BILLING CODE 4830-01-P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 33 CFR Part 117 [Docket No. USCG-2015-0366] Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Navesink (Swimming) River, Middletown and Rumson, NJ AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation. SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the operation of the Oceanic Bridge across the Navesink (Swimming) River, mile 4.5, between Middletown and Rumson, New Jersey.
This deviation allows the bridge owner to perform structural repairs at the bridge. This deviation allows the bridge to open only one of the two moveable spans for passage of vessels traffic. This temporary deviation would help facilitate repairs to the bascule span bearing while continuing to meet the reasonable needs of navigation. DATES: This deviation is effective from May 26, 2015 through June 12, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Oceanic Bridge across Navesink (Swimming) River, mile 4.5, between Middletown and Rumson, New Jersey, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 22 feet at mean high water and 25 feet at mean low water, and horizontal clearance of 75 feet. The existing bridge operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.734. The waterway is transited by seasonal recreational vessels of various sizes. The bridge owner, Monmouth County, requested a temporary deviation from the normal operating schedule to facilitate repairs to the bascule span bearing. Under this temporary deviation the Oceanic Bridge shall open on signal, except that, from May 26, 2015 through June 12, 2015, only one of the two moveable spans need open for the passage of vessels traffic. There are no alternate routes for vessel traffic. The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterways through our Local and Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridges 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: April 30, 2015. C.J. Bisignano, Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, First Coast Guard District.
