Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Three Mile Slough, Sacramento 
County, CA, State of California Department of Transportation State 
Route 160 Highway Bridge

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Coast Guard has issued a 
temporary deviation to the regulations governing the opening of the 
State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) vertical 
lift bridge over Three Mile Slough near Rio Vista, CA. The deviation 
specifies that the bridge need not open for vessels from 9:00 a.m. 
until 5:00 p.m. August 19, 1998. The purpose of the deviation is to 
allow Caltrans and its contractors to electrically test the main power 
cables. The work requires that the bridge remain closed for 8 hours to 
complete the testing.

DATES: Effective period of the deviation is 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. August 
19, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Jerry Olmes, Bridge Administrator, Eleventh Coast Guard District, 
Building 50-6 Coast Guard Island, Alameda, CA 94501-5100, telephone 
(510) 437-3515.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard anticipates that the 
economic consequences of this deviation will be minimal. With adequate 
Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners notification, 
commercial vessel operators should have ample time to plan their 
transits accordingly. This deviation from the normal operating 
regulations in 33 CFR 117.5 is authorized in accordance with the 
provisions of 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: July 9, 1998.
R.D. Sirois,
Acting Captain, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard 
District Acting.
