Drawbridge Operation Regulation;
Isthmus Slough at Coos Bay, OR
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of deviation from
drawbridge regulation.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard has issued a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule that governs Oregon
Department of Transportation’s (ODOT)
Isthmus Slough Bridge, mile 1.0 across
Isthmus Slough at Coos Bay, OR. This
deviation is necessary to accommodate
painting and preservation and
upgrading electrical systems. The
deviation allows the bridge to operate in
single leaf mode or one half of the
bascule span, and reduce the vertical
clearance of the non-functional leaf.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
6 a.m. on September 1, 2017 to 6 a.m.
on February 26, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ODOT,
bridge owner, has requested a temporary
deviation from the operating schedule
for the Isthmus Slough Bridge, mile 1.0
across Isthmus Slough at Coos Bay, OR.
The requested deviation is to
accommodate painting and preservation
and upgrading electrical systems. To
facilitate this event, the double bascule
bridge will operate in single leaf mode
(half of the span), and reduce the
vertical clearance of the non-functioning
leaf. Isthmus Slough Bridge provides a
vertical clearance of 28 feet in the
closed-to-navigation position referenced
to the vertical clearance above mean
high water tide level. Ten feet of
containment will be installed under the
closed-to-navigation leaf only, and will
reduce the vertical clearance to 18 feet.
Vessels that do not require an opening
may transit under the bridge at any
time.
The normal operating schedule for the
subject bridge is 33 CFR 117.879. This
deviation allows the Isthmus Bridge to
operate in single leaf, half opening, and
reduce the vertical clearance of the nonfunctioning leaf by 10 feet to 18 feet;
and need not open for maritime traffic
from 6 a.m. on September 1, 2017 to 6
a.m. on February 26, 2018. The
functional bascule leaf shall open on
signal if at least 24 hours notice is given.
Waterway usage on Isthmus Slough
includes vessels ranging from small
commercial tugs, commercial fishing
vessels, police search and rescue to
small pleasure craft.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position may do so at any time. The
bridge will be able open half of the
double bascule in single leaf mode for
emergencies as soon as possible, and
there is no immediate alternate route for
vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will
inform the users of the waterway,
through our Local and Broadcast
Notices to Mariners, of the change in
operating schedule for the bridges 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 their
regular operating schedule immediately

AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard has modified
a temporary deviation from the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
15, 2017, the Coast Guard published a
temporary deviation entitled
‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation;
Willamette River, Portland, OR.’’ in the
Federal Register (82 FR 13757). That
temporary deviation, from 7 p.m. on
May 26, 2017 to 6 a.m. on September 20,
2017, allows the bridge to operate the
double bascule span one side at a time,
single leaf, to install and test new
equipment. The bridge owner,
Multnomah County, has requested a
modification of the currently published

deviation to cancel the dates before
August 15, 2017, and extend the dates
from 6 a.m. on August 16, 2017 to 6
p.m. on September 20, 2017; and from
6 a.m. on October 9, 2017, to 6 p.m. on
November 13, 2017, in order to
complete installation and test new
equipment after delays with work
contracts to the bridge deck.
The Broadway Bridge crosses the
Willamette River at mile 11.7, and
provides 90 feet of vertical clearance
above Columbia River Datum 0.0 while
in the closed-to-navigation position, and
provides 125 feet of horizontal clearance
with half the span open. The subject
bridge operates in accordance with 33
CFR 117.897. This modified deviation
allows the double bascule span of the
Broadway Bridge to operate in single
leaf mode for marine traffic. The
deviation period allows the drawspan to
operate single leaf and reduce the
vertical clearance of the non-functional
span from 90 feet to 80 feet during these
dates: from 6 a.m. on August 16, 2017
to 6 p.m. on September 20, 2017; and
from 6 a.m. on October 9, 2017, to 6
p.m. on November 13, 2017. The bridge
shall operate in accordance to 33 CFR
117.897 at all other times. Waterway
usage on this part of the Willamette
River includes vessels ranging from
commercial tug and barge to small
pleasure craft. We have coordinated
with the majority of known waterway
users and there were no objections to
this schedule.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed positions may do so
at any time. The bridge will be able to
open in single leaf 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
modified 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.

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters on the Mississippi
River from mile marker (MM) 96 to MM
96.5 Above Head of Passes. The safety
zone is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment
from potential hazards created by a
fireworks display. Entry of vessels or
persons into this zone is prohibited
unless specifically authorized by the
Captain of the Port, New Orleans
(COTP).
DATES: This rule is effective from 7:30
p.m. through 8:30 p.m. on August 21,
2017.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to
authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
36333
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is
impracticable. We must establish this
safety zone by August 21, 2017 and we
lack sufficient time to provide a
reasonable comment period and then
consider those comments before issuing
the rule. It is also contrary to the public
interest as it would delay the safety
measures necessary to protect life and
property from the possible hazards
associated with the fireworks display
launched from the waterway. The
impacts on navigation are expected to
be minimal as the safety zone will only
be in effect for a short duration of one
hour. The Coast Guard will notify the
public and maritime community that
the safety zone will be in effect and of
its enforcement periods via Broadcast
Notice to Mariners (BNM) and Marine
Safety Information Bulletin (MSIB).
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule is contrary to public interest
because it would delay the safety
measures necessary to respond to
potential safety hazards associated with
the fireworks display.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The
Captain of the Port New Orleans (COTP)
has determined that potential hazards
associated with a fireworks display on
August 21, 2017 will be a safety concern
for anyone on the navigable waterways
within a one-half mile range of the
fireworks. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone while the
fireworks are being launched.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 7:30 p.m. through 8:30 p.m. on
August 21, 2017. The safety zone will
cover all navigable waters from mile
marker 96 to 96.5 Above Head of Passes
on the Mississippi River. The duration
of the zone is intended to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters
from the hazards of the fireworks. No
vessel or person will be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
designated representative.
