33 CFR Part 117
[Docket No. USCG-2012-0652]
Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Bayou Boeuf, Amelia, LA
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Delay of effective date for temporary deviation from
regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is modifying the effective date of a published
temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway Company swing span bridge
across Bayou Boeuf, mile 10.2, at Amelia, St. Mary Parish, Louisiana.
The modification of the date is necessary due to a delay in the
scheduled arrival of repair equipment. The deviation is necessary to
complete scheduled repairs necessitated by a bridge allision. This
deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation
position for sixteen consecutive hours.
DATES: This deviation is effective from 7 a.m. through 11 p.m. on
Thursday, September 13, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 20, 2012, the Coast published a
notice of temporary deviation from regulations in the Federal Register
(77 FR 42637). The BNSF Railway Company requested this temporary
deviation from the operating schedule of the swing span railroad bridge
across Bayou Boeuf, mile 10.2, at Amelia, St. Mary Parish, Louisiana,
for August 16, 2012, to perform repairs necessitated by an allision.
Due to delay in production and delivery of repair equipment, the BNSF
Railway requested a modification to the effective date from August 16,
2012 to September 13, 2012. The bridge provides no vertical clearance
in the closed-to-navigation position.
Notices will be published in the Eighth Coast Guard District Local
Notice to Mariners and will be broadcast via the Coast Guard Broadcast
Notice to Mariners System.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, the bridge currently opens on
signal for the passage of vessels. This deviation allows the vertical
lift span of the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position
from 7 a.m. through 11 p.m. on Thursday, September 13, 2012.
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: July 24, 2012.
David M. Frank,
Bridge Administrator, Eighth Coast Guard District.
