NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
On February 3, 2023, the Peoria Parks
District notified the Coast Guard that
from 9 to 10 p.m. on June 10, 2023, it
will be conducting an aerial drone
entertainment display launched
landside from Peoria Riverfront Park
and flown over the Illinois River north
of the Illinois River Bridge at MM 162.9.
In response, on April 20, 2023, the Coast
Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone;
Illinois River Mile Markers 163.3 to
162.7, Peoria, IL (88 FR 24375). There
we stated why we issued the NPRM and
invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to aerial drone
display. During the comment period
that ended April 30, 2023, we received
no comments.
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 the event takes place on June
10, 2023 and immediate action is
needed to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment from all
potential hazards associated with the
aerial drone display.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The
