SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History On February 18, 2019, the Premier Pyrotechnics Inc. notified the Coast Guard that it would be conducting a fireworks display from 9 to 9:30 p.m. on May 4, 2019, for a private event taking place at the Tan-Tar-A Resort in Osage Beach, MO. The fireworks are to be launched from a barge in the Lake of the Ozarks approximately 250 feet southeast of the southern point of the resort near mile marker 26. In response, on March 15, 2019, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone; Lake of the Ozarks, Osage Beach, MO (84 FR 9468). 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 April 15, 2019, we received five comments, all of which were in favor of the safety zone. 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. The application for this fireworks display was not received in sufficient time to permit both a comment period and for making this rule effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. The determination of good cause was made due to the fact that no comments in opposition to the proposed rule were received regarding this event, that this area is routinely used for fireworks displays throughout the year, and the fact that delaying the effective date of this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the barge launched fireworks display at this location. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be used in this May 4, 2019 display will be a safety concern for anyone within a 300foot radius of the fireworks barge. The purpose of this rule is to ensure safety of vessels and the navigable waters in the safety zone before, during, and after the scheduled event. IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule As noted above, we received five comments on our NPRM published March 15, 2019. All five comments recognized the inherent risks involved with fireworks displays and indicated favor for the proposed rule. One comment posed a concern about providing an alternate route to avoid the safety zone to ensure there would not be a buildup of vessels surrounding the zone. Waters of Lake of the Ozarks outside of the established safety zone will be available and open for all traffic, as normal. 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 8:45 to 9:45 p.m. on May 4, 2019. The safety zone would cover all navigable waters within 300 feet of a barge in the Lake of the Ozarks located approximately 250 feet southeast of the southern point of the Tan-Tar-a Resort near mile marker 26. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels on these navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled fireworks display. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety E:\FR\FM\23APR1.SGM 23APR1
