ACTION: Final rule. This rule is effective on August 27, 2018. SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters of the Upper Mississippi River. The safety zone is necessary to protect persons, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by a demolition project taking place on the bank of the Upper Mississippi River near Alma, WI. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River or a designated representative. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: DATES: This final rule removes the Department of the Army’s regulation concerning participation of Army bands on and off post. This part has been superseded by requirements which direct appropriate participation of U.S. military bands on and off post. This part conveys internal Army policy and procedures and is unnecessary. Therefore, this part should be removed from the CFR. SUMMARY: DATES: Jennifer Williams at 757–462–1060. Public comment on the removal of 32 CFR part 508 is not required because the regulation involves a matter relating to agency management and personnel, and because the regulation is a general statement of policy.

Background Information and Regulatory History [FR Doc. 2018–18480 Filed 8–24–18; 8:45 am] 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 Music, Utilization of Army bands. PART 508—[REMOVED] amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES Coast Guard, DHS. Temporary final rule.

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)(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 is impracticable. It is impracticable because we must establish this safety zone by September 28, 2018, and we lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before issuing the rule. The NPRM process would delay the establishment of the safety zone and compromise public safety. 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 Upper Mississippi River (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with the equipment to be used in the demolition of a 700 foot tall chimney at the Dairyland Power Cooperative Station will be a safety concern for anyone on a six-tenths of a mile stretch of the Upper Mississippi River at the time the chimney is toppled. This rule is needed to protect persons, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone before, during, and after the demolition. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from September 28, 2018 through October 15, 2018. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters of the Upper Mississippi River between mile markers 751.2 and 751.8, adjacent to the eastern river bank, where the demolition of a 700-foot chimney will take place. The Coast Guard was informed that the demolition itself would take approximately 30 minutes on one day and that all debris should be contained and is not expected to enter the waterway. The period of enforcement of this safety zone will be two hours before, thirty minutes during, and thirty minutes after the demolition. The COTP or a designated representative will inform the public through Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM), Local Notices to Mariners (LNM), and/or Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs), or through other means of public notice, as appropriate, at least 3 hours in advance of the enforcement period. The duration of the zone is intended to protect persons, vessels, and the marine E:\FR\FM\27AUR1.SGM 27AUR1
