IV. Discussion of the Rule
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
This rule establishes a temporary
special local regulation from 7 p.m.
until 9 p.m. on July 31, 2018. In light
of the aforementioned hazards, the
COTP has determined that a special
local regulation is necessary to protect
spectators, vessels, and the marine
environment. The special local
regulation will cover all navigable
waters within the following coordinates:
43°04′5 N, 086°14′12.4″ W; then east to
43°04′2″ N, 086°14′1″ W; then south to
43°03′45″ N, 086°14′10″ W; then west to
43°03′48″ N, 086°14′17″ W; then back to
the point of origin. No vessel or person
will be permitted to enter the regulated
area without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated
representative.
The COTP or his designated on-scene
representative will notify the public of
the enforcement of this rule by all
appropriate means, including a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local
Notice to Mariners. The COTP or his
designated on-scene representative may
be contacted via VHF Channel 16, or at
(404) 747–7182.
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
[FR Doc. 2018–15235 Filed 7–16–18; 8:45 am]
ACTION:
I. Table of Abbreviations
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
Grand Haven Waterski show is an
annual event codified in 33 CFR
100.906. The coordinates listed therein
are not accurate for this year’s event,
and final details for the event were not
received in time to publish an NPRM.
As such, it is impracticable to publish
an NPRM because we lack sufficient
time to provide a reasonable comment
period and then consider those
comments before issuing the rule.
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 inhibit the Coast
Guard’s ability to protect participants,
mariners and 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. 1233. The
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan
(COTP) has determined that the
combination of recreational vessels,
commercial vessels, and an unknown
number of spectators in close proximity
to the waterski show pose extra and
unusual hazards to public safety and
property. Specific hazards include
collisions among event participants,
collisions between participants and
recreational traffic, and other traffic that
may cause injury or marine casualties.
Therefore, the COTP is amending a
Special Local Regulation around the
event location to help minimize risks to
safety of life and property to persons,
vessels, and the marine environment
during this event.

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, 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
approaches that maximize net benefits.
Executive Order 13771 directs agencies
to control regulatory costs through a
budgeting process. This rule has not
been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has
not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration,
and time-of-day of the special local
regulation. The event is in the evening
hours, and will last for a maximum of
2 hours. Moreover, the Coast Guard will
issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
VHF–FM marine channel 16 about the
special local regulation, and the rule
allows vessels to seek permission to
enter the zone.
