GENERAL LICENSE NO. 1C
VerDate Sep<11>2014
Andrea M. Gacki,
Director, Office of Foreign Assets Control.
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary, 500-yard
radius, moving security zone for a
certain vessel carrying Certain
Dangerous Cargoes (CDC) within the
Corpus Christi Ship Channel and La
Quinta Channel. The temporary security
zone is needed to protect the vessels,
the CDC cargo, and the surrounding
waterway. Entry of vessels or persons
into this zone is prohibited unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of
the Port Sector Corpus Christi or a
designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective December 2,
2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have questions on this rule, call or
email Lieutenant Commander Anthony
Garofalo, Sector Corpus Christi

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. We must establish this
security zones by December 2, 2022 to
ensure security of this vessel and lack
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 the public
interest because immediate action is
needed to provide for the security of the
vessel.
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 Sector Corpus
Christi (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the
transit of the Motor Vessel (M/V)
METHANE JANE ELIZABETH when
loaded will be a security concern within
a 500-yard radius of the vessel. This rule
is needed to provide for the safety and
security of the vessels, their cargo, and
surrounding waterway from terrorist
acts, sabotage or other subversive acts,
accidents, or other events of a similar
nature while they are transiting within
Corpus Christi, TX, from December 2,
2022 through December 5, 2022.
