Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:47 Jun 07, 2010 Jkt 220001 SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a continued safety zone around the riser for the DEEPWATER HORIZON, a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), at Mississippi Canyon 252 in the Outer Continental Shelf. The safety zone in place pursuant to the Temporary Final Rule at docket USCG– 2010–0323 terminates on May 26, 2010. This safety zone is needed to protect personnel involved in oil pollution response efforts. Continuing the safety zone around the riser will significantly reduce the threat of collisions, oil spills, and releases of natural gas, and thereby protect the safety of life, property, and the environment. Oil pollution response efforts are taking place on the water’s surface and subsurface. DATES: This rule is effective in the CFR on June 8, 2010 through August 26, 2010. This rule is effective with actual notice for purposes of enforcement on May 26, 2010 and will remain in effect through August 26, 2010. ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket are part of docket USCG–2010– 0448 and are available online by going to https://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG–2010–0448 in the ‘‘Keyword’’ box, and then clicking ‘‘Search.’’ They are also available for inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility (M–30), U.S. Department of Transportation, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 32273 notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because it is impracticable due to the emergency nature of the operations. Immediate action is necessary to protect first responders and to prevent entry into the area that is most impacted by the oil spill. 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. Good cause exists because immediate action is necessary to protect first responders and to prevent entry into the area that is most impacted by the oil spill. Basis and Purpose The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone in the deepwater area of the Gulf of Mexico in response to the sinking of the DEEPWATER HORIZON, a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), near Mississippi Canyon 252 with a center point at 28–44–18N and 088–21–54W. The safety zone is located in the location of the riser attached to the seabed of the Outer Continental Shelf. The safety zone is established to protect both environmental responders and the environment. Efforts are underway to stop the flow of oil using submersible remote operating vehicles. In evaluating this request, the Coast Guard explored relevant safety factors and considered several criteria, including but not limited to, (1) the level of shipping activity around the facility, (2) safety concerns for personnel aboard the facility, (3) concerns for the environment, (4) the likeliness that an allision would result in a catastrophic event based on proximity to shipping fairways, offloading operations, production levels, and size of the crew, (5) the volume of traffic in the vicinity of the proposed area, (6) the types of vessels navigating in the vicinity of the proposed area, and (7) the structural configuration of the facility. We have determined that a safety zone is needed to protect persons and vessels in the vicinity of the oil spill. Discussion of Rule The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone encompassing all areas within 500 meters around the position 28–44–18N and 088–21–54W. The safety zone is located in the deepwater area of the Gulf of Mexico near Mississippi Canyon 252. For the purpose of this regulation, the deepwater area is considered to be waters of 304.8 meters (1,000 feet) or greater depth extending to the limits of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) E:\FR\FM\08JNR1.SGM 08JNR1
