SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BNSF Railway Company has requested a 
temporary deviation from the operating schedule of the swing span 
railroad bridge across the Charenton Canal, mile 0.4, at Baldwin, St. 
Mary Parish, Louisiana. The bridge provides 10 feet of vertical 
clearance in the closed-to-navigation position. Due to the type of 
equipment being used and safety concerns, vessels will not be allowed 
to pass under the bridge while in the closed-to-navigation position. 
However, the bridge will be able to open in the event of an emergency.
    Navigation on the waterway consists of tugs with tows, fishing 
vessels, and recreational craft including sailboats and powerboats. An 
alternate route is available for mariners through the Berwick Locks. 
The alternate waterway route takes about 45 minutes to transit. Due to 
prior experience, as well as coordination with waterway users, and the 
alternate route through Berwick Locks, it has been determined that this 
closure will not have a significant effect on these vessels.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, the bridge currently opens on 
signal for the passage of vessels. This deviation allows the swing span 
of the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position from 7 
a.m. through 1 p.m. on Thursday, May 21, 2015.
    The closure is necessary to weld four joints and install insulated 
joints on the bridge. Notices will be published in the Eighth Coast 
Guard District Local Notice to Mariners and will be broadcast via the 
Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to Mariners System.
    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: May 7, 2015.
David M. Frank,
Bridge Administrator, Eighth Coast Guard District.
