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

SUMMARY: The Commander, First Coast Guard District, has issued a 
temporary deviation from the drawbridge operation regulations for the 
SR1A Bridge, mile 0.0, across the Hampton River in New Hampshire. This 
deviation from the regulations, effective from December 2, 2002 through 
January 30, 2003, allows the bridge to remain in the closed position 
for vessel traffic. This temporary deviation is necessary to facilitate 
scheduled maintenance on the bridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from December 2, 2002 through 
January 30, 2003.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The existing drawbridge operating 
regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.697.
    The bridge owner, New Hampshire Department of Transportation 
(NHDOT), requested a temporary deviation from the drawbridge operating 
regulations to facilitate necessary mechanical repairs at the bridge.
    This deviation to the operating regulations, effective from 
December 2, 2002 through January 30, 2003, allows the SR1A Bridge to 
not open for vessel traffic. This repair work will be performed during 
the winter months when the bridge has few requests to open.
    This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 
33 CFR 117.35, and will be performed with all due speed in order to 
return the bridge to normal operation as soon as possible.

    Dated: June 25, 2002.
