SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CSX Transportation requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the Swing Span Bridge across Chickasaw Creek, mile 0.0, in Mobile, Alabama. The bridge has a vertical clearance of 6 feet above mean high water in the closed-to-navigation position and unlimited in the open-tonavigation position. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, the bridge currently opens on signal for the passage of vessels. This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to navigation from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday, October, 30, 2011. At all other times, the bridge will open on signal for the passage of vessels. The closure is necessary in order to effect repairs to structural members of the bridge. This maintenance is essential for the continued operation of the bridge. Notices will be published in the Eighth Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners and will be broadcast via the Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to Mariners System. DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Navigation on the waterway consists mainly of tugs with tows and ships. Coordination between the Coast Guard and the waterway users determined that there should not be any significant effects on these vessels. There are no alternate routes available to vessel traffic. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies. 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. Dated: September 19, 2011. David M. Frank, Bridge Administrator.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Oceanic Bridge, across the Navesink (Swimming) River, mile 4.5, between Oceanic and Locust Point, New Jersey, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 22 feet at mean high water and 24 feet at mean low water. The drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.734. The vessel traffic that normally transits the bridge are seasonal recreational vessels. The owner of the bridge, County of Monmouth New Jersey, requested a temporary deviation from the regulations to facilitate bridge rehabilitation repairs. During the bridge repairs only one moveable span can be opened for the passage of vessel traffic. The navigation channel under the bridge provides 75 feet of horizontal clearance with unobstructed vertical clearance in the open position. During this temporary deviation the horizontal clearance in the main channel will provide 37.5 feet of horizontal clearance keeping one moveable span in the closed position. The Coast Guard believes that this temporary deviation meets the reasonable needs of navigation because the recreational users that normally use this bridge do not operate during the winter months when this deviation will be in effect and the 37.5 feet of horizontal clearance should be sufficient for the seasonal recreational vessel traffic that uses this waterway. Under this temporary deviation the Oceanic Bridge may open only one of the two moveable spans for the passage of vessel traffic between October 31, 2011 and April 27, 2012. Vessels that can pass under the bridge in the closed position may do so at any time. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the bridge must return to its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated time period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Smith Point Bridge, across Narrow Bay, mile 6.1, between Smith Point and Fire Island, New York, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 16 feet at mean high water and 18 feet at mean low water. The drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.799(d). The waterway users are recreational vessels of various sizes.

During the bridge repairs only one moveable span will be opened for the passage of vessel traffic. The main navigation channel provides 55 feet of horizontal clearance with unobstructed vertical clearance during a bridge opening. During this temporary deviation the main channel will only provide 27.5 feet of horizontal clearance with unobstructed vertical clearance during a bridge opening. The Coast Guard believes that this temporary deviation should meet the reasonable needs of navigation because the recreational users that normally use this bridge are recreational vessels that can safely pass through a 27.5 foot horizontal clearance due to their relative small size. In addition, most of the above recreational vessels do not operate during the fall and winter months when this deviation will be in effect. Under this temporary deviation the Smith Point Bridge may open only one of the two moveable spans for the passage of vessel traffic between September 26, 2011 and December 21, 2011. Vessels that can pass under the bridge in the closed position may do so at any time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Oceanic Bridge, across the Navesink 
(Swimming) River, mile 4.5, between Oceanic and Locust Point, New

mean high water and 24 feet at mean low water. The drawbridge operation 
regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.734.
    The vessel traffic that normally transits the bridge are seasonal 
recreational vessels.
    The owner of the bridge, County of Monmouth New Jersey, requested a 
temporary deviation from the regulations to facilitate bridge 
rehabilitation repairs. During the bridge repairs only one moveable 
span can be opened for the passage of vessel traffic.
    The navigation channel under the bridge provides 75 feet of 
horizontal clearance with unobstructed vertical clearance in the open 
position.
    During this temporary deviation the horizontal clearance in the 
main channel will provide 37.5 feet of horizontal clearance keeping one 
moveable span in the closed position.
    The Coast Guard believes that this temporary deviation meets the 
reasonable needs of navigation because the recreational users that 
normally use this bridge do not operate during the winter months when 
this deviation will be in effect and the 37.5 feet of horizontal 
clearance should be sufficient for the seasonal recreational vessel 
traffic that uses this waterway.
    Under this temporary deviation the Oceanic Bridge may open only one 
of the two moveable spans for the passage of vessel traffic between 
October 31, 2011 and April 27, 2012.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge in the closed position may 
do so at any time.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the bridge 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.
