# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Background and Purpose

                    On April 24, 2017, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled, “Banana River, Indian Harbour Beach, FL” in the                     **Federal Register**                     (82 FR 18877). The original comment period closed on June 23, 2017. The NPRM proposed the initial change to the regulation governing the Mathers Bridge across the Banana River, mile 0.5, in Indian Harbour Beach, FL and contains useful background and analysis related to the initial proposed change. The public is encouraged to review the NPRM.                

The City of Indian Harbour Beach notified the Seventh Coast Guard District Bridge Office they were unaware of the proposed regulation change as it impacts their residents. Reopening the comment period and providing notification of this action to the local media should accomplish the goal intended, which is to reach a broader range of waterway and highway users.
