Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Lafourche Bayou, Lafourche 
Parish, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; change of address and docket 
number for comments.

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

SUMMARY: On September 2, 2005, the Coast Guard published a notice and 
requested comments on a proposed change to regulations governing six 
drawbridges across Bayou Lafourche, south of the Gulf Intracoastal 
Waterway, in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. The proposed rule would 
change bridge schedules so that they would remain closed to navigation 
at various times on weekdays during the school year to facilitate the 
safe, efficient movement of staff, students and other residents within 
the parish. That notice was signed August 26, 2005, before Hurricane 
Katrina struck New Orleans and caused that city to be flooded. We have 
changed the address and docket number where comments on the proposed 
rule should be sent because of flood conditions in New Orleans.

DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or 
before November 1, 2005.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by Coast Guard docket 
number USCG-2005-22363 to the Docket Management Facility at the U.S. 
Department of Transportation. To avoid duplication, please use only one
