ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a safety zone on the
navigable waters of the Cooper River for

safety zone extends 1000 feet in all
directions from USS Yorktown located
at Patriots Point, Mt. Pleasant, SC, in
approximate position 32°47′27″ N
079°54′34″ W. The rule prohibits entry,
anchoring, mooring or transiting within

regulation is necessary to protect life
and property on the navigable waters of
the Cooper River from the hazards
associated with the launching of
fireworks.
This rule is effective from 6 p.m.
on July 4 until 12:01 a.m on July 5,

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 a NPRM. The exact
location and time of the event was not
provided with sufficient time for public
comment. Publishing a NPRM, which
would incorporate a comment period
before a final rule could be issued and
delay the rule’s effective date, is
contrary to public interest because
immediate action is necessary to protect
the public and waters of the United
States.
For the same reasons, 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. The
Coast Guard will issue a broadcast
notice to mariners and will place Coast
Guard vessels in the vicinity of this
zone to advise mariners of the
restriction.
Background and Purpose
This rule allows the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port Charleston, South
Carolina, to establish a safety zone in
order to provide for a minimum
separation set back area for the Patriots
Point July Fourth Fireworks event, as
recommended by the National Fire
Protection Association for firework
displays. The safety zone is necessary to
protect the participants and spectators,
and to ensure no unsafe conditions
exist.
Discussion of Rule
The safety zone will be in effect and
enforced in an area extending 1000 feet
in any direction from USS Yorktown
located at Patriots Point, Mt. Pleasant,
SC in approximate position 32°47′27″ N,
079°54′34″ W. The safety zone will be
enforced from 6:00 p.m. until 12:01 a.m.
for the Fireworks display. The safety
zone will be activated by a local
Broadcast to Mariners and a Marine
Safety Information Bulletin. Persons and
vessels will be prohibited from entering,
PO 00000

anchoring, mooring or transiting within
the safety zone without the permission
of the Captain Of the Port Charleston or
his designated representative. Any
concerned traffic may request
permission to pass through the safety
zone from the COTP or his designated
representative on VHF–FM channel 16
or via phone at (843) 720–3240.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs
and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that
Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under the
order. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) because these regulations will
only be in effect for a short period of
time and the impact on routine
navigation is expected to be minimal.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this rule would have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises
small businesses, not-for-profit
organizations that are independently
owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and
governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the
following reasons: this rule is for a
highly publicized event and will only be
in effect for a limited time and for a
limited area. The Coast Guard Patrol
Commander can authorize transits
through the regulated area on a as
needed basis.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects on them and
participate in the rulemaking. If the rule
will affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance; please contact Chief
Warrant Officer James J. McHugh, Sector
