Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Humble Canal, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Coast Guard has issued a 
temporary deviation to the regulations governing the opening of a 
drawbridge over the Humble Canal, from July 25, through August 8, 1994. 
This deviation requires the Louisiana department of Transportation and 
Development (LDOTD) to close the bridge for a continuous 15-day period. 
The purpose of the closure is to allow the South Terrebonne Parish 
Tidewater Management & Conservation District to complete construction 
of a hurricane protection levee south of the bridge.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The period of deviation begins on Monday, July 25, 
1994, and continues through Monday, August 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Rose A. Payne, Bridge Program Manager, Eighth Coast Guard District. 
Telephone Number (504) 589-2965.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The only economic consequences involve the 
rerouting of navigation presently using Humble Canal. However, an 
alternate route is available via Bayou Terrebonne and Lake Barre. This 
deviation is for the purpose of providing a specific time frame to 
complete construction of a hurricane protection levee for many 
residents living in the low area of South Terrebonne Parish.
    This deviation from normal operating regulations (33 CFR 117.5) is 
authorized in accordance with the provisions of Title 33 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, parts 117.35 and 117.37.

    Dated: July 4, 1994.
R.C. North,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District.
