NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
The salvaging of the crane boom will
occur at MM 165.5 beginning August 23,
2023. The safety zone is designed to
protect waterway users until work is
complete.
No vessel or person will be permitted
to enter the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or
a designated representative. A
designated representative is a
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer
of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) assigned
to units under the operational control of
USCG Sector Upper Mississippi River.
To seek permission to enter, contact the
COTP or a designated representative via
VHF–FM channel 16, or through USCG
Sector Upper Mississippi River at 314–
269–2332. Persons and vessels
permitted to enter the safety zone must
comply with all lawful orders or
directions issued by the COTP or
designated representative. The COTP or
a designated representative will inform
the public of the effective period for the
safety zone as well as any changes in the
dates and times of enforcement, as well
as reductions in the size of the safety
zone through Local Notice to Mariners
(LNMs), Broadcast Notices to Mariners
(BNMs), and/or Safety Marine
Information Broadcast (SMIB), as
appropriate.
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
[FR Doc. 2023–18359 Filed 8–25–23; 8:45 am]
SUMMARY:
I. Table of Abbreviations
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 a
temporary safety zone must be
established immediately to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards
created by a crane boom protruding into
the navigable channel and lack
sufficient time to provide a reasonable
comment period and then consider
those comments before issuing the rule.
It is impracticable to publish an NPRM
because we must establish this safety
zone by August 23, 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. 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 crane boom blocking
the navigable channel.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The
Captain of the Port Sector Upper
Mississippi River (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards
associated with a crane boom blocking
the navigable channel and the salvage
operation taking place to remove it will
be a safety concern for anyone operating
or transiting within the Illinois River at
MM 165.5. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone until the
crane boom has been removed from the
waterway.

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
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094
(Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, this rule has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination
is based on a safety zone located within
a half mile radius of a crane boom on
the Illinois River at MM 165.5, near
Peoria, IL. The safety zone is expected
to be active until the crane boom has
been salvaged and the channel cleared.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
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 because the zone will be
enforced only when work is being
conducted.
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
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,

effect on the States, on the relationship

Jkt 259001
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 encompassing the width of the
Illinois River at MM 165.5. It is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L60(d) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1.
G. Protest Activities
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Governments
VerDate Sep<11>2014
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.
Also, 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.
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.

Review, 76 FR 23821; and Executive
Order 14094 Modernizing Regulatory

The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has reviewed this rulemaking
and determined it is not ‘‘significant’’
under section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866. It is not significant because it
consists of administrative and minor
revisions, involves agency organization
and management, does not change
substantive requirements, and imposes
no costs on the public.
Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.)
This review requires an agency to
prepare an initial regulatory flexibility
analysis and publish it when the agency
publishes the proposed rule. This
requirement does not apply if the
agency certifies that the rulemaking will
not, if promulgated, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 603).
We certify, after review and analysis,
that this rulemaking will not have a
significant adverse economic impact on
small entities.

have any effects on state and local
governments within the meaning of the
Executive order. Therefore, no
federalism assessment is required.
Review Under the Unfunded Mandates

in state, local, and tribal governments,
in the aggregate, or the private sector,
expending $100 million in any one year.
NARA certifies that this rulemaking
does not contain a Federal mandate that
may result in such an expenditure, and
this rulemaking is therefore not subject
to this requirement.

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 a temporary safety zone must be
established immediately to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards created by a crane boom protruding
into the navigable channel and lack sufficient time to provide a
reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before
issuing the rule. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we

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 a crane boom
blocking the navigable channel.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River (COTP)
has determined that potential hazards associated with a crane boom
blocking the navigable channel and the salvage operation taking place
to remove it will be a safety concern for anyone operating or
transiting within the Illinois River at MM 165.5. This rule is needed
to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the
navigable waters within the safety zone until the crane boom has been
removed from the waterway.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
The salvaging of the crane boom will occur at MM 165.5 beginning
August 23, 2023. The safety zone is designed to protect waterway users
until work is complete.
No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. A designated representative is a commissioned, warrant,
or petty officer of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) assigned to units under
the operational control of USCG Sector Upper Mississippi River. To seek
permission to enter, contact the COTP or a designated representative
via VHF-FM channel 16, or through USCG Sector Upper Mississippi River
at 314-269-2332. Persons and vessels permitted to enter the safety zone
must comply with all lawful orders or directions issued by the COTP or
designated representative. The COTP or a designated representative will
inform the public of the effective period for the safety zone as well
as any changes in the dates and times of enforcement, as well as
reductions in the size of the safety zone through Local Notice to
Mariners (LNMs), Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNMs), and/or Safety
Marine Information Broadcast (SMIB), as appropriate.
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 section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as

[[Page 58501]]
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 because the zone will be enforced only when
work is being conducted.
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.
Also, 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.
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 encompassing the width of the Illinois River at MM 165.5.
It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(d)
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.
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.
