23588 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 4, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

The waters of Lake Washington 

bounded by the Interstate 90 (Mercer 

Island/Lacey V. Murrow) Bridge, the 

western shore of Lake Washington, and 

the east/west line drawn tangent to 

Bailey Peninsula and along the 

shoreline of Mercer Island. 

The regulated area has been divided 

into two zones. The zones are separated 

by a line perpendicular from the I–90 

Bridge to the northwest corner of the 

East log boom and a line extending from 

the southeast corner of the East log 

boom to the southeast corner of the 

hydroplane race course and then to the 

northerly tip of Ohlers Island in 

Andrews Bay. The western zone is 

designated Zone I, the eastern zone, 

Zone II. (Refer to NOAA Chart 18447). 

The Coast Guard will maintain a 

patrol consisting of Coast Guard vessels, 

assisted by Auxiliary Coast Guard 

vessels, in Zone II. The Coast Guard 

patrol of this area is under the direction 

of the Coast Guard Patrol Commander 

(the ‘‘Patrol Commander’’). The Patrol 

Commander is empowered to control 

the movement of vessels on the 

racecourse and in the adjoining waters 

during the periods this regulation is in 

effect. The Patrol Commander may be 

assisted by other federal, state and local 

law enforcement agencies. 

Only authorized vessels may be 

allowed to enter Zone I during the hours 

this regulation is in effect. Vessels in the 

vicinity of Zone I shall maneuver and 

anchor as directed by Coast Guard 

Officers or Petty Officers. 

During the times in which this 

regulation is in effect, the following 

rules shall apply: 

1. Swimming, wading, or otherwise 

entering the water in Zone I by any 

person is prohibited while hydroplane 

boats are on the racecourse. At other 

times in Zone I, any person entering the 

water from the shoreline shall remain 

west of the swim line, denoted by 

buoys, and any person entering the 

water from the log boom shall remain 

within ten (10) feet of the log boom. 

2. Any person swimming or otherwise 

entering the water in Zone II shall 

remain within ten (10) feet of a vessel. 

3. Rafting to a log boom will be 

limited to groups of three vessels. 

4. Up to six (6) vessels may raft 

together in Zone II if none of the vessels 

are secured to a log boom. 

5. Only vessels authorized by the 

Patrol Commander, other law 

enforcement agencies or event sponsors 

shall be permitted to tow other 

watercraft or inflatable devices. 

6. Vessels proceeding in either Zone 

I or Zone II during the hours this 

regulation is in effect shall do so only 

at speeds which will create minimum 

wake, seven (07) miles per hour or less. 

This maximum speed may be reduced at 

the discretion of the Patrol Commander. 

7. Upon completion of the daily 

racing activities, all vessels leaving 

either Zone I or Zone II shall proceed at 

speeds of seven (07) miles per hour or 

less. The maximum speed may be 

reduced at the discretion of the Patrol 

Commander. 

8. A succession of sharp, short signals 

by whistle or horn from vessels 

patrolling the areas under the direction 

of the Patrol Commander shall serve as 

signal to stop. Vessels signaled shall 

stop and shall comply with the orders 

of the patrol vessel; failure to do so may 

result in expulsion from the area, 

citation for failure to comply, or both. 

The Coast Guard may be assisted by 

other Federal, State, or local law 

enforcement agencies in enforcing this 

regulation. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of 33 CFR 100.1301 and 5 U.S.C. 552(a). 

If the COTP determines that the 

regulated area need not be enforced for 

the full duration stated in this notice, he 

or she may use a Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners to grant general permission to 

enter the regulated area.

governing the operation of the Parker 

(US–1) bridge across the Atlantic 

Intracoastal Waterway, mile 1,013.7, at

Florida. The deviation is necessary to 

allow timely bridge rehabilitation and to 

provide for worker safety. This 

deviation allows the bridge to be placed 

on single-leaf operations. Double-leaf 

operations will be allowed with a four 

hour notice. The deviation may be 

cancelled at any time via Broadcast 

Notice to Mariners. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Florida Department of Transportation 

requests a temporary deviation from the 

published regulation for the Parker 

Bridge (US–1) across the Atlantic 

Intracoastal Waterway as required by 33 

CFR 117.261(t): The draw shall open on 

the quarter and three-quarter hour. 

The Florida Department of 

Transportation requests a deviation 

allowing for single-leaf operations from 

May 10, 2010 through October 31, 2010. 

Double-leaf openings will be available 

with a four hour notice to the bridge 

tender. 

This deviation will allow the 

rehabilitation of the bridge to be 

completed in a timely fashion while not 

unreasonably affecting vessel traffic as it 

does provide for requested double-leaf 

opening with a four hour notice. This 

rehabilitation is necessary to extend the 

bridge life. 

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 21, 2010. 

R.S. Branham, 

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, 

Seventh Coast Guard District.
