III. Background Information and Regulatory History The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary interim 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 temporary interim rule because it is impracticable.
Delaying the effective date by first publishing an NPRM would be contrary to the safety zones intended objections since immediate action is needed to protect persons and property from the potential safety hazards associated with the bridge construction. Such hazards may include failing debris from the construction project.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553d3, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this temporary interim rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Due to the need for immediate action, the restriction of vessel traffic is necessary to protect life, property and the environment. Therefore, a 30-day notice is impracticable. Delaying the effective date of this temporary interim rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate action is needed to protect persons and vessels from the potential safety hazards associated with the bridge construction in the vicinity of Little Rock, AR.
We are soliciting comments on this rulemaking. If the Coast Guard determines that changes to the temporary interim rule are necessary, we will publish a temporary final rule or other appropriate document.
IV. Legal Authority and Need for the Temporary Interim Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary interim rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 previously 33 U.S.C.
