and rulemaking (consisting of an 

ANPRM: July 13, 2011, published at 76 

FR 41148 (July 13, 2011), NPRM 

published at 77 FR 58338 (Sept. 20,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To ensure 

its rules and industry guides remain 

relevant and are not unduly 

burdensome, the Commission reviews 

each on a ten-year schedule. Every year 

the Commission publishes its review 

schedule, with adjustments made in 

response to public input, changes in the 

marketplace, and resource demands. 

When the Commission reviews a rule 

or guide, it publishes a document in the 

Federal Register seeking public 

comment on the continuing need for the 

rule or guide, as well as the rule’s or 

guide’s costs and benefits to consumers 

and businesses. Based on this feedback, 

the Commission may modify or repeal 

the rule or guide to address public 

concerns, changed conditions, or to 

reduce undue regulatory burden. 

The Commission posts information 

about its review schedule on its 

website 1 to facilitate comment. This 

website contains an updated review 

schedule, a list of rules and guides 

previously eliminated in the regulatory 

review process, and the Commission’s 

regulatory review plan.

The Commission now terminates its 

review of the Care Labeling Rule, 16 

CFR part 423, which has been inactive 

since 2021. The Commission started this 

review on July 13, 2011, by publishing 

an advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking (‘‘ANPR’’) seeking comment 

on the economic impact of, and the 

continuing need for, the Rule; the 

benefits of the Rule to consumers; and 

any burdens it places on businesses.2

The Commission also sought comment 

on proposed amendments.3

In response to comments to the 

ANPR, the Commission published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking 

(‘‘NPRM’’) 4 in 2012, in which it 

proposed amending the Rule to: (1) 

permit manufacturers and importers to 

provide a care instruction for 

professional wetcleaning on labels if the 

garment can be professionally 

wetcleaned; (2) permit manufacturers 

and importers to use the symbol system 

set forth in either ASTM Standard 

D5489–07, ‘‘Standard Guide for Care 

Symbols for Care Instructions on Textile 

Products,’’ or ISO 3758:2005(E), 

‘‘Textiles—Care labelling code using 

symbols’’; (3) clarify what constitutes a 

reasonable basis for care instructions; 

and (4) update the definition of 

‘‘dryclean’’ to reflect then-current 

practices and technology.5

After analyzing the substantial record, 

including comments to the NPRM, in 

2020, the Commission published a 

supplemental notice of proposed 

rulemaking (‘‘SNPRM’’) 6 proposing to 

repeal the Rule. Specifically, the 

Commission stated that the record 

suggests the Rule may not be necessary 

to ensure manufacturers provide care 

instructions, may have failed to keep up 

with a dynamic marketplace, and may 

negatively affect the development of 

new technologies and disclosures.7

The Commission, however, received 

little support for repealing the Rule.8

Many commenters argued that if the 

Commission were to repeal the Rule, 

cost savings would motivate 

manufacturers to avoid providing care 

instructions. Additionally, numerous 

cleaners commented that care 

instructions were critical to enable 

cleaners to avoid damaging customers’ 

garments. Therefore, on July 21, 2021, 

the Commission published a statement 

that it determined not to finalize the 

proposed repeal.9 The Commission now 

terminates its review of that Rule. 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 41 through 58. 

By direction of the Commission.

Acting Secretary.

RIN 1625–AA08 

Special Local Regulation; Lake 

Havasu, Lake Havasu City, AZ 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a special local regulation 

for the 2023 Lake Havasu City Christmas 

Parade of Lights that will be held on the 

navigable waters of Lake Havasu, AZ. 

This action is necessary to provide for 

the safety of life on these navigable 

waters of Lake Havasu during a vessel 

parade. This rule would prohibit 

spectators from anchoring, blocking, 

loitering, or transiting through the event 

area unless authorized by the Captain of 

the Port San Diego or a designated 

representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 5 p.m. 

through 9 p.m. on December 9, 2023.

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 we 

must establish this special local 

regulation by December 9, 2023. The 

Coast Guard did not receive final details 

regarding the parade route until October 

18, 2023. As such, it is impracticable to 

publish an NPRM because we lack 

sufficient time to provide a reasonable 

comment period and then consider 

those comments before issuing the rule. 

This regulation is necessary to ensure 

the safety of life on the navigable waters 

of Lake Havasu during the marine 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 ensure the safety of life on the 

navigable waters of Lake Havasu during 

the marine event on December 9, 2023. 

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 San Diego 

(COTP) has determined that the large 

presence of vessels in Lake Havasu 

associated with the 2023 Lake Havasu 

City Christmas Parade of Lights on 

December 9, 2023, poses a potential 

safety concern. This rule is needed to 

protect persons, vessels, and the marine
