Jkt 247001
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
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 it is
impracticable. The Captain of the Port
Sector Upper Mississippi River (COTP)
was made aware of the fireworks
display on June 13, 2019. The
immediate action is needed to respond
to the potential safety hazards
associated with the barge launched
fireworks display. It is impracticable to
publish an NPRM because we must
establish this safety zone by June 29,
2019 and lack sufficient time to provide
a reasonable comment period and then
consider those comments before issuing
this 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 be contrary to the public
interest because immediate action is
needed to respond to the potential
safety hazards associated with the bargelaunched fireworks display.
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
Captain of the Port Sector Upper
Mississippi River (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards
associated with a fireworks display on
June 29, 2019 will be a safety concern
for anyone on the Lake of the Ozarks
within 250 feet of a barge being used to
launch fireworks near Sunrise Beach,
MO. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone before, during,
and after the fireworks display.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 8:15 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. on June 29,
2019. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters of the Lake of the
Ozarks within 250 feet of a barge being
used to launch fireworks in the vicinity

latitude 38°10′13.50″ N, longitude
092°38′21.19″ W near Sunrise Beach,
MO. The duration of the zone is
intended to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment in these
navigable waters before, during, and
after an annual fireworks display. No
vessel or person will be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
designated representative. A designated
representative is a commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer of the U.S.
Coast Guard assigned to units under the
operational control of USCG Sector
Upper Mississippi River. The COTP or
a designated representative will inform
the public of the enforcement date and
times for this safety zone, as well as any
emergent safety concerns that may delay
the enforcement of the zone through
Local Notices to Mariners (LNMs) and/
or actual notice.
V. 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
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 location, size, and
duration of this rule. This rule is in
effect for a small area of the waterway,
all navigable waters of the Lake of the
Ozarks within 250 feet of a barge being
used to launch fireworks, and for a very
limited period of time of two and one
half hours. It will be in effect on June
29, 2019, when vessel traffic is not
usually heavy. The location of the barge
will be along the west bank of the lake
and will be well outside of the normal
path of traffic and the transiting vessels
can go around the zone. In addition,
vessels desiring to enter the zone, can
request permission from the COTP or a
designated representative.

B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
the potential impact of regulations on
small entities during rulemaking. The
term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the
temporary safety zone may be small
entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Governments
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:55 Jun 25, 2019
Jkt 247001
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent
with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements
described in Executive Order 13132.
Also, this rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes. If you
believe this rule has implications for
federalism or Indian tribes, please
contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
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.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023–01 and Environmental
Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have
determined 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 not more than two and one
half hours that will prohibit entry on the
Lake of the Ozarks within 250 feet of a
barge being used to launch fireworks in
the vicinity latitude 38°10′13.50″ N,
longitude 092°38′21.19″ W near Sunrise
Beach, MO. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph
L60(A) in Table 3–1 of U.S. Coast Guard
Environmental Planning Implementing
Procedures 5090.1.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) adopts as final, with no
changes, an interim final rule amending
its regulations that govern programs
benefitting homeless veterans to
implement a new statutory requirement.
The statute requires VA to establish a
new grant program that will provide
case management services to improve
the retention of housing by veterans
who were previously homeless and are
transitioning to permanent housing and
to veterans who are at risk of becoming
homeless. The grant program
established by the interim final rule,
which is now adopted as final, will be
an essential part of VA’s attempts to
eliminate homelessness among the
veteran population.
DATES: This final rule is effective June
26, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a

benefitting homeless veterans. 83 FR
25915. VA provided a 60-day comment
period, which ended on August 6, 2018.
We received three comments on the
interim final rule.
The general authority for VA
homeless grant and per diem program is
38 United States Code (U.S.C.) 2011 and
2012. In an effort to reduce
homelessness in the veteran population,
Congress has required VA to expand its
benefits for homeless veterans by

