Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
November 14, 2013. These time frames
were selected because it corresponds
with the closure of the Army Corps of
Engineering Hiram M. Chittenden lock
immediately upstream or inland of the
bridge on the Lake Washington Ship
Canal. This stretch of the Lake
Washington Ship Canal experiences
heavy waterway usage and is utilized by
vessels ranging from commercial tug
and barge to pleasure craft.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed positions may do so
at anytime. The bridge will not be able
to open for emergencies and there is no
immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass. The Coast Guard will also inform
the users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge 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 its 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.
Dated: August 27, 2013.
