radius of the launch site located at the

persons into this zone is prohibited 

unless specifically authorized by the 

Captain of the Port Buffalo.

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 find that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to public interest.’’ On April 19, 2018, 

the Captain of the Port (COTP) Buffalo 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM), Docket Number 

USCG–2017–1112, to make temporary 

safety zones for annual events a final 

rule. This event was included in the 

NPRM. Its purpose was to mitigate 

potential threats to personnel, vessels, 

and the marine environment in the 

navigable waters within the specified 

safety zones. The NPRM addressed 

these concerns, and invited the public 

to comment during the comment period, 

which ended on May 21, 2018. As such, 

it is unnecessary to publish an NPRM 

for this temporary rule because the 

public had opportunity to comment on 

it and no comments were received 

concerning this 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 

would be contrary to the rule’s 

objectives of ensuring safety of life on 

the navigable waters and protection of 

persons and vessels in the vicinity of 

the fireworks display. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The 

Captain of the Port Buffalo (COTP) has 

determined that a fireworks display 

presents significant risks to the public 

safety and property. Such hazards 

include premature and accidental 

detonations, dangerous projectiles, and 

falling or burning debris. This rule is 

needed to protect personnel, vessels, 

and the marine environment in the 

navigable waters within the safety zone 

while the fireworks display takes place.
