Coast Guard 

33 CFR Part 165 

[Docket Number USCG–2024–0979] 

RIN 1625–AA00 

Safety Zone; Beaufort River, Beaufort, 

SC 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone for 

certain navigable waters of the Beaufort 

River in Beaufort, SC, for a barge-based 

fireworks display. The safety zone will 

encompass all waters within a 150-yard 

radius of the fireworks barge. The safety 

zone is needed to protect personnel, 

vessels, and the marine environment 

from potential hazards created by a 

fireworks display. Entry of vessels or 

persons into this zone is prohibited 

unless specifically authorized by the 

Captain of the Port, Sector Charleston. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 p.m. 

through 10 p.m. on December 31, 2024, 

or in the case of a weather issues, the 

rule is effective from 8 p.m. through 10 

p.m. on January 1, 2025.

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 the 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 it is 

impracticable. The Coast Guard was not 

informed of the need for a large-based 

fireworks display with sufficient time to 

go through the full notice and comment 

rulemaking process. Immediate action is 

needed to respond to the potential 

safety hazards associated with a largebased fireworks display, in Beaufort, SC. 

It is impracticable to publish an NPRM 

because we must establish this safety 

zone by December 31, 2024, or an 

alternate weather contingency date of 

January 1, 2025. 

Also, 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 necessary 

to protect personnel, vessels, and the 

marine environment from the potential 

safety hazards associated with the bargebased fireworks display located in the 

Beaufort River, in Beaufort, SC. 

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 Charleston 

(COTP) has determined that potential 

hazards associated with a barge-based 

fireworks display on December 31, 

2024, or on an alternate weather 

contingency date of January 1, 2025, 

will be a safety concern for anyone 

within a 150-yard radius of the 

fireworks barge. This rule is needed to 

ensure the safety of vessels and persons 

in the navigable waters before, during, 

and after a barge-based fireworks 

display. 

IV. Discussion of the Rule 

This rule establishes a safety zone 

from 8 p.m. through 10 p.m. on 

December 31, 2024, or on a weather 

contingency date of January 1, 2025, 

from 8 p.m. through 10 p.m. The safety 

zone will cover all navigable waters 

within 150 yards of the fireworks barge 

on the Beaufort River in Beaufort, SC. 

The duration of the zone is intended to 

ensure the safety of vessels and persons 

before, during, and after the fireworks 

display. No vessel or person will be 

permitted to enter the safety zone 

without obtaining permission from the 

COTP or a designated representative. 

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 the size, location, duration, 

and time-of-day of the safety zone 

Although the rule restricts access to a 

small, designated area of the Beaufort 

River encompassed by the safety zone, 

the effect of this rule will not be 

significant because the local waterways 

users will be notified to ensure the 

safety zone will result in minimal 

impact for the 2 hours in the evening 

when vessel traffic is normally low. 

Additionally, vessel traffic will be able 

to safely transit around the safety 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 

small entities during rulemaking. The 

term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small 

businesses, not-for-profit organizations
