SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The California Department of Transportation 
has requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower 
Drawbridge, mile 59.0, over Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The 
drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 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 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on August 25, 2018, to allow filming and a 
photoshoot for commercial advertisement. 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 anytime. 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.

    Dated: August 9, 2018.
Carl T. Hausner,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
