SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Purpose

    On April 12, 2021, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) entitled, ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Indian Creek, Miami 
Beach, FL'' in the Federal Register (86 FR 18927). The original comment 
period closed on May 27, 2021. The NPRM proposed the initial change to 
the regulation governing the 63rd Street Bridge across Indian Creek, 
mile 4.0, at Miami Beach, Florida and contains useful background and 
analysis related to the initial proposed change. The public is 
encouraged to review the NPRM.
    The City of Miami Beach requested the Coast Guard consider 
reopening the comment period as the proposed regulation change impacts 
their residents and they misunderstood the regulatory process. 
Reopening the comment period will allow the City of Miami Beach to 
provide notification of the action to their residents. This action 
allows for a broader range of waterway and roadway users the comment on 
the proposed rule.
    This notice reopening the comment period ensures notice and 
opportunity to comment before making the proposed changes final.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1223 and 5 
U.S.C. 552.
