SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Town of Hempstead Department of Public 
Works requested this temporary deviation and both Nassau County, the 
owner of the Long Beach Bridge, and the New York State Department of 
Transportation, the owner of the Loop Parkway Bridge, concur with the 
request to deviate from the normal operating schedules to facilitate 
the ``Annual Salute to Veterans and Fireworks Display.''
    The Long Beach Bridge across Reynolds Channel, mile 4.7, has a 
vertical clearance of 22 feet at mean high water and 24 feet at mean 
low water in the closed position. The existing drawbridge operating 
regulation is listed at 33 CFR 117.799(g). The Loop Parkway Bridge 
across Long Creek, mile 0.7, has a vertical clearance of 21 feet at 
mean high water and 25 feet at mean low water in the closed position. 
The existing drawbridge operating regulation is listed at 33 CFR 
117.799(f).
    The temporary deviation will allow both bridges to remain closed 
from 9:30 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2018 with rain date of July 1, 
2018. Reynolds Channel and Long Creek are transited by seasonal 
recreational vessels and commercial vessels. Coordination with Coast 
Guard Sector Long Island Sound has indicated no mariner objections to 
the proposed short-term closure of the bridges.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridges without an opening may do 
so at all times. The bridges will be able to open for emergencies. 
There is no alternate route for vessels to pass.
    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 bridges 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: May 25, 2018.
