Because the Regulations involve a
foreign affairs function, the provisions
of Executive Order 12866 and the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed
rulemaking, opportunity for public
participation, and delay in effective date
are inapplicable. Because no notice of
proposed rulemaking is required for this
rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601–612) does not apply.

OFAC promulgated the Persons
ˆ
Contributing to the Conflict in Cote
d’Ivoire Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR
part 543 (the ‘‘Regulations’’), on April
13, 2009 (74 FR 16763), to implement
Executive Order 13396 of February 7,
2006 (‘‘E.O. 13396’’). In E.O. 13396, the
President determined that the situation
ˆ
in Cote d’Ivoire, which has resulted in
the massacre of large numbers of
civilians, widespread human rights
abuses, significant political violence
and unrest, and attacks against
international peacekeeping forces
leading to fatalities, constitutes an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of
the United States, and declared a
national emergency to deal with that
threat.
OFAC today is amending the
Regulations to change their heading to
ˆ
the ‘‘Cote d’Ivoire Sanctions
Regulations’’ for the sake of consistency
with other sanctions regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway
Company requested a temporary
deviation for the Burlington Northern
Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad Bridge, mile
88.8, at Beardstown, Illinois across the
Illinois Waterway. It has a vertical
clearance of 19.6 feet above normal pool

in the closed position. The BNSF
Railroad Bridge currently operates in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.393(a)
which requires that the bridge be
maintained in the open-to-navigation
position; closing only when a train
needs to transit the bridge.
The deviation period is from 8 a.m.,
July 27 to 8 p.m., July 29, 2009 when the
draw span will be maintained in the
closed-to-navigation position. During
this time the lift drive mechanism will
be inoperative. The draw span will not
be returned to its fully open position
until the lift drive mechanism is fully
operational on August 2, 2009. During
the period July 30–August 2, 2009 span
openings will be coordinated with rail
traffic closures and efforts to return the
bridge to normal operations. Both
commercial vessels and recreational
watercraft use the waterway. Most
commercial vessels can not pass
underneath the bridge while it is in the
closed position. Only vessels having a
low-clearance profile will be able to
pass under the span while in the closed
position. There are no alternate routes
for vessels transiting this section of the
Illinois Waterway. Minimal impact to
navigation is expected.
In accordance with 33 CFR
117.393(a), the drawbridge shall return
to its normal operating schedule
immediately at the end of the
designated time period. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35(c).

Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary 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 an agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the
permit application was not received in
time to publish a NPRM followed by a
final rule before the effective date and
immediate action is necessary to
prevent possible loss of life and
property that is potentially associated
with this fireworks display.
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. Delaying this rule would be

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone on
Lake Huron, St. Ignace, MI. This zone is
intended to restrict vessels from a
portion of Lake Huron during the
Friends of Fireworks Celebration
fireworks displays taking place July 11
through September 5, 2009. This

contrary to the public interest of
ensuring the safety of spectators and
vessels during this event and immediate
action is necessary to prevent possible
loss of life or property.
Background and Purpose
This temporary safety zone is
necessary to ensure the safety of vessels
and spectators from hazards associated
with a fireworks display. Based on the
explosive hazards of fireworks, the
Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie
has determined that fireworks launches
proximate to watercraft pose significant
risk to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of
recreation vessels, congested waterways,
darkness punctuated by bright flashes of
light, alcohol use, and debris falling into
the water could easily result in serious
injuries or fatalities. Establishing a
safety zone to control vessel movement
around the location of the launch
platform will help ensure the safety of
persons and property at these events
and help minimize the associated risks.
Discussion of Rule
A temporary safety zone is necessary
to ensure the safety of spectators and
vessels during the setup, loading, and
launching of fireworks displays in
conjunction with the Friends of
Fireworks Celebration fireworks
displays. The fireworks displays will
occur between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. on
July 11, July 18, July 25, August 1,
August 8, August 15, August 22, August
29, and September 5, 2009. If a
fireworks display is cancelled due to
inclement weather, then the fireworks
display will occur between 9 p.m. and
11 p.m. on the following day (July 12,
July 19, July 26, August 2, August 9,
August 16, August 23, August 30, or
September 6, 2009).
The safety zone for the fireworks will
encompass all waters of Lake Huron
within a 1,000-foot radius from the
fireworks launch site in East Moran Bay,
with its center in position: 45°52′43″ N,
084°43′69″ W. All geographic
coordinates are North American Datum
of 1983 (NAD 83).
All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port or the designated onscene representative. Entry into,
transiting, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Sector Sault Sainte Marie or his onscene representative. The Captain of the
Port or his on-scene representative may
be contacted via VHF Channel 16.
