published a temporary deviation entitled ``Drawbridge Operation 
Regulation; Long Creek & Sloop Channel, Hempstead, NY'' in the

[[Page 26130]]

Federal Register (81 FR 10086). The sponsor, Long Island Cares, Inc., 
has rescheduled the event from its original date of September 18, 2016 
to October 2, 2016.
    Long Island Cares, Inc. requested and the bridge owner for both 
bridges, the State of New York Department of Transportation, concurred 
with this modified temporary deviation from the normal operating 
schedule to facilitate a public event, the Dee Snider's Motorcycle Ride 
to Fight Hunger.
    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.
    Under this modified 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 October 2, 2016.
    Vessels able to pass under the bridge in the closed position may do 
so at anytime. The bridges will not be able to open for emergencies and 
there are no immediate alternate routes for vessels to pass.
    The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through 
our Local and Broadcast Notices 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 27, 2016.
