Drawbridge Operating Regulation;

Sabine Lake, TX

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation

from regulations.

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eighth

Coast Guard District has issued a

temporary deviation from the regulation

in governing the operation of the State

Route 82, swing span bridge across

Sabine Lake, mile 10.0 at Port Arthur,

Texas. This deviation allows the State of

Texas, Department of Transportation to

close the bridge to navigation from 5

a.m. on July 9, 2001 through 9 p.m. on

July 27, 2001. Presently, the draw is

required to open on signal except that

from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., the draw shall

open on signal if at least six hours

notice is given to the Maintenance

Construction Supervisor or the

Maintenance Foreman at Port Arthur.

This temporary deviation was issued to

allow the replacement of mechanical

and electrical equipment and switching

over power and control to the recently

constructed new control house.

DATES: This deviation is effective from

5 a.m. on July 9, 2001 through 9 p.m.

on July 27, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated,

documents referred to in this notice are

available for inspection or copying at

the office of the Eighth Coast Guard

District, Bridge Administration Branch,

Commander (ob), 501 Magazine Street,

New Orleans, Louisiana, 70130–3396.

The Bridge Administration Branch

maintains the public docket for this

temporary deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David Frank, Bridge Administration

Branch, telephone (504) 589–2965.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The State

Route 82, swing span bridge across

Sabine Lake, mile 10.2, near Port

Arthur, Texas, has a vertical clearance

of 9 feet above high water in the closedto-navigation position and unlimited

clearance in the open-to-navigation

position. Navigation on the waterway

consists primarily of fishing vessels, and

recreational craft, although the bridge is

occasionally transited by small tugs

with tows, transporting sand, gravel and

marine shells. The State of Texas,

Department of Transportation requested

a temporary deviation from the normal

operation of the drawbridge in 33 CFR

117.979 in order to accommodate the

maintenance work, involving

construction of a new operator house

and replacement of the submarine

power supply cable and other electrical

and mechanical repairs. This

maintenance is necessary for the

continued operation of the bridge. An

alternate route via the Gulf Intracoastal

Waterway is available.

This deviation allows the draw of the

State Route 82 Bridge swing span

drawbridge across Sabine Lake, mile

10.0, to remain closed to navigation

from 5 a.m. on July 9, 2001 through 9

p.m. on July 27, 2001.

Island Lagoon area in Milwaukee

intended to restrict vessel traffic from

the waters of Harbor Island Lagoon.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

We did not publish a notice of

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this

regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists

for not publishing an NPRM, and, under

5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good cause exists for

making this rule effective less than 30

days after publication in the Federal

Register. The permit application did not

allow sufficient time for publication of

an NPRM followed by a temporary final

rule effective 30 days after publication.

Any delay of the effective date of this

rule would be contrary to the public

interest due to the known hazards

associated with the waterborne stunt/

skill shows being performed in the

Harbor Island Lagoon area and the

possible loss of life, injury, and damage

to property.

Background and Purpose

This safety zone is established to

safeguard the public from hazards

associated with the waterborne stunt/

skill shows being performed in the

Harbor Island Lagoon area. The size of

the zone was determined by using

previous experiences with waterborne

stunt/skill shows in the Captain of the

Port Milwaukee zone and local

knowledge about wind, waves, and

currents in this particular area.

The safety zone will be in effect from

Thursday, June 28, 2001, at 6 a.m. (CST)

through Thursday, July 12, 2001, at

12:00 midnight (CST) for the following

coordinates: from 43° 02.015′N, 087°

53.767′W, on the Harbor Island point

across the channel to 43° 02.058′N, 087°

53.841′W at the Summerfest Dock. The

entire Harbor Island Lagoon will be

secured for the duration of the festival.
