Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Southern Boulevard (SR 700/80)
Bridge, Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Mile 1024.7, Palm Beach, FL

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing the operating regulation governing
the operation of the Southern Boulevard (SR 700/80) Bridge across the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile 1024.7, Palm Beach, Florida. The
rule will require the drawbridge to open twice an hour. The schedule is
based on requests from vessel operators along the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway. The schedule will require the bridge to open on the quarter
and three quarter hour and would meet the reasonable needs of
navigation while not impacting vehicular traffic.

DATES: This rule is effective February 5, 2007."

You southern VEs may want to pass the new times to the boaters you do  
checks on. Do note the 'effective date' of 5 February (most Federal  
changes like this go into effect 30 days after publication in the  
Register).
