13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have determined that this action is one
of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves
establishing a safety zone for a fireworks
display launch site and fallout area and
is expected to have no impact on the
water or environment. This zone is
designed to protect mariners and
spectators from the hazards associated
with aerial fireworks displays. This rule
is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure
2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 written 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 doing so will be
unnecessary and contrary to the public
interest. The enforcement of the safety
zone will be brief in time and wellpublicized, and the location is already
used for other fireworks displays during
the year as noted in 33 CFR 165.506(c).
It is unnecessary to provide a comment
period for the safety zone because the
public is already aware of the impact
that a limited duration safety zone has
in the immediate area. Additionally,
providing a comment period would be
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
34425
against the public interest because of the
delay that providing for a comment
period would cause. Delaying the public
announcement of this safety zone would
be detrimental to the protection of life
and property because of how limited
notice the public would receive about
the safety zone. As a result, the public
may not be aware of the safety zone and
may be at risk for danger from falling
debris and other hazards associated
with fireworks in a marine environment.
The Coast Guard received the
applications for these two fireworks
displays with short notice, both well
after the specified deadline of 135 days
prior to the event. As such, it is in the
public interest to publish the final rule
as soon as possible to provide for
maximal advertisement of the rule. By
removing the comment period, the rule
will be published with much greater
advanced notice, allowing the boating
public to make plans to avoid the safety
zone as needed.
B. Basis and Purpose
Spectator vessels may gather nearby
to view the fireworks displays. Due to
the need for vessel control during the
fireworks display, vessel traffic will be
temporarily restricted to provide for the
safety of participants, spectators and
transiting vessels. Under provisions of
33 CFR 165.506, during the enforcement
period, vessels may not enter the
regulated area unless they receive
permission from the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Captain of the Port of Hampton
Roads is establishing a safety zone on
specified waters of the Chesapeake Bay
within a 350 foot radius of the position:
37°-15′-47″ N/076°-01′-29″ W (NAD
1983), in the vicinity of Cape Charles,
Virginia. This safety zone will be
enforced on June 20, 2014 and August
2, 2014 between the hours of 9:30 p.m.
and 10:00 p.m. Access to the safety zone
will be restricted during the specified
dates and times.
Except for vessels authorized by the
Captain of the Port or his
Representative, no person or vessel may
enter or remain in the safety zone
during the time frame listed. The
Captain of the Port will give notice of
the enforcement of the safety zone by all
appropriate means to provide the widest
dissemination of notice among the
affected segments of the public. This
will include publication in the Local
Notice to Mariners and Marine
Information Broadcasts.
