33 CFR Part 117

RIN 2115-AE47
Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway,
Core Creek, NC
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment removes the regulations for the S.R. 101 bridge
across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile 195.8, Core Creek,
North Carolina, because the swing bridge has been removed. A notice of
proposed rulemaking has not been issued for this regulation because
removal of the bridge eliminates the need for regulation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations become effective on July 5, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ann B. Deaton, Bridge Administrator, Fifth Coast Guard District, at
(804) 398-6222.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Drafting Information
The principal persons involved in drafting this document are Linda
L. Gilliam, Project Officer, and LT Monica L. Lombardi, Project
Attorney.
Background and Purpose
The swing bridge across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile
195.8, at Core Creek, North Carolina, was replaced by a high level
fixed bridge along the same alignment. The existing bridge has been
removed, thereby eliminating the need for 33 CFR 117.821(b)(3). This
action has no economic consequences. It merely removes regulations for
a swing bridge that no longer exists.
This action necessitates redesignating the regulations listed in 33
CFR 117.821(b) (4), (5) and (6) for the drawbridges at Surf City,
Wrightsville Beach, and Sunset Beach along the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway within North Carolina.
Regulatory History
This action is not a significant regulatory action under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that order. It
has been exempted from review by the Office of Management and Budget
under that order. It is not significant under the regulatory policies
and procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040;
February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this
ruling to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under
paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is
unnecessary because the Coast Guard is removing regulations that are no
longer necessary.
Collection of Information
This rule contains no collection of information requirements under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Federalism
This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined
that this rule does not raise sufficient federalism implications to
warrant the preparation of a federalism assessment.
Environment
The Coast Guard considered the environmental impact of this rule
and concluded that under section 2.B.2.g.(5) of Commandant Instruction
M16475.1B, this final rule is categorically excluded from further
environmental documentation. A Categorical Exclusion Determination
statement has been prepared and placed in the rulemaking docket.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117
Bridges.
Regulations
In consideration of the foregoing, the Coast Guard is amending part
117 of Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations to read as follows:

follows:
Authority: 33 U.S.C. 499; 49 CFR 1.46; 33 CFR 1.05-1(g).
Sec. 117.821 [Amended]
2. In Sec. 117.821, paragraph (b)(3) is removed and paragraphs
(b)(4), (5) and (6) are redesignated as paragraphs (b)(3), (4) and (5).
Dated: May 16, 1994.
W.T. Leland,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District.
