ACTION: Temporary final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing 9 temporary safety zones encompassing Hawaii's commercial [[Page 43763]] harbors to include Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. These temporary safety zones are necessary to protect the harbors from the potential impacts of Hurricane Lane and when enforced functionally close the port to commercial vessel traffic and require the evacuation of vessels in accordance with the Coast Guard Sector Honolulu Heavy Weather and Hurricane Plan. DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from August 28, 2018 until August 29, 2018. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from August 22, 2018, until August 28, 2018.

Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port Honolulu DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking Sec. 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 due to the imminent approach of Hurricane Lane and its potential impacts to the island of Hawaii. Closing the ports and ordering evacuation of vessels over 200 gross tons is in accordance with Coast Guard Sector Honolulu's Maritime Heavy Weather and Hurricane Plan. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because of the rapid escalation of the tropical storm to hurricane status and the imminent threat posed. 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 would be contrary to the rule's objectives of enhancing safety of life on the navigable waters and protection of persons and vessels due to the imminent threat of the approaching hurricane. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The Captain of the Port Honolulu (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with Hurricane Lane constitute a safety concern for all commercial harbors in Hawaii. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, maritime commercial facilities, and the marine environment in the navigable waters of Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. This temporary rulemaking implements the closure of the port and evacuation of vessels called for in the Coast Guard Sector Honolulu Heavy Weather & Hurricane Plan. Consistent with the Plan, the Captain of the Port finds sufficient indications that the approaching Hurricane Lane poses considerable safety concerns, creating the need for these safety zones. IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes nine safety zones encompassing Hawaii's 9 commercial harbors; Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. The Coast Guard is closing all commercial harbors to vessels over 200 gross tons, in accordance with the Coast Guard Sector Honolulu's Heavy Weather & Hurricane Plan and requires the evacuation of all vessels over 200 gross tons. Notice of actual port closure times will be given to the maritime community via marine safety information bulletins and broadcast notice to mariners. All vessels unable to comply with this safety zone and seeking to remain in port, must submit a request to remain in port detailing vessel specifics and a mooring plan for approval from the Captain of the Port. Vessels are not authorized to enter or remain in port without the specific authorization of the COTP Honolulu. The harbors will remain closed until the Coast Guard issues an ``All Clear'' for the harbor after the storm passes and a survey of the Harbor for potential hazards is completed by the Coast Guard. 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. 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 from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. This regulatory action determination is based on the anticipated short duration of the storm and protection of personnel, vessels, maritime commercial facilities, and the marine environment from potential impacts of Hurricane Lane. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue marine safety information bulletins and broadcast notice to mariners on marine channel 16 about the safety zones and the rule allows vessels to seek permission to enter the safety zones. 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. [[Page 43764]] While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the safety zones 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. This rule may affect the following small entities: The owners or operations of vessels intending to transit, anchor, or moor within nine safety zones encompassing Hawaii's 9 commercial harbors; Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii between August 22, 2018 and August 29, 2018. Upon passing of the hurricane and verification of the safety of the waterways, all vessels will be allowed to reenter or exit the commercial ports of Hawaii as soon as reasonably expected and safe to allow. 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 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 Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, 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 lasting 7 days that will prohibit entry into 9 Hawaii commercial harbors; Nawiliwili and Port Allen, Kauai; Barber's Point and Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kahului, Maui; and Kawaihae and Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(c) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination will be made 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.
