SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) has 
requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the 
Steel Bridge across the Willamette River, at mile 12.1, at Portland, 
OR. The deviation is necessary to accommodate participates in the 
Starlight Parade and Rose Parade events and mass transit vehicles. The 
Steel Bridge is a double-deck lift bridge with a lower lift deck and an 
upper lift deck which operate independent of each other. To facilitate 
this event, the upper deck will remain in closed-to-navigation 
position. When the lower deck is in the closed-to-navigation position, 
the bridge provides 26 feet of vertical clearance above Columbia River 
Datum 0.0; and in open-to-navigation position, the vertical clearance 
is 71 feet above Columbia River Datum 0.0. The deviation period is from 
7 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on June 3, 2017, and from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on June

[[Page 22612]]

10, 2017. The lower deck for the Steel Bridge will operate in 
accordance with 33 CFR 117.897(c)(3)(ii), and at all times outside the 
specified deviation period, the upper deck of the Steel Bridge will 
operate in accordance with 33 CFR 117.897(c)(3)(ii).
    Waterway usage on this part of the Willamette River includes 
vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft. 
Vessels able to pass through the bridge with the lower deck in the 
open-to-navigation position or upper deck in the closed-to-navigation 
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 has conducted a public outreach for this closure 
of the upper deck on the Steel Bridge to known mariners that transit on 
the river. The Coast Guard has not received any objections to this 
temporary deviation from the operating schedule. 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 vessel operators 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 designated 
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: May 9, 2017.

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
