Expected operational limitations may be taken into account in establishing Pj as the probability of failure occurrence for determining the safety margin in Figure 1. Flight limitations and expected operational limitations may be taken into account in establishing Qj as the combined probability of being in the dispatched failure condition and the subsequent failure condition for the safety margins in Figures 2 and 3. These limitations must be such that the probability of being in this combined failure state, and then subsequently encountering limit load conditions, is extremely improbable. No reduction in these safety margins is allowed if the subsequent system-failure rate is greater than 10¥3 per flight hour. Issued in Renton, Washington.

This deviation is necessary to accommodate painting and preservation and upgrading electrical systems. The deviation allows the bridge to operate in single leaf mode or one half of the bascule span, and reduce the vertical clearance of the non-functional leaf.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ODOT, bridge owner, has requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the Isthmus Slough Bridge, mile 1.0 across Isthmus Slough at Coos Bay, OR. The requested deviation is to accommodate painting and preservation and upgrading electrical systems. To facilitate this event, the double bascule bridge will operate in single leaf mode (half of the span), and reduce the vertical clearance of the non-functioning leaf. Isthmus Slough Bridge provides a vertical clearance of 28 feet in the closed-to-navigation position referenced to the vertical clearance above mean high water tide level. Ten feet of containment will be installed under the closed-to-navigation leaf only, and will reduce the vertical clearance to 18 feet. Vessels that do not require an opening may transit under the bridge at any time. The normal operating schedule for the subject bridge is 33 CFR 117.879. This deviation allows the Isthmus Bridge to operate in single leaf, half opening, and reduce the vertical clearance of the nonfunctioning leaf by 10 feet to 18 feet; and need not open for maritime traffic from 6 a.m. on September 1, 2017 to 6 a.m. on February 26, 2018. The functional bascule leaf shall open on signal if at least 24 hours notice is given. Waterway usage on Isthmus Slough includes vessels ranging from small commercial tugs, commercial fishing vessels, police search and rescue to small pleasure craft. Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation position may do so at any time. The bridge will be able open half of the double bascule in single leaf mode for emergencies as soon as possible, and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterway, through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners, of the change in operating schedule for the bridges 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 their regular operating schedule immediately PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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: July 25, 2017. Steven Michael Fischer, Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ODOT, bridge owner, has requested a 
temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the Isthmus Slough 
Bridge, mile 1.0 across Isthmus Slough at Coos Bay, OR. The requested 
deviation is to accommodate painting and preservation and upgrading 
electrical systems. To facilitate this event, the double bascule bridge 
will operate in single leaf mode (half of the span), and reduce the 
vertical clearance of the non-functioning leaf. Isthmus Slough Bridge 
provides a vertical clearance of 28 feet in the closed-to-navigation 
position referenced to the vertical clearance above mean high water 
tide level. Ten feet of containment will be installed under the closed-
to-navigation leaf only, and will reduce the vertical clearance to 18 
feet. Vessels that do not require an opening may transit under the 
bridge at any time.
    The normal operating schedule for the subject bridge is 33 CFR 
117.879. This deviation allows the Isthmus Bridge to operate in single 
leaf, half opening, and reduce the vertical clearance of the non-
functioning leaf by 10 feet to 18 feet; and need not open for maritime 
traffic from 6 a.m. on September 1, 2017 to 6 a.m. on February 26, 
2018. The functional bascule leaf shall open on signal if at least 24 
hours notice is given. Waterway usage on Isthmus Slough includes 
vessels ranging from small commercial tugs, commercial fishing vessels, 
police search and rescue to small pleasure craft.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation 
position may do so at any time. The bridge will be able open half of 
the double bascule in single leaf mode for emergencies as soon as 
possible, and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to 
pass. The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterway, through 
our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners, of the change in operating 
schedule for the bridges 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 
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.
