SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis

    Lady's Island (Woods Memorial) Bridge across the Atlantic 
Intracoastal Waterway (AICW) (Beaufort River), mile 536.0, at Beaufort, 
SC, is a swing bridge with a 30-foot vertical clearance at mean high 
water in the closed position. The normal operating schedule for the 
bridge is found in 33 CFR 117.911(f).
    The Coast Guard received a request from SCDOT to consider changing 
the operating schedule for the Lady's Island (Woods Memorial) Bridge 
removing the seasonal operating schedule which would align with other 
drawbridges along the AICW in SC. This temporary deviation will test a 
change to the drawbridge operation schedule to determine if the 
reasonable needs of navigation are maintained and whether a permanent 
change to the schedule is needed.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Lady's Island (Woods Memorial) 
Bridge shall open on signal; except that the draw need not open from 6 
a.m. to 9:29 a.m. and 3:31 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, 
except Federal holidays. Between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, except Federal holidays, the draw need open only once 
an hour on the half hour. Public vessels of the United States and tugs 
with tows, upon proper signal, will be passed through any time. Vessels 
able to pass without an opening may do so at any time.
    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 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
