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 the
event sponsor notified the Coast Guard
with insufficient time to publish an
NPRM and immediate action is
necessary to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment on Lake St.
Clair. It is impracticable and contrary to
the public interest to publish a NPRM
because we must establish this safety
zone by August 5, 2023.
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
associated with a fireworks display.

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 Detroit (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards
associated with fireworks displays will
be a safety concern for anyone within a
200-yard radius of the launch site. The
likely combination of recreational
vessels, darkness punctuated by bright
flashes of light, and fireworks debris
falling into the water presents risks of
collisions which could result in serious
injuries or fatalities. This rule is
necessary to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment in the
navigable waters within the safety zone
during the fireworks display.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 9 p.m. through 10:30 p.m. on
August 5, 2023. The safety zone will
encompass all U.S. navigable waters of
Lake St. Clair within a 200-yard radius
of the fireworks launch site located
42°22.629′ N, 082°54.929′ W, near
Grosse Point Park, MI. The duration of
the zone is intended to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters
during the fireworks display. Entry into,
transiting, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Detroit or his designated representative.
The Captain of the Port Detroit or his
designated representative may be
contacted via VHF Channel 16.
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, and
duration of the safety zone. Vessel
traffic will be able to safely transit
around this safety zone which would
impact a small, designated area of Lake
E:\FR\FM\28JYR1.SGM
28JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 144 / Friday, July 28, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
St. Clair one hours during the evening
when vessel traffic is normally low.
Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue
a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
VHF–FM Marine Channel 16 about the
zone, and the rule would allow vessels
to seek permission to enter the zone.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
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 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.
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please call or email the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.
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. 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.
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. If you
believe this rule has implications for
federalism or Indian tribes, please
contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. 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 a safety
zone lasting approximately 1 hour that
will prohibit entry within 200-yard
radius of where the fireworks display
will be conducted. It is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph L[60] of Appendix A, Table 1

ACTION:
‘‘Search.’’ Next, in the Document Type

Material.’’
On March 6, 2023, the Henderson
Business and Community Council
notified the Coast Guard that it will be
conducting a fireworks display from
9:30 through 10 p.m. on July 29, 2023,
For the Christmas in July Celebration.
The fireworks are to be launched from
a barge in Henderson Bay approximately
1500 yards north of the town boat ramp
located on the southern shore of
Henderson Harbor in Henderson Harbor,
NY. Hazards from firework displays
include accidental discharge of
fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and
falling hot embers or other debris. The
Captain of the Port Buffalo (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards
associated with the fireworks to be used
in this display would be a safety
concern for anyone within a 140-yard
radius of the barge. In response, on June
21, 2023, the Coast Guard published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
titled Safety Zone; Henderson Bay,
Henderson Harbor, NY (88 FR 40134).
There we stated why we issued the
NPRM, and invited comments on our
proposed regulatory action related to
this fireworks display. During the
comment period that ended July 21,
2023, we received one comment that
was in support of 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 impracticable
because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with the fireworks display.

determined that potential hazards
associated with the fireworks to be used
in this July 29, 2023 display will be a

this rule is to ensure safety of vessels
and the navigable waters in the safety
zone before, during, and after the
scheduled event.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received one
comment in support of our NPRM
published June 21, 2023. There are no
changes in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the
NPRM.
This rule establishes a safety zone that
will be enforced from 9 p.m. through
10:30 p.m. on July 29, 2023. The safety
zone will cover all navigable waters
within 140 yards of a barge in
Henderson Harbor located
approximately 1500-yards north of the
town boat ramp located on the southern
shore of Henderson Harbor in
Henderson Harbor, NY. The duration of
the zone is intended to ensure the safety
of vessels and these navigable waters

display. No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the

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 the event sponsor notified the Coast
Guard with insufficient time to publish an NPRM and immediate action is
necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment on
Lake St. Clair. It is impracticable and contrary to the public interest
to publish a NPRM because we must establish this safety zone by August
5, 2023.
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 associated with a fireworks display.
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 Detroit
(COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with fireworks
displays will be a safety concern for anyone within a 200-yard radius
of the launch site. The likely combination of recreational vessels,
darkness punctuated by bright flashes of light, and fireworks debris
falling into the water presents risks of collisions which could result
in serious injuries or fatalities. This rule is necessary to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone during the fireworks display.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone from 9 p.m. through 10:30 p.m.
on August 5, 2023. The safety zone will encompass all U.S. navigable
waters of Lake St. Clair within a 200-yard radius of the fireworks
launch site located 42[deg]22.629' N, 082[deg]54.929' W, near Grosse
Point Park, MI. The duration of the zone is intended to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable
waters during the fireworks display. Entry into, transiting, or
anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Detroit or his designated representative. The
Captain of the Port Detroit or his designated representative may be
contacted via VHF Channel 16.
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, and duration of the safety zone. Vessel traffic will be able
to safely transit around this safety zone which would impact a small,
designated area of Lake
[[Page 48733]]
St. Clair one hours during the evening when vessel traffic is normally
low. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners via VHF-FM Marine Channel 16 about the zone, and the rule
would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.
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 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.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
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. 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.
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. If you believe this
rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact
the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
F. 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 a
safety zone lasting approximately 1 hour that will prohibit entry
within 200-yard radius of where the fireworks display will be
conducted. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph L[60] of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-
01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting
this determination is available in the docket. For instructions on
locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
