RIN 1625-AA09


Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway 
(AIWW), Elizabeth River, Southern Branch, Chesapeake, VA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is temporarily changing the drawbridge 
operation regulations of the Gilmerton (US13/460) Bridge across the 
Elizabeth River (Southern Branch), AIWW mile 5.8, at Chesapeake, VA. 
Due to the construction of the new Gilmerton Highway Bridge, the 
existing drawbridge has experienced increased delays to vehicular 
traffic during unscheduled vessel openings. This change will allow 
adjustments and set opening periods for the bridge during the day until 
December 20, 2013, relieving vehicular traffic congestion during the 
weekday and weekend daytime hours while still providing for the 
reasonable needs of navigation.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9 a.m. on June 19, 2010 until 6:30 
p.m. on December 20, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Comments and related materials received from the public, as 
well as documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the 
docket, are part of docket USCG-2010-0879 and are available online by 
going to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2010-0879 in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information

    On November 16, 2010, we published a notice of temporary deviation 
request for comments entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), Elizabeth River, Southern 
Branch, VA'' in the Federal Register (75 FR 69879) and a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), Elizabeth River, Southern 
Branch, VA'' in the Federal Register (75 FR 69906). We received seven 
comments on the published deviation and NPRM. No public meeting was 
requested, and none was held.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause 
exists for making this rule effective in less than 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register. Making this rule effective in less 
than 30 days is necessary in order to continue the construction of the 
new Gilmerton Bridge Replacement Project without disruption. 
Additionally, delaying this final temporary could result in additional 
vehicular traffic congestion without providing any additional benefit 
to vessel traffic.

Background and Purpose

    The City of Chesapeake, Virginia (the City), who owns and operates 
the lift-type Gilmerton (US13/460) Bridge, has requested a temporary 
change to the existing bridge regulations. The current regulation, set 
out in Title 33 CFR Part

[[Page 34849]]

117.997(c), requires the Gilmerton (US13/460) Bridge, at AIWW mile 5.8, 
in Chesapeake to open on signal at anytime for commercial vessels 
carrying liquefied flammable gas or other hazardous materials. From 
6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through 
Friday, except Federal holidays, the draw need not open for the passage 
of recreational or commercial vessels; except the draw shall open for 
commercial cargo vessels, including tugs, and tugs with tows, if two 
hours advance notice is given to the Gilmerton Bridge at (757) 545-
1512. At all other times, the draw shall open on signal. The current 
operating schedule has been in effect since November 17, 2003.
    The Gilmerton Bridge Replacement project, which is currently 
underway since November 2009, will provide a new vertical-lift type 
bridge over the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River to replace the 
existing bridge that was constructed in 1938.
    Due to the construction for the new Gilmerton Bridge, vehicular 
traffic is limited to one lane in each direction and the bridge and 
approaches have experienced back-ups, delays, and congestion. This 
temporary change will continue to allow, from June 19, 2011, to 
December 20, 2013, the draw of the Gilmerton (US13/460) Bridge to open 
on signal at anytime for commercial vessels carrying liquefied 
flammable gas or other hazardous materials, and at anytime for 
commercial cargo vessels, including tugs, and tugs with tows, if two 
hours advance notice is given to the Gilmerton Bridge at (757) 545-
1512, but will extend by one-hour; from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and from 
3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays; 
the time each day when the draw need not open for the passage of 
recreational or commercial vessels.
    From 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 6:30 
a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays and Federal holidays, the draw 
shall open on signal hourly on the half hour; except the draw shall 
open anytime for commercial cargo vessels, including tugs, and tugs 
with tows, if two hours advance notice is given to the Gilmerton Bridge 
at (757) 545-1512. At all other times, the draw shall open on signal. 
By expanding the morning and evening rush hour periods on the weekdays 
and implementing scheduled bridge openings between the rush hour 
periods and on the weekends, we anticipated a decrease in vehicular 
traffic congestion during the daytime hours.
    Concurrent with the publication of the Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (NPRM), a Test Deviation [USCG-2010-0879] was issued to 
allow the City to test the proposed schedule and to obtain data and 
public comments. The test deviation was in effect during the entire 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking comment period. Also, a count of the 
delayed vessels during the closure periods was taken to ensure a future 
regulation would not have a significant impact on navigation. The NPRM 
was coordinated with the main commercial waterway user group, 
specifically, the Virginia Maritime Association who represents 
waterborne commerce in the Port of Hampton Roads, and there was no 
expectation of any significant impacts on navigation.
    Vessel traffic on this waterway consists of pleasure craft, tug and 
barge traffic, and ships with assist tugs. There are no alternate 
routes for vessels transiting this section of the Atlantic Intracoastal 
Waterway and the drawbridge will be able to open in the event of an 
emergency.
    According to records furnished by the City, there were a total of 
6,195 bridge openings and 12,498 vessel passages occurring at the 
drawbridge between September 2009 and September 2010. (See Table A)

