on May 15, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
US17–264 Bridge, a swing-type bridge,
has a vertical clearance in the closed
position to vessels of six feet, above
mean high water.
The contractor, on behalf of the North
Carolina Department of Transportation
(the bridge owner), has requested a
temporary deviation from the current
operating regulations set out in 33 CFR
117.831 to close the swing bridge to
navigation to facilitate sandblasting,
cleaning and painting of the bridge.
To facilitate this operation, the US17–
264 Bridge will be maintained in the
closed-to-navigation position beginning
at 7 a.m. on November 15, 2007, until
and including 7 a.m. on May 15, 2008.
In addition, the work requires
installation of a platform the full length
of the swing span portion of bridge
reducing the available vertical clearance
by approximately two feet.
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.
We have analyzed this temporary
deviation under Commandant
Instruction M16475.lD and Department
of Homeland Security Management
Directive 5100.1, which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f). The
environmental impact that this
temporary deviation will have is
minimal because of the drawbridge
being closed to vessels to perform
routine repair and maintenance will not
result in a change in functional use, or
an impact on a historically significant
element or setting.
