that would have provided for electronic filing e-filing and electronic service eservice of papers, required e-filing for persons represented by attorneys or non-attorney representatives unless good cause is shown justifying a different form of filing, and required advance notice to the parties of the manner of a hearing or prehearing conference.
SUMMARY:
Effective February 25, 2021, the direct final rule published at 86 FR 1800
on January 11, 2021, is withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the DFR, the Department stated that if a significant adverse comment was submitted by February 10, 2021, the Department would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the DFR will not take effect. The Department also issued an identical notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM on the same day 86
FR 1862. The Department received significant adverse comment prior to the close of the comment period and is therefore withdrawing the DFR. The Department also received a request to extend the comment period and will reopen the comment period for the NPRM for 15 days in a future document.
In issuing a final action, the Department will consider comments received on the DFR and NPRM during the initial comment period as well as comments received during the subsequent comment period. The Department will also provide at least 30 days notice DATES:

between promulgating a final rule that requires e-filing and the date on which e-filing will become mandatory under such a rule. Furthermore, the Department notes that several comments raised concerns with the Departments electronic filing system and not the requirements of the proposed or direct final rules. To better understand and address these concerns, the Department plans to hold listening sessions during the coming weeks for users to provide feedback on the system. Information about those sessions will be announced at https efile.dol.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 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 4a of the 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 because doing so would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. On February 15, 2021, the Coast Guard was notified of a demolition event that will take place on the Ohio River, between Mile Marker MM 452.0 to MM 454.0 near New Richmond, OH from 9:30 a.m. through 10:30 a.m. on February 26, 2021 or if inclement weather is present the demotion event will take place on February 27, 2021 or February 28, 2021, from 9:30 a.m. through 10:30 a.m.
Notice of the demolition event did not give the Coast Guard enough time to publish an NPRM, take public comments, and issue a final rule before the demolition work is set to begin. It would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest to delay promulgating this rule as it is necessary to establish this safety zone on February 26, 2021 to protect the safety of anyone within a two mile radius of the area associated with the demolition. Under 5
U.S.C. 553d3, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this
