required by the Salvage and Marine

22, 2011.
DATES: The collection of information
approved under OMB Control Number
1625–0066 became enforceable

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 31, 2008, the Coast Guard
published a final rule entitled ‘‘Salvage
and Marine Firefighting Requirements;
Vessel Response Plans for Oil’’ (73 FR
80618). The final rule amended the
vessel response plan salvage and marine
firefighting requirements for tank
vessels carrying oil. The final rule
included information collection

Number 1625–0066 that could not be
enforced without approval by OMB. In

approve, modify, or disapprove the
collection.
On August 31, 2009, the Coast Guard
published another final rule concerning
vessel response plans, ‘‘Vessel and
Facility Response Plans for Oil: 2003
Removal Equipment Requirements and
Alternative Technology Revisions’’ (74
FR 45004). One of the effects of this rule
was to defer the compliance date for the
salvage and marine firefighting
requirements from June 1, 2010, to
February 22, 2011.
The information collection associated
with OMB Control Number 1625–0066
affects a variety of vessel response
plans, not just salvage and marine
firefighting requirements. On August 20,
2010, OMB approved the Coast Guard’s
requested revisions to OMB Control
Number 1625–0066, and on September
3, 2010, the Coast Guard published a
notice announcing this approval (75 FR
54026). OMB approval of this
information collection does not alter the
existing compliance date for vessel
response plan salvage and marine
firefighting requirements for tank
vessels carrying oil.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
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.’’ The Coast Guard
finds that it would be impracticable to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) with respect to this rule
because the event would occur before
the rulemaking process could be
completed.
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. Publishing a NPRM and
delaying its effective date would be
impracticable because immediate action
is needed to protect vessels and
mariners from the safety hazards
associated with a land based fireworks
display.
Basis and Purpose
On September 18, 2010 the City of
Grafton will be conducting a land based
fireworks display at mile 001.0 on the
Illinois River. This event presents safety
hazards to the navigation of vessels
between mile 000.5 and mile 001.5,
extending the entire width of the river.
A safety zone around the launch site is
