Drawbridge Operation Regulations;
Bayou Lafourche, LA
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of temporary deviation
from regulations; request for comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is issuing a
temporary deviation to the operating
schedule that regulates six drawbridges
across Bayou Lafourche, Lafourche
Parish, Louisiana. These drawbridges
are located south of the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway and cross Bayou Lafourche at
miles 38.7, 36.3, 33.9, 30.6, 27.8 and
23.9. This deviation is needed to collect
and analyze information on vehicle
traffic congestion on SR 308 and LA–1
created when the drawbridges open to
vessels and the impact to the reasonable
needs of navigation when the bridges
close to vessels during periods of high
vehicle traffic. During this temporary
deviation the drawbridge will remain
closed to navigation.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
6 a.m. on March 25, 2019 to 6 a.m. on
July 22, 2019. Comments and related
material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before August 22, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2019–0155 using Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov.
See the ‘‘Public Participation and
Request for Comments’’ portion of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
further instructions on submitting
comments.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 56 / Friday, March 22, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The Greater Lafourche Port
Commission (GLPC) has requested to
change the operating requirements for
the following bridges that cross Bayou
Lafourche in Lafourche Parish,
Louisiana: Larose vertical lift bridge,
mile 38.7, Larose, LA; Cut Off vertical
lift bridge, mile 36.3, Cut Off, LA; Cote
Blanche pontoon bridge, mile 33.6, Cut
Off, LA; Tarpon vertical lift bridge, mile
30.6, Galliano, LA; Galliano pontoon
bridge, mile 27.8, Galliano, LA; Golden
Meadow vertical lift bridge, mile 23.9,
Golden Meadow, LA. These bridges
currently open according to 33 CFR
117.465.
The GLPC requested changing these
bridge operating regulations because
vehicle and school bus traffic has
become congested along SR 308 and
LA–1 during morning commute hours.
There are five schools located along this
part of Bayou Lafourche. School buses
must cross the drawbridges to pick up
and deliver students to their respective
schools. School buses recently began
picking up students 15 minutes earlier
in the morning. To alleviate bus and
vehicle congestion GLPC has asked to
align morning bridge closures with this
shift in student pick-up times.
The 120-day temporary deviation to
the regulation will allow GLPC to
collect additional vehicle traffic data to
measure the impact of bridge closures
on traffic congestion. It will also allow
the Coast Guard to collect data on the
impact of the proposed regulation
change on vessels.
During this temporary deviation these
bridges will operate as follows:
The draws of the following bridges
shall open on signal; except that, from
August 1 through May 31, the draw
need not open for the passage of vessels
Monday through Friday except Federal
holidays from 6:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m.;
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 4:30 p.m.
to 5:30 p.m., unless otherwise indicated:
(1) SR 308 (Golden Meadow) Bridge,
mile 23.9, at Golden Meadow
(2) Galliano Pontoon Bridge, mile 27.8,
at Galliano
(3) SR 308 (South Lafourche (Tarpon))
Bridge, mile 30.6, at Galliano
(4) Cote Blanche Pontoon Bridge, mile
33.9, at Cutoff
(5) Cutoff Vertical Lift Bridge, mile 36.3,
at Cutoff
(6) LA–657 (Larose) Vertical Lift Bridge,
mile 38.7, at Larose.
The bridge will open on signal for
emergencies.
The Coast Guard will also inform the
users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:22 Mar 21, 2019
Jkt 247001
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessel operators 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.

mile 23.9, Golden Meadow, LA. These bridges currently open according to
33 CFR 117.465.
