III. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary interim rule with an abridged
opportunity to comment out prior
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 doing
so would be impracticable. The final
details of the specific dates, vessels
names, and safety zone distances
concerning the safety zones were not
finalized within a sufficient time to
allow for notice and a subsequent 30day comment period before work,
inspection, surveying and the
replacement and the removal of
multiple cables. Delaying this rule to
allow for a notice and comment period
would be impracticable because it
would inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability
to protect the public from the potential
hazards associated with aforementioned
operation commencing on June 1, 2021.
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,
delaying the effective date of this rule
would be impracticable because
immediate action is needed to respond
to the potential safety hazards
