[FR Doc. 2025–22653 Filed 12–11–25; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4810–AL–P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 33 CFR Part 165 [Docket Number USCG–2025–1106] RIN 1625–AA00 Safety Zone; Between Lights 7 Through 19; Texas City Channel, Texas City, TX AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security. ACTION: Temporary final rule. SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters between lights 7 through 19 of the Texas City Channel. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by a vessel collision and salvage operation. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Houston-Galveston or a designated representative. DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from December 12, 2025, through 3:00 p.m. on December 31, 2025, unless cancelled earlier by the COTP. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from December 5, 2025, until December 12, 2025. ADDRESSES: To view available documents go to https:// www.regulations.gov and search for USCG–2025–1106. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this proposed rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant Ignacio J. Ferna´ndez-Cuervo, Marine Safety Unit Texas City, Waterways Management Division, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (281) 309–1617, email MSUTexasCityWaterways@uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 and Authority On December 5, 2025, the Coast Guard received notification that a collision occurred between a vessel and a dredge pipeline in the Texas City Channel, resulting in floating and sunken debris in the channel. The Captain of the Port (COTP) Houston￾Galveston has determined that this collision has created potential hazards to navigation for anyone navigating within the Texas City Channel. Therefore, the COTP is issuing this rule under the authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034, which is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone. The Coast Guard is issuing this rule without prior notice and comment. As is authorized by 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 and contrary to the public interest. Delaying the effective date of this rule is impracticable because prompt action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with obstructions that resulted from the vessel collision. For the same reasons, the Coast Guard finds that under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. III. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone from 3:00 p.m. on December 5, 2025, through 3:00 p.m. on December 31, 2025, unless cancelled earlier by the COTP. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters between lights 7 through 19 of the Texas City Channel. The duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable waters while debris is collected and unaccounted spud is located. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or their designated representative. IV. 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. A. Impact on Small Entities The regulatory flexibility analysis provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, do not apply to rules that are not subject to notice and comment. Because the Coast Guard has, for good cause, waived the notice and comment requirement that would otherwise apply to this rulemaking, the Regulatory Flexibility Act’s flexibility analysis provisions do not apply here. Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), if this rule will affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions, contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Small businesses may send comments to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards by calling 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. B. 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). C. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in that Order. 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Dec 11, 2025 Jkt 268001 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\12DER1.SGM 12DER1 khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES
