SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule that governs the Tower Drawbridge across the 
Sacramento River, mile 59.0, at Sacramento, CA. The deviation is 
necessary to allow the community to participate in the Walk Against 
Breast Cancer event. This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the 
closed-to-navigation position during the deviation period.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 8 a.m. through 11 a.m. on

Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone 510-437-3516; email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The California Department of Transportation 
has requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower 
Drawbridge over the Sacramento River, mile 59.0, at Sacramento, CA. The 
drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet 
above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw 
operates as required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway 
is commercial and recreational.
    The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position 
from 8 a.m. through 11 a.m. on October 22, 2017, to allow the community 
to participate in the Walk Against Breast Cancer event. This temporary 
deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users. No objections 
to the proposed temporary deviation were raised. Vessels able to pass 
through the bridge in the closed position may do so at any time. In the 
event of an emergency the draw can open on signal if at least one hour 
notice is given to the bridge operator. There are no immediate 
alternate routes for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will also inform 
the users of the waterway 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.

    Dated: October 5, 2017.

District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
