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 22, 2012 to allow 

the community to participate in the 

Capitol City Classic run. 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 the event of an emergency the 

drawspan can be opened with 15 

minutes advance notice. 

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: March 22, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BNSF has 

requested that the BNSF Swing Bridge 

across Oregon Slough remain closed to 

vessel traffic to facilitate maintenance of 

the train signaling system. BNSF will be 

‘‘cutting over’’ the train signaling system 

to a new system on April 30, 2012. 

During this cut-over the swing span of 

the BNSF Railway Bridge across Oregon 

Slough will be disabled and the bridge 

will not be able to be opened. The BNSF 

Bridge crosses Oregon Slough at mile 

3.2 and in accordance to NOAA Chart 

18526 provides 39 feet of vertical 

clearance above Columbia River Datum 

0.0 while in the closed position. Vessels 

which do not require a bridge opening 

may continue to transit beneath the 

bridge during this closure period. Under 

normal conditions this bridge operates 

in accordance with 33 CFR 117.887 

which requires a half-hour advance 

notification when a bridge opening is 

needed. This deviation period is from 

8 a.m. on April 30, 2012 through 8 p.m. 

April 30, 2012. The deviation allows the 

swing span of the BNSF Railway Bridge 

across Oregon Slough, mile 3.2, to 

remain in the closed position and need 

not open for maritime traffic from 8 a.m. 

through 8 p.m. on April 30, 2012. The 

bridge shall operate in accordance to 33 

CFR § 117.887 at all other times. 

Waterway usage on this stretch of 

Oregon Slough includes vessels ranging 

from commercial sightseeing vessels to 

recreational pleasure craft including 

cabin cruisers and sailing vessels. 

Mariners will be notified and kept 

informed of the bridge’s operational 

status via the Coast Guard Notice to 

Mariners publication and Broadcast 

Notice to Mariners as appropriate. 

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 3, 2012
