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.

preamble as being available in the
docket are part of docket USCG–2010–

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)
