DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the CSX Transportation Railroad Bridge across the Pascagoula River, mile 1.5, at Pascagoula, Jackson County, Mississippi. This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to navigation during the morning and afternoon time periods for four consecutive days. During the second day of the deviation, the bridge will remain closed to navigation continuously for ten hours. The deviation is necessary to repair the drive motor and associated hydraulic components of the draw span operating mechanism.
SUMMARY: Mississippi,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The CSX Transportation Company has requested a temporary deviation in order to repair the main drive motor and associated hydraulic components of the operating mechanism of the CSX Transportation Railroad Bascule Span Bridge across the Pascagoula River, mile 1.5, at Pascagoula, Jackson County, Mississippi. This temporary deviation will allow the bridge to remain in the closedto navigation position from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, June 13, 2005, Wednesday, June 15, 2005, and Thursday, June 16, 2005. On Tuesday, June 14, 2005, the bridge will remain closed to navigation continuously from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. to facilitate installation of a shaft. A temporary deviation was previously approved to complete these repairs in March 2005; however, the required replacement parts were unavailable. The bridge owner has obtained all of the required parts and is now ready to complete the repairs. The repairs are necessary for continued safe operation of the draw span. As the bridge has no vertical clearance in the closedtonavigation
position, vessels will not be able to transit through the bridge site
when the bridge is closed. Navigation on the waterway consists of small cargo ships, tugs with tows, fishing vessels and
[[Page 29623]]
recreational craft including sailboats and powerboats. Due to prior
experience, as well as coordination with waterway users, it has been
determined that this closure will not have a significant effect on these vessels.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c), this work will be performed
with all due speed in order to return the bridge to normal operation as
soon as possible. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: May 17, 2005.

Bridge Administrator.
