SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary 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 to do
so would be impracticable since the
salvage operations are on-going and
delaying promulgation of the regulation
could result in injury or damage to the
persons and vessels conducting those
operations.
We are issuing this rule, and under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for making it
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
Delaying the effective date until 30 days
after publication would be

impracticable since the salvage
operations are on-going and delaying
promulgation of the regulation could
result in injury or damage to the persons
and vessels conducting those
operations.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The
Captain of the Port Columbia River
(COTP) has determined that the wake
created by vessels transiting the waters
of the Columbia River, between river
miles 71 and 73, creates a safety hazard
for the persons, including divers, and
vessels engaged in salvage operations
involving the M/V SPARNA at the Port
of Kalama in Kalama, WA. As such, this
rule is necessary to ensure the safety of
those persons, including divers, and
vessels.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
The on-going salvage operations at the
Port of Kalama, in Kalama, WA, involve
underwater dive operations with
support vessels. These operations are,
by their nature, hazardous and sensitive
to water movement. Wakes from passing
vessels could pose significant risks of
injury or death to the involved
personnel and risks of damage to
involved vessels. In order to mitigate the
safety risks vessel wakes pose to these
operations, it is necessary to control
vessel movement through the area. The
purpose of this regulation is to ensure
the safety of waterway users for the
duration of this salvage operation. In
order to minimize such unexpected or
uncontrolled movement of water, the
RNA requires all vessels transiting this
area to operate in such a manner as to
create no wake. The RNA will
encompass all waters of the Columbia
River between river miles 71 and 73.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
