(m) In cases in which ODNI requires advance payment, the request will not be considered received and further work will not be completed until the required payment is received. If the requester does not pay the advance payment within 30 calendar days after the date of ODNI’s fee determination, the request will be closed. (1) Upon completion of all required review and the receipt of accrued fees (or promise to pay fees), ODNI will promptly inform the requester in writing of those records or portions of records that will be released and those that will be denied. (2) For records to be released, ODNI will provide paper copies or records on electronic media, if requested and available. (3) For records not released or partially released, ODNI shall explain the reasons for any denial and give notice of a right of administrative appeal. For partial releases, redactions will be applied to ensure requesters can see the placement and general length of withholdings with the applicable exemption(s) clearly with respect to each withholding. (n) Fee waiver requests and appeals. Upon written request, ODNI may waive or reduce fees that are otherwise chargeable under this part. If a fee waiver or reduction in fees is requested, the requester must demonstrate that a waiver or reduction in fees is in the public interest because disclosure of the requested records is likely to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the requester’s commercial interest. After processing, actual fees must exceed $25.00 for ODNI to require payment of fees. Appeals should be resolved prior to the initiation of processing and the incurring of costs. However, fee waiver requests will be accepted at any time prior to ODNI’s decision regarding the request, except when processing has been initiated. (o) If the ODNI has determined that unusual circumstances, as defined by the FOIA, apply and more than 5,000 pages are necessary to respond to the request, the ODNI may charge search fees, or, in the case of requesters described in paragraph (h) of this VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:04 Jul 27, 2023 Jkt 259001 section, may charge duplication fees, if the following steps are taken. (1) The ODNI must have provided timely written notice of unusual circumstances to the requester in accordance with the FOIA and ODNI must have discussed with the requester via written mail, email, or telephone (or made not less than three good-faith attempts to do so) how the requester could effectively limit the scope of the request in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(B)(ii). (2) If this exception is satisfied, the ODNI may charge all applicable fees incurred in the processing of the request. § 1700.10 Other rights and services. Nothing in this part shall be construed so as to enlarge, diminish, modify, or alter the powers or authority of the ODNI; or construed to entitle any person, as of right, to any service or to the disclosure of any record to which such person is not entitled under the FOIA.

This action is being taken to ensure the security of the vessels from sabotage or other subversive acts during this event. Our regulation for marine events within the Thirteenth Coast Guard District, § 165.1333, specifies the location of the regulated area in the Puget Sound around the participating vessels designated in this notice. During the enforcement period, as reflected in § 165.1333, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the security zones without the permission of the COTP or a designated representative. The COTP may be assisted by other federal, state or local agencies with the enforcement of the security zones.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register 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. PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the security 
zones for Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week Moving Vessels in 33 CFR 
165.1333 for the regulated areas in the Elliott Bay from 11:30 a.m. on 
August 1, 2023, through 5 p.m. on August 7, 2023. This action is being 
taken to ensure the security of the vessels from sabotage or other 
subversive acts during this event. Our regulation for marine events 
within the Thirteenth Coast Guard District, Sec.  165.1333, specifies 
the location of the regulated area in the Puget Sound around the 
participating vessels designated in this notice.
    During the enforcement period, as reflected in Sec.  165.1333, no 
person or vessel may enter or remain in the security zones without the 
permission of the COTP or a designated representative. The COTP may be 
assisted by other federal, state or local agencies with the enforcement 
of the security zones. For 2023, the following areas are Sec.  165.1333 
security zones: all navigable waters within 500 yards of USS JOHN S. 
McCAIN (CG-56), USCGC HENRY BLAKE (WLM-563), USCGC ROBERT WARD (WPC-
1130), USCGC WAHOO (WPB-87345), HMCS YELLOWKNIFE (MM-706), HMCS 
EDMONTON (MM-703), HMCS NANAIMO (MM-702), while each such vessel is in 
the Sector Puget Sound COTP Zone.
    The COTP has granted general permission for vessels to enter the 
outer 400 yards of the security zones as long as those vessels within 
the outer 400 yards of the security zones operate at the minimum speed 
necessary to maintain course unless required to maintain speed by the 
navigation rules. All vessel operators who desire to enter the inner 
100 yards of the security zones or transit the outer 400 yards at 
greater

[[Page 48732]]

than minimum speed necessary to maintain course must obtain permission 
from the COTP or a designated representative by contacting the on-scene 
patrol craft on VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16. Requests must include the reason 
why movement within this area is necessary. Vessel operators granted 
permission to enter the security zones will be escorted by the on-scene 
patrol craft until they are outside of the security zones.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with advanced 
notification of the security zones via the Local Notice to Mariners and 
marine information broadcasts before the start of the event. In the 
event that there are changes to the participating vessels, due to 
operational requirements, the Coast Guard will provide actual notice 
for any additional designated participating vessels not covered in this 
notice.
    Members of the public may contact Sector Puget Sound COTP at 206-
217-6002 for an up-to-date list of designated participating vessels.
    If the COTP determines that the security zones need not be enforced 
for the full duration stated in this notice of enforcement, a Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to enter all 
portions of the regulated areas.
