SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Basis and Purpose

On April 28, 2015, we published a temporary deviation entitled “Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Lewis and Clark River, Astoria, OR” in the Federal Register (80 FR 23445). The temporary deviation concerned the operating schedule of the Oregon State (Lewis and Clark) highway bridge. This deviation allowed the bascule span to remain in the closed-to-navigation position to accommodate bridge maintenance activities on the bridge, and need not open to maritime traffic. This deviation from the operating regulations was authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

B. Cancellation

ODOT made a contract agreement after the requested temporary deviation was approved. At the time of the initial request submitted by the ODOT Project Manager, the bridge construction crew was planning to work Monday through Friday. However, on April 10, 2015, ODOT and the construction company changed the working days to Tuesday through Saturday. ODOT noticed the discrepancy after reviewing the approval letter. As a result of this discrepancy, the times listed in the approved temporary deviation are incorrect.

Dated: April 29, 2015.

Steven M. Fischer,

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
