p.m. on February 19, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The W-43 (Ocean Avenue) Bridge has a 
vertical clearance in the closed position of 15 feet at mean high water

operates this double-leaf bascule drawbridge, has requested a temporary 
deviation from the general operating regulations set out in 33 CFR

will be provided on signal.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c), this work will be performed

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
