and to only provide a double leaf
opening with a five hour advance
notice. This deviation allows one half of
the bridge to remain in the closed
position while reducing the vertical
clearance of the non-operating span by
four feet to account for the installation
of a moveable platform underneath the
bridge.
DATES: This deviation is effective
without actual notice from August 22,
2014 through 6 p.m. on January 21,
2015. For the purposes of enforcement,
actual notice will be used from 7 a.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Seattle Department of Transportation
(SDOT) has requested a temporary
deviation from the operating schedule
for the Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6,
crossing the Lake Washington Ship
Canal at Seattle, WA. The deviation is
necessary to accommodate SDOT
workers for a bridge painting project. To
facilitate this event, the full draw of the
bridge need not open for vessel traffic
ADDRESSES:
unless a five hour advance notice is
provided to the bridge operator.
Additionally, one half of the draw of the
bridge will be maintained in the closedto-navigation position, and the
clearance reduced up to four feet. This
deviation will begin at 7 a.m. on August
6, 2014 and continue until 6 p.m. on
January 21, 2015.
The Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6, is a
double leaf bascule bridge which
provides a vertical clearance of 14 feet
(31 feet of vertical clearance for the
center 36 horizontal feet) in the closed
position. The clearance is referenced to
the mean water elevation of Lake
Washington. The normal operating
schedule for the Fremont Bridge is set
out in 33 CFR 117.1051 and states that
the bridge need not open from 7 a.m. to
9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Monday through Friday for vessels less
than 1000 tons. The normal operating
schedule for this bridge also requires
one hour advance notification for bridge
openings between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
daily. Waterway usage on the Lake
Washington Ship Canal ranges from
commercial tug and barge to small
pleasure craft.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed positions may do so
at any time. The bridge will be able to
open one leaf, half of the draw span, for
emergencies and there is no immediate
alternate route for vessels to pass. The
Coast Guard will also inform the users
of the waterways through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
change in operating schedule for the
bridge so that vessels can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused
by the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

Security Zone: Martha’s Vineyard,

Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
The Coast Guard is
establishing two 1000-yard temporary
security zones around the President of
the United States (POTUS) and/or the
first family in conjunction with their
visit to Martha’s Vineyard,
Massachusetts. Vessels and people will
be prohibited from entering these
security zones during the effective
period.
These security zones will be effective
from 30 minutes prior to the arrival of
the POTUS and/or the first family
within 1000 yards of navigable waters of
the U.S. in the the coastal areas of
Chilmark and Edgartown Great Pond,
Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, until
departure of the POTUS and/or the first
family from the area. These security
zones are needed to safeguard the
POTUS and the first family from
potential threats or harm. Entry into
these zones by any vessel or person is
prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port
(COTP) or the COTP’s designated onscene representative.
DATES: This rule is effective without
actual notice from August 22, 2014 until

A. 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
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because of the
sensitive security issues related to the
POTUS and first family. Providing a
public notice and comment period is
contrary to national security concerns
and the public interest.
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. Any delay encountered in this
PO 00000
Frm 00028

temporary rule’s effective date would be
contrary to the public interest given the
immediate need to ensure the safety and
security of the POTUS and first family
during their visit to Martha’s Vineyard,
Massachusetts, from August 08, 2014
through August 24, 2014.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this rule is 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, and 160.5;
Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064; and
Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1.
The POTUS and first family will visit
Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, from
August 08, 2014 through August 24,
2014. It is expected they will reside
and/or participate in activities on
property that borders navigable waters
within the Captain of the Port,
Southeastern New England zone. The
U.S. Secret Service has requested that
the Coast Guard provide 1000-yard
waterside security zones around the
POTUS and the first family. These
security zones are intended to provide
security for the POTUS and first family
by preventing vessels and persons from
approaching the location of the POTUS
and first family without prior
authorization from the U.S. Secret
Service.
C. Discussion of Rule
This temporary rule establishes 1000yard security zones in the navigable
waters in the vicinity of the POTUS and
first family during their visit to Martha’s
Vineyard, Massachusetts, from August
08–24, 2014. Vessels and persons will
be prohibited from entering these
security zones whenever they are
enforced due to the presence of the
POTUS and/or first family.
This rule is effective from 8:00 a.m.
on Friday, August 08, 2014 through 5:00
p.m. on Sunday, August 24, 2014.
This action is intended to temporarily
prohibit vessels or people from
approaching within 1000 yards of the
POTUS and/or first family while they
are in or near the navigable waters of the
U.S. during their visit to Martha’s
Vineyard, Massachusetts.
The Captain of the Port, Southeastern
New England, anticipates negligible
negative impact on vessel traffic from
these temporary security zones, as they
will be in effect for only sixteen days,
and will only be enforced while the
POTUS and/or first family are in the
vicinity of the navigable waters of the
U.S. at Martha’s Vineyard,
Massachusetts. It has been determined
that the necessary security
enhancements provided by this rule
