ensure the safety of vessels and persons in the navigable waters before, during, and after a barge-based fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

This rule establishes a safety zone from 8 p.m. through 10 p.m. on December 31, 2024, or on a weather contingency date of January 1, 2025, from 8 p.m. through 10 p.m. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters within 150 yards of the fireworks barge on the Beaufort River in Beaufort, SC. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and persons before, during, and after the fireworks display. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review). Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

This regulatory action determination is based on the size, location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone Although the rule restricts access to a small, designated area of the Beaufort River encompassed by the safety zone, the effect of this rule will not be significant because the local waterways users will be notified to ensure the safety zone will result in minimal impact for the 2 hours in the evening when vessel traffic is normally low. Additionally, vessel traffic will be able to safely transit around the safety zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations

[Docket Number USCG–2024–0979]

RIN 1625–AA00

Safety Zone; Beaufort River, Beaufort, SC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters of the Beaufort River in Beaufort, SC, for a barge-based fireworks display. The safety zone will encompass all waters within a 150-yard radius of the fireworks barge. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by a fireworks display. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Charleston.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 p.m. through 10 p.m. on December 31, 2024, or in the case of a weather issues, the rule is effective from 8 p.m. through 10 p.m. on January 1, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

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 under the authority in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory 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.’’ 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 impracticable. The Coast Guard was not informed of the need for a large-based fireworks display with sufficient time to go through the full notice and comment rulemaking process. Immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with a largebased fireworks display, in Beaufort, SC. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must establish this safety zone by December 31, 2024, or an alternate weather contingency date of January 1, 2025.

Also, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), 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 necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from the potential safety hazards associated with the bargebased fireworks display located in the Beaufort River, in Beaufort, SC.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The Captain of the Port Sector Charleston (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with a barge-based fireworks display on December 31, 2024, or on an alternate weather contingency date of January 1, 2025, will be a safety concern for anyone within a 150-yard radius of the fireworks barge. This rule is needed to
