Menominee, MI
Coast Guard, DHS.
Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters of the Menominee
River in Marinette, WI and Menominee,
MI between the Highway 41 bridge and
Ogden Street Bridge. The safety zone is
needed to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment from
potential hazards created by the
launching of a vessel at the Fincantieri
Marinette Marine Shipyard. Entry of
vessels or persons into this zone is
prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Lake Michigan or a designated
representative.
SUMMARY:
This rule is effective from 7:30
a.m. through 12 p.m. on October 31,
2020.

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 the
involved parties did not submit notice
to the Coast Guard with sufficient time
remaining before the launch to publish
an NPRM. Immediate action is
necessary to mitigate potential safety
hazards associated with the launch of
the vessel. Delaying the effective date of
this rule to wait for a comment period
to run would be impracticable and
contrary to public interest by inhibiting
the Coast Guard’s ability to protect
against the hazards associated with the
launch on October 31, 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. For the same reasons
discussed in the preceding paragraph,
waiting for a 30-day notice period to
elapse would be impracticable because
immediate action is needed to respond
to the potential safety hazards
associated with the launching of a
vessel into the Menominee River.
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 (COTP) Lake
Michigan has determined that potential
hazards associated with the launching
of this vessel into the Menominee River
on October 31, 2020, will be a safety
concern for anyone on the Menominee
River between the Highway 41 Bridge
located at coordinates 45.103106° N,
087.626529° W and the Ogden Street
Bridge located at coordinates
45.096001° N, 087.598053° W. This rule
is needed to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment in the
navigable waters within the safety zone
during the launching of a vessel on
October 31, 2020.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on October 31,
E:\FR\FM\28OCR1.SGM
28OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 209 / Wednesday, October 28, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
2020. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters of the Menominee
River between the Highway 41 Bridge
located at coordinates 45.103106° N,
087.626529° W and the Ogden Street
Bridge located at coordinates
45.096001° N, 087.598053° W. The
duration of the zone is intended to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in these navigable
waters during the launching of a vessel.
No vessel or person will be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP Lake
Michigan or a designated representative.
The COTP Lake Michigan or designated
representative will announce specific
enforcement periods for this safety zone
by Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

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 characteristics of the
safety zone. The safety zone created by
this rule will be relatively small and is
designed to minimize its impact on
navigable waters. This rule will prohibit
entry into certain navigable waters of
the Menominee River at Menominee, MI
and Marinette, WI and is not anticipated
to exceed five hours in duration. Thus,
restrictions on acces by persons and
vessel movement within that particular
area are expected to be minimal. Under
certain conditions, moreover, persons
and vessels may still transit through the
safety zone when permitted by the
COTP Lake Michigan.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:55 Oct 27, 2020
Jkt 253001
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 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 call or email 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
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
68253
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.
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, Rev. 1, associated
implementing instructions, 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 less than 5 hours that
prohibits entry within all navigable
waters of the Menominee River between
the Highway 41 Bridge and the Ogden
Street Bridge during the launching of a
vessel. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a)
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01,
Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket.

preamble.

Amendment rights of protesters.

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.
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, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
