Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters within a 600-foot
radius of a portion of Lake St. Clair,
Grosse Point, MI. This zone is necessary
to protect spectators and vessels from
potential hazards associated with the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra Fireworks.
Entry of vessels or persons into this
zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Detroit.
DATES: This temporary final rule is
effective from 10:15 p.m. on July 7,
2017, through 10:45 p.m. on July 8,
2017.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:07 Jun 01, 2017
Jkt 241001
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 doing
so would be impracticable. The Coast
Guard did not receive the final details
of this fireworks display 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 impracticable because it would
inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability to
protect participants, mariners and
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
vessels from the hazards associated with
this event.
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 Detroit (COTP) has
determined that potential hazard
associated with fireworks from 10:15
p.m. to 10:45 p.m. on July 7 and from
10:15 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. on July 8, 2017
will be a safety concern to anyone
within a 600-foot radius of the launch
site. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone while the
fireworks are being displayed.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 10:15 p.m. through 10:45 p.m. on
July 7 and July 8, 2017. The safety zone
will encompass all U.S. navigable
waters of Lake St. Clair, Grosse Point
Shores, MI, within a 600-foot radius of
position 42°27.25′ N., 082°51.8′ W.
(NAD 83). No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the
COTP or a designated representative.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive
orders.
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
approaches that maximize net benefits.
E:\FR\FM\02JNR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 105 / Friday, June 2, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
nlaroche on DSK30NT082PROD with RULES
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. Executive Order 13771
(‘‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs’’), directs agencies to
reduce regulation and control regulatory
costs and provides that ‘‘for every one
new regulation issued, at least two prior
regulations be identified for elimination,
and that the cost of planned regulations
be prudently managed and controlled
through a budgeting process.’’ This rule
has not been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, it has not
been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget.
As this rule is not a significant
regulatory action, this rule is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771. See OMB’s Memorandum
titled ‘‘Interim Guidance Implementing
Section 2 of the Executive Order of
January 30, 2017 titled ‘Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs’ ’’ (February 2, 2017).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration,
and time-of-year of the safety zone.
Vessel traffic will be able to safely
transit around this safety zone which
will impact a small designated area of
Lake St. Clair from 10:15 p.m. to 10:45
p.m. on July 7 and from 10:15 p.m. to
10:45 p.m. on July 8, 2017. Moreover,
the Coast Guard will issue Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF–FM marine
channel 16 about the zone and the rule
allows vessels to seek permission to
enter the zone.
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.
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:07 Jun 01, 2017
Jkt 241001
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Governments
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent
with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements
described in Executive Order 13132.
Also, this rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes. If you
believe this rule has implications for
federalism or Indian tribes, please
contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. 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 (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 a safety
zone lasting less than thirty minutes
that will prohibit entry within 600-feet
firework launch site. It is categorically
excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2–
1, paragraph 34(g) of the Commandant
Instruction. A Record of Environmental
Consideration (REC) supporting this
determination is available in the docket
where indicated in the ADDRESSES
section of this preamble.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places or vessels.

authorizes an agency to issue a rule

impracticable and contrary to the public
interest because waiting for a comment
period to run would inhibit the Coast
Guard’s response to protecting the
environment and public from the
dangers associated with a maritime
pollution response and shoreside repair
efforts.
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 of this rule
would be impracticable and contrary to
public interest for the same reasons
discussed in the preceding paragraph.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The
COTP has determined that the
emergency pollution response activities
pose hazards to the boating public
within the Brooklyn, NY half of the East
River and Buttermilk Channel. The
COTP has determined that this rule is
necessary to protect the public from
these hazards.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 4 p.m. on May 8, 2017 through 5
p.m. on July 14, 2017. The safety zone
will cover all navigable waters of the
Brooklyn, NY half of the East River and
Buttermilk Channel. The duration of the
zone is intended to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in
these navigable waters while the
dielectric fluid is being recovered and
necessary shoreside repair operations
are ongoing. No person or vessel will be
permitted to enter the safety zone unless
obtaining permission from the COTP or
a designated representative.

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 Detroit (COTP) has determined that
potential hazard associated with fireworks from 10:15 p.m. to 10:45

IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone from 10:15 p.m. through 10:45

V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and

based on these statutes and executive orders.
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 approaches that maximize
net benefits.
[[Page 25516]]
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both
costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of
promoting flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to reduce regulation
and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new
regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for
elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently
managed and controlled through a budgeting process.'' This rule has not
been designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget.
As this rule is not a significant regulatory action, this rule is
exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB's
Memorandum titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the
Executive Order of January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-year of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be able to safely transit around this safety zone which will
impact a small designated area of Lake St. Clair from 10:15 p.m. to
10:45 p.m. on July 7 and from 10:15 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. on July 8, 2017.
Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone and the rule allows vessels to
seek permission to enter the zone.
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.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
F. 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 (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 a safety zone lasting less than thirty minutes that will
prohibit entry within 600-feet firework launch site. It is
categorically excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g)
of the Commandant Instruction. A Record of Environmental Consideration
(REC) supporting this determination is available in the docket where
indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
