III. Background Information and Regulatory History This rulemaking establishes a temporary safety zone for the waters around the Seagull Bridge, Quinnipiac River, Hamden, CT. On April 1, 2021, the Coast Guard received notice of debris falling from the Seagull Bridge and that the bridge is displaying signs of failure; thus creating a hazardous situation. As a temporary interim rule, this will allow the Coast Guard to expeditiously establish a safety zone, while also providing time to complete a structural analysis of the Seagull Bridge.
If we determine that changes to the temporary interim rule are necessary, the Coast Guard will publish a temporary final rule or other appropriate document.
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 temporary interim rule because doing so would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. Publishing an NPRM and delaying the effective date of this rule to await public comment is contrary to the safety zones intended objective, since immediate action is needed to protect persons and property from the potential falling debris from the Seagull Bridge.
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
