SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

California Department of Transportation 

has requested a temporary change to the 

operation of the Tower Drawbridge over 

the Sacramento River, mile 59.0, at 

Sacramento, CA. The drawbridge 

navigation span provides a vertical 

clearance of 30 feet above Mean High 

Water in the closed-to-navigation 

position. The draw operates as required 

by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the 

waterway is commercial and 

recreational. 

The drawspan will be secured in the 

closed-to-navigation position from 9 

a.m. through 11 a.m. on October 1, 2017, 

to allow the community to participate in 

the Juvenile Diabetes Research 

Foundation One Walk event. This 

temporary deviation has been 

coordinated with the waterway users. 

No objections to the proposed 

temporary deviation were raised. 

Vessels able to pass through the bridge 

in the closed position may do so at 

anytime. In the event of an emergency 

the draw can open on signal if at least 

one hour notice is given to the bridge 

operator. There are no immediate 

alternate routes for vessels to pass. The 

Coast Guard will also inform the users 

of the waterway through our Local and 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedule for the 

bridge so that vessel operators can 

arrange their transits to minimize any 

impact caused by the temporary 

deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

[Docket No. USCG–2017–0161] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Canaveral Barge Canal, Canaveral, FL 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of deviation from 

drawbridge regulation. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule that governs the SR 401 

Drawbridge, mile 5.5 at Port Canaveral, 

Florida. The deviation is necessary to 

allow fuel trucks a less restrictive access 

to and from Port Canaveral to pick up 

and deliver fuel due to the critical fuel 

supply in the region. With the passage 

of Hurricane Irma, delivery of fuel from 

the port is critical to the local 

community and beyond. This deviation 

allows the bridge to remain closed to 

navigation the majority of the day to 

facilitate the safe passage of vehicles 

picking up and delivering fuel. 

DATES: This deviation is effective 

without actual notice from September 

21, 2017 through 6 a.m. on October 14, 

2017. For the purposes of enforcement, 

actual notice will be used from 6 a.m. 

on September 18, 2017, until October 

12, 2017.

deviation, USCG–2017–0161 is available

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this temporary 

deviation, call or email LT Allan Storm, 

Sector Jacksonville, Waterways 

Management Division, U.S. Coast 

Guard; telephone 904–714–7616, email 

Allan.H.Storm@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

25, 2017, the Coast Guard published a 

temporary deviation entitled 

‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Canaveral Barge Canal, Canaveral, FL in 

the Federal Register (82 FR 18989). 

Under that temporary deviation, the 

bridge would remain in the closed-tonavigation position from 11 a.m. to 2 

p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. On 

September 14, 2017, the Coast Guard 

received a request from Florida 

Department of Transportation the bridge 

owner, on behalf of the Port of 

Canaveral and Brevard County 

Emergency Operations Commission to 

modify the bridge operation schedule. 

This temporary deviation would 

suspend this prior action and allow the 

bridge to open on demand from 6 a.m. 

to 6:30 a.m., noon to 2 p.m., 6 p.m. to 

6:30 p.m., and 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed position may do so 

at any time. The bridge will be able to 

open for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels to 

pass through the bridge in closed 

positions. The Coast Guard will also 

inform the users of the waterways 

through our Local and Broadcast 

Notices to Mariners of the change in 

operating schedule for the bridge so that 

vessel operators can arrange their 

transits to minimize any impact caused 

by the temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: September 18, 2017.

Director, Bridge Branch, Seventh Coast Guard 

District.
