Drawbridge Operation Regulation:
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway; West
Palm Beach, FL
AGENCY
: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION
: Notice of temporary deviation
from regulations; request for comments.
SUMMARY
: The Coast Guard is issuing a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule that governs the Flagler
Memorial Bridge, across Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AICW), mile
1021.8, at West Palm Beach, Florida.
Palm Beach County and the
communities surrounding the bridge
have requested the Coast Guard
consider placing additional weekday
restrictions during peak traffic hours to
assist with alleviating vehicle
congestion. This deviation will test a
change to the drawbridge operation
schedule to determine whether a
permanent change to the schedule is
needed. The Coast Guard is seeking
comments from the public regarding
this deviation.
DATES
: This deviation is effective from
12:01 a.m. on August 1, 2023, through
11:59 p.m. on January 22, 2024.
Comments and related material must
reach the Coast Guard on or before

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis
The Flagler Memorial Bridge, across
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AICW),
mile 1021.8, at West Palm Beach,
Florida is a double-leaf bascule bridge
with a 24-foot vertical clearance at mean
high water in the closed position. The
normal operating schedule is set forth in
33 CFR 117.261(u).
Palm Beach County and communities
surrounding the bridge requested the
Coast Guard consider allowing the
drawbridge to remain closed to
navigation during morning and evening
peak traffic hours. The Coast Guard has
determined that allowing extended
daily closures along this portion of the
AICW will not meet the reasonable
needs of navigation. However, to assist
Palm Beach County and communities
surrounding the bridge with alleviating
vehicle traffic in the area, the Coast
Guard is issuing the following
temporary deviation to test an alternate
drawbridge operating schedule.
Under this temporary deviation, the
Flagler Memorial Bridge will open on
the quarter and three-quarter hour,
except that Monday through Friday
(except Federal holidays) from 7:30 to 9
a.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m., the draw need
only open on the quarter hour.
The Coast Guard will also inform the
users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessel operators 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.
II. Public Participation and Request for
Comments

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to
authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is
impracticable to publish an NPRM for
this temporary rule because we must
establish the safety zone by August 1,
2023, to protect the public.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register because delaying the effective
date of this rule would be impracticable
because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with the parade event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. Due
to the Parade of Ships taking place near
Pier 62, Elliott Bay, Seattle, WA, on
August 1, 2023, there will be a safety
concern for anyone within a box
encompassed by the points 47°36.719′
N, 122°21.099′ W; 47°36.682′ N,
122°21.149′ W; 47°36.504′ N,
122°20.723′ W; 47°36.469′ N,
122°20.773′ W. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone associated
with the Parade of Ships.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone for
this year’s Parade of Ships, the Pass in
Review of which will occur on Pier 62.
The duration of the zone is intended to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in these navigable
waters near Pier 62. No vessel or person
will be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated
representative. The safety zone will be
enforced from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
on August 1, 2023.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
