SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New York City Department of 
Transportation, the bridge owner, requested a temporary deviation from 
the normal operating schedule to facilitate structural repairs. The 
Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge, across the Hutchinson River, mile 0.9 
at New York, New York has a vertical clearance of 30 feet at mean high 
water and 38 feet at mean low water in the closed position. The 
existing drawbridge operating regulations are listed at 33 CFR 
117.793(b).
    Under this temporary deviation, from 12:01 a.m. on July 16, 2018 to 
11:59 p.m. on September 16, 2018 the draw of the Hutchinson River 
Parkway Bridge will be closed to navigation for a period not to exceed 
14 days; the draw will then open for vessels in accordance with 
established operating regulations for a period not to exceed another 7 
days, after which the cycle will repeat.
    The waterway is transited by commercial and recreational traffic. 
The bridge owner notified known commercial vessel operators that 
transit the waterway and there were no objections to this temporary 
deviation. Vessels able to pass under 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 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 bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their 
transits to minimize any

[[Page 26365]]

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 24, 2018.
