[CGD07-07-021]


Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, 
Mile 1012.6, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commander, Seventh Coast Guard District, has issued a 
temporary deviation from the regulations governing the operation of the 
PGA Boulevard Drawbridge, across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway 
mile 1012.6, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida. This 
deviation allows the drawbridge to remain on single-leaf operations 
with a double-leaf opening available with a two-hour notice to the 
bridge tender. This deviation allows for several drawbridge closures in 
order to complete bridge repairs. The exact dates of the drawbridge 
closures will be published in the Local Notice to Mariners. The 
deviation is necessary to provide for worker and mariner safety during 
repairs to the drawbridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from February 26, 2007 until 7 p.m. 
on March 31, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Material received from the public, as well as documents 
indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket [CGD07-07-
021] will become part of this docket and will be available for 
inspection or copying at Commander (dpb), Seventh Coast Guard District, 
909 SE. 1st Avenue, Room 432, Miami, Florida 33131-3050 between 7:30 
a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Michael Lieberum, Seventh Coast 
Guard District, Bridge Branch at (305) 415-6744.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PGA Boulevard Drawbridge, across the 
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway mile 1012.6, North Palm Beach, Palm 
Beach County, Florida, is being repaired. The contractor representing 
The Florida Department of Transportation notified the Coast Guard that 
the current operation of the drawbridge would need to be temporarily 
changed to allow for final repairs to the structure. The current 
operating regulation in 33 CFR 117.261(s) requires that the drawspan 
shall open on the hour and half-hour.
    Under this deviation, the PGA Boulevard Drawbridge, across the 
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway mile 1012.6, North Palm Beach, Palm 
Beach County, Florida, will operate the drawspan on single-leaf 
operations with a double-leaf opening available with a two-hour notice 
to the bridge tender. This deviation will allow for several closures in 
order to complete bridge repairs. The exact dates of the closures will 
be published in the Local Notice to Mariners. This deviation from the 
operating regulation is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: February 13, 2007.
Greg Shapley,
Chief, Bridge Administration, Seventh Coast Guard District.
