SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Union Pacific Railroad Company has requested 
a temporary change to the operation of the ``I'' Street Drawbridge, 
mile 59.4, over Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The drawbridge 
navigation span provides 109 feet vertical clearance above Mean High 
Water in the full open-to-navigation position, and 30 feet vertical 
clearance above Mean High Water when closed. The draw opens on signal 
from May 1 through October 31 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and from November 
1 through April 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At all other times the draw 
shall open on signal if at least four hours notice is given, as 
required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway is commercial 
and recreational.
    The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position 
7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on April 27, 2014, to allow the community to 
participate in the Capitol City Classic 10K run. This temporary 
deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users. No objections 
to the proposed temporary deviation were raised.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may 
do so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and 
there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast 
Guard will also inform the users of the waterway through our Local and 
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for 
the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any 
impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: April 11, 2014.
D.H. Sulouff,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
