Cunningham) Bridge, a bascule lift bridge across Trent River, at mile 0.0, has a vertical clearance in the closed position to vessels of approximately 14 feet, above mean high water. On behalf of the City of New Bern NC, the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society has requested a temporary deviation from the current operating regulations of the bridge set out in 33 CFR 117.843 (a) to accommodate the Bike MS/Historic New Bern Ride. Under this deviation, the drawbridge would be allowed to remain in the closed position to vessels on two separate occasions on the following dates and times: For the Bike MS/ Historic New Bern Ride, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., on Saturday, September 10, 2011 and from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., on Sunday, September 11, 2011. There are no alternate routes for vessels transiting this section of the Trent River and the drawbridge will be able to open in the event of an emergency. The majority of the vessels that transit through this bridge during this time of year are primarily recreational boats. The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the closure periods for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviations. 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 periods. This deviation from the operating regulation is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The North Carolina Department of Transportation, who owns and operates this vertical lift bridge, has requested a temporary PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 deviation from the current operating regulations set out in 33 CFR 117.823, to facilitate painting of the structure. The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, at mile 26.8, at Wilmington NC has vertical clearances in the full open and closed position to vessels of 135 feet and 65 feet, above mean high water, respectively. Under the regular operating schedule, the bridge opens on signal as required by 33 CFR 117.5, except that under 33 CFR 117.823, the draw need not open for the passage of vessels from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the second Saturday of July and from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the second Sunday of November every year. This regulation does not change the provisions of 33 CFR 117.823 and therefore the draw need not open for the passage of vessels from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the second Sunday of November, specifically November 13, 2011. Under this temporary deviation, the drawbridge will operate as follows: From 6 a.m. on August 12, 2011 until and including 11:59 on December 1, 2011, vessel openings will be provided if at least three hours advance notice is given to the bridge operator at (910) 251–5773 or via marine radio on channel 18 VHF. In addition, to accommodate scaffolding, the available vertical clearances of portions of the drawbridge (up to half of the drawbridge at one time) will be reduced by approximately four feet, to 131 feet and 61 feet above mean high water, respectively. There are no alternate routes for vessels transiting this section of the Cape Fear River. The Bridge may be opened in the event of an emergency. Typical vessel traffic on the Cape Fear River includes a variety of vessels from freighters, tug and barge traffic, and recreational vessels. Vessels that can pass under the bridge without a bridge opening may continue to do so at anytime. The Coast Guard has carefully coordinated the restrictions with commercial and recreational waterway users. The Coast Guard will inform all users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the closure periods for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any impacts caused by the temporary deviation. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the draw must return to its original operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. E:\FR\FM\26AUR1.SGM 26AUR1
