NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
On October 17, 2018, Pyrotecnico,
Inc., of New Castle, PA, notified the
Coast Guard that it will be conducting
a fireworks display from 11:55 p.m. on
December 31, 2018, to 12:30 a.m. on
January 1, 2019, sponsored by the City
of Annapolis, MD. The fireworks are to
be launched from a barge in Spa Creek,
in Annapolis, MD. Additional details
were received on November 5, 2018. In
response, on November 27, 2018, the
Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled
‘‘Safety Zone for Fireworks Display; Spa
Creek, Annapolis, MD’’ (83 FR 60802).
There we stated why we issued the
NPRM, and invited comments on our
proposed regulatory action related to
this fireworks display. During the
comment period that ended December
12, 2018, we received seven comments.
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 needed to mitigate
the potential safety hazards associated
with a fireworks display in this location.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The
