Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Nueces Bay, TX

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; removal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment removes the regulation for the US Highway 181 
drawbridge across Neuces Bay, mile 0.5, at Corpus Christi, Texas, 
because a fixed span replacement bridge has been constructed and the 
drawspan bridge has been removed. Notice and public procedure have been 
omitted from this action because the drawspan bridge is no longer in 
existence.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 21, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Wachter, Bridge 
Administration Branch, Eighth Coast Guard District, telephone (504) 
589-2965.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action has no economic consequences. It 
merely removes a regulation that is unnecessary because the regulated 
drawbrige no longer exists. Consequently, this action is considered to 
be non-major under Executive Order 12866 and is not significant under 
the Department of Transportation Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 
FR 11034, February 26, 1979). Since there is no economic impact, a full 
regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. Because no notice of proposed 
rulemaking is required under 5 U.S.C. 553, this action is exempt from 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)). This action will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    Drafting Information: The drafters of this amendment are Mr. John 
Wachter, project officer, and CDR D. G. Dickman, project attorney
    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 action does not have sufficient federalism 
implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
