Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of commercial tows and recreational watercraft. This deviation has been coordinated with waterway users. No objections were received. On November 27, 2001 the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad requested the bridge be maintained in the closed-to-navigation position to allow the bridge owner time for preventative maintenance in the winter and when there is less impact on navigation; instead of scheduling maintenance in the summer, when river traffic increases.

(CST)on December 31, 2001, until 12:01 a.m. Central Standard Time
(CST)on March 1, 2002. The drawbridge will open on signal if at least six
(6)hours advance notice is given. Advance notice may be given by calling Mr. Louis Welte,
(309)345-6103 during work hours and Mr. Larry Moll,
(309)752-5244, after work hours. Dated: December 28, 2001. Roy J. Casto, Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District. [FR Doc. 02-503 Filed 1-8-02; 8:45 am]
