the Hackensack River at mile 1.8, at
Jersey City, New Jersey, has a vertical
clearance in the closed position of 35
feet at mean high water and 40 feet at
mean low water. The bridge opens on
signal as required by 33 CFR
117.723(a)(5).
The bridge owner, the New Jersey
Department of Transportation, requested
a temporary deviation to require at least
a two hour advance notice for bridge
openings to allow workers sufficient
time to clear painting equipment from
the lift span in order to provide bridge
openings.
In addition, several bridge closures
will be necessary during the effective
time period for this temporary deviation
in order to facilitate various phases of
this bridge painting project that must be
completed with the bridge closed.
The exact times and dates for the
bridge closures could not be determined
prior to publication of this temporary
deviation. They will be announced in
the Local Notice to Mariners two weeks
prior to their implementation. A
broadcast notice to mariners will also be
initiated twenty four hours in advance
to further inform mariners of the
proposed bridge closures.
Under this deviation the Route 1 & 9
(Lincoln Highway) Bridge shall require
at least a two hour advance notice for
bridge openings from April 1, 2010
through September 15, 2010. In
addition, several bridge closures to be
announced as stated above, will occur
during the effective period of this
temporary deviation from April 1, 2010
and September 15, 2010.
Vessels able to pass under the closed
draw may do so at all times.
The waterway is primarily used by
deep draft tankers, tugs and barge units.
Waterway users were advised of the
requested bridge closure period and
offered no objection.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the bridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard Captain of

Duluth, MN is establishing a temporary
safety zone on the waters of the Red
River, MN. This safety zone is being

public. The safety zone will prevent
individuals from entering all navigable
waters of the Red River in the State of
Minnesota north of a line drawn across
latitude 46°20′00″ N, including those
portions of the river in Wilkin, Clay,
Norman, Polk, Marshall and Kittson
counties, to the United States-Canada
international border.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is
effective in the CFR from March 31,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because
immediate action is necessary to
provide for the safety of life and
property on navigable waters.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Good cause for making this
rule effective less than 30 days after
publication exists because delaying the
effective date would be contrary to
public interest because of the dangers
associated with emergency flooding
conditions on the Red River.
Background and Purpose
Flooding conditions along the Red
River have created serious dangers to
the boating public. The strong currents
and floating debris associated with the
flooding of the Red River necessitate the
Coast Guard limiting access to the
portions of the river affected by this rule
in order to protect the public.
This temporary safety zone is
necessary to ensure the safety of the
public from hazards involved with the
flooding of the Red River. Restricted
access to the Red River by the public
will help ensure the safety of persons
and property along the Red River.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
temporary safety zone to encompass
certain waters of the Red River in the
Duluth Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone.
The safety zone will prevent individuals
from entering all navigable waters of the
Red River in the State of Minnesota
north of a line drawn across latitude
46°20′00″ N, including those portions of
the river in Wilkin, Clay, Norman, Polk,
Marshall and Kittson counties, to the
United States-Canada international
border.
The COTP may stop enforcement of
this safety zone before 5 p.m. on April
