Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 16113 the Upper Potomac River in the Washington Channel, Washington, DC. This safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of life and property during a fireworks display being held during the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC. This safety zone will restrict the movement of vessel traffic in the immediate area of the fireworks discharge site. DATES: This rule is effective from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. eastern standard time on April 2, 2005, with a rain date of April 3, 2005. ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket are part of docket CGD05–05– 021 and are available for inspection or copying at Commander, Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, 2401 Hawkins Point Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21226–1791, between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ronald L. Houck, Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, at (410) 576–2674. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory Information We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. Publishing an NPRM and delaying its effective date would be contrary to the public interest, since there is not sufficient time to publish a proposed rule in advance of the event and immediate action is needed to protect persons and vessels against the hazards associated with a fireworks display from a barge, such as premature detonation or falling burning debris. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. This safety zone of short duration is needed to provide for the safety of persons and vessels on the Potomac River and the public at large. Advance notification of the security zone and the fireworks display will be provided to the public via marine information broadcasts and by local media. Background and Purpose On April 2, 2005, the National Cherry Blossom Festival will sponsor a fireworks display from a barge on the Washington Channel, in Washington, DC, in approximate position latitude 38°52′08.5″ N, longitude 077°01′13.0″ W. The event will consist of an aerial fireworks display of short duration. A fleet of spectator vessels is anticipated. E:\FR\FM\30MRR1.SGM 30MRR1
