Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 24 / Friday, February 6, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 6229 

be able to open for emergencies. The 

bridge normally operates in accordance 

with 33 CFR 117.460 on signal with at 

least a four hour advance notice except 

that it need not open on weekdays 

except holidays from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. 

and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. This deviation 

will allow the bridge to remain in the 

closed-to-navigation position from 9 

a.m. to 6 p.m. and will open on signal 

if at least 24 hour notice is given from 

6 p.m. to 9 a.m. starting January 31, 

2009 through February 14, 2009. During 

the closure periods the wire ropes used 

for lifting the movable span will all be 

changed. Navigation on the waterway 

consists of tugs with tows, fishing 

vessels and recreational craft. Due to 

prior experience, as well as 

coordination with waterway users, and 

an alternate route, it has been 

determined that this closure will not 

have a significant effect on these 

vessels. 

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: January 12, 2009.
