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.
