Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the Oregon State highway bridge across Youngs Bay foot of Fifth Street, mile 2.4, at Astoria, OR. The common name of this bridge is Old Youngs Bay Bridge. The deviation is necessary to accommodate extensive maintenance and restoration efforts on this bridge. This deviation allows the double bascule span to operate in a single leaf mode when at least a threehour advance notification is given by marine vessels that require an opening, and the vertical clearance of the bridge to be reduced. DATES: This deviation is effective from 7 a.m. on February 15, 2016 to 11 p.m. on June 15, 2016. ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG–2016–0090] is available at https://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ‘‘SEARCH’’ box and click ‘‘SEARCH.’’ Click on Open Docket Folder on the line associated with this deviation. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this temporary deviation, call or email Steven M. Fischer, Thirteenth Coast Guard District Bridge Program Administrator, telephone 206–220–7282, email d13-pfd13bridges@uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) requested to reduce the vertical clearance of the Old Youngs Bay Bridge, mile 2.4, across Youngs Bay foot of Fifth Street at Astoria, OR, and to open half of the draw span when at least a threehour notice is given to the bridge operator by vessels wishing to pass. The requested period of deviation is from 7 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 a.m. on February 15, 2016 to 11 p.m. on June 15, 2016. The deviation is necessary to accommodate extensive maintenance and restoration efforts on this bridge. The Old Youngs Bay Bridge provides a vertical clearance approximately 19 feet above mean high water when in the closed-to-navigation position. The double bascule span of the bridge will have a containment system installed which will reduce the vertical clearance by 5 feet from 19 feet above mean high water to 14 feet above mean high water. The normal operating schedule can be found in 33 CFR 117.899(b). The deviation allows the double bascule span of the Old Youngs Bay Bridge to operate single leaf when at least three-hours of notice are given by mariners requiring an opening during the deviation period. Waterway usage on Youngs Bay is primarily small recreational boaters and fishing vessels. Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed positions may do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies if a three-hour notice is given to the bridge operator, 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: February 3, 2016. Steven M. Fischer, Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.

that an ``official passport'' may be issued to: An official or employee

spouses and family members of such persons; and, when authorized by the 
Department of State, U.S. government contractors traveling abroad to 
carry out official duties on behalf of the U.S. government.
    Increasingly, the federal government utilizes officials or 
employees of state, local, tribal, and territorial governments in 
support of federal activities, both domestically and overseas, such as 
the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Joint Terrorism Task Force. When 
required to travel internationally in support of such federal 
activities, these individuals are not currently eligible for official 
passports. Issuance of an official passport to such individuals 
signifies to foreign governments that they are carrying out official 
duties in support of the U.S. government. The activities undertaken by 
these officials are often of pressing national security, law 
enforcement, or humanitarian importance and occur with little advance 
notice. It is in the U.S. government's interest to provide these 
individuals the travel documents necessary to allow them to travel in a 
timely manner.
    Under 22 U.S.C. 211a et seq., the Secretary of State has the 
authority to make rules for the granting and issuance of passports. The 
Department is amending section 51.3(b) of 22 CFR to authorize issuing 
official passports to an official or employee of a state, local, 
tribal, or territorial government traveling abroad to carry out 
official duties in support of the U.S. government.
