SUMMARY: The Commander, Seventh Coast Guard District, has approved a 
temporary deviation from the regulations governing the operation of the 
Memorial bridge across the Intracoastal Waterway, mile 830.6, Volusia 
County, Daytona Beach, Florida. This deviation allows the drawbridge 
owner or operator to only open a single leaf, from January 8, 2001, to 
January 19, 2001. This temporary deviation is required to allow the 
bridge owner to safely complete repairs of the bridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from January 8, 2001, to January 19, 
2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Barry Dragon, Chief, Operations 
Section, Seventh Coast Guard District, Bridge Section at (305) 415-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Memorial bridge across the Gulf 
Intracoastal Waterway at Volusia County, Daytona Beach, is a double 
leaf bridge with a vertical clearance of 21 feet above mean high water 
(MHW) measured at the fenders in the closed position with a horizontal 
clearance of 90 feet. On November 28, 2000, Sieg and Ambachtsheer, 
Inc., contractors representing the drawbridge owner, requested a 
deviation from the current operating regulation in 33 CFR 117.5 which 
requires drawbridges to open promptly and fully when a request to open 
is given. This temporary deviation was requested to allow necessary 
repairs to the drawbridge in a critical, time-sensitive manner.
    The District Commander has granted a temporary deviation from the 
operating requirements listed in 33 CFR 117.5 for the purpose of repair 
completion of the drawbridge. Under this deviation, the Memorial Bridge 
need only open one leaf from January 8, 2001 until January 19, 2001. 
The deviation is effective beginning January 8, 2001, to January 19, 
2001.
