Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for a portion of the Elizabeth River while the M/V DALI is moored in the Port of Virginia. This action is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by the heavily damaged M/V Dali while it offloads cargo in Norfolk, VA. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Virginia. DATES: This rule is effective from June 21, 2024, through September 20, 2024. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from June 21, 2024 until June 25, 2024.

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 On March 26, 2024, the M/V Dali lost propulsion and allided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the Chesapeake Bay, near the Port of Baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse upon it. See 89 FR 24385 (April 8, 2024) for additional details about the allision. More recently, the Maryland Pilots Association, LLC has notified the Coast Guard that the M/ V Dali will be transiting from the Port of Baltimore to Norfolk, VA. for repairs. It is anticipated that the vessel will arrive in Virginia waters around June 20, 2024, and that it will reach Norfolk on or about June 21, 2024, but these dates are subject to change. Given the severe damage to the vessel from the allision a 100-yard safety zone will be necessary while the vessel is moored at the Port of Virginia, in the Elizabeth River. The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule under authority in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory 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.’’ The Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable and contrary to public interest. There is insufficient time to provide notice of a proposed rule, take and consider comments, and publish a final rule before June 21, when the rule must be in effect to provide for safety in the navigable waters around the M/V Dali as it is moored in the waters subject to this safety zone in Norfolk, Virginia. Also, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 53027 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be impracticable because prompt action is needed to respond to the dangers associated with the cargo operations on the M/V DALI and the overall damage to the vessel. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The COTP, Sector Virginia has determined that potential hazards associated with the M/V DALI will be a safety concern for anyone within a 100-yard radius of the vessel due to the damage sustained during the previous allision. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone while the M/V DALI is moored in the waters within the Port of Virginia. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone from June 20, 2024, to September 20, 2024. The safety zone will cover a portion of the Elizabeth River within 100 yards of the M/V DALI while it is moored in Norfolk, VA. The dates of the safety zone were chosen to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters of the Sector Virginia, COTP Zone while the vessel is moored at the Port of Virginia. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative. 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 the size and location of the safety zone. Vessel traffic will be able to safely transit around this safety zone while the vessel is moored at the Port E:\FR\FM\25JNR1.SGM 25JNR1
