    II. Regulatory History

    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for this rule. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), the Coast Guard finds this rule is exempt from notice and comment rulemaking requirements because these changes involve rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice. In addition, the Coast Guard finds notice and comment procedures are unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as this rule consists only of corrections and editorial, organizational, and conforming amendments and these changes will have no substantive effect on the public. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that, for the same reasons, good cause exists for making this rule effective upon publication in the Federal Register.

    III. Background and Purpose

    Each year, the printed edition of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is recodified on July 1. This rule, which is effective July 1, 2013, makes technical and editorial corrections throughout Title 33. This rule does not create any substantive requirements. This rule is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552, 553, App. 2; 14 U.S.C. 2, 631, 632, and 633; 33 U.S.C. 471, 499; 49 U.S.C. 101, 322; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

    IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule amends § 1.05(j) to reflect changes in agency organization by correctly identifying District Bridge Managers by their appropriate title. Specifically, this change replaces the term “Bridge Program Chief”, which is no longer used in the Coast Guard, with “District Bridge Manager.”

    Additionally, this rule updates § 1.05-10 to reflect changes in agency organization, noting that District Bridge Managers also have the authority to issue rules of local applicability with regard to temporary deviations to drawbridge operating schedules. This rule also edits the section by correcting a non-substantive typographical error in the first sentence, replacing a comma with a period.

    This rule amends 33 CFR part 3 to reflect changes in agency organization by creating and defining Coast Guard sectors that exercise specific Search and Rescue Mission Coordinator authority over a designated portion of an encompassing sector's area of responsibility. Revisions to this part also accommodate these newly-designated Search and Rescue Coordinator Zones in parts that discuss sector authorities and divisions. Specifically, in § 3.55-25, the Coast Guard established a Search and Rescue Missions Coordinator Zone for an area near Humboldt Bay in California. Additionally, the Coast Guard established the same authority for a new sector in North Bend, Oregon.

    This rule amends § 6.01-3 to make the regulation defining a Captain of the Port gender neutral. The new language indicates that a Captain of the Port may be male or female, replacing outdated language referring to Captains of the Port using only male gender designations.

    This rule amends § 13.01-15(d) to correct a reference to an outdated publication. In § 13.01-15, the regulation previously referenced a Manual for Courts-Martial that no longer exists. Pertinent sections from that manual have been incorporated into a new publication, the Administrative Investigations Manual, also known as Commandant Instruction M5830.1A (2007). Additionally, § 13.01 has been updated to reflect the new reference.

    This rule amends 33 CFR part 72 in order to correctly state the means by which the Coast Guard issues the Local Notice to Mariners (LNM). Because the Coast Guard no longer mails out the LNM, § 72.01-10(b) and (c) have been updated with two links: (1) A direct link to the latest LNM, and (2) a link to subscribe to an email distribution list that disseminates the LNM when new editions become available. The link previously listed in the Note to § 72.01-5 has been removed, updated, and moved to paragraph (b) as discussed above.

    Additionally, this rule amends § 72.01-10(b), (c), and Note to reflect the updated language in the LNM indicating the agencies that work together to prepare the publication. Specifically, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency changed its name to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. This rule removes the references to printed versions of the LNM in § 72.01-10(c). In place of paragraph (c) is an updated link to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Web site that directs readers to digital copies of the LNM. The Note to § 72.01-10 has been removed because it is an outdated link and a corrected link has been incorporated into paragraph (c) as discussed above.

    Further, this rule amends § 72.01-25 to update ways in which readers can access, purchase, and download navigational aids referenced within this part. This rule removes a reference to the Government Printing Office in paragraph (b), which no longer sells Radio Navigational Aids, but replaces it with a link where readers can purchase the Aids. This rule also updates links in paragraph (c) to indicate where readers can purchase the United States Coast Pilot publication or download electronic charts from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

    This rule removes § 72.01-35 because it is no longer relevant or applicable. Because the Local Notice to Mariners is no longer published and mailed to those who request it, this section is removed to avoid confusion when reading 33 CFR part 72.

