Navigation Regulations

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is withdrawing the 
proposed rule published on May 25, 2005 (70 FR 30042) which proposed to 
establish a procedure for modifying the scheduled operational hours at 
the Lake Washington Ship Canal, Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Seattle, 
Washington. The proposed rule would have permitted the District 
Engineer to change the scheduled operational hours of the locks 
following issuance of a public notice and after providing a 30-day 
comment period for any proposed change. The Corps has determined that 
there is no present need to implement changes in the operation of the 
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. The Corps intends to initiate rulemaking in 
the future if circumstances necessitate instituting a change in the 
schedule or other parameters of Locks operation.

DATES: The proposed rule is withdrawn as of January 23, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Post, Operations Manager, 
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, at (206) 789-2622; or Ms. Andrea Takash, 
Public Affairs Office, (206) 764-3760.

    Dated: January 12, 2006.
Gerald W. Barnes,
Chief, Operations, Directorate of Civil Works.
