SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion of the Rule
Each year Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations is recodified
on July 1. This rule makes editorial changes throughout the title,
corrects addresses, updates cross-references, and makes other technical
and editorial corrections to be included in the recodification. Some
editorial changes are discussed individually in the following
paragraphs. This rule does not change any substantive requirements of
existing regulations.
Sections 174.14, 174.19, and 174.106
In these sections the rule changes the word ``boat'' to ``vessel''
to conform to the current statutory authority language in 46 U.S.C.
12302.
Section 179.03
This rule revises Sec. 179.03 to clarify the meaning of the term
``Associated equipment'' as used in part 179 for defect notification
requirements by adding the words ``as used in this part''.
Section 181.21
This rule removes an outdated certification date.
Sections 183.37 and 183.43
This rule revises the section headings in Secs. 183.37 and 183.43
by adding the words ``outboard motors'' to reflect that the sections
apply to outboard motors.
Sections 183.101, 183.201, and 183.301
These sections contain references to boats constructed on or after
July 31, 1978, the effective date of Subparts F, G, and H of the
Flotation Standard. Boats manufactured prior to that date still exist,
but the standard is a manufacturer requirement applicable to new boats,
and the effective date is no longer needed. This rule removes the
effective date.
Section 183.401
The text of paragraph (a) is clarified by moving the words ``except
outboard engines'' from the end of the sentence to immediately follow
the words ``gasoline engines'' and by adding the word ``generation''
following the word ``electrical'' to conform the wording in
Sec. 183.401 to the wording in Sec. 183.501.
Section 183.601
Section 183.601 contains a reference to boats that were built after
July 31, 1980, except that the manufacturer may elect to comply any
time after July 31, 1978. Boats manufactured prior to these dates still
exist, but the standard is a manufacturer requirement applicable to new
boats. The dates are no longer needed. This rule removes the dates.
Section 183.701
Section 183.701 contains a reference to the fact that the subpart
applies to outboard motors and controls manufactured after August 1,
1982. Outboard motors and controls manufactured prior to that date
still exist, but the standard is a manufacturer requirement applicable
to new engines and controls. The date is no longer needed. This rule
removes the date.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866 and does not
[[Page 34711]]
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. It has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget under that Order. It is not significant under the
regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation
(DOT) (44 FR 11040; February 26, 1979). We expect the economic impact
of this rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under
paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is
unnecessary. As this rule involves internal agency practices and
procedures, it will not impose any costs on the public.
Collection of Information
This rule will call for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
Federalism
We have analyzed this rule under E.O. 12612 and have determined
that this rule does not have sufficient implications for federalism to
warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and Enhancing the Intergovernmental
Partnership
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) and
E.O. 12875, Enhancing the Intergovernmental Partnership, (58 FR 58093,
October 28, 1993) govern the issuance of Federal regulations that
require unfunded mandates. An unfunded mandate is a regulation that
requires a State, local, or tribal government or the private sector to
incur direct costs without the Federal Government's having first
provided the funds to pay those costs. This proposed rule would not
impose an unfunded mandate.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under E.O. 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of E.O. 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under E.O. 13045, Protection of Children
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not an
economically significant rule and does not concern an environmental
risk to health or risk to safety that may disproportionately affect
children.
Environment
We considered the environmental impact of this rule and concluded
that, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(a) and (b) of Commandant
Instruction M16475.lC, this rule is categorically excluded from further
environmental documentation. This exclusion is in accordance with
paragraphs (34)(a) and (b), concerning regulations that are editorial
or procedural and concerning internal agency functions or organization.
A ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
