The vertical clearance of the swing span bridge in the closed-to-navigation position is 10.0 feet above Mean High Water. There are no alternate waterway routes available.

If you have questions on viewing the docket, call Renee V. Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 202–366–9826. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because publishing a NPRM is impractical as the Coast Guard did not receive notification of the specific location or planned dates for the events in sufficient time to issue a NPRM without delaying this rulemaking. Further, it is contrary to public interest to delay the effective date of this rule. Delaying the effective date by first publishing a NPRM and holding a comment period would be contrary to the rule’s objectives of ensuring safety of life on the navigable waters during these scheduled events as immediate action is needed to protect persons and vessels from the hazards associated with vessels participating in regattas, races and parades as well as the hazardous nature of fireworks including unexpected detonation and 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. In addition to the reasons stated above, this rule is intended to ensure the safety of the event participants, spectators and other waterway users thus any delay in the rule’s effective date would be impractical. Basis and Purpose Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within the area of responsibility for Captain of the Port Sector Northern New England. These events include sailing regattas, parades, power boat races, fireworks displays, PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 and other vessel races. Based on the nature of the events, large number of participants and spectators, and the event locations, the Coast Guard has determined that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to participants or waterway users if normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the event. Possible hazards include risks of participant injury or death resulting from near or actual contact with nonparticipant vessels traversing through the safety zones. In order to protect the safety of all waterway users including event participants and spectators, this temporary rule establishes safety zones for the time and location of each event. This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or anchoring within areas specifically designated as safety zones during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or designated on-scene patrol personnel. On-scene patrol personnel may be comprised of local, state or federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has ordered safety zones or special local regulations for all of these eight areas for past events and has not received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic from these annual events. Discussion of Rule This temporary rule creates safety zones for all navigable waters within the described area of each event as follows: A safety zone 50 yards in radius from all participants in the Downeast Adventure Race on the St. Croix River in Calais, Maine to be enforced from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 1, 2010; a safety zone of 350 yard radius from the Hampton Beach Fireworks launch site in the vicinity of Hampton Beach, New Hampshire to be enforced from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. every Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday from May 5, 2010, through September 29, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in radius around all participants in the Tall Ships visit to Portsmouth Regatta and Parade in the vicinity of Portsmouth Harbor, New Hampshire, to be enforced from 10 a.m. through 7 p.m. on May 28, 2010 through May 31, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in radius around all participants in the Bar Harbor Blessing of the Ships in the vicinity of Bar Harbor, Maine to be enforced from 12 p.m. through 1:30 p.m. on June 6, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in radius around all participants in the Boothbay Harbor Lobster Boat Races in Boothbay Harbor, Maine to be enforced from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on June 19, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in radius E:\FR\FM\10MYR1.SGM 10MYR1
