Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 193 / Tuesday, October 6, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
33 CFR 117.5 which states it must open
promptly on signal at any time, and
requires constant attendance by with a
drawtender. BNSF RR Bridge 38.3
provides 5 feet of vertical clearance in
the closed-to-navigation position above
high-water, and at the lowest tides up to
16 feet may be available.
This deviation allows the BNSF RR
Bridge 38.3, at mile 1.5 crossing Ebey
Slough, to remain in the closed-to
navigation position, and need not open
for maritime traffic from 6 a.m. on
October 11, 2015 through 11:59 p.m. on
October 31, 2015. The bridge shall
operate in accordance to 33 CFR part
117 subpart A at all other times.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position may do so at any time. The
bridge will be required to open, if
needed, for vessels engaged in
emergency response operations during
this closure period, but any time lost to
emergency openings will necessitate a
time extension add to the approved
dates. Waterway usage on this part of
the Snohomish River and Ebey Slough
includes vessels ranging from a
commercial tug to small pleasure craft.
No immediate alternate route for vessels
to pass is available on this part of the
river. 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 drawbridges must return to their
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.
