    The waterway is transited by commercial barge traffic of various 
sizes.

[[Page 75328]]

    The bridge owner, New York City DOT, requested a temporary 
deviation from the normal operating schedule to perform span locks 
adjustment at the bridge.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Pulaski Bridge shall remain in 
the closed position as follows:
    November 8, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 9, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 10, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 11, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 15, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 16, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 17, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 18, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 22, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    November 23, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.

    December 1, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    December 2, 2016 between 12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    Vessels able to pass under the bridge in the closed position may do 
so at anytime. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies and 
there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass.
    The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterways through our 
Local Notice and Broadcast to Mariners of the change in operating 
schedule for the bridge so that vessel operations can arrange their 
transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation. The 
Coast Guard notified known companies of the commercial oil and barge 
vessels in the area and they have no objections to 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.
