SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Spuyten Duyvil Bridge, mile 7.9, across 
the Harlem River, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 5 
feet at mean high water and 9 feet at mean low water. The existing 
bridge operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.789(d).
    The waterway is transited by commercial vessels.
    The bridge owner, National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), 
requested a temporary deviation from the normal operating schedule to 
perform a test of the submarine cables at the bridge.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge shall 
remain in the closed position from 10 p.m. on December 9, 2016 to 7 
a.m. on December 11, 2016.
    Vessels able to pass under the bridge in the closed position may do 
so at any time. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and 
there is an alternate route for vessels to pass.
    The Coast Guard will 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 vessel operations 
can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the 
temporary deviation. The Coast Guard notified known companies of the 
commercial vessels, NYPD, and FDNY 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.

    Dated: October 31, 2016.
