§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose and Legal
Basis
The Milwaukee River is 104 miles
long with the lower 3.22 miles
considered navigable by vessels coming
from Lake Michigan. The Milwaukee
River is crossed by twenty-two bridges,
fifteen of which are movable bridges.
The river is used by commercial and
recreational vessels, including both
powered and unpowered vessels. The
primary commercial vessels are
passenger vessels whose regular routes
travel from Lake Michigan to the Knapp
Street Bridge, mile 2.14, over the
Milwaukee River. The head of
navigation for the Milwaukee River is
just upriver of the Humbolt Avenue
Bridge, mile 3.22, over the Milwaukee
River.
The Cherry Street Bridge, mile 2.29,
over the Milwaukee River, is a double
leaf bascule bridge that provides a
horizontal clearance of 80-feet and a
vertical clearance of 14-feet in the
closed position and an unlimited
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:21 Apr 05, 2024
Jkt 262001
clearance in the open position based on
LWD.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Cherry Street Bridge requires
extensive electrical rehabilitation,
including a new submarine cable to be
installed under the river bottom that
will prevent the bridge from opening.
This type of work is typically completed
during the winter months when vessel
traffic is at its lowest. However,
Milwaukee is hosting a national
convention of nationwide significance
in July 2024, and construction can not
start until the convention concludes.
The vessels that normally transit the
river are less than 40-feet wide but are
over 14-feet in height. In order to
accommodate their passage, one leaf of
the bridge would remain open, except
from November 1 through April 1, when
both leaves would be secured and
unable to open for any vessels.
The local DOT and City Offices
provided a public information meeting
in June 2023 and the proceedings can be
viewed by visiting the City of
Milwaukee Department of Public Works
web page, available at https://
city.milwaukee.gov/dpw.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
will approve the installment of the
submarine cable.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive Orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and Executive
Orders.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
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.
This proposed rule has not been
designated a ‘‘significant regulatory
action,’’ under section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866, as amended by Executive
Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory
Review). Accordingly, the NPRM has
not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the continuing ability of
vessels to transit the bridge through the
one open leaf during the summer and
that the closure of both leaves will occur
during a period when ice historically
prevents vessel navigation.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
24397
requires Federal agencies to consider
the potential impact of regulations on
small entities during rulemaking. The
term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this proposed rule would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the bridge
may be small entities, for the reasons
stated in section IV.A above, this
proposed rule would not have a
significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this proposed rule. If the
proposed rule would affect your small
business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section. The Coast Guard will
not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of
the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520.).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Governments
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism), if it has a substantial
direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the National
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. We have analyzed
this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent
with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements
described in Executive Order 13132.
E:\FR\FM\08APP1.SGM
08APP1
24398
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 68 / Monday, April 8, 2024 / Proposed Rules
Also, this proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175 (Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would not
have a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes.
If you believe this proposed rule has
implications for federalism or Indian
tribes, please contact the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this
proposed rule will not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of
this proposed rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01, Rev.1,
associated implementing instructions,
and Environmental Planning Policy
COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which
guide the Coast Guard in complying
with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–
4370f). The Coast Guard has determined
that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This proposed
rule promulgates the operating
regulations or procedures for
drawbridges. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further
review, under paragraph L49, of Chapter
3, Table 3–1 of the U.S. Coast Guard
Environmental Planning
Implementation Procedures.
Neither a Record of Environmental
Consideration nor a Memorandum for
the Record are required for this rule. We
seek any comments or information that
may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.
V. Public Participation and Request for
Comments
We view public participation as
essential to effective rulemaking and
will consider all comments and material

the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01, Rev.1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning Policy COMDTINST 5090.1
(series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f). The
Coast Guard has determined that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule promulgates the
operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from further review, under paragraph
L49, of Chapter 3, Table 3-1 of the U.S. Coast Guard Environmental
Planning Implementation Procedures.
Neither a Record of Environmental Consideration nor a Memorandum
for the Record are required for this rule. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.
