DATES:
I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port 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 it is impractical and contrary to the public interest. The Coast Guard did not receive final details for this event until October 18, 2021. There was insufficient time to undergo the full rulemaking process, including providing a reasonable comment period and considering those comments because the Coast Guard must establish this temporary safety zone by November 14, 2021.
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 necessary to protect personnel, vessel, and the marine environment from the potential safety hazards associated with the munitions transfer near Alameda, CA beginning November 14, 2021.

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 San Francisco COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with the munitions transfer on November 14, 2021 and November 21, 2021 will be a safety concern for anyone within a 250-foot radius of the pier. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone around the munitions transfer site during the munitions transfer.
IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. on November 14, 2021 and from 8 a.m.
until 2 p.m. on November 21, 2021. The temporary safety zone will cover all navigable waters, from surface to bottom, within 250 feet of the munitions transfer pier located on the southwest side of Coast Guard Island in the Brooklyn Basin South Channel of the Oakland Estuary. The temporary safety zone will be terminated at 2 p.m. on both November 14, 2021 and November 21, 2021 or once announced via broadcast notice to mariners.
This regulation is necessary to keep persons and vessels away from the immediate vicinity of the munitions transfer location to ensure the safety of people, vessels, and the marine environment. Except for persons or vessels authorized by the COTP or the COTPs designated representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the restricted area. A designated representative means a Coast Guard Patrol Commander, including a Coast Guard coxswain, petty officer, or other officer operating a Coast Guard vessel or a Federal, State, or local officer designated by or assisting the COTP in the enforcement of the safety zone.
V. Regulatory Analyses We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and Executive orders related to rulemaking.
