Safety Zone; Santa Rosa Sound, Pensacola Beach, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for 
the navigable waters within a 500 yard radius of the Kokosing Cable Lay 
Barge on the Santa Rosa Sound, Pensacola Beach, FL. This temporary 
safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of life and property 
on these navigable waters during a power cable laying project taking 
place on the waterway. Entry into or transiting in this zone is 
prohibited to all vessels, mariners, and persons unless specifically 
authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Mobile (COTP) or a 
designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from February 16, 
2018 through March 30, 2018. For the purposes of enforcement, actual 
notice will be used from February 10, 2018 through February 16, 2018.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    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)(3)(B), 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 and 
contrary to the public interest. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM 
because we must establish this safety zone by February 10, 2018 and 
lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment period and then 
consider those comments before issuing the rule. It is also contrary to 
the public interest as it would delay the safety measures necessary to 
protect life and property from the possible hazards associated with the 
power cable laying project.
    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 is contrary to public interest because it would delay the 
safety measures necessary to respond to potential safety hazards 
associated with this project. Immediate action is needed to protect 
vessels and mariners from the safety hazards associated with the power 
cable laying project on the waterway.

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 Sector Mobile (COTP) has determined that 
potential hazards associated with the power cable laying project from 
February 10, 2018 through March 30, 2018 will be a safety concern for 
any vessels or persons in the vicinity of the Kokosing Cable Lay Barge 
located between positions 30[deg]21'26.0'' N, 87[deg]09'13.0'' W and 
30[deg]20'04.7'' N, 87[deg]08'20.8'' W on the Santa Rosa Sound, 
Pensacola Beach, FL. This rule is needed to protect the public, 
mariners, and vessels from the potential hazards

[[Page 6965]]

associated with a power cable laying project on the waterway.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone encompassing all 
navigable waters within a 500 yard radius of the power cable laying 
project in the vicinity of the Kokosing Cable Lay Barge located between 
positions 30[deg]21'26.0'' N, 87[deg]09'13.0'' W and 30[deg]20'04.7'' 
N, 87[deg]08'20.8'' W from February 10, 2018 through March 30, 2018. 
The location and duration of this safety zone is intended to protect 
persons and vessels during the power cable laying project taking place 
on this navigable waterway. No person or vessel will be permitted to 
enter or transit within the safety zone, unless specifically authorized 
by the COTP or a designated representative. A designated representative 
is a commissioned, warrant, or petty officer of the U.S. Coast Guard 
assigned to units under the operational control of USCG Sector Mobile. 
Vessels requiring entry into this safety zone must request permission 
from the COTP or a designated representative. They may be contacted on 
VHF-FM channel 16 or by telephone at 251-441-5976. Persons and vessels 
permitted to enter this safety zone must transit at their slowest safe 
speed and comply with all lawful directions issued by the COTP or the 
designated representative. Public notifications will be made to the 
local maritime community prior to the event through Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners (BNM).

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 protectors.

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 determination is based on the size, location, and 
duration of the safety zone. This temporary safety zone will only 
restrict navigation in a 500 yard radius portion of the Santa Rosa 
Sound, in Pensacola Beach, FL for duration of the power cable laying 
project. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners (BNM) via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the 
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the 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 
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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the 
safety zone 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.
    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 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, which guides 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 a safety zone that will prohibit 
entry within a 500 yard radius of the Kokosing Cable Lay Barge on the 
Santa Rosa Sound. It is categorically excluded from further

Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev.01. A Record of Environmental Consideration 
(REC) 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.
