Temporary final rule.
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone on
the navigable waters of San Francisco
Bay around Pier 45 due to emergency
response and associated marine debris
as a result of a fire on May 23, 2020.
This safety zone is necessary to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards
created by the presence of marine debris
and the inability to mark the debris.
Unauthorized persons or vessels are
prohibited from entering into, transiting
through, or remaining in the safety zone
without permission of the Captain of the
Port San Francisco or a designated
representative.
This temporary final rule is
effective without actual notice from
June 3, 2020 through June 30, 2020. For
the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from May 29, 2020
through June 3, 2020.

§ 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 with
respect to this rule because it is
impracticable. The Coast Guard received
notice of the need for this safety zone on
May 26, 2020. It is impracticable to go
through the full rulemaking process,
including providing a reasonable
comment period and considering those
comments, because the Coast Guard
must establish this temporary safety
zone by May 29, 2020.
The Coast Guard previously issued a
temporary final rule for an emergency
safety zone effective from May 23, 2020
until May 29, 2020 (Docket number
USCG–2020–0007). The Port of San
Francisco has indicated that emergency
cleanup and the potential presence of
associated marine debris from the fire at
Pier 45 will continue beyond May 29,
2020.
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
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment from potential
hazards created by the emergency
response and the presence of marine
debris.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority 46 U.S.C. 70034
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The
Captain of the Port San Francisco has
determined that potential hazards
associated with the emergency response
and associated marine debris related to
the May 23, 2020 fire and identified
then as potentially dangerous, will be a
safety concern for anyone within a 150yard radius around Pier 45, San
Francisco, CA. For this reason, this
temporary safety zone is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable
E:\FR\FM\03JNR1.SGM
03JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 107 / Wednesday, June 3, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
waters surrounding the marine debris
and ongoing response operations near
Pier 45, San Francisco, CA.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary
safety zone around Pier 45 in support of
ongoing fire emergency response
cleanup and associated marine debris
from May 29, 2020 through June 30,
2020. The safety zone will encompass
the navigable waters of San Francisco
Bay, from surface to bottom, within a
150-yard radius around Pier 45, San
Francisco, CA.
This regulation is needed to keep
persons and vessels away from the
immediate vicinity of the ongoing
response efforts and marine debris to
ensure the safety of personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment. Except for
persons or vessels authorized by the
COTP or the COTP’s designated
representative, no person or vessel may
enter or remain in the restricted area. A
‘‘designated representative’’ means a
Coast Guard Patrol Commander,
including a Coast Guard coxswain, petty
officer, or other officer operating a Coast
Guard vessel or a Federal, State, or local
officer designated by or assisting the
COTP in the enforcement of the safety
zone.

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 limited duration and
narrowly tailored geographic area of the
safety zone. Although this rule restricts
access to the water encompassed by the
safety zone, the effect of this rule will
not be significant because the local
waterway users will be notified to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:16 Jun 02, 2020
Jkt 250001
ensure the safety zone will result in
minimum impact. Additionally, the
vessels desiring to transit through or
around the temporary safety zone may
do so upon express permission from the
COTP or the COTP’s 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
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 U.S. Coast Guard
Environmental Planning Policy,
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 established to deal with an
emergency situation that will prohibit
entry to the area surrounding Pier 45,
which is the site of ongoing emergency
response and potential associated
marine debris. It is categorically
excluded from further review under

Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023–01. A Record of
Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
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.

2019, SIP submittal pursuant to the
requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1)
and 110(a)(2)(A) through (C), and (H)
through (M). We also proposed
approving the Louisiana SIP for
compliance with CAA sections
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), Interference with
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
and 110(a)(2)(D)(ii), Interstate Pollution
Abatement (which refers to CAA section
126) and International Air Pollution
(which refers to CAA section 115). We
did not propose action on the remaining
portions of the November 8, 2019,
submittal addressing CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), and 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II)
(visibility protection portion), which
will be addressed in separate,
subsequent actions. We did not receive
any comments regarding our proposal.
II. Final Action

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 with
respect to this rule because it is impracticable. The Coast Guard
received notice of the need for this safety zone on May 26, 2020. It is
impracticable to go through the full rulemaking process, including
providing a reasonable comment period and considering those comments,
because the Coast Guard must establish this temporary safety zone by
May 29, 2020.
The Coast Guard previously issued a temporary final rule for an
emergency safety zone effective from May 23, 2020 until May 29, 2020
(Docket number USCG-2020-0007). The Port of San Francisco has indicated
that emergency cleanup and the potential presence of associated marine
debris from the fire at Pier 45 will continue beyond May 29, 2020.
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
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential
hazards created by the emergency response and the presence of marine
debris.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port San
Francisco has determined that potential hazards associated with the
emergency response and associated marine debris related to the May 23,
2020 fire and identified then as potentially dangerous, will be a
safety concern for anyone within a 150-yard radius around Pier 45, San
Francisco, CA. For this reason, this temporary safety zone is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable
[[Page 34105]]
waters surrounding the marine debris and ongoing response operations
near Pier 45, San Francisco, CA.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary safety zone around Pier 45 in
support of ongoing fire emergency response cleanup and associated
marine debris from May 29, 2020 through June 30, 2020. The safety zone
will encompass the navigable waters of San Francisco Bay, from surface
to bottom, within a 150-yard radius around Pier 45, San Francisco, CA.
This regulation is needed to keep persons and vessels away from the
immediate vicinity of the ongoing response efforts and marine debris to
ensure the safety of personnel, vessels, and the marine environment.
Except for persons or vessels authorized by the COTP or the COTP's
designated representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in
the restricted area. A ``designated representative'' means a Coast
Guard Patrol Commander, including a Coast Guard coxswain, petty
officer, or other officer operating a Coast Guard vessel or a Federal,
State, or local officer designated by or assisting the COTP in the
enforcement of the safety zone.
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 limited
duration and narrowly tailored geographic area of the safety zone.
Although this rule restricts access to the water encompassed by the
safety zone, the effect of this rule will not be significant because
the local waterway users will be notified to ensure the safety zone
will result in minimum impact. Additionally, the vessels desiring to
transit through or around the temporary safety zone may do so upon
express permission from the COTP or the COTP's designated

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 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 U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Policy,
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
established to deal with an emergency situation that will prohibit
entry to the area surrounding Pier 45, which is the site of ongoing
emergency response and potential associated marine debris. It is
categorically excluded from further review under
[[Page 34106]]
paragraph L60(a) in Table 3-1 of Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting
this determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
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.
