Abstract
The Coast Guard proposes to change the operating schedule that governs the Puget Sound and Pacific railroad bridge (PS&P) across the Wishkah River, mile 0.1 in Aberdeen, WA. Based on infrequent drawbridge openings, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (GWRR), the bridge owner, is requesting to change the default draw position from the fully open position to the fully closed-to-navigation position. In addition, the proposed rule will require 24-hour notice for all drawbridge openings. Based on these proposed changes in operating schedule, there would no longer need to always have a bridge operator on site. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
