 U.S.C. 3), the Corps is amending the
regulations in 33 CFR part 334 by
changing the name of the restricted area.
The Corps is publishing this rule
without prior proposal because we view
this as a non-controversial amendment
and anticipate no adverse comment. We
are only changing the name of the
facility associated with this restricted
area, and are not changing the restricted
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700

64025
area itself or the rules governing that
restricted area.
Procedural Requirements
a. Review Under Executive Orders
12866 and 13563. Executive Orders
12866 and 13563 direct agencies to
assess the costs and benefits of available
regulatory alternatives and, if regulation
is necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits.
Executive Order 13771 directs agencies
to control regulatory costs through a
budgeting process. This direct final rule
has not been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, this direct
final rule has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance
it is exempt from the requirements of
Executive Order 13771.
The Corps determined this direct final
rule is not a significant regulatory
action. This regulatory action
determination is based on this direct
final rule being limited to a name
change for the facility associated with
the restricted area, from ‘‘Suisun Bay at
Naval Weapons Station, Concord’’ to
‘‘Military Ocean Terminal Concord.’’
This direct final rule is issued with
respect to a military function of the
Department of Defense.
b. Review Under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. This rule has been
reviewed under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354). The
Regulatory Flexibility Act generally
requires an agency to prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule
subject to notice-and-comment
rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the agency certifies
that the rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities (i.e., small
businesses and small governments).
This rulemaking is limited to changing
the name of the facility to which the
existing regulations apply, and no
changes are being made to the restricted
area itself or to the regulations
governing that restricted area. Unless
information is obtained to the contrary
during the comment period, the Corps
certifies that the direct final rule would
have no significant economic impact on
the public. After considering the
economic impacts of this direct final
rule on small entities, I certify that this
action will not have a significant impact
on a substantial number of small
entities.
c. Review Under the National
Environmental Policy Act. The Corps
expects that the direct final rule will not
have a significant impact to the quality
E:\FR\FM\13DER1.SGM

64026
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 239 / Thursday, December 13, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
of the human environment and,
therefore, preparation of an
environmental impact statement will
not be required. An environmental
assessment will be prepared after the
public notice period is closed and all
comments have been received and
considered. If no adverse comments are
received, the environmental assessment
will be prepared before the effective
date. After the environmental
assessment is prepared, it may be
reviewed at the District office listed at
the end of the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above.
d. Unfunded Mandates Act. The
direct final rule does not impose an
enforceable duty among the private
sector and, therefore, are not a Federal
private sector mandate and are not
subject to the requirements of Section
202 or 205 of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (Public Laws 104–4, 109
Stat. 48, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). We have
also found under Section 203 of the Act,
that small governments will not be
significantly or uniquely affected by this
rulemaking.

(b) The regulations. (1) No person,

Procedural Requirements
a. Review Under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563. Executive Orders
12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of
available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to
select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. Executive
Order 13771 directs agencies to control regulatory costs through a

``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, this direct final rule has not been reviewed by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is
exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
The Corps determined this direct final rule is not a significant
regulatory action. This regulatory action determination is based on
this direct final rule being limited to a name change for the facility
associated with the restricted area, from ``Suisun Bay at Naval Weapons
Station, Concord'' to ``Military Ocean Terminal Concord.'' This direct
final rule is issued with respect to a military function of the

b. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This rule has been
reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354). The
Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to prepare a

significant economic impact on the public. After considering the
economic impacts of this direct final rule on small entities, I certify
that this action will not have a significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
c. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act. The Corps
expects that the direct final rule will not have a significant impact
to the quality

of the human environment and, therefore, preparation of an
environmental impact statement will not be required. An environmental
assessment will be prepared after the public notice period is closed
and all comments have been received and considered. If no adverse
comments are received, the environmental assessment will be prepared
before the effective date. After the environmental assessment is
prepared, it may be reviewed at the District office listed at the end
of the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, above.
d. Unfunded Mandates Act. The direct final rule does not impose an
enforceable duty among the private sector and, therefore, are not a
Federal private sector mandate and are not subject to the requirements
of Section 202 or 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (Public Laws
104-4, 109 Stat. 48, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). We have also found under
Section 203 of the Act, that small governments will not be
significantly or uniquely affected by this rulemaking.
