The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain waters of the East Passage,
Narragansett Bay, RI. This action is
necessary to provide for the safety of life
on these navigable waters near East
Passage, Narragansett Bay, RI, during a
sailboat race. Entry of vessels or persons
into this zone is prohibited unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of
the Port Sector Southeastern New
England or a designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from 10:30
a.m. on June 21, 2024, through 6:30 p.m.
on June 22, 2024. The rule will only be
subject to enforcement from 10:30 a.m.
to 6:30 p.m. on June 21, 2024, unless the
event time is changed because of
weather conditions in which case it may
be subject to enforcement those same
hours on June 22, 2024.

U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
On January 31, 2024, an organization
notified the Coast Guard that it will be
conducting a sailboat race from 10:30
VerDate Sep<11>2014

a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on June 21, 2024, with
a rain date of June 22, 2024. The sailboat
race will launch from the East Passage
in Narragansett Bay south of Rose
Island.
After determining that establishment
of a safety zone was necessary to
provide for the safety of life, property,
and the environment during the sailboat
race, on April 2, 2024, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled ‘‘Safety Zone;
Narragansett Bay, Newport, RI’’ 89 FR
22645. There we explained why we
issued the NPRM and invited comments
on our proposed regulatory action
related to this sailboat race. During the
comment period that ended May 2,
2024, we received two 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. The comment period for the
NPRM associated with the sailboat race
ended on May 2, 2024, and the race is
scheduled to begin June 22, 2024. Thus,
there is insufficient time to allow for 30
days before the rule becomes effective.
Delaying the effective date of this rule
would be impracticable because prompt
action is needed to respond to the
potential safety risks associated with the
sailboat race.
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 Southeastern
New England (COTP) has determined
that there are potential hazards
associated with the sailboat race on June
21, 2024. The purpose of 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 two
comments on our NPRM published
April 2, 2024. The comments did not
pertain to the proposed rule. One
comment was unrelated to our rule,
referring to wind farms, while the other
was an incomplete comment. There is
one editorial change to the regulatory
text of this rule from the proposed rule
in the NPRM. Specifically, we corrected
‘‘security zones’’ to ‘‘safety zones’’.
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on June 21,
2024, with a rain date of June 22, 2024.
The safety zone covers one of three
possible locations depending on the
weather. Safety Zone ‘‘A’’ will cover all
navigable waters from an area just south
of Rose Island near Fort Adams. Safety