                                                                         Table A

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

    Under normal conditions, the Gilmerton (US13/460) Bridge is a vital 
transportation route for over 35,000 motorists per day. According to 
recent vehicular traffic counts submitted by the City, the average 
daily traffic volume decreased at the Gilmerton (US13/460) Bridge to 
approximately 20,000 cars a day. Due to construction, the I-64 High 
Rise Bridge is the suggested alternate route for motorists. Even with 
the alternative vehicular route, the Coast Guard anticipates continued 
vehicular traffic congestion over the Gilmerton Highway Bridge due to 
the reduction of highway lanes and anticipates that traffic congestion 
will subside once the new bridge is completed.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard received seven responses to the NPRM including two 
comments from the same respondent. Six comments were submitted online 
to http://www.regulations.gov, with one remark forwarded by e-mail.
    The respondents, all mariners, expressed the following remarks and 
recommendations:
    The first comment recommended operating procedures for inclusion in 
the regulatory language. The suggestions offered are the following:
    1. If any vessel is approaching the bridge and cannot reach the 
draw exactly on the half hour, the draw tender may delay the opening up 
to 10 minutes past the half hour for passage of the approaching vessel 
and any other vessels that are waiting to pass.
    The Coast Guard considered the proposal reasonable and will add the 
suggestion to the final rule.
    2. If Norfolk & Southern Railroad Bridge #7 adjacent to Gilmerton 
Bridge is closed at the time of a scheduled opening AND a vessel(s) is 
waiting that requires opening of the Gilmerton Bridge, the Gilmerton 
Bridge shall open as soon as Railroad Bridge #7 opens, to allow passage 
of the vessel(s) waiting from the scheduled opening time. Any other 
vessels that may have accumulated can pass through with the original 
vessel(s) that was delayed.
    For these situations, the Coast Guard will make the following 
changes: If the Norfolk & Southern Railroad Bridge 7,

[[Page 34850]]

at mile 5.8, is not opened during a particular scheduled opening for 
the Gilmerton Bridge and vessels were delayed, the draw tender at the 
Gilmerton Bridge may provide a single opening for waiting vessels once 
the Norfolk & Southern Railroad Bridge 7 reopens for vessels.
    The second and third comments were opposed to the temporary 
regulations and suggested that the drawbridge opening restrictions 
during the weekday (between 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.) include one opening 
for vessels at 8:30 a.m. in order to coincide with the operation of the 
Dominion Boulevard (US 17) Bridge located across the Southern Branch of 
the Elizabeth River at AIWW mile 8.8 in Chesapeake VA. Both mariners 
stated in some measure that: In this way, Belhaven NC, which is 
approximately 135 miles from Norfolk VA, can be reached. Transiting 
through at 9:30 a.m. adds an extra day to the trip.
    The Coast Guard does not believe that this request is reasonable 
since purpose of the test deviation and temporary regulations is to 
help reduce vehicle traffic congestion on the bridge during daytime 
hours, while providing for the reasonable needs of navigation during 
the construction of the new Gilmerton Bridge Replacement Project. The 
addition of a bridge opening at 8:30 would significantly disrupt 
vehicular traffic during ``rush hour'' without a corresponding benefit 
to vessel traffic. Further this is only a temporary change and once the 
new bridge is completed, the existing operating regulations, set out 33 
CFR 117.997(c), will be reinstated.
    The fourth comment disagreed with making the proposed bridge 
opening schedules permanent at this time and requested waiting to see 
how the traffic flows after the construction is completed. The fifth 
comment suggested that ``We change the operation of the Dominion 
Boulevard (US 17) Bridge to open for vessels on the half-hour instead 
of on the hour and change the operation of the Gilmerton Bridge to open 
for vessels on the hour, because the Great Bridge locks and the 
Dominion Boulevard Bridge both open on the hour costing vessel traffic 
an extra hour. Even sailboats could make both bridges and the locks on 
the suggested schedule, saving congestion and fuel''.
    For these comments, the Coast Guard responds by stating that this 
change is only temporary and will allow adjustments and set opening 
periods for the bridge to vessels during the day to continue from June 
19, 2011 until December 20, 2013. At 6:30 p.m. on December 20, 2013, 
the temporary regulations will end and the existing operating 
regulations will be reinstated.
    The sixth and seventh comments were submitted by the same 
respondent. This commenter is opposed to the temporary regulations, the 
delayed operation of the adjacent Norfolk & Southern Railway Bridge, 
and the ineffective operating staff at the Gilmerton Bridge.
    For these comments, the Coast Guard again responds by stating that 
this change is only temporary and will allow adjustments and set 
opening periods for the bridge to vessels during the day to continue 
from June 19, 2011 until December 20, 2013. At 6:30 p.m. on December 
20, 2013, the temporary regulations will end and the existing operating 
regulations, set out 33 CFR 117.997(c), will be reinstated.
    In addition, there are general penalty procedures to facilitate the 
safe passage of vessels through bridges by deterring any inconvenience 
or impediment to navigation which may result from the ineffective 
operation of bridges across navigable waters of the United States. 
Complainants should forward a report of alleged violations to the 
district Bridge Program Manager who conducts an investigation to 
determine if there is sufficient evidence to establish a ``prima 
facie'' case. If the material then available indicates that there is 
not a prima facie case, yet a violation appears imminent, the district 
Bridge Program Manager may issue a cautionary notice by letter or 
telephone. If it is determined that a prima facie case does exist, a 
case file is prepared and forwarded to the Hearing Officer, with a 
recommended action.
    The Coast Guard reviewed the bridge data supplied by the Virginia 
Department of Transportation (VDOT). The City gathered data during the 
month of April 2011 to analyze the effect of the temporary deviation on 
roadway and maritime traffic. According to the City, April was chosen 
as it falls during the ``snowbird season'', when maritime traffic is at 
its peak. The test regulations had been in effect for three months, 
providing roadway and maritime traffic time to adjust to the new test 
regulations. The data was compared to data from April 2010. In summary, 
the data showed that in April 2011 the bridge made on average 0.7 fewer 
bridge lifts per day during morning rush hour restrictions (6:30 a.m. 
to 9:30 a.m.), 1.3 fewer lifts per day during the 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 
p.m. timeframe, and 1.7 fewer lifts during the evening rush hour 
restrictions (3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.).
    Vehicular traffic count information, from the VDOT count station on 
Military Highway near Shell Road, showed an average daily traffic count 
of 24,717 vehicles crossing the structure during the weekdays in April 
2011. This is an increase of approximately 4,700 vehicles per day 
crossing the bridge since the test regulations went into effect. In 
conclusion, the test regulation appears to be reducing the number of 
bridge openings during the weekdays, allowing more vehicles to cross 
the bridge, and therefore helping to reduce vehicular traffic 
congestion in the area. The test regulation also appears to be having a 
minimal impact on maritime traffic. The City would like to continue to 
institute this temporary regulation until construction on the new 
Gilmerton Bridge is completed sometime in 2013.
    Based on the information provided, we will implement a final rule 
with minimal changes to the NPRM.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and 
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses 
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as 
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and 
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential 
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866 
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management 
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We reached this conclusion based on the fact that the changes are 
expected to have only a minimal impact on maritime traffic transiting 
the bridge. Mariners can plan their trips in accordance with the 
scheduled bridge openings to minimize delays.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities'' 
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are 
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, 
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.

