Cunningham) Bridge across the Trent River, mile 0.0, at New Bern, NC. This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position to accommodate the free movement of pedestrians and vehicles during the 2015 New Bern Mumfest celebration. DATES: This deviation is effective from 9 a.m. on October 10, 2015, until 5 p.m. on October 11, 2015. ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2015-0932], is available at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH'' box and click ``SEARCH''.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Event Director for the New Burn Mumfest, with approval from the North Carolina Department of Transportation, who owns and operates the U.S. 70 (Alfred C. Cunningham) Bridge, has requested a temporary deviation from the current operating regulations to accommodate the free movement of pedestrians and vehicles during the 2015 New Bern MumFest celebration. The bridge is a [[Page 60295]] bascule bridge and has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 14 feet above mean high water. The current operating schedule is set out in 33 CFR 117.843(a). Under this temporary deviation, the bridge will open to marine traffic every two hours, on the hour, from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. on October 10, 2015 and from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on October 11, 2015. The bridge will operate per 33 CFR 117.843(a) from 7 p.m. on October 10, 2015 until 9 a.m. on October 11, 2015. The Trent River is used by a variety of vessels including small commercial vessels and recreational vessels. The Coast Guard has carefully coordinated the restrictions with commercial and recreational waterway users. Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and there is no alternate route for vessels unable to pass through the bridge in the closed position. The Coast Guard will also 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 impacts caused by this 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: October 1, 2015. Hal R. Pitts, Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard District.
