Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Arkansas Waterway, Little Rock, AR
Document Number: 2010-13121
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-06-02
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to revise the operating procedures on the Baring Cross Railroad Drawbridge across the Arkansas Waterway at mile 119.6 at Little Rock, AR, so that vessel operators will contact the remote drawbridge operator via microphone keying four times within five seconds on VHF-FM Channel 13 when requesting a draw opening.
