AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters within the West Passage of Narragansett Bay on September 4, 2024. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with the air show. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:55 Aug 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I.

Background Information and Regulatory History On June 4, 2024, the Heritage Flight Foundation notified the Coast Guard that they would be conducting an air show from 6 p.m. through 7:30 p.m. on September 04, 2024. The air show will take place in the vicinity of the West Passage in Narragansett Bay, RI, near Fort Getty, Jamestown, RI. 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 publishing an NPRM would be doing so would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. We must establish the temporary safety zone by September 04, 2024, to ensure the safety of spectators and the general public from hazards associated with the air show. 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 and contrary to the public interest because prompt action is necessary to ensure the safety of spectators and the general public from hazards associated with the air show. E:\FR\FM\12AUR1.SGM 12AUR1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 155 / Monday, August 12, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 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 potential hazards associated with the air show occurring on September 04, 2024, will be a safety concern for anyone within the vicinity of the West Passage in Narragansett Bay, RI, near Fort Getty, Jamestown, RI. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone during the air show. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone from 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. on September 04, 2024. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters within the following latitude and longitude points, 41°29.755′ N, 071°24.658′ W; 41°29.807′ N, 071°24.225′ W; 41°28.831′ N, 071°24.019′ W; 41°28.780′ N, 071°24.452′ W. The duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable waters during the air show. 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. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES 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, location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. This rule involves a safety zone lasting approximately 1.5 hours and impacting a limited area of the West Passage of Narragansett Bay during an air show. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF– FM marine channel 16 about the safety VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:55 Aug 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 zone and the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the area. 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. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 65541 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 lasting only 1.5 hours that will prohibit entry into a portion of the West Passage of Narragansett Bay. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters within the following latitude and longitude points, 41°29.755′ N, 071°24.658′ W; 41°29.807′ N, 071°24.225′ W; 41°28.831′ N, 071°24.019′ W; 41°28.780′ N, 071°24.452′ W. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01– 001–01, Rev. 1.

RIN 1625-AA00


Safety Zone; West Passage, Narragansett Bay, Jamestown, RI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for 
navigable waters within the West Passage of Narragansett Bay on 
September 4, 2024. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, 
vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated 
with the air show. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is 
prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, 
Sector Southeastern New England.

DATES: This rule is effective from 6 p.m. on September 04, 2024, 
through 7:30 p.m. on September 05, 2024. The rule will only be subject 
to enforcement from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on September 04, 2024, unless 
the event time is changed because of weather conditions in which case 
it may be subject to enforcement those same hours on September 05, 
2024.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On June 4, 2024, the Heritage Flight Foundation notified the Coast 
Guard that they would be conducting an air show from 6 p.m. through 
7:30 p.m. on September 04, 2024. The air show will take place in the 
vicinity of the West Passage in Narragansett Bay, RI, near Fort Getty, 
Jamestown, RI.
    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 publishing an NPRM 
would be doing so would be impracticable and contrary to the public 
interest. We must establish the temporary safety zone by September 04, 
2024, to ensure the safety of spectators and the general public from 
hazards associated with the air show.
    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 and contrary to the public interest 
because prompt action is necessary to ensure the safety of spectators 
and the general public from hazards associated with the air show.

[[Page 65541]]

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 potential hazards associated with the air show 
occurring on September 04, 2024, will be a safety concern for anyone 
within the vicinity of the West Passage in Narragansett Bay, RI, near 
Fort Getty, Jamestown, RI. This rule is needed to protect personnel, 
vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the 
safety zone during the air show.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. on 
September 04, 2024. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters 
within the following latitude and longitude points, 41[deg]29.755' N, 
071[deg]24.658' W; 41[deg]29.807' N, 071[deg]24.225' W; 41[deg]28.831' 
N, 071[deg]24.019' W; 41[deg]28.780' N, 071[deg]24.452' W. The duration 
of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine 
environment in these navigable waters during the air show. 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, 
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. This rule 
involves a safety zone lasting approximately 1.5 hours and impacting a 
limited area of the West Passage of Narragansett Bay during an air 
show. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the safety zone and the 
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the area.

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.
    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 lasting only 1.5 hours that will prohibit entry into a 
portion of the West Passage of Narragansett Bay. The safety zone will 
cover all navigable waters within the following latitude and longitude 
points, 41[deg]29.755' N, 071[deg]24.658' W; 41[deg]29.807' N, 
071[deg]24.225' W; 41[deg]28.831' N, 071[deg]24.019' W; 41[deg]28.780' 
N, 071[deg]24.452' W. It is categorically excluded from further review 
under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual
