SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Burlington County Bridge Commission,
who owns and operates this bascule
drawbridge, has requested a temporary
deviation from the current operating
regulations to facilitate the resurfacing
of the bridge roadway. The TaconyPalmyra Bridge (Route 73) at mile 107.2,
across the Delaware River, between PA
and NJ, has a vertical clearance in the
closed position of 50 feet above mean
high water.
Under the current operating schedule
set out in 33 CFR 117.5 and 117.716(b):
The regulation requires that the
drawbridge must open promptly and
fully for the passage of vessels when a
request or signal to open is given, and
that the opening not be delayed more
than five minutes.
Under this temporary deviation, the
bridge will be closed-to-navigation from
9 p.m., on June 13, 2014 until 9 p.m.,
on June 21, 2014. Vessels able to pass
through the bridge in the closed
position may do so at anytime. The
bridge will not be able to open for
emergencies and there is no alternate
route for vessels to pass this section of
the Delaware River.
The Coast Guard has coordinated this
with the Pilots Association for the Bay
and Delaware River, and will inform the
users of the waterway 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. Waterway
traffic consists of freighters, recreational
boats, tugs, and barges.
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.

District Annual and Recurring Safety
Zones Update
Coast Guard, DHS.
Interim final rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is amending
and updating its current list of recurring
safety zone regulations that take place in
the Eighth Coast Guard District area of
responsibility (AOR). This interim rule
informs the public of regularly
scheduled events that require additional
safety measures through establishing a
safety zone. Through this interim rule
the current list of recurring safety zones
is updated with revisions, additional
events, and removal of events that no
longer take place in the Eighth Coast
Guard District AOR. When these safety
zones are enforced, vessel traffic is
restricted from specified areas.
Additionally, this one rulemaking
project reduces administrative costs
involved in producing a separate rule
for each individual recurring safety zone
and serves to provide notice of the
known recurring safety zones
throughout the year.
DATES: This rule is effective April 22,
2014. Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before May 22, 2014.
