Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Okeechobee Waterway, Stuart, FL 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Notification of temporary 

deviation from regulations; reopening of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is reopening 

the comment period to solicit additional 

comments concerning its notice of 

temporary deviation to the regulation 

governing the Florida East Coast (FEC) 

Railroad Bridge, across the Okeechobee 

Waterway (OWW), mile 7.41, at Stuart, 

FL. The expected increase in railway 

service was delayed and did not 

commence until late September 2023. 

Due to this delay, it was determined that 

we did not afford the public adequate 

opportunity to provide comments. We 

are reopening the comment period to 

allow the public more time to comment. 

The comment period is now open until 

November 30, 2023. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

temporary deviation published August 

11, 2023 (88 FR 54487) is reopened. 

Comments and relate material must 

reach the Coast Guard on or before 

November 30, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2022–0222 using Federal Decision 

Making Portal at https://

www.regulations.gov. 

See the ‘‘Public Participation and 

Request for Comments’’ portion of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section

you have questions on this temporary 

deviation, call, or email Ms. Jennifer

II. Background and Purpose 

On June 23, 2023, we published a 

temporary deviation entitled, 

‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Okeechobee Waterway, Stuart, FL’’ in 

the Federal Register (88 FR 37470). The 

original comment period closed on 

August 4, 2023. Based on the comments 

received and other concerns that were 

voiced by the public, we rescinded that 

test deviation, and published a new one. 

On August 11, 2023, we published 

second a temporary deviation entitled, 

‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Okeechobee Waterway, Stuart, FL’’ in 

the Federal Register (88 FR 54487). The 

second comment period closed on 

October 15, 2023. The temporary 

deviations are testing a more predictable 

operating schedule for the FEC Railroad 

Bridge and contains useful background 

and analysis related to the temporary 

deviation. The public is encouraged to 

review the temporary deviation. 

We originally set a 60-day comment 

period for the temporary deviation and 

determined reopening the comment 

period until the end of the temporary 

deviation is necessary due to the delay 

in the start of additional railway service. 

Additional railway service was delayed 

and did not commence until late 

September 2023. We feel the start of 

additional railway service so close to 

the end of the comment period did not 

afford the public adequate opportunity 

to provide comments. 

This notice to reopen the comment 

period ensures notice and opportunity 

to comment on the operation of the 

drawbridge before determining whether 

a permanent change to the schedule is 

needed. 

The comment period is now open 

through November 30, 2023. Any 

comments received in the period 

between when the initial comment 

period closed on October 15, 2023 and 

the reopening of the comment period on 

November 7, 2023 will also be 

considered. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of 33 U.S.C. 1223 and 5 U.S.C. 552. 

III. Public Participation and Request for 

Comments 

We view public participation as 

essential to determining the needs of the 

public and will consider all comments

comment period. Your comment can

RIN 1625–AA00 

Safety Zone; Atlantic Ocean, Virginia 

Beach, Virginia 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone for 

navigable waters within a 550-yard 

radius of the M/V HOS MYSTIQUE and 

accompanying machinery while the 

vessel is conducting a subsea survey for 

potential unexploded ordinance (pUXO) 

in the Atlantic Ocean within three 

nautical miles of the shores of the State 

Military Reservation, Virginia Beach. 

The safety zone is needed to protect 

personnel, vessels, and the marine 

environment from potential hazards 

created by the subsea survey operations. 

Entry of vessels or persons into this 

zone is prohibited unless specifically 

authorized by the Captain of the Port, 

Sector Virgina or designated 

representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective without 

actual notice from November 7, 2023 

through December 31, 2023. For the 

purposes of enforcement, actual notice 

will be used from November 1, 2023, 

until November 7, 2023.

TFR Temporary Final Rule 

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) 

because Coast Guard Sector Virginia 

was notified on October 25, 2023 that 

the M/V HOS MYSTIQUE will conduct 

survey operations using an ROV to 

identify pUXOs beginning November 1, 

2023 and a safety zone is necessary to 

protect the public from the safety 

hazards associated with any 

disturbances of pUXOs, as well as, the 

obstruction to navigation during the use 

of a tethered ROV. It is impracticable to 

publish an NPRM because we must 

establish this safety zone by November 

1, 2023, to protect the public. 

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 

because immediate action is needed to 

respond to the potential safety hazards 

associated with the survey operations 

utilizing ROVs in shallow water to 

identify pUXO. 

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 Virginia 

(COTP) has determined that potential 

hazards associated with the survey 

operations starting November 1, 2023, 

and continuing until late December, will 

be a safety concern for any persons or 

property within a 550-yard radius of the 

survey vessel. This rule is needed to 

protect personnel, vessels, and the 

marine environment in the navigable 

waters within the safety zone from 

potential hazards that arise from 

disturbing pUXOs and the use of 

tethered ROVs to identify them. 

IV. Discussion of the Rule 

This rule establishes a safety zone on 

November 1, 2023, through December 

31, 2023. The safety zone encompasses 

all waters inside a radius of 550 yards 

from the actual position of the M/V HOS 

MYSTIQUE. During survey operations, a
