zone is prohibited unless specifically 

authorized by the Captain of the Port, 

Sector Upper Mississippi River. 

DATES: For the purposes of enforcement, 

actual notice will be used from 

September 5, 2024, until September 9, 

2024. This rule is effective without 

actual notice from September 9, 2024 

through September 20, 2024.

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 under authority in 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory 

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.’’ The Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because of 

potential hazards created by the power 

line crossing over the Missouri River 

that need to be addressed. As such, the 

Coast Guard lacks sufficient time to 

provide a reasonable comment period 

and then consider those comments 

before issuing the rule. It is 

impracticable to publish an NPRM 

because we must establish this safety 

zone by September 5, 2024. 

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 power line crossing 

starting September 5, 2024. 

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 Upper 

Mississippi (COTP) has determined that 

potential hazards associated with the 

power line crossing starting September 

5, 2024, will be a safety concern for 

anyone operating in or transiting the 

Missouri River from or between MM 19– 

20. This rule is needed to protect 

personnel, vessels, and the marine 

environment in the navigable waters 

within the safety zone while the power 

line crossing is being conducted. 

IV. Discussion of the Rule 

This rule establishes a safety zone 

during a power line crossing project 

over the Missouri River on September 5, 

2024 through September 20, 2024. The 

safety zone will cover all navigable 

waters from MM 19–20. The duration of 

the zone is intended to protect 

personnel, vessels, and the marine 

environment in these navigable waters 

while the power line crosses the 

Missouri River. No vessel or person will 

be permitted to enter the safety zone 

without obtaining permission from the 

COTP or a designated representative via 

VHF–FM channel 16, or through USCG 

Sector Upper Mississippi River at 314– 

269–2332. 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, as well 

as reductions in the size of the safety 

zone as conditions improve, through 

Local Notice to Mariners (LNMs), 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNMs), 

and/or Safety Marine Information 

Broadcast (SMIB), 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 

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as 

amended by Executive Order 14094 

(Modernizing Regulatory Review). 

Accordingly, this rule has not been 

reviewed by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on a safety zone located on the 

Missouri River between MM 19–20 near 

Florissant, MO. The safety zone will be 

active only while work associated with 

the power line crossing is being

72988 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 174 / Monday, September 9, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

conducted, from September 5, 2024, 

until September 20, 2024. 

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 

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 safety 

zone encompassing the width of the 

Missouri River between MM 19 through 

20. 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.

Accordingly, this rule has not been

and Budget (OMB). 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on the size, location, and 

duration, of the safety zone. This safety 

zone will only restrict navigation for 

approximately two and a half hours near 

the opening of St. Louis Bay, 

approximately one mile south of the 

Hwy 90 Bridge in Bay St. Louis, MS, 

extending the entire width of the 

channel. Moreover, the Coast Guard will 

issue a Local Notice to Mariners (LNM) 

about the zone, and the rule allows 

vessels to seek permission to enter 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
