This security zone will prohibit persons and vessels from entering or remaining within the security zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region or a designated representative.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 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 USSS United States Secret Service 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 Coast Guard was notified by the USSS of the visit without sufficient time to publish an NPRM. Delay in promulgating this rule would be impracticable because this security zone must be in by September 24, 2023, to protect these USSS protectees in the vicinity of Baltimore, MD. The presence of these USSS protectees creates unique safety and security concerns. PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 65321 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 above. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70051 and 70124. The Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region (COTP) has determined that the presence of persons under the protection of the USSS at this location presents a potential target for terrorist attack, sabotage, or other subversive acts, accidents, or other causes of similar nature. This rule is needed to protect persons under the protection of the USSS, personnel in and around the visit site, navigable waterways, and waterfront facilities. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a security zone from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. on September 24, 2023, on the Patapsco River, in the vicinity of Baltimore, MD. The security zone will cover all navigable waters of the Inner Harbor on the Patapsco River, encompassed by a line connecting the following points beginning at 39°16′56.60″ N, 076°36′26.17″ W, thence to 39°17′1.25″ N, 076°36′21.67″ W, located at Baltimore, MD. The duration of the zone is intended to protect persons under the protection of the USSS, personnel in and around the visit site, navigable waterways, and waterfront facilities. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the security zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative and must proceed as directed by on-scene enforcement vessels. Any vessel permitted to transit the zone will be required to continue through the zone without pause or delay as directed by on-scene enforcement vessels. 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.
