SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 25, 2012, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
entitled ``Safety Zone; Gilmerton Bridge Center Span Float-in, 
Elizabeth River; Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake, Virginia'' in the 
Federal Register (77 FR 43557). The rulemaking concerned establishing a 
safety zone on the navigable waters of the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, 
Portsmouth, and Chesapeake, VA, in order to provide for the safety of 
life on navigable waters during the Gilmerton Bridge Center Span Float-
in and bridge construction of span placement.

Withdrawal

    The proposed rule is being withdrawn due to unforeseen 
circumstances in the construction timeline of the Center Span, which 
has caused a 5 week delay in the project.

    Authority: We issue this notice of withdrawal under the 
authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 44 U.S.C. 1505(a)(3), and 33 CFR 1.05-
1.

    Dated: July 17, 2012.
John K. Little,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Hampton Roads.
