Regulatory History

    On July 7, 1999, the Coast Guard published a Notice of deviation 
from regulations in the Federal Register (64 FR 37570). The temporary 
deviation allowed the draw of the Florida Avenue bascule span 
drawbridge to remain closed to navigation daily from 8 a.m. until noon 
and from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. from September 23, 1999 through November 
6, to allow for replacement of the damaged fender system. On September 
14, 1999 the Coast Guard received notification that the temporary 
deviation is no longer necessary. The Coast Guard is, therefore, 
withdrawing this notice of temporary deviation from drawbridge 
operating regulations (CGD08-99-011).
