Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Willamette River at Portland, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule that governs the Burnside Bridge across the 
Willamette River, mile 12.4, at Portland, OR. The deviation is 
necessary to accommodate a city parade event. This deviation allows the 
double bascule bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 9, 
2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this 
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Steven Fischer, Bridge 
Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District; telephone 206-220-7282, 
email d13-pf-d13bridges@uscg.mil.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Multnomah County, Oregon owns the Burnside 
Bridge, crossing the Willamette River, mile 12.4, at Portland, OR, and 
has requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule. The 
requested deviation is to accommodate the Spirit Mountain Casino Grand 
Floral Parade. To facilitate this event, the draw of the subject bridge 
will be authorized to remain in the closed-to-navigation position to 
marine traffic. This deviation period is from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 
9, 2018.
    The Burnside Bridge provides a vertical clearance of 41 feet in the 
closed-to-navigation position referenced to Columbia River Datum 0.0. 
The normal operating schedule is in 33 CFR 117.897. Waterway usage on 
this part of the Willamette River includes vessels ranging from 
commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft. The Coast Guard 
contacted all known users of the Willamette River for comment, and we 
received no objections for this deviation.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation 
position may do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open the 
span only for emergencies, and there is no immediate alternate route 
for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will inform the users of the 
waterway, through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners, of the 
change in operating schedule for the bridges so that vessels 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 schedules 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: May 15, 2018.
Steven M. Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
