Revise § 269.4 to read as follows: § 269.4 Cost of living adjustments of civil monetary penalties. (a) The inflation adjustment under § 269.3 must be determined by increasing the maximum civil monetary penalty or the range of minimum and maximum civil monetary penalties, as applicable, for each civil monetary penalty by the cost-of-living adjustment. Any increase determined under this subsection shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1.

For example, if the Consumer Price Index for October 2016 is 1.0 and the Consumer Price Index for October 2015 was 0.75, then all applicable penalties will need to be positively adjusted by 0.25 by January 15, 2017.

Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code 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 the Coast Guard received notice on March 1, 2016, that this event would take place. After receiving and fully reviewing the event information, circumstances and exact location, the Coast Guard determined that a safety zone is necessary to protect spectators, participants, and the personnel involved in the West Virginia Triathlon. It would be impracticable to complete the full NPRM process for this safety zone because it needs to be established by June, 19, 2016. The triathlon event has been advertised and the local community has prepared for the event. For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), we find good cause for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication. 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 Pittsburgh (COTP) has determined that a safety zone is needed on June 19, 2016. This rule is needed to protect personnel, spectators, and participants in navigable waters during the swimming portion of the West Virginia Triathlon. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone on June 19, 2016, from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters on the Monongahela River from mile 97.5 to mile 100.5. The duration of the safety zone is intended to protect personnel, spectators, and participants while the swimming portion of the West Virginia Triathlon takes place. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the E:\FR\FM\26MYR1.SGM 26MYR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Virginia Department of Transportation 
(VDOT), the owner of the Coleman Memorial Bridge (US 17), has requested 
a temporary deviation from the current operating regulation to perform 
repairs. VDOT needs to perform mechanical work that cannot be 
accomplished when the bridge is moveable. The bridge must be in the 
closed-to-navigation position to perform the maintenance. The bridge is 
a single bascule span and has a vertical clearance in the closed 
position of seven feet above mean high water. The York River is used by 
a variety of vessels including deep draft ocean-going vessels, U. S. 
government vessels, Small commercial fishing vessels, recreational 
vessels and tug and barge traffic. The Coast Guard has carefully 
coordinated the restrictions with U. S. government and commercial 
waterway users.
    Under this temporary deviation, the bridge will remain in the 
closed-to-navigation position from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as follows: Sunday,

set out in 33 CFR 117.1025.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may 
do so at anytime. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies 
and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels unable to pass 
through the bridge in the closed position. 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 vessel operators 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 effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
