July 4, 2021, during fireworks displays to commemorate the July 4th holiday.
This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in this safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port MarylandNational Capital Region or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before June 22, 2021.

On May 4, 2021, the Drew Landis Memorial Fireworks Fund, Inc. of St.
Michaels, MD, notified the Coast Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on July 3, 2021. The fireworks are to be launched from a fireworks barge located in the Miles River, near the entrance to Long Haul Creek, at St. Michaels, MD.
In the event of inclement weather, the fireworks display will be scheduled for July 4, 2021. Hazards from the fireworks display include accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris. The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region has determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be used in this display would be a safety concern for anyone within 420 feet of the fireworks barge.
The Coast Guard is requesting that interested parties provide comments within a shortened comment period of 15 days instead of the typical 30 days

for this notice of proposed rulemaking.
The Coast Guard believes the 15-day comment period still provides for a reasonable amount of time for interested parties to review the proposal and provide informed comments on it while also ensuring that the Coast Guard has time to review and respond to any significant comments and has a final rule in effect in time for the scheduled event.
The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 previously 33 U.S.C. 1231.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule The COTP is proposing to establish a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters within the Miles River and would be enforced from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on July 3, 2021, or if necessary due to inclement weather, from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 2021. The safety zone would cover all navigable waters of the Miles River within 420 feet of a barge in approximate position latitude 384755.10 N, longitude 0761243.75
W, located at the entrance to Long Haul Creek, at St. Michaels, MD. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled 9 to 9:30 p.m. on July 3, 2021 fireworks display.
No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative.
The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of this document.
IV. Regulatory Analyses We developed this proposed 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.
This NPRM has not been designated a significant regulatory action, under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget OMB.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size, duration, and timeof-day of the safety zone, which would impact a small designated area of the Miles River for a total no more than 2.5
