    ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

    SUMMARY: The District Commander, First Coast Guard District has issued 
    a temporary deviation from the regulations listed under 33 CFR 117.789, 
    governing the operation of the Broadway Bridge, mile 6.8, across the 
    Harlem River in New York City. This deviation allows the bridge owner, 
    the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT), to keep the 
    bridge in the closed position from October 21, 1998 to November 30, 
    1998, to facilitate repairs. Vessels which can pass under the bridge 
    without a bridge opening may do so at any time.
    
    DATES: This deviation is effective from October 21, 1998 through 
    November 30, 1998.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Ms. Judy Yee, Project Manager, Bridge Branch at (212) 668-7165.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Broadway Bridge, mile 6.8, over the 
    Harlem River has a vertical clearance of 24 feet at mean high water 
    (MHW) and 29 feet at mean low water (MLW) in the closed position.
        The City of New York requested a temporary deviation from the 
    operating regulations for the Broadway Bridge because the bridge is 
    presently unable to open as a result of a start up transformer and 
    contacts failure. The parts necessary to perform the repairs are no 
    longer stock items and must be custom manufactured from specifications. 
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so at 
    all times during this closed period.
        This deviation to the operating regulations will allow the bridge 
    to remain in the closed position from October 21, 1998 to November 30, 
    1998. This deviation from the normal operating regulations is 
    authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
    
        Dated: October 27, 1998.
    R.M. Larrabee,
    Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, First Coast Guard District.
