SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Purpose

    On April 24, 2017, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) entitled, ``Banana River, Indian Harbour Beach, FL'' in the 
Federal Register (82 FR 18877). The original comment period closed on 
June 23, 2017. The NPRM proposed the initial change to the regulation 
governing the Mathers Bridge across the Banana River, mile 0.5, in 
Indian Harbour Beach, FL and contains useful background and analysis 
related to the initial proposed change. The public is encouraged to 
review the NPRM.
    The City of Indian Harbour Beach notified the Seventh Coast Guard 
District Bridge Office they were unaware of the proposed regulation 
change as it impacts their residents. Reopening the comment period and 
providing notification of this action to the local media should 
accomplish the goal intended, which is to reach a broader range of 
waterway and highway users.

II. Public Participation and Request for Comments

consideration of all comments and material received during the comment 
period will be made. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this

final. This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1223 and 5 
U.S.C. 552.
