SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing 

to establish a temporary safety zone for 

the Ohio River from October 2 through 

October 5, 2023, at mile marker 79.5 to 

mile marker 80 from 8 a.m. through 7 

p.m. each day. This action is necessary 

to provide for the safety of life on the 

navigable waters during a helicopter 

operation. This rule prohibits persons 

and vessels from being in the safety 

zone unless authorized by the Captain 

of the Port Pittsburgh (COTP) or a 

designated representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 a.m. 

on October 2, 2023, through 7 p.m. on 

October 5, 2023. This rule will be 

enforced from 8 a.m. through 7 p.m. 

each day of its effective period.

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 

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 it is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. This safety zone must be 

established by October 2, 2023, to 

provide for the safety of life on the 

navigable waters during a helicopter 

operation, and we lack sufficient time to 

provide a reasonable comment period 

and then consider those comments 

before issuing this rule. The NPRM 

process would delay the establishment 

of the safety zone until after the date of 

the helicopter operation. Vessels inside 

of the safety zone have the potential of 

getting hit by derby from the helicopter. 

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 

action is needed by October 2, 2023, to 

ensure the safety of the of life on the 

navigable waters during a helicopter 

operation. 

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 Pittsburgh (COTP) 

has determined that potential hazards 

associated with a helicopter operation 

on October 2 through October 5, 2023, 

will be a safety concern for anyone on 

the Ohio River from mile markers 79.5 

to mile marker 80 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

daily. The purpose of this rule is to 

ensure safety of the participant, 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 temporary 

safety zone that will be enforced each 

day from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. on October 

2 through October 5, 2023. The safety 

zone will cover all navigable waters on 

the Ohio River from mile markers 79.5 

to mile marker 80. The duration of the 

zone is intended to protect personnel, 

vessels, and the marine environment in 

the navigable waters during an 

installation of aerial transverse 

wirelines using a helicopter. 

No vessel or person is permitted to 

enter the safety zone without obtaining 

permission from the COTP or a 

designated representative of the COTP. 

A designated representative is a 

commissioned, warrant, or petty officer 

of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) assigned 

to units under the operational control of 

the COTP. To seek permission to enter, 

contact the COTP or a designated 

representative via VHF–FM channel 16, 

or through Marine Safety Unit 

Pittsburgh at 412–221–0807. Persons 

and vessels permitted to enter the safety 

zone must comply with all lawful orders 

or directions issued by the COTP or 

designated representative. The COTP or 

a designated representative will inform 

the public of the effective period for the 

safety zone as well as any changes in the 

dates and times of enforcement through 

Local Notice to Mariners (LNMs), 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNMs), 

and/or Marine Safety Information 

Bulletins (MSIBs), as appropriate. 

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 

Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, 

this rule has not been reviewed by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on size, location, and duration 

of the temporary safety zone. This safety 

zone only impacts a 0.5-mile stretch on 

the Ohio River for 11 hours each day 

from October 2 through October 5, 2023. 

Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue 

Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast 

Notice to Mariners via VHF–FM marine 

channel 16 about the zone and the rule 

allows vessels to seek permission from 

the COTP to transit the zone. 

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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 188 / Friday, September 29, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 67091 

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 

temporary safety zone lasting 11 hours 

each day from October 2 through 

October 5, 2023, on the Ohio River. 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. A 

Record of Environmental Consideration 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket. For instructions 

on locating the docket, see the 

ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places, or vessels.
