Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the waters of Biscayne Bay located west of Key Biscayne and south of Rickenbacker Causeway in Miami, Florida during the Miami Paddle Challenge, a series of paddle boat races. The Miami Paddle Challenge is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 29, 2012. The temporary safety zone is necessary for the safety of race participants, participant vessels, spectators, and the general public during the event. Persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Miami or a designated representative. DATES: This rule is effective and will be enforced from 6 a.m. through 4 p.m. on September 29, 2012.

Regulatory History and 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 a safety zone was not determined to be necessary until August 1, 2012. As a result, the Coast Guard did not have sufficient time to publish an NPRM and to receive public comments prior to the Miami Paddle Challenge. Any delay in the effective date of this rule would be contrary to the public interest as immediate action is needed to minimize potential danger to the public, race participants, and spectator craft. For the same reason discussed above, 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. B. Basis and Purpose The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard’s authority to establish regulated navigation areas and other E:\FR\FM\11SER1.SGM 11SER1

D&C Red No. 6 and D&C Red No. 7; Change in Specification; 
Confirmation of Effective Date

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; confirmation of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the 
effective date of August 7, 2012, for the final rule that published in 
the Federal Register of July 6, 2012 (77 FR 39921) and that revised the 
requirements for D&C Red No. 6 and D&C Red No. 7 by replacing the 
current specification for ``Ether-soluble matter'' with a maximum limit 
of 0.015 percent for the recently identified impurity 1-[(4-
methylphenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenol.

DATES: Effective Date Confirmed: August 7, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Teresa A. Croce, Center for Food 
Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-265), Food and Drug Administration, 
5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740-3835, 240-402-1281.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of July 6, 2012, FDA 
amended the color additive regulations in Sec. Sec.  74.1306 and 
74.1307 (21 CFR 74.1306 and 74.1307) by replacing the current 
specification for ``Ether-soluble matter'' with a maximum limit of 
0.015 percent for the recently identified impurity 1-[(4-
methylphenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenol. FDA also removed Appendix A in 21 CFR 
part 74, which pertains to the ether-soluble matter specification. The 
changes to Sec. Sec.  74.1306 and 74.1307 also affect the color 
additive regulations in Sec. Sec.  74.2306 and 74.2307 (21 CFR 74.2306 
and 74.2307) because the identity and specifications in Sec. Sec.  
74.1306 and 74.1307 are referenced by Sec. Sec.  74.2306 and 74.2307.
    FDA gave interested persons until August 6, 2012, to file 
objections or requests for a hearing. The Agency received no objections 
or requests for a hearing on the final rule. Therefore, FDA finds that 
the effective date of the final rule that published in the Federal 
Register of July 6, 2012, should be confirmed.
    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, and 
redelegated to the Director, Office of Food Additive Safety, notice is 
given that no objections or requests for a hearing were filed in 
response to the July 6, 2012, final rule. Accordingly, the amendments 
issued thereby became effective August 7, 2012.

    Dated: September 5, 2012.

Director, Office of Food Additive Safety, Center for Food Safety and 
Applied Nutrition.
