Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on Lake Erie, Bay Village, OH. This safety zone is intended to restrict vessels from a portion of Lake Erie during the Bay Village Independence Day Celebration fireworks display on July 4, 2016. This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect mariners and vessels from the navigational hazards associated with a fireworks display. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo (COTP). DATES: This rule is effective from 9:45 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. on July 4, 2016.

Executive order FR Federal Register VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:06 Jun 24, 2016 Jkt 238001 NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking Pub. L. Public Law § Section U.S.C. United States Code will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative. II. Background Information and Regulatory History V. Regulatory Analyses 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 finds good cause that those procedures are ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(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 would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. The final details for this event were not provided to the Coast Guard until there was insufficient time remaining before the event to publish an NPRM. Thus, delaying the effective date of this rule to wait for a comment period to run would be both impracticable and contrary to the public interest because it would inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability to protect spectators and vessels from the hazards associated with a fireworks display. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard issues this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. On July 4, 2016, between 9:45 p.m. and 10:45 p.m., a fireworks display will be held on the shoreline of Lake Erie in Bay Village, OH, in the vicinity of Cahoon Memorial Park. It is anticipated that numerous vessels will be in the immediate vicinity of the launch point. The Captain of the Port Buffalo has determined that potential hazards associated with this fireworks display poses a significant risk to public safety and property within a 560-foot radius of the launch point. Such hazards include premature and accidental detonations of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling or burning debris. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone from 9:45 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. on July 4, 2016. The safety zone will encompass all waters of Lake Erie; Bay Village, OH within a 560-foot radius of position 41°29′23.9″ N. and 081°55′44.5″ W. (NAD 83). The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of spectators and vessels during the Bay Village Independence Day Celebration fireworks display. No vessel or person PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors. A. Regulatory Planning and Review This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy, and will not: Interfere with other agencies; adversely alter the budget of any grant or loan recipients; or raise any novel legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be relatively small and enforced for a relatively short time. Also, the safety zone is designed to minimize its impact on navigable waters. Under certain conditions, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when permitted by the Captain of the Port. B. Impact on Small Entities The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
