II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
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 under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) for not publishing a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule because it would be
impracticable to solicit and consider
comments in time to publish a final rule
to take effect in time for the event.
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 contrary to public
interest because immediate action is
needed to respond to the potential
safety hazards associated with a large
congregation of paddle racers.
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, Maryland-National
Capital Region (COTP) has determined
that the presence of nonparticipant
vessels within the safety zone shortly
before, during, and shortly after the
paddleboat race is occurring will be a
safety concern for participants and
nonparticipants alike. The purpose of
this rule is to ensure the safety of
participant and nonparticipant vessels
and the navigable waters in the safety
zone before, during, and after the
scheduled event.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. on September
15, 2024. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters of the Chesapeake Bay,
adjacent to the shoreline at Sandy Point
State Park and between and adjacent to
the spans of the William P. Lane Jr.
Memorial Bridges, from shoreline to
shoreline, bounded to the north by a
line drawn from the western shoreline
at latitude 39°01′05.23″ N, longitude
076°23′47.93″ W; thence eastward to
latitude 39°01′02.08″ N, longitude
076°22′40.24″ W; thence southeastward
to eastern shoreline at latitude
38°59′13.70″ N, longitude 076°19′58.40″
W; and bounded to the south by a line
drawn parallel and 500 yards south of
the south bridge span that originates
