SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BNSF has requested a temporary change to the 
operation of the BNSF Railroad Drawbridge, mile 10.4, over Old River, 
at Orwood, CA. The drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical 
clearance of 11.2 feet above Mean High Water in the closed-to-
navigation position. The draw opens promptly and fully when a request 
to open is given. Navigation on the waterway is commercial and 
recreational.
    This temporary deviation has been coordinated with commercial 
operators and various marinas. No objections to the proposed temporary 
deviation were raised. Vessels that can transit the bridge, while in 
the closed-to-navigation position, may continue to do so at any time.
    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: March 19, 2013.
D.H. Sulouff,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
