FOR FUTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Rock
Island Arsenal requested a temporary
deviation to allow time to conduct
repairs to the Rock Island Railroad and
Highway Drawbridge, mile 482.9, at
Rock Island, Illinois across the Upper
Mississippi River. The Rock Island
Railroad and Highway Drawbridge
currently operates in accordance with
33 CFR 117.5 which requires the
drawbridge to open promptly and fully
for passage of vessels when a request to
open is given in accordance with 33
CFR part 117, subpart A. In order to
facilitate required bridge maintenance,
the bridge must be kept in the closedto-navigation position. This deviation
allows the drawbridge to remain closed
to navigation for three hours from 8 a.m.
until 11 a.m. on September 24, 2006.
There are no alternate routes for vessels
transiting this section of the Upper
Mississippi River.
The Rock Island Railroad and
Highway Drawbridge, in the closed-tonavigation position, provides a vertical
clearance of 23.8 feet above normal
pool. Navigation on the waterway

Drawbridge Operation Regulations;

Coast Guard, DHS.
Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
temporarily revising the drawbridge
operation regulations for the Ballard
Bridge, mile 1.1, and the Fremont
Bridge, mile 2.6, across the Lake
Washington Ship Canal at Seattle,
Washington. The temporary change will
increase the two daily closed draw
periods by one hour each from May 30,
2006 through March 30, 2007. This will
facilitate road traffic, which will be
severely limited by lane closures during
the rebuilding of the approaches to the
Fremont Bridge.
DATES: This temporary rule is effective
from May 30, 2006 to March 30, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this
preamble as being available in the
docket are part of docket [CGD13–06–
014] and are available for inspection or
copying at the Waterways Management
Branch, 13th Coast Guard District, 915
Second Avenue, Seattle, WA 98174–
1067 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for not publishing an NPRM. The City
of Seattle requested this temporary
change after first studying traffic signals,
lane closures and other aspects of the
project before concluding that this
change might significantly mitigate
traffic congestion on the affected
arterials with minimal impact to
navigation. The change would affect
only one or two draw openings per day
on average. The city, which owns the
bridges, has conducted public outreach
concerning the project and its request to
change the operating schedule of the
drawspans temporarily. This has
included several neighborhood meetings
in the project area. In addition, the
