Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2019-0202]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Missouri River, Miles 226-360, Glasgow, MO to Kansas
City, MO

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
navigable waters of the Missouri River from mile marker (MM) 226 to MM
360 between Glasgow, MO and Kansas City, MO. This action is necessary
to provide for the safety of persons, vessels, and the marine
environment on these navigable waters as a result of increasing flood
conditions on the river that is threatening to overtop levees. Entry of
vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River
(COTP) or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from April 1, 2019
until April 30, 2019, or until cancelled by the Captain of the Port
Sector Upper Mississippi River, whichever occurs first. For the
purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be provided from 8:30 a.m.
on March 26, 2019 until April 1, 2019.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
USACE United States Army Corps of Engineers
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 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). 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. 553(b)(B), 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. It is
impracticable because we must establish this safety zone immediately
and lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment period and
then consider those comments before issuing this rule. The NPRM process
would delay the establishment of the safety zone and compromise public
safety.
    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 this rule would be
contrary to public interest because immediate action is necessary to
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with floodwaters
threatening to overtop levees along the river.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with
flood waters threaten to overtop levees along the river. The United
States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Kansas City District has
expressed concern that vessel traffic in the affected area could cause
damage to the levees resulting in overtopping or failure. This rule is
necessary to ensure the safety of persons, vessels, and the marine
environment on these navigable waters due to the flood impacts to USACE
levees.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    On March 25, 2019, the USACE Kansas City District contacted the
Coast Guard to report an increase in flood waters approaching the tops
of levees along the Missouri River between Mile Marker (MM) 226 and MM
360 and requested a river closure to ensure the safety of persons,
vessels, and the marine environment that would result if floodwaters
overtop the levees. This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from
March 26, 2019 until April 30, 2019, until cancelled by the Captain of
the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River (COTP), whichever occurs first.
The safety zone will cover all navigable waters of the Missouri River
from MM 226 to MM 360, unless reduced in scope by the COTP as flood
conditions warrant.
    No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. A designated representative is a commissioned, warrant,
or petty officer of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) assigned to units under
the operational control of USCG Sector Upper Mississippi River. To seek
permission to enter, contact the COTP or a designated representative
via VHF-FM channel 16, or through USCG Sector Upper Mississippi River
at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Persons and vessels permitted to enter the safety zone
must comply with all lawful orders or directions issued by the COTP or
designated representative. The COTP or a designated representative will
inform the public of the effective period for the safety zone as well
as any changes in the dates and times of enforcement, as well as
reductions in size of the safety zone as flood conditions improve,
through Local Notice to Mariners (LNMs), Broadcast Notices to Mariners
(BNMs), and/or Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs), as
appropriate.

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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the emergency
nature of the

action and after consultation with representatives of the shipping
industries that use this reach of river indicate that the many shipping
companies have already made arrangements to avoid this area. Moreover,
the Coast Guard will issue a BNM via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the
zone, and the rule allows vessels to seek permission to enter the zone
on a case-by-case basis.

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
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
temporary safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the
Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is
one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
a temporary safety zone prohibiting entry on a ninety mile stretch of
the Missouri River that is experiencing significant flooding that is
impacting levees. It is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L60(d) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual
023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination will be made available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.
