SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sacramento County has requested a temporary 
change to the operation of the Walnut Grove Drawbridge, mile 26.7, over 
the Sacramento River, at Walnut Grove, CA. The drawbridge navigation 
span provides a vertical clearance of 21 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 11 a.m. through 3 p.m. on May 17, 2018, to allow the participants 
in the AMGEN Tour of California bicycle race to cross the drawspan 
safely and without interruption. 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. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and 
there is no immediate alternate route 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.
