SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The California Department of Transportation 
has requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower 
Drawbridge, mile 59.0, Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The Tower 
Drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet 
above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw 
opens on signal from May 1 through October 31 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. 
and from November 1 through April 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At all other 
times the draw shall open on signal if at least four hours notice is 
given, as required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway is 
commercial and recreational.
    The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position 
from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on April 17, 2011 to allow the community to 
participate in the Change of Pace Foundation's Capitol City Classic 
Foot Race. This temporary deviation has been coordinated with waterway 
users. There are no scheduled river boat cruises or anticipated levee 
maintenance during this deviation period. No objections to the proposed 
temporary deviation were raised.
    Vessels that can transit the bridge, while in the closed-to-
navigation position, may continue to do so at any time.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated 
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: April 4, 2011.
D.H. Sulouff,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
