In accordance with § 100.901, entry

these regulated areas is prohibited 

unless authorized by the Coast Guard 

patrol commander (PATCOM). The 

PATCOM may restrict vessel operation 

within the regulated area to vessels 

having particular operating 

characteristics. 

The PATCOM may direct the 

anchoring, mooring, or movement of 

any vessel within this regulated area. A 

succession of sharp, short signals by 

whistle or horn from vessels patrolling 

the area under the direction of the 

PATCOM shall serve as a signal to stop. 

Vessels so signaled shall stop and shall 

comply with the orders of the PATCOM. 

Failure to do so may result in expulsion 

from the area, a Notice of Violation for 

failure to comply, or both. 

If it is deemed necessary for the 

protection of life and property, the 

PATCOM may terminate the marine 

event or the operation of any vessel 

within the regulated area. 

In accordance with the general 

regulations in § 100.35 of this part, the 

Coast Guard will patrol the regatta area 

under the direction of a designated 

Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The 

PATCOM may be contacted on Channel

The ‘‘on-scene representative’’ of the 

Captain of the Port Detroit is any Coast 

Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty 

officer who has been designated by the 

Captain of the Port Detroit to act on his 

behalf. The on-scene representative of 

the Captain of the Port Detroit will be 

aboard either a Coast Guard or Coast 

Guard Auxiliary vessel. The Captain of 

the Port Detroit or his designated on 

scene representative may be contacted

[Docket No. USCG–2017–0799] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Sacramento River, Sacramento, CA 

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 Tower 

Drawbridge across the Sacramento 

River, mile 59.0, at Sacramento, CA. The 

deviation is necessary to allow the 

community to participate in the Farmto-Fork Dinner event. This deviation 

allows the bridge to remain in the 

closed-to-navigation position during the 

deviation period. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

1 p.m. through 10 p.m. on September 

24, 2017.

deviation, call or email Carl T. Hausner, 

Chief, Bridge Section, Eleventh Coast 

Guard District; telephone 510–437–

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 1 

p.m. through 10 p.m. on September 24, 

2017, to allow the community to 

participate in the Farm-to-Fork Dinner 

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 

two hours 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. 

Dated: September 13, 2017.

District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard 

District.
