Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Hutchinson River, New York, NY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from drawbridge regulation; 
modification.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has modified a temporary deviation from the

across the Hutchinson River, mile 0.9 at New York, New York. This 
deviation is necessary to complete application of protective coating on

deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation 
position for periods of up to two weeks in order to expedite work 
efforts.

DATES: This deviation is effective without actual notice from August 
28, 2017 through 12:01 a.m. on September 29, 2017. For the purposes of 
enforcement, actual notice will be used from 12:01 a.m. on August 22,

temporary deviation, call or email James M. Moore, Bridge Management 
Specialist, First District Bridge Branch, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 
212-514-4334, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New York City Department of 
Transportation, the owner of the bridge, requested a temporary 
deviation from the normal operating schedule to facilitate application 
of protective coating to the bridge as well as maintenance of operating 
machinery. The Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge, across the Hutchinson 
River, mile 0.9 at New York, New York has a vertical clearance of 30 
feet at mean high water and 38 feet at mean low water in the closed 
position. The existing drawbridge operating regulations are listed at 
33 CFR 117.793(b).
    On May 1, 2017, the Coast Guard published a temporary deviation 
entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Hutchinson River, New York, 
NY'' in the Federal Register (82 FR 20257). On July 6, 2017, the Coast 
Guard published a modified temporary deviation entitled ``Drawbridge 
Operation Regulation; Hutchinson River, New York, NY'' in the Federal 
Register (82 FR 31254). Under that modified temporary deviation, the 
draw of the Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge would remain closed to 
navigation for a period not to exceed 14 days; the draw would then open 
for vessels in accordance with established operating regulations for a 
period not to exceed 7 days, after which the cycle would repeat. 
Between September 1, 2017 and September 29, 2017, the draw would remain 
closed to navigation for a period not to exceed 7 days; the draw would 
then open for vessels in accordance with established operation 
regulations for another 7 days, after which the cycle would repeat.
    In the interest of expediting work efforts and closing the project 
out this year, the New York City Department of Transportation has 
requested that between August 18, 2017 and September 29, 2017 the draw 
of the Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge remain closed to navigation for 
a period not to exceed 14 days; the draw will then open for vessels in 
accordance with established operating regulations for a period not to 
exceed 7 days, after which the cycle will repeat.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so 
at all times. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies. 
There is no alternate route 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 vessel operators can arrange their 
transit to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.

[[Page 40700]]

    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: August 22, 2017.

Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, First Coast Guard District.
