SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Saugus RR Bridge, mile 2.1, across 
Saugus River has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 7 feet 
at mean high water and 17 feet at mean low water. The existing bridge 
operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.5.
    Saugus River is transited by commercial lobstermen and recreational 
vessel traffic.
    Keolis Commuter Railroad requested this temporary deviation from 
the normal operating schedule to facilitate essential maintenance 
repairs.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Saugus RR Bridge may remain in 
the closed position from 12:01 a.m. on September 12, 2015 to 11:59 p.m.

any time. The bridge will be able to open in the event of an emergency.
    The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterway 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.
