The Fifth Coast Guard District has been been notified of three fireworks displays planned throughout the Maryland-National Capital Region to commemorate the July 4th holiday. In response, on May 10, 2021, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM titled Safety Zones; July 4th Holiday Fireworks in the Coast Guard Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region Zone 86 FR 24807. There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to these fireworks displays. During the comment period that ended May 25, 2021, we received no comments.
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 impracticable because immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the fireworks displays.
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 Maryland-National Capital Region COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be used in these July 3, 2021 and July 4, 2021 displays will be a safety concern for anyone approaching the fireworks discharge sites. The purpose of this rule is to ensure safety of vessels and the navigable waters in the safety zones before, during, and after the scheduled events.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published May 10, 2021. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM.
This rule establishes three temporary safety zones for certain navigable waters within the COTP Maryland-National Capital Region Zone, as described in 33
CFR 3.2515, and will be enforced during the times described below for each zone.
The first safety zone will be enforced from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on July 3, 2021, or if necessary due to inclement weather, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on July 5, 2021. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters of the Severn River, within 150 yards of a fireworks discharge site located at the end of
