SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Metro-North (Park Avenue) Bridge across 
the Harlem River, mile 2.1, at New York City, New York, has a vertical 
clearance in the closed position of 25 feet at mean high water and 30 
feet at mean low water. The existing bridge operating regulations are 
found at 33 CFR 117.789(c).
    The waterway is transited by commercial vessels.
    The bridge owner, Metro-North, requested a temporary deviation from 
the normal operating schedule to facilitate electrical repairs as a 
result of damage incurred from Hurricane Sandy.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Metro-North (Park Avenue) 
Bridge may remain in the closed position from March 13, 2015 through 
May 21, 2015.
    The habitual users can transit under the bridge without requesting 
bridge openings due to the high vertical clearance under the bridge.
    There are no alternate routes for vessel traffic; however, vessels 
that can pass under the closed draw during this closure may do so at 
all times. The bridge may not be opened in the event of an emergency.
    The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterways through our 
Local and Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the change in operating 
schedule for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to 
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: February 23, 2015.
