SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Blynman (SR 127) Bridge across the 
Annisquam River and Blynman Canal, mile 0.0, at Gloucester, 
Massachusetts, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 8.2 
feet at mean high water and 16 feet at mean low water. The existing 
bridge operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.586.
    The owner of the bridge, Massachusetts Department of 
Transportation, requested a temporary deviation from the normal 
operating schedule to facilitate a public event, the Annual Saint 
Peter's Fiesta 5K Road Race.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Blynman (SR 127) Bridge may 
remain in the closed position for thirty minutes between 6:15 p.m. and 
6:45 p.m. on Thursday June 23, 2016.
    The waterways are transited by commercial and seasonal recreational 
vessels of various sizes. There is an alternate route for vessel 
traffic around Cape Ann. Also, vessels that can pass under the closed 
draws during this closure may do so at all times.
    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 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.

    Dated: April 5, 2016.
