SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The North
Carolina Department of Transportation,
owner and operator of the U.S. Route 76
(Cape Fear Memorial) Bridge across the
Cape Fear River, mile 26.8, in
Wilmington, NC, has requested a
temporary deviation from the current

routine maintenance.
Under this temporary deviation, the
bridge will require a four hour advanced
notice to open from 12:01 a.m. on June
15, 2018, to 5 p.m. on November 30,
2018. The current operating schedule is
set out in 33 CFR 117.822.
The Cape Fear River is used by a
variety of vessels including small
commercial vessels, recreational vessels
and tug and barge traffic. The Coast
Guard has carefully considered the
restrictions with waterway users in
publishing this temporary deviation.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed position may do so
at any time. 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 Notice
to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessel
operators can arrange their transits to

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
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
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
29003
‘‘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 it
would be impracticable. This safety
zone must be established by June 30,
2018 and we lack sufficient time to
provide a reasonable comment period
and then consider those comments
before issuing this rule. The NPRM
process would delay the establishment
of the safety zone until after the
scheduled date of the fireworks and
compromise public safety.
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. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest because
immediate action is necessary to
respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with the fireworks display.
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 Sector Corpus
Christi (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the
fireworks display occurring on June 30,
2018 will be a safety concern for anyone
within a 500-foot radius of the fireworks
display. This rule is necessary to ensure
the safety of life before, during, and after
the scheduled firework displays.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary
safety zone from 7:30 p.m. through 9:30
p.m. on June 30, 2018. The safety zone
will cover all navigable waters within
500 feet of the fireworks launch location
at Point Comfort Bayfront Park in the
approximate position 28°40′52.93″ N,
096°33′47.723″ W, Point Comfort, TX.
The duration of the zone is intended to
protect the public from the fireworks
display before, during, and after the
scheduled fireworks display. The
duration of the zone is intended to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment before, during, and
after the scheduled firework displays.
Entry of vessels or persons into this
zone is prohibited unless authorized by
the COTP or a designated
representative. A designated
representative is a commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer of the U.S.
Coast Guard assigned to units under the
operational control of USCG Sector
Corpus Christi. Persons or vessels
seeking to enter the safety zone must
request permission from the COTP or a
designated representative on VHF–FM
