SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The US70 

(Alfred C. Cunningham) Bridge a 

bascule lift bridge across Trent River, at 

mile 0.0, has a vertical clearance in the 

closed position to vessels of 

approximately 14 feet above mean high 

water. 

On behalf of the Neuse River Bridge 

Run Organization and the City of New 

Bern NC, the North Carolina Department 

of Transportation has requested a 

temporary deviation from the current 

operating regulations of the bridge set 

out in 33 CFR 117.843 (a) to 

accommodate the Bridge Run schedule 

for Saturday, October 16, 2010. 

Under this deviation, the drawbridge 

would be allowed to remain in the 

closed-to-navigation position from 6 

a.m. to 11 a.m. to vessels on Saturday, 

October 16, 2010, to accommodate the 

Bridge Run. 

The Coast Guard will inform the users 

of the waterway through our Local and 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the 

closure period for the bridge so that 

vessels can arrange their transits to 

minimize any impact caused by the 

temporary deviation. There are no 

alternate routes for vessels transiting 

this section of the Trent River and the 

drawbridge will be able to open in the 

event of an emergency. 

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 regulation 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary final rule without prior 

notice and opportunity to comment 

pursuant to authority under section 4(a) 

of the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because any 

delay encountered in this regulation’s 

effective date by publishing a NPRM 

would be contrary to public interest 

since immediate action is needed to 

provide for the safety of life and 

property on navigable waters. 

Additionally, this temporary safety zone 

will be enforced for approximately 

forty-five minutes on Friday, September 

17, 2010 while the fireworks display is 

in progress. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Due to the need for immediate 

action, the restriction of vessel traffic is 

necessary to protect life, property and 

the environment during the fireworks
