SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is withdrawing the notice of proposed

bridge, at mile 4.0, across the Shrewsbury River at Sea Bright, New 
Jersey. The bridge repair project for the Monmouth County highway 
bridge was cancelled. This action withdraws the notice of proposed 
rulemaking and closes the docket.

inspection or copying at the First Coast Guard District, Bridge 
Administration Office, 408 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 12, 2001, the Coast Guard published 
a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (66 FR 
36527) entitled Drawbridge Operation Regulations, Shrewsbury River, New 
Jersey. That NPRM, Coast Guard docket (CGD01-01-095), requested public 
comment regarding the proposal to temporarily change the drawbridge 
operation regulations that govern the Monmouth County highway. The 
purpose of the rulemaking was to facilitate bridge maintenance repairs 
scheduled to be performed during the winter of 2001-2002. No comments 
were received in response to the NPRM.
    The repair project and proposed temporary operating schedule were 
subsequently cancelled for 2001-2002, due to unresolved contractual 
issues between the bridge owner and the contractor.
    The bridge owner submitted a new request to the Coast Guard to 
temporarily change the drawbridge operation regulations for the 
Monmouth County highway bridge in order to facilitate the bridge 
maintenance previously scheduled for the winter of 2001-2002.
    The Coast Guard published a temporary final rule under a new Coast 
Guard docket number (CGD01-02-122) on November 6, 2002, (67 FR 67549) 
entitled Drawbridge Operation Regulations Shrewsbury River, New Jersey, 
to facilitate the bridge repair work scheduled to be performed during 
the winter of 2002-2003.
    The notice of proposed rulemaking (CGD01-01-095) published on July 
12, 2001, is no longer necessary. The notice of proposed rulemaking is 
withdrawn and the docket is closed.

    Dated: November 15, 2002.
V.S. Crea,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, First Coast Guard District.
