33 CFR Part 117 

[Docket No. USCG–2010–1080] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Upper Mississippi River, Hannibal, MO 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eighth 

Coast Guard District, has issued a 

temporary deviation from the regulation 

governing the operation of the Hannibal 

Railroad Drawbridge across the Upper 

Mississippi River, mile 309.9, at 

Hannibal, Missouri. The deviation is 

necessary to allow the bridge owner 

time to replace critical control 

components that are essential to the 

continued safe operation of the 

drawbridge. The work is scheduled in 

the winter, when the impact on 

navigation is minimal, instead of 

scheduling the work at other times in 

the year, when river traffic is prevalent. 

This deviation allows the bridge to 

remain in the closed-to-navigation 

position during work performance. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

12:01 a.m., January 5, 2011 to 12:01 

a.m., January 26, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in 

this preamble as being available in the 

docket are part of docket USCG–2010– 

1080 and are available online by going 

to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Norfolk Southern Railroad requested a 

temporary deviation for the Hannibal 

Railroad Drawbridge, across the Upper 

Mississippi River, mile 309.9, at 

Hannibal, Missouri to remain in the 

closed-to-navigation position for 21 

days from 12:01 a.m., January 5, 2011 to 

12:01 a.m., January 26, 2011 to allow the 

bridge owner time for preventive 

maintenance. The Hannibal Railroad 

Drawbridge currently operates in 

accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, which 

states the general requirement that 

drawbridges shall open promptly and 

fully for the passage of vessels when a 

request to open is given in accordance 

with the subpart. 

There are no alternate routes for 

vessels transiting this section of the 

Upper Mississippi River. 

Winter conditions on the Upper 

Mississippi River coupled with the 

closure of Army Corps of Engineer’s 

Lock No. 20 (Mile 343.2 UMR), Lock No. 

21 (Mile 324.9 UMR) and Lock No. 22 

(Mile 301.2 UMR) from January 3, 2011 

to March 4, 2011 will preclude any 

significant navigation demands for the 

drawspan opening. 

The Hannibal Railroad Drawbridge, in 

the closed-to-navigation position, 

provides a vertical clearance of 21.1 feet 

above normal pool. Navigation on the 

waterway consists primarily of 

commercial tows and recreational 

watercraft. The drawbridge will remain 

in the closed-to-navigation position for 

the 21-day period, January 5, 2011 to 

January 25, 2011. This temporary 

deviation has been coordinated with 

waterway users. 

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.
