necessary to allow the community to participate in the Making Strides 
Walk against Breast Cancer event. This deviation allows the bridge to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The California Department of Transportation 
has requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower 
Drawbridge, mile 59.0, over Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The 
drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet 
above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw 
operates 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 11 a.m. on October 14, 2018, to allow the community to 
participate in the Making Strides Walk against Breast Cancer event. 
This temporary deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users. 
No objections to the proposed temporary deviation were raised. Vessels 
able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at 
anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and there is 
no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will 
also inform the users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast 
Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge 
so that vessel operators can arrange their transits to minimize any 
impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: September 6, 2018.
Carl T. Hausner,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
