# SPECIAL NOTICES

# LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS DISTRIBUTION POLICY

1\. Due to increasing budget restraints and printing costs, the Eighth
Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners distribution policy is
being revised to

include the following change:

A. Multiple copies currently distributed to a single mailing address
will be reduced to a single copy. The Local Notice to Mariners is not a
copyrighted

document, therefore, recipients are encouraged to duplicate the
publication so as to meet their specific quantity need.

2\. Recipients are reminded that the Local Notice to Mariners is
available on the INTERNET at: HTTP://www.navcen.uscg.mil or

FTP://ftp.navcen.uscg.mil

3\. Mariners capable of downloading the Local Notice to Mariners from
the Internet are strongly encouraged to use this as their primary method
of

receiving the publication, and to remove themselves from the mailing
list by calling the phone number listed below.

4\. The Eighth Coast Guard District is also determining the feasibility
of implementing a local, FAX on demand service, for the Gulf of Mexico
and Western

Rivers Local Notice to Mariners. Updates on this service will be made
available weekly.

5\. This change in distribution policy is expected to take effect on or
about April 15, 1997.

6\. Questions may be directed to the Eighth Coast Guard District Aids to
Navigation Branch, Marine Information Section, at (504) 589-6277.

# SUPPLEMENTAL CHART INFORMATION TEMPORARY DRILL RIGS ESTABLISHED/REMOVED

The drill rigs and vessels that have been temporarily established, as
indicated in the below tabulation, will display lights and sound
signals, according to

size or class, during periods of darkness and reduced visibility.
Numerous, large anchor buoys which may be lighted by displaying a white
4 second

characteristic light and unlighted buoy may be established up to 2000 or
more yards from the vessel or rig site. Mariners should avoid passing
close

aboard the rigs or vessels. Offshore structures that have been
established will display lights and a fog signal sounding 1 blast (2
sec. blast) every 20

seconds. Mooring buoys (white with blue band) may be located within 500
yards of the structure for mooring attendant vessels and/or barges.
Mariners

should avoid passing close aboard structures. (Rig Abbreviations:
Jack-up-JU, Submersible-SU, Semi-Submersible-SS, Drillship-DS,
Barge-BR).

New Orleans, LA 70130-3396

Phone: (504) 589-6234

All comments submitted should include the following information:

\(A\) Quantity, type, capacity, and value of vessels involved and the
extent vessels traverse the area under consideration seasonally, by day,
and by night.

\(B\) Where practicable, the type of navigation devices, such as

# GENERAL INFORMATION 

# DRILL RIGS/VESSELS TEMPORARILY ESTABLISHED/OFFSHORE STRUCTURES ESTABLISHED

The drill rigs and vessels that have been temporarily established as
indicated in the Supplemental Chart Correction Section (5) will display
lights and

sound signals according to size or class during periods of darkness and

daylight hours only. It is anticipated that the north leaf will be
operational on or

about April 11, 1997. At that time the south leaf will be closed to

accomplished from

equipment which will be suspended beneath the draw span and will reduce
the vertical clearance from 25 feet to approximately 23 feet above mean

-   MS - INDUSTRIAL SEAWAY CANAL - Notice of Proposed Rulemaking -
    Solicitation of Comments

Mariners and other interested parties are notified that the Coast Guard
is considering changing the operating regulation for the Lorraine-Cowan
Road

Bascule Span Bridge across the Industrial Seaway Canal, Mile 11.3 at
Handsboro, Harrison County, Mississippi. The draw presently opens on
signal;

except that, the draw need not be opened from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.,
from noon to 1:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday,

except holidays. The proposed regulation would permit the draw to remain
closed to navigation from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 4:30 p.m. to

6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

This action is expected to relieve the growing congestion of vehicular
traffic which occurs on the bridge during peak rush hour periods, while
still providing

for the reasonable needs of navigation. Although the proposed change
would extend the morning closure by one hour and the afternoon closure
by one-

half hour, the 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. closure period that occurs under
present operating regulations would be eliminated. Vertical clearance of
the Lorraine-

Cowan Road Bridge across the Industrial Seaway Canal in the closed to
navigation position is 29 feet above mean high water and 31 feet above
mean

low water.

Interested parties who wish to comment are requested to express their
views in writing for support or opposition. Comments in opposition to
the proposal

must specify how the proposal would create a hardship on the objector's
method of operation. All comments will be fully evaluated before a final
decision

is made on this proposed change. Comments should be submitted to the
Eighth Coast Guard District, Bridge Administration Branch, at the
address given

on the cover page of this publication.

LA - INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY - LOUISA BRIDGE - Experimental Radio
Check-Point Signs - Request for Comments

Radio check-point signs have been established approximately one
half-mile east and west of the State Route 319 (Louisa) swing span
bridge across the

Intracoastal Waterway, mile 134.0 west of Harvey Lock. The signs are
4-feet by 4-feet, rectangular white dayboards with orange
retro-reflective

borders and black letters worded "DRAWBRIDGE APPROACH - HALF-MILE CHECK
POINT." The signs are part of an experiment to increase safety by

enhancing VHF-FM communications between vessels and the bridge. Prior to
approaching the Louisa bridge, vessels are requested to call the bridge

tender at the check-point sign, and advise him of the fact, even if
earlier communication with the bridge has been established. Providing
the bridge

tender with notice of a vessel's location at the one half-mile check
point is intended to give the tender a better opportunity to judge the
time needed to stop

vehicular traffic and initiate the procedure for opening the bridge.
Mariners are invited to provide written comments, regarding the
usefulness of the check

point signs, based on first hand experience. Comments should include
master's name, type and size of vessel, cargo and date and time of day
the vessel

called for a bridge opening. Comments should be addressed to: Commander
(ob), Eighth Coast Guard District, Hale Boggs Federal Building, Room

1313, 501 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130.
