SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Wreck Lead Railroad Bridge across

closed position of 3 feet at mean high water and 7 feet at mean low 
water. The bridge opens on signal as required by 33 CFR 117.799.
    The bridge owner, the Long Island Rail Road (MTA), requested a 
temporary deviation to replace the motor locks at the bridge. The 
bridge can not open during the installation of the motor locks.
    Under this deviation the Wreck Lead Railroad Bridge may remain 
closed from 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. on March 20, 2010. Vessels able to 
pass under the closed draw may do so at all times.
    The waterway is used by recreational and commercial vessels. All 
known waterway users were advised of the requested bridge closure 
period and offered no objection. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 
the bridge 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 2, 2010.
