Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, 
mile 1055.0 at Pompano Beach, Broward County, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Commander, Seventh Coast Guard District, has approved a 
temporary deviation from the regulations governing the operation of the 
NE. 14th Street (SR 844) bridge, mile 1055.0 at Pompano Beach, Florida, 
from August 2 to August 14, 2002. This deviation allows this bridge to 
only open a single-leaf of the bridge. Double-leaf openings will be 
available with a one-hour advance notice to the bridge tender. This 
temporary deviation is required to allow the bridge owner to safely 
complete repairs to the bridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 12:01 a.m. on August 2, 2002 to 
8 p.m. on August 14, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Material received from the public, as well as documents 
indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket, will 
become part of this docket and will be available for inspection or 
copying at Commander (obr), Seventh Coast Guard District, 909 SE. 1st 
Avenue, Room 432, Miami, FL 33131 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Michael Lieberum, Project Officer, 
Seventh Coast Guard District, Bridge Section at (305) 415-6744.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SR 844 (NE. 14th Street) bridge, mile 
1055.0 at Pompano Beach, Broward County, Florida, has a vertical 
clearance of 15 feet at mean high water and a horizontal clearance of 
45 feet between the down span and the fender system. The existing 
operating regulations in 33 CFR 117.261(cc) require the bridge to open 
on signal, except that, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the draw need open only 
on the quarter-hour and three-quarter-hour.
    The Florida Department of Transportation notified the Coast Guard 
on July 24, 2002, that due to an equipment malfunction, they 
temporarily can only operate a single-leaf of the drawbridge. A double-
leaf opening will be available if a one-hour's notice is provided to 
the bridge tender, allowing enough time to bring in a work crew to open 
the other leaf.
    The District Commander has granted a temporary deviation from the 
operating requirements listed in 33 CFR 117.261(cc) to complete repairs 
to the drawbridge. Under this deviation, the SR 844 (NE. 14th Street) 
bridge, mile 1055.0 at Pompano Beach, need only open a single-leaf on 
signal; except that, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the draw need open a 
single-leaf on the quarter-hour and three-quarter-hour from 12:01 a.m. 
on August 2, 2002, to 8 p.m. on August 14, 2002. A double-leaf opening 
will be available if one-hour's advance notice is provided to the 
bridge tender from 12:01 a.m. on August 2, 2002, to 8 p.m. on August 
14, 2002.

    Dated: August 1, 2002.
Greg Shapley,
Chief, Bridge Administration Branch, Seventh Coast Guard District.
