    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final 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 NPRM with respect to this rule 
because

[[Page 38947]]

doing so would be impracticable. There is insufficient time to publish 
a NPRM and solicit comments from the public before these events take 
place. Thus, waiting for a comment period to run would inhibit the 
Coast Guard's ability to fulfill its mission to keep the ports and 
waterways safe.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), and for the same reasons stated in the 
preceding paragraph, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for 
making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the 
Federal Register.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 
U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5 and Department of 
Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1 which collectively authorize 
the Coast Guard to define regulatory safety zones.
    As discussed in the Regulatory History and Information section, 
thirteen fireworks displays will take place in the Coast Guard Sector 
LIS COTP Zone between June 26, 2015 and August 1, 2015. The COTP Long 
Island Sound has determined that thirteen safety zones are necessary to 
provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during those 
events.
    Barnum Festival, LLC fireworks display will be held on Bridgeport 
Harbor, Bridgeport, CT.
    Salute to Veterans fireworks display will be held on Reynolds 
Channel off Hempstead, NY.
    City of Stamford fireworks display will be held on Fisher's

area, specifically a safety zone, is required for each of these 
fireworks displays to protect both spectators and participants from the 
safety hazards created by the fireworks displays, including unexpected 
pyrotechnics detonation and burning debris.

    This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring, or 
anchoring within areas specifically designated as safety zones and 
restricts vessel movement around the locations of the marine events to 
reduce the safety risks associated with them during the periods of 
enforcement unless authorized by the COTP or designated representative.
    Consistent with 33 CFR 165.7, the Coast Guard will notify the 
public and local mariners of this safety zone through appropriate 
means, which may include, but are not limited to, publication in the 
Federal Register, the Local Notice to Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners. The specific dates, including rain dates, for the events are 
listed in the regulatory text.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and 
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses 
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as 
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and 
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential 
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or 
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and 
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The Coast Guard determined that this rulemaking is not a 
significant regulatory action for the following reasons: The 
enforcement of these safety zones will be relatively short in duration. 
Additionally, persons or vessels desiring to enter a safety zone may do 
so with permission from the COTP Sector Long Island Sound or a 
designated representative. Furthermore, these safety zones are designed 
in a way to limit impacts on vessel traffic, permitting vessels to 
navigate in other portions of the waterways not designated as a safety 
zone. Finally, to increase public awareness of these safety zones, the 
Coast Guard will notify the public of the enforcement of this rule via 
appropriate means, such as Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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 temporary final rule will affect the following entities, some 
of which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels 
intending to enter, transit, anchor, or moor within a safety zone 
during the periods of enforcement, from June 26, 2015 to August 1, 
2015. However, this temporary final rule will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the same 
reasons discussed in the REGULATORY PLANNING AND REVIEW section. 
Additionally, before the effective period, public notifications will be 
made to local mariners through appropriate means, which may include but 
are not limited to, the Local Notice to Mariners as well as Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    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 proposed 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, above.
    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 proposed rule or any 
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. 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).

5. Federalism

    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 determined 
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. 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.

7. 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

[[Page 38949]]

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.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental 
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property 
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) 
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, 
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule 
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may 
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive 
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect 
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not 
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security 
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which 
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(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 temporary rule involves the establishment of safety 
zones. This rule is categorically excluded from further review under 
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An 
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a 
Categorical Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where 
indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may 
lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this 
rule.

event is delayed by inclement weather, the safety zone will be enforced 
on the rain date indicated in TABLE to Sec.  165.T01-0438.
    (c) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section: A 
``designated representative'' is any commissioned, warrant or petty 
officer of the U.S. Coast Guard who has been designated by the Captain 
of the Port (COTP), Sector Long Island Sound, to act on his or her 
behalf. An ``official patrol vessel'' may consist of any Coast Guard, 
Coast Guard Auxiliary, state, or local law enforcement vessels assigned 
or approved by the COTP.
    (d) Operations. (1) Vessels desiring to enter or operate within a 
safety zone should contact the COTP or the designated representative 
via VHF channel 16 or by telephone at (203) 468-4401 to obtain 
permission to do so. Vessels given permission to enter or operate in a 
safety zone must comply with all directions given to them by the COTP 
Sector Long Island Sound or the designated on-scene representative.
    (2) Upon being hailed by an official patrol vessel or the 
designated representative, by siren, radio, flashing light or other 
means, the operator of the vessel shall proceed as directed. The 
designated representative may be on an official patrol vessel or may be 
on shore and will communicate with vessels via VHF-FM radio or 
loudhailer. While members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary will not serve 
as the designated representative, they may be present to inform vessel 
operators of this regulation.
    (e) Compliance. Failure to comply with a lawful direction may 
result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or 
both.
