VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:50 Jul 08, 2020 Jkt 250001 ACTION: Coast Guard, DHS. Final rule. The Coast Guard is amending and establishing several permanent safety zones in the Captain of the Port San Francisco zone.

This regulation prohibits persons and vessels from entering the safety zones unless authorized by the Captain of the Port San Francisco or a designated representative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADDRESSES: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port San Francisco DHS Department of Homeland Security NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 U.S.C. 41189 United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History Fireworks displays in 33 CFR 165.1191 are held annually on the navigable waters within the Captain of the Port San Francisco (COTP) zone. After conducting a review of the fireworks displays listed in 33 CFR 165.1191, the specifications for eight of the events listed in the table no longer accurately reflect the actual event parameters, and three annual fireworks displays are not listed in the table. In response, on March 17, 2020, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled ‘‘Safety Zones; Northern California and Lake Tahoe Area Annual Fireworks Events, San Francisco, CA’’ (85 FR 15082). There, we stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to these fireworks displays. During the comment period that ended May 18, 2020, we received one comment. 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 used in these annual displays would be a safety concern for any unauthorized vessels or persons within the safety zones during the respective fireworks displays. The purpose of this rule is to ensure safety on the navigable waters within the safety zones for the fireworks displays before, during, and after the scheduled events. IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule As noted above, we received one comment on our NPRM published March 17, 2020. The comment requested an explanation for the variance between safety zone sizes for different fireworks displays and inquired about whether or not current COVID–19 public health orders were taken into effect when assessing the costs and benefits of this regulation. Each fireworks display has different setup and display characteristics, designated by the fireworks display sponsor. To determine the size of the safety zone used for each fireworks display, the Coast Guard follows guidelines established by the National Fire Protection Association in relation to the largest shell size used for each fireworks display. In addition, safety zone characteristics also vary among displays depending on the pyrotechnics launch site. Fireworks displays that are E:\FR\FM\09JYR1.SGM 09JYR1
