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

SUMMARY: The Commander, First Coast Guard District, has issued a 
temporary deviation from the drawbridge operation regulations for the 
Carlton Bridge, at mile 14.0, across the Kennebec River between Bath 
and Woolwich, Maine. This deviation from the regulations authorizes the 
bridge owner to keep the bridge in the closed position from 7 a.m. on 
May 24, 2001 through 7 p.m. on June 7, 2001. This deviation is 
necessary in order to facilitate necessary repairs at the bridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from May 24, 2001, through June 7, 
2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John McDonald, Project Officer, First 
Coast Guard District, at (617) 223-8364.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Carlton Bridge, at mile 14.0, across the 
Kennebec River has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 10 
feet at mean high water and 16 feet at mean low water. The existing 
drawbridge operating regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.525.
    The owner of the bridge, the Maine Department of Transportation, 
requested a temporary deviation from the drawbridge operation 
regulations to facilitate the installation of an alternate diesel 
powered operating system at the bridge. The bridge will be out of 
service during the construction necessary to install the back-up diesel 
operating system.
    This deviation to the operating regulations authorizes the owner of 
the Carlton Bridge to keep the bridge in the closed position from 7 
a.m. on May 24, 2001 through 7 p.m. on June 7, 2001.
    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 operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: April 30, 2001.
