SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The California Department of Transportation 
has requested a temporary change to the operation of the Rio Vista 
Drawbridge, mile 12.8, over the Sacramento River, at Rio Vista, CA. The 
drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 18 feet 
above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. In 
accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, the draw opens on signal. Navigation on 
the waterway is commercial and recreational.
    From November 15, 2018 to February 15, 2019, the draw shall open 
for recreational vessels in accordance with the following schedule: 
Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the draw need not open for 
the passage of recreational vessels except between 11 a.m. and noon 
when the draw shall open on signal when notice is given to the bridge 
tender. The draw shall open on signal, Monday through Friday, 3:30 p.m. 
to 7 a.m. the following morning, if at least a 4-hour notification is 
given to the bridge tender. The draw shall open on signal from 7 a.m. 
on Saturday though 11:59 p.m. on Sunday when notice is given to the 
bridge tender.
    From November 15, 2018 to February 15, 2019, the draw shall open 
for commercial vessels in accordance with the following schedule: The 
draw shall open on signal from midnight on Monday through 7 a.m. on 
Saturday if at least a 4-hour notification is given to the bridge 
tender. The draw shall open on signal from 7 a.m. on Saturday through 
11:59 p.m. on Sunday when notice is given to the bridge tender.
    The temporary schedule change will allow the bridge owner to 
conduct needed maintenance and painting on the lift span portion of the 
bridge. 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 in 
accordance with 33 CFR 117.31(b). 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 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: November 6, 2018.
