DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2002, until 11 p.m. on August 29, 2002.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The Commander, Seventh Coast Guard District, has approved a temporary deviation from the regulations governing the operation of the New Hallandale Beach Boulevard bridge, mile 1074.0 at Hallandale Beach, Florida. This deviation allows this bridge to only open a singleleaf from July 1, 2002, to August 29, 2002. This action is necessary to facilitate workers' safety during construction of the new bridge.

SUMMARY: Florida,


SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

The Hallandale Beach Boulevard (SR 824) bridge, mile 1074.0 at Hallandale Beach, Broward County, Florida will continue to operate on schedule. The existing operating regulations in 33 CFR 117.261 (kk) require the bridge to open on signal; except that, from 7:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m., the draw need open only on the quarter hour and threequarter hour. The new Hallandale Beach Boulevard bridge, mile 1074.0 at Hallandale Beach, Broward County, Florida will be erected in the down position. When the first leaf is installed it will provide a horizontal clearance of 60 feet between the down span and the fender system.

The contractors notified the Coast Guard on May 28, 2002, that the work on the new bascule leaves would start on July 1, 2002, and due to a safety issue involving welding deck plates, and pouring concrete, they requested that the new bascule bridge be able to only open a singleleaf of the bridge from July 1, 2002 until August 29, 2002. This action will not significantly hinder navigation, as a horizontal clearance of 60 feet will be available during the construction.

The District Commander has granted a temporary deviation from the operating requirements listed in 33 CFR 117.5 to construct the new drawbridge. Under this deviation, the New Hallandale Beach Boulevard bridge, mile 1074.0 at Hallandale Beach, need only open a singleleaf from 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2002, until 10 p.m. on August 29, 2002.

Dated: June 18, 2002.
Greg Shapley,
Chief, Bridge Administration Branch, Seventh Coast Guard District. [FR Doc. 0216238 Filed 62602; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 491015P
