ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Tower Drawbridge across the
Sacramento River, mile 59.0, at Sacramento, CA. The deviation is
necessary to allow the community to participate in the Peace Love run.
This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation
position during the deviation period.
DATES: This deviation is effective from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on
March 26, 2016.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2016-0093] is available

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email David H. Sulouff, Chief, Bridge
Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone 510-437-3516, email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: California Department of Transportation has
requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower Drawbridge,
mile 59.0, over Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The vertical lift
bridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet above
Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw operates
as required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway is
commercial and recreational.
The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position
from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on March 26, 2016, to allow the community
to participate in the Peace Love run. This temporary deviation has been
coordinated with the waterway users. No objections to the proposed
temporary deviation were raised.
Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may
do so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and
there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast
Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through our
[[Page 14733]]
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: February 25, 2016.
D.H. Sulouff,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
