Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, West
Larose, LA
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; change of address and docket
number for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 2, 2005, the Coast Guard published a notice and
requested comments on a proposed change to regulations governing the
operation of the SR 1 (West Larose) vertical lift bridge across the
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, mile 35.6 west of Harvey Lock, at Larose,
Louisiana. The proposed rule would change the bridge's schedule so that
it would remain closed to navigation at various times on weekdays
during the school year to facilitate the safe, efficient movement of
staff, students and other residents within the parish. That notice was
issued August 26, 2005, before Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and
caused that city to be flooded. We have changed the address and docket
number where comments on the proposed rule should be sent because of
flood conditions in New Orleans.
DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before November 1, 2005.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by Coast Guard docket
number USCG-2005-22362 to the Docket Management Facility at the U.S.
Department of Transportation. To avoid duplication, please use only one
