This finding is based on the need to determine and issue new interest assumptions promptly so that the assumptions can reflect current market conditions as accurately as possible. Because of the need to provide immediate guidance for the payment of benefits under plans with valuation dates during August 2017, PBGC finds that good cause exists for making the assumptions set forth in this amendment effective less than 30 days after publication. PBGC has determined that this action is not a ‘‘significant Rate set For plans with a valuation date On or after * Before regulatory action’’ under the criteria set forth in Executive Order 12866. Because no general notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 does not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 601(2). List of Subjects in 29 CFR Part 4022 3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Table of Acronyms CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History The Coast Guard is issuing this final 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)(3)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. The Coast Guard received the safety zone request on March 9, 2017. The Coast Guard did not receive the final details of the requested safety zone with sufficient time for a comment period to run before the start of the fireworks display. Thus, delaying this rule to wait for a notice and comment period to run would be impracticable because it would inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability to protect the public from the potential hazards associated with the fireworks display. We are issuing this final rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. For the same reasons discussed in the preceding paragraph, a 30 day notice period would be impracticable. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard’s authority to establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 160.5; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1. On every Saturday from June 24th to September 9th, 2017 and on July 4th 2017, St. Ignace will have fireworks PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 32465 displays at the end of the Arnold Transit Mill Slip. The state of Michigan regulates fireworks displays. This action is only for the safety zone. The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie has determined that the pyrotechnics display will pose a significant risk to public safety and property. Such hazards include premature and accidental detonations, falling and burning debris, and collisions among spectator vessels. The special design of water shells requires a safety zone of at least 1,400 feet. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule is necessary to ensure the safety of vessels during the aforementioned displays. The temporary safety zone will encompass all U.S. waters of Lake Huron within a 1,400 foot radius from the end of Arnold Transit Mill Slip located at 45°52′24.6″ N., 084°43′18.1″ W. The safety zone will be enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on June 24, 2017, from 10:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on July 4, 2017, from 10:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on July 8, 2017, from 9:45 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. on July 15, 2017, from 9:45 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. on July 22, 2017, from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on July 29, 2017, from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on August 5, 2017, from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on August 12, 2017, from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on August 19, 2017, from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on August 26, 2017, from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on September 2, 2017, from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on September 9, 2017. If the fireworks are cancelled on Saturday due to inclement weather, then this section will be enforced on the following day. The rule will be enforced with actual notice as-needed to mitigate risks associated with the display. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie, or a designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or a designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16 or telephone at 906– 635–3233. V. Regulatory Analyses We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on these statutes and E.O.s and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors. A.