establishing a new grant program to
provide funds to organizations that will
provide case management services to
improve the retention of housing by
veterans who were previously homeless
and are transitioning to permanent
housing and to veterans who are at risk
of becoming homeless. See Public Law
114–315, sec. 712 (Dec. 16, 2016)
(codified at 38 U.S.C. 2013). This final
rule, adopts as final, an interim final
rule that added this new case
management program to VA’s Homeless
Providers Grant and Per Diem Program
regulations by adding a new subpart G
to 38 CFR part 61 to accurately reflect
these changes in law. The new case
management program mirrors existing
homeless grant per diem programs as
much as possible for ease of
administrating and running the new
grant program.
We received three comments. We
received one comment in support of the
rule. The commenter stated that the rule
will help individuals who were
previously homeless obtain the help and
support they need to transition to
permanent housing and assist in the
referral of homeless individuals to
health care and mental health services.
The commenter further stated that the
case manager ‘‘could provide valuable
support to veterans regarding education
related to the tenant and financial
responsibilities, healthy meal choices,
transportation and other community
resources.’’ We are not making any edits
based on this comment.
One commenter was concerned with
‘‘the prohibition against: ‘the use of
grant funds for veterans who are
receiving case management services
from permanent supportive housing
programs (e.g. Housing and Urban
Development—VA Supportive Housing)
or rapid re-housing/homeless
prevention programs [e.g. Supportive
Services for Veteran Families (SSVF)].’
This prohibition is found in the
proposed 38CFR61.90(a).’’ The
commenter requested clarification to the
regulation to now state ‘‘that veterans in
the HUD–VASH program but not
receiving case management services
therefrom (such as those veterans
graduated off of those services) would in
fact be eligible for the proposed case
management services.’’
The interim final rule explains that, to
maximize those served by this new
program, these grants may not be used
for veterans who are receiving case
management services from permanent
supportive housing programs (e.g.,
HUD–VASH program) or rapid rehousing/homeless prevention programs
(e.g. SSVF). 83 FR at 25915. In other
words, the new case management
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
benefits cannot be provided
concurrently with case management
services provided under these other
programs. This also prevents
duplication of benefits.
We believe that this particular
concern centers around those veterans
who have graduated from VA’s Housing
and Urban Development Veterans
Administration Supportive Housing
(HUD–VASH) Program and a perceived
need to clarify their eligibility for case
management services under this new
program.
HUD–VASH participants graduate
when they no longer require, and hence
participate in, case management
services; however, for financial reasons
they may continue to receive the HUD
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher.
While exited from case management
under this program, they are fully
integrated within the larger VA system
of care and/or the community.
Consistent with VA HUD–VASH policy,
while continuing to use their rental
assistance Section 8 voucher, they must
be given the opportunity to return to
case management under the HUD–
VASH program, if needed. Upon review,
VHA may approve requests for
readmission to case management
services under the HUD–VASH
program. So, we disagree with the
commenter’s underlying assumption
that HUD–VASH participants who have
graduated from case management are
foreclosed from obtaining needed case
management services and so should be
eligible for them under this new
program. A mechanism is already in
place for graduates from the HUD–
VASH program to request readmission
to case management. If the request is not
approved, they may seek these services
under grants awarded under this new
grant program. The bar on the receipt of
duplicate case management services
refers only to cases where case
management services would be
provided under both this new grant
program and a permanent supportive
housing program or rapid re-housing/
homeless prevention program. For these
reasons, we do not believe that further
clarification in the regulation text is
needed. We make no changes based on
this comment.
A commenter noted that prohibiting
case management through Supportive
Services for Veterans Families (SSVF)
will prohibit temporary financial
assistance through SSVF. As stated in
§ 62.1, SSVF provides supportive
services grants to eligible entities to
facilitate the provision of supportive
services to very low-income veteran
families who are occupying permanent
housing. In developing the

that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
temporary safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
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.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
determined 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 not more than two
and one half hours that will prohibit entry on the Lake of the Ozarks
within 250 feet of a barge being used to launch fireworks in the
vicinity latitude 38[deg]10'13.50'' N, longitude 092[deg]38'21.19'' W
near Sunrise Beach, MO. It is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L60(A) in Table 3-1 of U.S. Coast Guard
Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
