NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

On April 9, 2018, Kathleen Wilson 

notified the Coast Guard that she will be 

sponsoring the Swim Around 

Charleston on September 16, 2018 

which will impact waters of the Wando 

River, Cooper River, Charleston Harbor, 

and Ashley River, in Charleston, South 

Carolina. In response, on June 26, 2018, 

the Coast Guard published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled 

Safety Zone, Swim Around Charleston; 

Charleston, SC (83 FR 29719). There we 

stated why we issued the NPRM, and 

invited comments on our proposed 

regulatory action related to this event. 

During the comment period that ended 

July 26, 2018, we received one 

comment. 

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 event. 

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 (COTP) Charleston 

has determined that potential hazards 

associated with the large number of 

participants and spectators during the 

swim will be a safety concern. The 

purpose of the rule is to ensure the 

safety of participants, spectators, the 

general public, vessels and the 

navigable waters in the safety zone 

before, during and after the scheduled 

event.