[[Page 34851]]

This rule will affect the following entities, some of which might be 
small entities: Owners and operators of vessels other than certain 
commercial cargo vessels needing to transit the bridge. This rule will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities because the rule only adds minimal restrictions to the 
movement of navigation, by expanding the morning and evening rush hour 
periods by one hour on the weekdays and implementing scheduled bridge 
openings between the rush hour periods on weekdays and on the weekends. 
Mariners who plan their transits in accordance with the scheduled 
bridge openings can minimize delay.
    We received comments about delay issues and have determined that a 
10-minute delay of the opening for vessels that are unable to make the 
half-hour opening is reasonable. In addition, for those vessels whose 
transit is delayed due to an opening of the Norfolk & Southern Railroad 
Bridge 7, the Gilmerton (US13/460) Bridge drawtender may 
provide a single opening after the Norfolk & Southern Railroad Bridge 
7 reopens such that those vessels may continue their transit 
without further delay.
    Though two comments were received regarding vessel transit time to 
Belhaven, NC: (i) This change is only temporary; (ii) this change only 
adds one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening when the draw 
need not open for recreational and some commercial vessels; (iii) 
mariners may pre-plan their trips in accordance with this regulation; 
(iv) this regulation has been tested for approximately the past three 
months, thereby providing additional notice to mariners and providing a 
time-period for them to acquaint themselves with any necessary 
scheduling alterations for their planned trips; and (v) this change is 
meant to assist with better facilitating rush hour vehicular traffic 
for the approximately 20,000 vehicles transiting the bridge while not 
unreasonably interfering with maritime transiting.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offered to assist small 
entities in understanding the rule so that they could better evaluate 
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal 
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal 
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory 
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory 
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and 
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to 
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR 
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small 
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or 
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, 
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local 
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial 
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under 
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for 
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) 
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary 
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may 
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in 
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for 
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in 
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere 
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not affect a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental 
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property 
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) 
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, 
eliminates ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule 
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might 
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have Tribal implications under Executive Order 
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, 
because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more 
Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and 
Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant 
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to 
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use 
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy 
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects 
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards 
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, 
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why 
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or 
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical 
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or 
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management 
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus 
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not 
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security 
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which 
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and

[[Page 34852]]

have concluded that this action is one of a category of actions which 
do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the 
human environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-
1, paragraph (32)(e) of the Instruction as this rule is related to the 
promulgation of operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an 
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion 
determination are not required for this rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117

    Bridges.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends 
33 CFR part 117 as follows:
