SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 1, 2017, we published a 
temporary deviation entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 
Willamette River, Portland, OR'' in the Federal Register (82 FR 41520). 
The temporary deviation provided Multnomah County with additional time 
to complete necessary bridge repairs. This deviation was authorized 
under 33 CFR 117.35.
    While replacing the bridge decking, the bridge owner's construction 
crew experienced delays with both material deliveries and machining 
bolt hole tolerances. Therefore, more time was needed to complete the 
necessary tests and inspections. The subject temporary deviation was 
approved by mistake in an attempt to give the bridge owner more time to 
finish construction. After approval of the temporary deviation it was 
discovered that 180 days would not be enough time to complete 
construction. After we approved this temporary deviation, we approved a 
temporary interim rule in order to provide more time to finish the 
bridge construction. The temporary interim rule effectively replaces 
the temporary deviation. Therefore, we are cancelling this temporary 
deviation; docket number USCG-2017-0826 concerning the Morrison Bridge.

    Dated: September 27, 2017.
