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.

[Docket No. USCG–2010–1004] 

RIN 1625–AA87 

Security Zone; Increase of Security 

Zones Under 33 CFR 165.1183 From 

100 to 500 Yards; San Francisco Bay, 

Delta Ports, Monterey Bay, and 

Humboldt Bay, CA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce 

a permanent increase in security zone 

size from 100 yards (91 meters) to 500 

yards (457 meters) for tankers, cruise 

ships, and High Value Assets (HVAs) 

while underway on the navigable waters 

of San Francisco Bay, Delta Ports, 

Monterey Bay, and Humboldt Bay, CA. 

Once a tanker, cruise ship, or HVA is 

anchored or moored within the 

navigable waters of San Francisco Bay, 

Delta Ports, Monterey Bay, and 

Humboldt Bay, CA, the security zone 

will decrease from 500 yards (457 

meters) to 100 yards (91 meters). 

Security zones are necessary to 

effectively protect HVAs and are only 

enforceable within the limits of that 

zone. Persons and vessels are prohibited 

from entering into, transiting through, or 

anchoring within the temporary security 

zones unless authorized by the Captain 

of the Port or their designated 

representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective May 16, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

On November 3, 2010, we published 

a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) entitled Security Zone; Increase 

of Security Zones under 33 CFR 

165.1183 from 100 to 500 yards; San 

Francisco Bay, Delta Ports, Monterey 

Bay, and Humboldt Bay, CA in the 

Federal Register (75FR212). We 

received 5 comments on the proposed 

rule. No public meeting was requested, 

and none was held. 

Background and Purpose 

Experiences during security zone 

enforcement operations, observations 

during boat tactics training, and 

discussions with Commanding Officers/ 

Officers in Charge and tactical 

coxswains from Sector San Francisco’s 

Level I Ports, Waterways & Coastal 

Security (PWCS) stations, has led 

Enforcement staff and field units to 

determine that 100-yard (91 meters) 

security zones are not adequate enough 

to protect transiting vessels from 

sabotage, subversive acts, accidents, 

criminal actions, or other causes of a 

similar nature. A 500 yard (457 meters)
