SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 25, 2012, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
entitled ``Safety Zone; Gilmerton Bridge Center Span Float-in,
Elizabeth River; Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake, Virginia'' in the
Federal Register (77 FR 43557). The rulemaking concerned establishing a
safety zone on the navigable waters of the Elizabeth River in Norfolk,
Portsmouth, and Chesapeake, VA, in order to provide for the safety of
life on navigable waters during the Gilmerton Bridge Center Span Float-
in and bridge construction of span placement.
Withdrawal
The proposed rule is being withdrawn due to unforeseen
circumstances in the construction timeline of the Center Span, which
has caused a 5 week delay in the project.
Authority: We issue this notice of withdrawal under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 44 U.S.C. 1505(a)(3), and 33 CFR 1.05-
1.
Dated: July 17, 2012.
John K. Little,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Hampton Roads.
