SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Millers Ferry Highway Swing Bridge, mile 
12.1, over the Mokelumne River at Walnut Grove, CA provides 12.8 feet 
vertical clearance above Mean High Water when closed. Vessels that can 
pass under the bridge without an opening may do so at all times. This 
deviation has been coordinated with commercial operators and various 
marinas on the waterway. No objections were received.
    The normal drawbridge regulation requires the bridge to open on 
demand, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., May 1 through October 31; and all other times 
if at least 12 hours advance notice is given.
    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 normal operating regulations 
in 33 CFR 117.5 is authorized in accordance with the provisions of 33 
CFR 117.35.

    Dated: September 29, 2000.
C.D. Wurster,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard 
District.
