The Coast Guard proposes to change the operating schedule that governs the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) drawbridge that crosses the San Bernard River, mile 20.7, near Brazoria, TX. UPRR proposed to operate this drawbridge on a 24 hour basis from its Train Dispatch Center located in Spring, TX. The Coast Guard temporarily changed the regulation to test this system. During the test the drawbridge continued to operate safely and provided boats and mariners with a reasonable ability to use this waterway. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
