SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The owner of the bridge, the New York City Department of 
Transportation, requested a temporary deviation to facilitate punch 
list work involving the Borden Avenue Bridge control house roof 
repairs. The Borden Avenue Bridge across Dutch Kills, Queens, has a 
vertical clearance in the closed position of 4 feet at mean high water 
and 9 feet at mean low water. The existing bridge operating regulations 
are found at 33 CFR 117.801(c).
    This temporary deviation allows the Borden Avenue Bridge to stay in 
the closed position from 12:01 a.m. on September 28, 2018 to 11:59 p.m. 
on November 17, 2018. At no time can the bridge open to marine traffic. 
No one has signaled to request that this bridge open to marine traffic 
since December 15, 2014. 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 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: October 11, 2018.
