SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Basis and Purpose

    On April 14, 2014, we published a temporary deviation based on the 
City of Stillwater, Minnesota's request entitled ``Notice of deviation 
from drawbridge regulation; request for comments'' in the Federal 
Register (79 FR 20784). The temporary deviation concerned performing a 
functional review of drawspan operations during the navigation season 
by allowing the bridge to be operated on an altered opening schedule 
Monday through Friday (except Federal Holidays) for approximately 5 
months. This deviation from the operating regulations was authorized 
under 33 CFR 117.35.

B. Cancellation

    On April 16, 2014, a public meeting regarding this temporary 
deviation based on a request by the City of Stillwater was held.
    After the public meeting, on April 23, 2014, the City of Stillwater 
rescinded their request for the temporary deviation; therefore, the 
Coast Guard is canceling the scheduled deviation.

    Dated: May 2, 2014.
Eric A. Washburn,
Bridge Administrator, Western Rivers.
