SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This project is part of the President's Regulatory Review
Initiative to remove or revise unnecessary government regulations. This
project removed numerous obsolete sections from the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) and eliminated others by consolidating the lifesaving
requirements for most U.S. inspected vessels in the new subchapter W in
46 CFR chapter I. Subchapter W also replaced many prescriptive
regulations with performance-based alternatives.
You can find more detailed background information in the preamble
of the final rule published on October 1, 1998 (63 FR 52802), under
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulations contain typographical errors
that may mislead the reader and need to be corrected.
List of Subjects in 46 CFR Part 199