    This rule also amends § 72.01-40(c) to reflect the new title of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. This section previously referred to that agency by its outdated agency title, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency.

    This rule amends the Note to § 72.05-5 to update the Government Printing Office address from which readers may order volumes of the Light List publication. This change will provide readers with an accurate address and avoids confusion amongst those who wish to order a copy of the Light List.

    This rule revises the Note to § 72.05-10 to provide an updated link to access the Coast Guard Light List on the Internet. This rule replaces that link with the current Coast Guard link.

    This rule amends § 80.110(b) and § 80.115(b) to correct non-substantive typographical errors in latitude positions. For consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves in either of the two sections.

    This rule amends § 80.120(b) to make a non-substantive update and grammatical correction. The title of the lighthouse referenced in this paragraph has been updated to reflect the current, correct title for the lighthouse used as a reference point. Additionally, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves.

    This rule amends §§ 80.145, 80.501(d), and 80.505(c) to correct non-substantive typographical errors in latitude positions. Specifically, for consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates in each particular paragraph. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves in any of these sections.Start Printed Page 39165

    This rule corrects § 80.520(a) to reflect the correct latitude and longitude of the Hatteras Inlet Lookout Tower. The previous language in this paragraph erroneously identified the coordinates for the Hatteras Inlet Lookout Tower. The text has been updated with the correct latitude and longitude coordinates as follows: “latitude 35°11.85′ N., longitude 75°43.9′ W. 255° true to the eastern end of Ocracoke Island.”

    This rule amends § 80.520 paragraphs (a) and (b) to correct a non-substantive typographical error. Specifically, for consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates in each particular paragraph. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves.

    This rule amends § 80.525(c) and (d) to correct a non-substantive typographical error. Specifically, for consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates in each particular paragraph. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves.

    This rule removes latitude and longitude points in § 80.525(e) and replaces them with more precise reference points. The reference points previously noted with coordinates have eroded, causing many of the points to disappear. The new reference language is general enough to provide a meaningful reference point while adapting to areas where erosion has noticeably affected the shoreline.

    This rule amends § 80.530(a) to correct a non-substantive typographical error in latitude position. Specifically, for consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinate. This rule does not change the coordinate itself.

    This rule amends § 80.703(f) to clarify a COLREGS demarcation line because the previous description refers to a line of longitude that no longer depicts a point of land easily discernible to mariners. This paragraph now refers to the demarcation line based on points that rely upon the physical body of land itself, and that no longer reference a particular line of longitude.

    This rule amends § 80.707(a) to correct a reference point that is misleading due to shoaling in the area. Because shoaling affected the shoreline referenced in this paragraph, the bearing previously cited is no longer useful. The new text uses reference points that rely on the land itself instead of directional references.

    This rule also amends § 80.707(b) to correct and update references mentioned in this paragraph. Particularly, Sandy Point is no longer a viable reference point as shoaling has affected it. As such, the rule extends the demarcation line accordingly.

    This rule amends § 80.712 to remove an outdated reference to an aid to navigation and to correct a non-substantive typographical error. The language in § 80.712(a) is updated to remove reference to an aid to navigation that has been removed.

    This rule amends § 80.712(f) to correct non-substantive typographical errors in the latitude positions. Specifically, for consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates in this paragraph. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves.

    This rule amends § 80.715 to update the name of a lighthouse and correct non-substantive typographical errors. The “Tybee Range Rear Light” is now called the “Tybee Light.” For grammatical consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves. Also, this rule removes excess space between the “N” in the latitude position and the period that follows it.

    This rule makes a non-substantive correction to a reference point in § 80.717(c). Previously, “Wassaw Island” was misspelled. This rule updates this paragraph to reflect the correct spelling of this island, which serves as a geographical point of reference in this paragraph.

