Title: Drawbridge Operations Regulations; Revisions (USCG-2001-10881) 
Abstract: The Coast Guard is proposing changes to its drawbridge regulations that provide guidance for general requirements relating to the use and operation of drawbridges. This project will create a new deviation for short-term closures, provide Coast Guard Eighth District Bridges Administration St. Louis, MO, with a general bridge closure requirement during the winter season when navigation is reduced, and eliminate any unnecessary distinction between commercial and recreational vessels in subpart B. It will also make changes throughout part 117 to remove redundancies, make amendments and technical corrections, and remove special bridge regulations that are no longer functional. Corrections and clarification of these requirements will help to streamline the drawbridge regulatory process and should shorten and simplify part 117 for the reader. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime mobility.
