SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register MM Mile marker NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § 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 (NPRM) with respect to this rule because it is impracticable. This action is necessary to publish an NPRM because the Coast Guard must establish this safety zone by August 28, 2022 and lacks sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before issuing the rule. 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 contrary to public interest in ensuring the safety of participants and vessels during the event because immediate action is necessary to prevent possible loss of life and property on August 28, 2022. Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM) and sharing information with the waterway users will update mariners of the restrictions, requirements and enforcement times during this event. PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 50253 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 Ohio Valley (COTP) has determined this action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters near Cincinnati, OH during the Great Ohio River Swim on August 28, 2022. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone from MM 469.6–470.2 from 6:30 a.m. through 9:30 a.m. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone from 6:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. on August 28, 2022. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters of the Ohio River extending from MM 469.6–470.2. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters before, during, and after the schedule event. 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 size, location, duration, and time of year of the temporary safety zone. The temporary safety zone will be in effect from 6:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. on August 28, 2022 on the Ohio River between MM 469.6–470.2. The Coast Guard expects minimum adverse impact to mariners from the temporary safety zone activation as the event has been advertised to the public. B. Impact on Small Entities The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, requires Federal agencies to consider E:\FR\FM\16AUR1.SGM 16AUR1
