[Docket No. USCG-2018-0033]


Drawbridge Operation Regulation; New Jersey Intracoastal 
Waterway, Beach Thorofare, Margate City, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation; modification.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has modified a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule that governs the Margate Boulevard/Margate Bridge, 
which carries Margate Boulevard across the New Jersey Intracoastal 
Waterway, Beach Thorofare, mile 74.0, at Margate City, NJ. This 
modified deviation is necessary to facilitate bridge maintenance. This 
modified deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-
navigation position.

DATES: This modified deviation is effective without actual notice from 
March 15, 2018 through 7 p.m. on March 26, 2018. For the purposes of 
enforcement, actual notice will be used from 7:01 p.m. on March 12, 
2018 until March 15, 2018.

temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Michael R. Thorogood, Bridge 
Administration Branch Fifth District, Coast Guard, telephone 757-398-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 1, 2018, the Coast Guard 
published a temporary deviation entitled, ``Drawbridge Operation 
Regulation; New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway, Beach Thorofare, Margate 
City, NJ'' in the Federal Register (83 FR 4585). That document resulted 
from Ole Hansen and Sons, Inc.'s, request for a temporary deviation, 
occurring from 7 a.m. on February 26, 2018, through 7 p.m. on March 12, 
2018, from normal operation of the drawbridge to facilitate bridge 
maintenance. Subsequent to the approval of that request, Ole Hansen & 
Sons Inc. requested a modification, extending the temporary deviation 
from 7:01 p.m. on March 12, 2018, through 7 p.m. on March 26, 2018, to 
allow more time to perform and complete bridge maintenance unable to be 
performed due to extreme inclement weather events during the previous 
temporary deviation. Therefore, the Coast Guard modifies the dates of 
the previously approved temporary deviation to allow the Margate 
Boulevard/Margate Bridge that carries Margate Boulevard across the New 
Jersey Intracoastal Waterway, Beach Thorofare, mile 74.0, at Margate 
City, NJ, to remain in the closed-to-navigation position from 7:01 p.m. 
on March 12, 2018, through 7 p.m., on March 26, 2018. The bridge has a 
vertical clearance of 14 feet above mean high water in the close 
position and unlimited clearance in the open position. The current 
operating schedule is set out in 33 CFR 117.5.
    The Beach Thorofare is used by a variety of vessels including 
recreational vessels. The Coast Guard has carefully coordinated the 
restrictions with waterway users in publishing this temporary 
deviation.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may 
do so at any time. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies 
and there is no immediate alternative route for vessels unable to pass 
through the bridge in the closed position. 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

[[Page 11416]]

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: March 12, 2018.
