Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 97 / Friday, May 21, 2021 / Rules and Regulations enforcement action is being taken to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during the event.
Our regulation for marine events within the Eleventh Coast Guard District, 100.1102, specifies the location of the regulated area for the Great Western Tube Float which encompasses the navigable waters of the Colorado River from Buckskin Mountain State Park to La Paz County Park. Under the provisions of 100.1102, persons and vessels are prohibited from anchoring, blocking, loitering, or impeding within this regulated area, unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, or his designated representative. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.
In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to Mariners and local advertising by the event sponsor.
If the Captain of the Port Sector San Diego or his designated representative determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the full duration stated on this document, he or she may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners or other communications coordinated with the event sponsor to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.
Dated: May 14, 2021.
T.J. Barelli, Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port San Diego.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History On February 25, 2021, the Coast Guard published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking entitled Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Savannah River, Savannah, GA in the Federal Register 86 FR 11478. There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this regulatory change.
During the comment period that ended April 12, 2021, we received one comment which is addressed in Section IV of this Final Rule.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under the authority of 33 U.S.C. 499.
The GDOT requested the Coast Guard consider changing the advance notification requirement for an opening from three hours to 24 hours at the Houlihan US 17 Bridge. The Coast Guard also considered changing the advance notification requirement for the Seaboard System Railroad Bridge, located approximately six miles upstream of the Houlihan US 17
Bridge, to a 24 hour advance notice providing consistency between the bridges.

Savannah, Georgia, is a swing bridge with a vertical clearance of seven feet at MHW in the closed to navigation position and a horizontal clearance of 90 feet between the fender system. The operating schedule for the bridge is set forth in 33 CFR 117.371a.
The Seaboard System Railroad Bridge across the Savannah River, mile 27.4, near Hardeeville, South Carolina, is a single-leaf bascule bridge with a vertical clearance of seven feet at MHW in the closed to navigation position and a horizontal clearance of 90 feet between the fender system. The operating schedule for the bridge is set forth in 33
CFR 117.371b.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule The Coast Guard is changing the operating schedule that governs the Houlihan US 17 Bridge across the Savannah River, mile 21.6, in Savannah, Georgia and the Seaboard System Railroad Bridge across the Savannah River, mile 27.4, near Hardeeville, South Carolina. The bridges currently operate with a three hour advance notice but will now require a 24 hour advance notice for an opening.
Additionally, the name and geographic location of the bridges will be updated.
One comment was received. The commenter is in support of the changes as it will benefit the maintenance workers on the bridge and it does not pose a threat to the environment. Also stated by the commenter, This action does not require the completion of an EIS under NEPA because it is not a major federal action and it does not pose a significant effect on the human environment. Based on the comment received, there are no changes to the regulatory text.
V. Regulatory Analyses We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and Executive Orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders, and we discuss First Amendment rights of protesters.
