F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023–01 and Commandant
Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the
Coast Guard in complying with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have
made a preliminary determination 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 1 hour that will prohibit
entry within 600 feet of a fireworks
barge. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 01. A
preliminary Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket

■
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.

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
MEDOT Maine Department of
Transportation
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
On August 21, 2018, the Maine
Department of Transportation (MEDOT)
notified the Coast Guard that it will be
removing bedrock in the areas between
Rutherford Island and Bristol Neck
underneath The Gut Bridge. The
removal operations include removing
bedrock from between the bridge
abutments and areas near the navigation
channel both upstream and downstream
of The Gut Bridge. To remove the
bedrock workers will need to utilize the
waterway underneath the bridge span
and prohibit people and vessels from
entering the safety zone at various
times. Removal operations are expected
to take place between 8 November 2018
and 31 March 2019. However, we only
anticipate a continuous 35 day full
closure of the waterway. The COTP
Northern New England has determined
that the potential hazards associated
with the removal operations will be a
safety concern for anyone transiting
within a 50-yard radius of the center
point of The Gut Bridge.
In response, on September 27, 2018,
the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled
‘‘Safety Zone; The Gut, South Bristol,
ME’’ (83 FR 48748). There we stated
why we issued the NPRM, and invited
comments on our proposed regulatory
action related to this safety zone. During
the comment period that ended on
October 29, 2018, we received no
comments.
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with bedrock removal
operations near The Gut Bridge which
are scheduled to commence on
November 8, 2018.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The
COTP Northern New England has
determined that potential hazards
associated with the bedrock removal
operations will be a safety concern for
anyone transiting within a 50-yard
radius of the center point of the bridge.
The purpose of this rule is to ensure the
safety of vessels and personnel within a
50-yard radius of the center point of The
Gut Bridge before, during, and after the
bedrock removal operations.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received no
comments on our NPRM published
September 27, 2018. There are no
changes in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the
NPRM.
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 12:01 a.m. on November 8, 2018 to
11:59 on March 31, 2019. While the
safety zone would be effective
throughout this period, it would only be
enforced during periods of active
bedrock removal operations. The safety
zone would include all navigable waters
from surface to bottom within a 50 yard
radius from the center point of The Gut
Bridge between Rutherford Island and
Bristol Neck in South Bristol, ME.
During times of enforcement, no vessel
or person would be permitted to enter
the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP Northern
New England or a designated
representative. The Coast Guard will
notify the public and local mariners of
this safety zone through appropriate
means, which may include, but are not
limited to, publication in the Federal
Register, the Local Notice to Mariners,
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
marine Channel 16 (VHF–FM) in
advance of any enforcement.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
