SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Basis and Purpose

    On April 28, 2015, we published a temporary deviation entitled 
``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Lewis and Clark River, Astoria, OR'' 
in the Federal Register (80 FR 23445). The temporary deviation 
concerned the operating schedule of the Oregon State (Lewis and Clark) 
highway bridge. This deviation allowed the bascule span to remain in 
the closed-to-navigation position to accommodate bridge maintenance 
activities on the bridge, and need not open to maritime traffic. This 
deviation from the operating regulations was authorized under 33 CFR 
117.35.

B. Cancellation

    ODOT made a contract agreement after the requested temporary 
deviation was approved. At the time of the initial request submitted by 
the ODOT Project Manager, the bridge construction crew was planning to 
work Monday through Friday. However, on April 10, 2015, ODOT and the 
construction company changed the working days to Tuesday through 
Saturday. ODOT noticed the discrepancy after reviewing the approval 
letter. As a result of this discrepancy, the times listed in the 
approved temporary deviation are incorrect.

    Dated: April 29, 2015.
Steven M. Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
