SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 26, 2018, we published a temporary deviation entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, Burlington, NJ and Bristol, PA’’ in the Federal Register (83 FR 18226). This temporary deviation was to facilitate bridge maintenance and painting of the vertical lift span of the drawbridge from May 1, 2018, through September 30, 2018. During the planned maintenance period, a work platform would have reduced one half of the bridge span vertical clearance to approximately 58 feet above mean high water in the closed position and approximately 132 feet above mean high water in the open position. The temporary deviation is being cancelled due to delays in performing bridge maintenance outside the navigation span, thereby eliminating the need for a temporary deviation to facilitate bridge maintenance in the sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:49 Aug 08, 2018 Jkt 244001 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 33 CFR Part 165 [Docket No. USCG–2018–0693] Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone— Milwaukee Open Water Swim Coast Guard, DHS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 26, 2018, we published a temporary 
deviation entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, 
Burlington, NJ and Bristol, PA'' in the Federal Register (83 FR 18226). 
This temporary deviation was to facilitate bridge maintenance and 
painting of the vertical lift span of the drawbridge from May 1, 2018, 
through September 30, 2018. During the planned maintenance period, a 
work platform would have reduced one half of the bridge span vertical 
clearance to approximately 58 feet above mean high water in the closed 
position and approximately 132 feet above mean high water in the open 
position.
    The temporary deviation is being cancelled due to delays in 
performing bridge maintenance outside the navigation span, thereby 
eliminating the need for a temporary deviation to facilitate bridge 
maintenance in the navigation span. Due to the cancellation of the 
work, this platform will not be installed and the bridge will operate 
under its regular operating schedule in 33 CFR 117.716. In accordance 
with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its regular 
operating schedule immediately at the end of the cancellation date of 
the deviation.

    Dated: August 2, 2018.

Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard District.
