[Docket Number USCG–2021–0435] 

RIN 1625–AA00

Closure, San Diego, CA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone 

covering the channel closure for the 

Northeast Shelter Island Channel 

Entrance. The safety zone is needed to 

protect personnel, vessels, and the 

marine environment from potential 

hazards created by the California 

Department of Fish and Wildlife 

(CDFW) Oil Spill Prevention and 

Response (OSPR) Sensitive Site Strategy 

Evaluation Program (SSSEP) boom 

deployment exercise. Entry of vessels or 

persons into this zone is prohibited 

unless specifically authorized by the 

Captain of the Port Sector San Diego. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 8:30 

a.m. until 10:30 a.m. on June 22, 2021.

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 NPRM 

would be impracticable. The Coast 

Guard did not receive the details of the 

Sensitive Site Strategy Evaluation 

Program boom deployment excersise 

with enough time to solicit and repond 

to public comments on an NPRM. As 

such, the channel closure on June 22, 

2021 would occur before an NPRM and 

final rule could be issued. 

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 the public 

interest, because action is necessary to 

protect personnel, vessels, and the 

marine environment from the dangers 

associated with the CDFW OSPR SSSEP 

boom deployment exercise on June 22, 

2021. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 

(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The 

Captain of the Port Sector San Diego 

(COTP) has determined that potential 

hazards associated with the CDFW 

OSPR SSSEP boom deployment exercise 

will be a safety concern to anyone
