SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis The Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) Railroad Bridge across the New River, mile 2.5, at Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a single-leaf bascule railroad bridge with a 4 foot vertical clearance at mean high water in the closed position. The normal operating schedule for the bridge is found in 33 CFR 117.313(c). There has been an increase in rail traffic over the bridge in recent years due the start of passenger rail service. This test deviation provides a block schedule for the bridge to operate allowing for a more consistent operating schedule. The draw shall operate as follows: (1) The bridge shall be constantly tended. (2) The bridge tender will utilize a VHF–FM radio to communicate on channels 9 and 16 and may be contacted by telephone at 305–889–5572. (3) Signs will be posted displaying VHF radio contact information and E:\FR\FM\21AUR1.SGM 21AUR1 43502 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 21, 2019 / Rules and Regulations jspears on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES telephone numbers for the bridge tender and dispatch. A countdown clock giving notice of time remaining before bridge closure shall remain at the bridge site and must be visible for maritime traffic. (4) A bridge log will be maintained including, at a minimum, bridge opening and closing times. (5) When the draw is in the fully open position, green lights will be displayed to indicate that vessels may pass. (6) When a train approaches, the lights go to flashing red then the draw lowers and locks. (7) After the train has cleared the bridge, the draw opens and the lights return to green. (8) The bridge shall not be closed more than 60 minutes combined in each consecutive 120-minute block of time beginning at 12:01 a.m. each day. At no time will the bridge be closed to navigation for more than 60 consecutive minutes of time. (9) The bridge shall remain open to maritime traffic when trains are not crossing. Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. II.

SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port 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 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 and contrary to the public interest to do so. There is insufficient time to allow for a reasonable comment period prior to the date of the event. The rule must be in force by August 31, 2019. We are taking immediate action to ensure the safety of spectators and the general public from hazards associated with the fireworks display. Hazards include accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris. 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 displays in this location. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The Captain of the Port Delaware Bay (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be used in this August 31, 2019 display will be a safety concern for anyone within a 300 yard radius of the 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 the Rule This rule establishes a temporary safety zone on the waters of the E:\FR\FM\21AUR1.SGM 21AUR1
