The Coast Guard is establishing temporary safety zones in the navigable waters of the San Francisco Bay near Aquatic Park in support of the San Francisco Waterfront Celebration on July 4, 2019. These safety zones are necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from the dangers associated with pyrotechnics. Unauthorized persons or vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or remaining in the safety zones without permission of the Captain of the Port or a designated representative. This rule is effective from 9 a.m. on July 3, 2019 to 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 2019.

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. Since the Coast Guard received notice of this event on April 24, 2019, notice and comment procedures would be impracticable in this instance. 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. For similar reasons as stated above, notice and comment procedures would be impractical in this instance due to the short notice provided for this event. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with the San Francisco Waterfront Celebration Fireworks Display on July 4, 2019, will be a safety concern for anyone within a 100-foot radius of the fireworks barges during loading, staging, and transit, and anyone within a 700-foot radius of the fireworks barges starting 30 minutes before the fireworks display is scheduled to commence and ending 30 minutes after the conclusion of the fireworks display. For this reason, safety zones are needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters around the fireworks barges during the fireworks display. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes safety zones from 9 a.m. on July 3, 2019 until 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 2019 during the loading, staging, and transit of the four fireworks barges, until approximately 30 minutes after completion of the fireworks display. From 9 a.m. on July 3, 2019 to 9 p.m. on July 4, 2019, during the loading, staging, and transit of the fireworks barges until 30 minutes prior to the start of the fireworks display, the E:\FR\FM\28JNR1.SGM 28JNR1 30910 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 125 / Friday, June 28, 2019 / Rules and Regulations safety zones will encompass the navigable waters around and under the four fireworks barges, from surface to bottom, within a circle formed by connecting all points 100 feet out from each of the fireworks barges. Loading the pyrotechnics onto the fireworks barges is scheduled from 9 a.m. on July 3, 2019 to 7:30 p.m. on July 4, 2019, at Pier 50 in San Francisco, CA. From 7:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. on July 4, 2019, the fireworks barges will be towed from Pier 50 to the two display locations, where they will remain until the conclusion of the fireworks display. At 9 p.m. on July 4, 2019, 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the 30minute San Francisco Waterfront Celebration Fireworks Display, the safety zones will increase in size and encompass the navigable waters around and under the fireworks barges, from surface to bottom, within the circles formed by connecting all points 700 feet from the circle centers at approximate positions 37°48′49″ N, 122°24′46″ W (NAD 83) and 37°48′45″ N, 122°25′39″ W (NAD 83). The safety zones will terminate at 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 2019. The effect of the safety zones is to restrict navigation in the vicinity of the fireworks loading, staging, transit, and firing sites. Except for persons or vessels authorized by the COTP or the COTP’s designated representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the restricted areas. These regulations are needed to keep spectators and vessels away from the immediate vicinity of the fireworks firing sites to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and transiting vessels. 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. khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES 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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been designated a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:17 Jun 27, 2019 Jkt 247001 from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. This regulatory action determination is based on the limited duration and narrowly tailored geographic area of the safety zones. Although this rule restricts access to the waters encompassed by the safety zones, the effect of this rule will not be significant because the local waterway users will be notified via public Notice to Mariners to ensure the safety zones will result in minimum impact. The entities most likely to be affected are waterfront facilities, commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in recreational activities. 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. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be small entities: owners and operators of waterfront facilities, commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in recreational activities and sightseeing, if these facilities or vessels are in the vicinity of the safety zones at times when these zones are being enforced. This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: (i) This rule will encompass only a small portion of the waterway for a limited period of time, and (ii) the maritime public will be advised in advance of these safety zones via Notice to Mariners. 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 contact 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 PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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. If you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. 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 E:\FR\FM\28JNR1.SGM 28JNR1 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 125 / Friday, June 28, 2019 / Rules and Regulations Directive 023–01 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 safety zones of limited size and duration. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) in Table 3–1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. G. Protest Activities The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. Protesters are asked to contact 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.

of the San Francisco Waterfront Celebration on July 4, 2019. These
safety zones are necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment from the dangers associated with pyrotechnics.
Unauthorized persons or vessels are prohibited from entering into,

impracticable in this instance.
publication in the Federal Register. For similar reasons as stated
above, notice and comment procedures would be impractical in this
instance due to the short notice provided for this event.
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP has determined that
potential hazards associated with the San Francisco Waterfront
Celebration Fireworks Display on July 4, 2019, will be a safety concern
for anyone within a 100-foot radius of the fireworks barges during
loading, staging, and transit, and anyone within a 700-foot radius of
the fireworks barges starting 30 minutes before the fireworks display
is scheduled to commence and ending 30 minutes after the conclusion of
the fireworks display. For this reason, safety zones are needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable
waters around the fireworks barges during the fireworks display.
This rule establishes safety zones from 9 a.m. on July 3, 2019
until 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 2019 during the loading, staging, and
transit of the four fireworks barges, until approximately 30 minutes
after completion of the fireworks display. From 9 a.m. on July 3, 2019
to 9 p.m. on July 4, 2019, during the loading, staging, and transit of
the fireworks barges until 30 minutes prior to the start of the
fireworks display, the
safety zones will encompass the navigable waters around and under the
four fireworks barges, from surface to bottom, within a circle formed
by connecting all points 100 feet out from each of the fireworks
barges. Loading the pyrotechnics onto the fireworks barges is scheduled
from 9 a.m. on July 3, 2019 to 7:30 p.m. on July 4, 2019, at Pier 50 in
San Francisco, CA. From 7:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. on July 4, 2019, the
fireworks barges will be towed from Pier 50 to the two display
locations, where they will remain until the conclusion of the fireworks
At 9 p.m. on July 4, 2019, 30 minutes prior to the commencement of
the 30-minute San Francisco Waterfront Celebration Fireworks Display,
the safety zones will increase in size and encompass the navigable
waters around and under the fireworks barges, from surface to bottom,
within the circles formed by connecting all points 700 feet from the
circle centers at approximate positions 37[deg]48'49'' N,
122[deg]24'46'' W (NAD 83) and 37[deg]48'45'' N, 122[deg]25'39'' W (NAD
83). The safety zones will terminate at 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 2019.
The effect of the safety zones is to restrict navigation in the
vicinity of the fireworks loading, staging, transit, and firing sites.
Except for persons or vessels authorized by the COTP or the COTP's
designated representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in
the restricted areas. These regulations are needed to keep spectators
and vessels away from the immediate vicinity of the fireworks firing
sites to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and transiting
