SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Jefferson
Parish has requested a temporary
deviation from the operating schedule
for the Bascule Span Bridge across the
Harvey Canal Route, Intracoastal
Waterway, mile 2.8 at New Orleans,
Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. The bridge
has a vertical clearance of 45 feet above
mean high water in the closed-tonavigation position and unlimited in the
open-to-navigation position. Vessels
requiring a clearance of less than 45 feet
may transit beneath the bridge during
maintenance operations.
In accordance with 33 CFR
117.451(a), the bridge currently opens
on signal for the passage of vessels;
except that, from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
and from 3:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. Monday
through Friday except holidays, the
draw need not be opened for the passage
of vessels. This deviation allows the
bridge to remain closed to navigation
from 6 a.m. on Thursday, January 10,
2013, until 6 a.m. on Friday, January 18,
2013. At all other times, the bridge will
open on signal for the passage of vessels
in accordance with 33 CFR 117.451(a).
The closure is necessary in order to
remove and replace the bridge’s
electrical system. This maintenance is
essential for the continued operation of
the bridge. Notices will be published in
the Eighth Coast Guard District Local
Notice to Mariners and will be broadcast
via the Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to
Mariners System.
Navigation on the waterway consists
mainly of tugs with tows with some
commercial fishing vessels and
recreational craft. Coordination between
the Coast Guard and the waterway users
determined that there should not be any
significant effects on these vessels. The
bridge will be unable to open during
these repairs; however, an alternate
route is available via the GIWW (Algiers
Alternate Route).
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular

prohibited from entering, transiting
through, anchoring in, or remaining
within any of the three safety zones
unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port Miami or a designated

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. 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 the
Coast Guard did not receive all Marine
Event Permit Application information
regarding the fireworks displays until
November 16, 2012. As a result, the
Coast Guard did not have sufficient time
to publish an NPRM and to receive
public comments prior to the fireworks
displays. Any delay in the effective date
of this rule would be contrary to the
public interest because immediate
action is needed to minimize potential
danger to the public during the
fireworks displays.
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
limited access areas: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50
U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1,
6.04–6, 160.5; Pub. L. 107–295, 116 Stat.
2064; Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1.
The purpose of the rule is to protect
the public from the hazards associated
with the launching of fireworks over
navigable waters of the United States.
C. Discussion of Rule
Multiple fireworks displays are
planned for New Year’s Eve celebrations
throughout the Captain of the Port
Miami Zone. The fireworks will be
launched from barges and will explode
over navigable waters of the United
States.
The Coast Guard is establishing three
temporary safety zones for New Year’s
Eve fireworks displays on Monday,
December 31, 2012 on navigable waters
of the Captain of the Port Miami Zone.
The three safety zones are listed below.
