Intent To Request Approval From OMB of One Public Collection of Information; Port Security Training Exercise Program (PortSTEP)
This notice serves to withdraw the previous Federal Register notice on this subject, published May 25, 2005 (70 FR 30132), and supersedes all information contained in that notice. TSA is coordinating the collection of information concerning surface transportation modes within the nation's public and private port terminals and facilities, in order to develop a full understanding of critical links and dependences to maritime transportation modes within each port. TSA invites public comment on the new information collection requirements abstracted below that will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Marine Casualties and Investigations; Chemical Testing Following Serious Marine Incidents
This final rule revises Coast Guard requirements for alcohol testing after a serious marine incident to ensure that mariners or their employees involved in a serious marine incident are tested for alcohol use within 2 hours of the occurrence of the incident as required under the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998. This final rule also requires that most commercial vessels have alcohol testing devices on board, and authorizes the use of saliva as an acceptable specimen for alcohol testing. This rule also makes some minor procedural changes, including a 32-hour time limit for collecting specimens for drug testing following a serious marine incident.
Drawbridge Operation Regulations: Mianus River, CT
The Coast Guard has changed the drawbridge operation regulations for the Metro-North Bridge, at mile 1.0, across the Mianus River at Greenwich, Connecticut. This final rule requires the bridge to open on signal from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., after an advance notice is given. The bridge previously did not open for vessel traffic between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., daily. This action is expected to better meet the present needs of navigation.
Drawbridge Operation Regulations: Connecticut River, CT
The Commander, First Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the drawbridge operation regulations for the Amtrak Old Saybrook-Old Lyme Bridge (Old Saybrook-Old Lyme Bridge), mile 3.4, across the Connecticut River, Connecticut. This deviation from the regulations allows the bridge to operate on a fixed schedule for bridge openings and two three-day closures from January 3, 2006 through February 1, 2006. This deviation is necessary in order to facilitate necessary scheduled bridge maintenance.
