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.

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. The event already has
established dates in 33 CFR 165.943
Table 1, and typically takes place in
mid-June. However, this year the event
will take place in September. The
impact of organizer budgeting
constraints in June, 2021 prevented the
event from occurring within the
timeframe published in the Federal
Register. Thus, the Safety Zone must be
published as a Temporary Final Rule
this year because a Notice of
Enforcement cannot be used to enforce
a rule this far outside of the dates
approved in the Federal Registrar. We
must establish this safety zone by
September 4, 2021 in order to protect
the public from the hazards associated
with a fireworks event.
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
respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with a triggering event from
the Bridgefest Regatta Fireworks.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034,
70051; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6,
and 160.5; Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 00170.1,
Revision No. 01.2. The Captain of the
Port Duluth (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with a
firework triggering event on September
4, 2021, will be a safety concern for
anyone within a 1120 foot radius of the
launch site. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone while the
event occurs.

IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 9:15 p.m. through 9:45 p.m. on
September 4, 2021. All waters of the
Keweenaw Waterway in Hancock, MI
within the arc of a circle with a radius
of no more than 1,120 feet from the
launch site at position 47°07′22″ N,
088°35′28″ W. No vessel or person will
be permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the
COTP or a designated representative.
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.
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).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the fact that there is little
commercial traffic on the Portage Canal
and the size of the area being enforced
is small enough to allow vessels to
transit safely but must be aware of their
surroundings. Coast Guard can be
contacted VHF Channel 16 for any
discrepencies or hazards found during
the event.
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 near 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.

C. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new

D. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under

Guard in complying with the National

waters of the Keweenaw Waterway in
Hancock, MI within the arc of a circle
with a radius of no more than 1,120 feet
from the launch site at position
47°07′22″ N, 088°35′28″ W. There is no
fauna, flora, or ecosystem of concern
that is in the vicinity of the display that
will be catastrophically effected during
a 30 minute firework show. It is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L[60(a)] of

with respect to this rule because the
party conducting the work notified the
Coast Guard with insufficient time to
accommodate the comment period. It is
impracticable to publish an NPRM
because we must establish this safety

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for

IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone on
August 23, 2021 through August 27,

Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.
until 5 p.m. The safety zone will cover
all navigable waters from surface to
bottom, below the old Michael V.
DiSalle Memorial (I–75) Bridge located
at 41°37′31.2″ N 83°32′31.1″ W. A
marked 100 foot wide channel will be
provided for vessels to pass through the
demolition area. The duration of the
zone is intended to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in
these navigable waters while the bridge
is being demolished. No vessel or
person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
designated representative.
V. Regulatory Analyses

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. The event
already has established dates in 33 CFR 165.943 Table 1, and typically
takes place in mid-June. However, this year the event will take place
in September. The impact of organizer budgeting constraints in June,
2021 prevented the event from occurring within the timeframe published
in the Federal Register. Thus, the Safety Zone must be published as a
Temporary Final Rule this year because a Notice of Enforcement cannot
be used to enforce a rule this far outside of the dates approved in the
Federal Registrar. We must establish this safety zone by September 4,
2021 in order to protect the public from the hazards associated with a
fireworks event.
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
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with a triggering
event from the Bridgefest Regatta Fireworks.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034, 70051; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No. 00170.1, Revision No. 01.2. The
Captain of the Port Duluth (COTP) has determined that potential hazards
associated with a firework triggering event on September 4, 2021, will
be a safety concern for anyone within a 1120 foot radius of the launch
site. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone while the
event occurs.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone from 9:15 p.m. through 9:45
p.m. on September 4, 2021. All waters of the Keweenaw Waterway in
Hancock, MI within the arc of a circle with a radius of no more than
1,120 feet from the launch site at position 47[deg]07'22'' N,
088[deg]35'28'' W. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses

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. 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).
This regulatory action determination is based on the fact that
there is little commercial traffic on the Portage Canal and the size of
the area being enforced is small enough to allow vessels to transit
safely but must be aware of their surroundings. Coast Guard can be
contacted VHF Channel 16 for any discrepencies or hazards found during
the event.
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 near
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.
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. 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 all
waters of the Keweenaw Waterway in Hancock, MI within the arc of a
circle with a radius of no more than 1,120 feet from the launch site at
position 47[deg]07'22'' N, 088[deg]35'28'' W. There is no fauna, flora,
or ecosystem of concern that is in the vicinity of the display that
will be catastrophically effected during a 30 minute firework show. It
is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L[60(a)]
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.
