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 4a of the
PO 00000

Frm 00034

Fmt 4700

Sfmt 4700

Administrative Procedure Act APA 5
U.S.C. 553b. 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.
553bB, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM
with respect to this rule to ensure the safety of response personnel and mariners during repairs of the damaged pipeline, as well as the potential oil recovery of said pipeline. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM, because we must establish this safety zone by November 24, 2021, due to immediate action needed to minimize potential danger to the public during oil recovery operations for the discharge of oil from pipeline.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553d3, 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 would be contrary to public interest because immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the pipeline repair operations for the damaged pipeline.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
previously 33 U.S.C. 1231. The Captain of the Port COTP, Los AngelesLong Beach has determined that potential hazards associated with the pipeline repair and potential oil recovery operations in the vicinity of the damaged pipeline will be a safety concern for anyone within the following coordinates: 3339.320 N, 11806.851
W; 3339.141 N, 11806.247 W;
3338.632 N, 11806.453 W; 3338.809
N, 11807.064 W. This rule is necessary to safeguard the public during repair operations in response to an emergency situation; it would be impracticable for the Coast Guard to provide a public comment period on the rule.
IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone that will be enforced November 24, 2021
through December 8, 2021. The safety zone will encompass all navigable waters from the surface to the sea floor in an area bound by the following coordinates: 3339.320 N, 11806.851
W; 3339.141 N, 11806.247 W;
3338.632 N, 11806.453 W; 3338.809
N, 11807.064 W. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from
