The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the SR 401 Drawbridge, mile 5.5 at Port Canaveral, Florida. The deviation is necessary to allow fuel trucks a less restrictive access to and from Port Canaveral to pick up and deliver fuel due to the critical fuel supply in the region. With the passage of Hurricane Irma, delivery of fuel from the port is critical to the local community and beyond. This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to navigation the majority of the day to facilitate the safe passage of vehicles picking up and delivering fuel.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule that governs the SR 401 Drawbridge, mile 5.5 at Port 
Canaveral, Florida. The deviation is necessary to allow fuel trucks a 
less restrictive access to and from Port Canaveral to pick up and 
deliver fuel due to the critical fuel supply in the region. With the 
passage of Hurricane Irma, delivery of fuel from the port is critical 
to the local community and beyond. This deviation allows the bridge to 
remain closed to navigation the majority of the day to facilitate the 
safe passage of vehicles picking up and delivering fuel.

DATES: This deviation is effective without actual notice from September 
21, 2017 through 6 a.m. on October 14, 2017. For the purposes of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 25, 2017, the Coast Guard published 
a temporary deviation entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 
Canaveral Barge Canal, Canaveral, FL in the Federal Register (82 FR 
18989). Under that temporary deviation, the bridge would remain in the 
closed-to-navigation position from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 
Sundays. On September 14, 2017, the Coast Guard received a request from 
Florida Department of Transportation the bridge owner, on behalf of the 
Port of Canaveral and Brevard County Emergency Operations Commission to 
modify the bridge operation schedule. This temporary deviation would 
suspend this prior action and allow the bridge to open on demand from 6 
a.m. to 6:30 a.m., noon to 2 p.m., 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and 9 p.m. to 
9:30 p.m. daily.
    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 through the 
bridge in closed positions. 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 effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
