SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Loop Parkway Bridge, mile 0.7, across 
Long Creek has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 21 feet 
at mean high water and 25 feet at mean low water. The existing bridge 
operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.799(f).
    The Meadowbrook State Parkway Bridge, mile 12.8, across Sloop 
Channel has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 22 feet at 
mean high water and 25 feet at mean low water. The existing bridge 
operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.799(h). Long Creek and 
Sloop Channel are transited by commercial fishing and recreational 
vessel traffic.
    Long Island Cares, Inc. requested and the bridge owner for both 
bridges, the State of New York Department of Transportation, concurred 
with this temporary deviation from the normal operating schedule to 
facilitate a public event, the 2015 Dee Snider's Ride.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Loop Parkway and the 
Meadowbrook State Parkway Bridges may remain in the closed position 
between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on September 20, 2015.
    There are no alternate routes for vessel traffic; however, vessels 
that can pass under the closed draws during this closure may do so at 
any time. The bridges may 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 bridges 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 drawbridges 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.
