Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Sacramento River, Sacramento, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule that governs the Tower Drawbridge across the 
Sacramento River, mile 59.0, at Sacramento, CA. The deviation is 
necessary to allow the community to participate in the FroYo Run event. 
This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation 
position during the deviation period.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. on August 
20, 2016.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2016-0729] is available 
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this 
temporary deviation, call or email David H. Sulouff, Chief, Bridge 
Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone 510-437-3516, email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: California Department of Transportation has 
requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower Drawbridge, 
mile 59.0, over Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The vertical lift 
bridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet above 
Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw operates 
as required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway is 
commercial and recreational.
    The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position 
from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. on August 20, 2016, to allow the community to 
participate in the FroYo Run event. This temporary deviation has been 
coordinated with the waterway users. No objections to the proposed 
temporary deviation were raised.
    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 immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast 
Guard will also inform the users of the waterway 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.
