SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 17, 2014, the Coast Guard’s notice of temporary deviation from regulations under the same docket number, USCG–2014–0977 was published in the Federal Register (79 FR 68365). That document resulted from Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) request for a temporary deviation, occurring from 8 a.m. on January 10, 2015 to 11 p.m. on February 15, 2015, from the normal operation of the drawbridge to perform adjustments on bridge joints. Subsequent to the approval of that request, Washington State Department of Transportation requested a modification to the temporary deviation for dates in early February, 2015 through early March, 2015 to complete removal of old warn joints, install and adjust new joints. Coordination between all interested parties determined that all work could be accomplished during one scheduled closure occurring in early February, 2015 to early March, 2015. This new scheduling avoids two separate deviations causing a longer term impact on navigation. Therefore, through this document, the Coast Guard modifies the dates of the previously approved temporary deviation. The modification allows the drawbridge of the SR 529 Twin Bridges south bound, mile 3.6, crossing the Snohomish River at Everett, WA, to open on demand with at least twenty four hours of notice for five days, and followed with a closedto-navigation position until early March, 2015. The deviation is effective from 7 a.m. on February 2, 2015, open on demand with at least a twenty four notice, until 6 a.m. on February 7, 2015. The drawbridge will then be in the closed-to-navigation position from 7 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 a.m. on February 7, 2015 until 11 p.m. on March 4, 2015. Notices of the deviation schedule will be published in the Thirteenth Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners and will be broadcast via the Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to Mariners System. A Broadcast Notice to Mariners will be used to update mariners of any changes to the planned schedule for this deviation. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge 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. Dated: February 2, 2015. Steven M. Fischer, Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) has requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6, crossing the Lake Washington Ship Canal at Seattle, WA. The deviation is necessary to accommodate SDOT workers for a bridge painting project. To facilitate this event, the full draw of the bridge will not open for vessel traffic unless a five hour notice is provided to the bridge operator. For all other openings, one half of the bridge, or single leaf, will remain in the closed position while reducing the vertical clearance of the non-operating span by four feet to account for the installation of a moveable platform underneath the bridge. The Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6, provides a vertical clearance of 14 feet (31 feet of vertical clearance for the center 36 horizontal feet) in the closed position. The clearance is referenced to the mean water elevation of Lake Washington. The normal operating schedule for the Fremont Bridge is set out in 33 CFR 117.1051 and states that the bridge need not open from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday except all Federal holidays but Columbus Day for any vessel of less than 1000 tons, unless the vessel has in tow a vessel of 1000 gross tons or over.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) 
has requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the 
Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6, crossing the Lake Washington Ship Canal at 
Seattle, WA. The deviation is necessary to accommodate SDOT workers for 
a bridge painting project. To facilitate this event, the full draw of 
the bridge will not open for vessel traffic unless a five hour notice 
is provided to the bridge operator. For all other openings, one half of 
the bridge, or single leaf, will remain in the closed position while 
reducing the vertical clearance of the non-operating span by four feet 
to account for the installation of a moveable platform underneath the 
bridge.
    The Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6, provides a vertical clearance of 14 
feet (31 feet of vertical clearance for the center 36 horizontal feet) 
in the closed position. The clearance is referenced to the mean water 
elevation of Lake Washington. The normal operating schedule for the 
Fremont Bridge is set out in 33 CFR 117.1051 and states that the bridge 
need not open from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday 
through Friday except all Federal holidays but Columbus Day for any 
vessel of less than 1000 tons, unless the vessel has in tow a vessel of 
1000 gross tons or over. The normal operating schedule for this bridge 
also requires one hour advance notification for bridge openings between 
11 p.m. and 7 a.m. daily. Waterway usage on the Lake Washington Ship 
Canal ranges from commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed positions may 
do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open one leaf, half of 
the draw span, for emergencies. Furthermore, 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 
vessels 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 designated 
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: January 28, 2015.
