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.

Temporary final rule. AGENCY: erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES 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 VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:23 Jul 20, 2009 Jkt 217001 PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 35803 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. E:\FR\FM\21JYR1.SGM 21JYR1
