This request was made to assist with vehicle congestion during the weekday daylight hours. 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 Blackburn Point Bridge shall open on signal; except that from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays, the draw need only open on the hour, twenty minutes after the hour, and forty minutes after the 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 period of this temporary deviation.

Background Information and Regulatory History DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule under authority in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory 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 ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ Prompt action is necessary to protect persons and vessels from the potential safety hazards associated with a moving flotilla of vessels and the potential for marine traffic congestion on the Lower Mississippi River. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must establish this safety zone by August 14, 2024. Also, 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 would be impracticable because prompt action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with a moving flotilla and the potential for marine traffic congestion on the Lower Mississippi River.

(GICW), mile 63.1, at Osprey, FL, is a swing bridge with a 9-foot 
vertical clearance at mean high water in the closed position. The 
normal operating schedule for the bridge is set forth in 33 CFR 117.5.
    The Coast Guard received a request from the Casey Key Association

Bridge

[[Page 63816]]

by allowing the drawbridge scheduled openings instead of on demand 
openings. This request was made to assist with vehicle congestion 
during the weekday daylight hours. 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 Blackburn Point Bridge shall 
open on signal; except that from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, except Federal holidays, the draw need only open on the hour, 
twenty minutes after the hour, and forty minutes after the 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 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