    This rule amends § 80.717(d) to correct a non-substantive typographical error in the longitude position. Previously, a zero was omitted from the minutes section of the longitude. The longitude should now read “81°08.4′ W.” This rule does not change the location that the coordinates reference.

    This rule amends § 80.720(a) and (b) to correct non-substantive typographical errors in latitude positions. Specifically, for consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves.

    This rule amends § 80.735(a) and (f) to correct a non-substantive typographical errors in latitude position. Specifically, for consistency, this rule inserts a comma after the latitude coordinates. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves.

    This rule amends § 80.738(b) to convert the minutes and seconds in the coordinates to minutes and decimals for consistency with the other sections of this part. The Coast Guard seeks to standardize its coordinates in order to provide uniform and predictable reference points for those looking at regulations. This rule also corrects a non-substantive typographical error by inserting periods after the “N” and “W” for readability and consistency. This rule does not change the location that the coordinates reference.

    This rule amends § 80.740 and paragraphs (a) and (c) of § 80.745 to correct non-substantive typographical errors in the latitude positions. Specifically, this correction inserts commas after the “N” and “W” for consistency. This rule does not change the coordinates themselves.

    This rule amends § 80.748(d) to correct a non-substantive typographical error in the latitude position. Specifically, for consistency, this correction inserts a comma after the “N” in the latitude coordinate. This rule does not change the location that the coordinates reference.

    This rule amends § 80.757(g) to correct non-substantive typographical errors in the latitude position. Specifically, this correction inserts commas after the “N” and “W” for consistency. This rule does not change the location that the coordinates reference.

    This rule amends § 80.757(h) to update the name of a lighthouse listed as a reference point. The lights previously referred to as the “Suwannee River Wadley Pass Channel Daybeacons 30 and 31” are now referred to as the “Suwannee River Mcgriff Pass Daybeacons 30 and 31.” The name change reflects the updated names in the Light List.

    This rule amends § 80.805(d) to update a COLREGS demarcation line. The line previously described did not intersect Turkey Light Point 2, a referenced aid to navigation. Instead, this demarcation line is updated to correctly identify the demarcation line by removing that reference and instead using a fixed extremity of land as a point of reference. Additionally, this rule corrects non-substantive typographical errors in the longitude position. Specifically, for consistency, this correction inserts a comma after the “W.” This grammatical change does not change the location that this line references.

    This rule amends § 80.830(a) to remove a reference to an aid to navigation that has been removed. A reference to the “West Bay light” was replaced by a reference to the “westernmost point near Pass du Bois,” as the previous point of reference is an aid to navigation that was removed. Additionally, this rule corrects non-substantive typographical errors in the latitudes referenced in this paragraph. Specifically, for consistency, this rule adds a comma after the letter “N” in the latitude coordinates. This grammatical Start Printed Page 39166correction does not change the location that the coordinates reference.

    This rule amends § 80.835 to update a reference to the name of an aid to navigation, removes a navigational reference point that no longer exists, and corrects non-substantive typographical errors in latitude and longitude coordinates. The aid to navigation previously referred to as “Point Au Fer Reef Light 33” is now correctly referred to as the “Atchafalaya Channel Light 33,” reflecting a recent name change. Further, the reference point known as “Pipeline Light D” no longer exists, and any reference to it has been removed. Additionally, this rule adds commas after the “N” and “W” in the latitude and longitude coordinates listed in this regulation. This grammatical change is done for consistency and does not change the location that the coordinates reference.

    This rule amends § 80.1110 to update the numbers for the lights referenced. The light previously referred to as “Dana Point Jetty Light 6” has since been renamed to “Dana Point Jetty Light 4” and the light previously referred to as “Dana Point Breakwater Light 5” is now known as “Dana Point Breakwater Light 3.”

    This rule amends § 83.10(l) to make a non-substantive grammatical change. This rule capitalizes the “R” in “rule” for clarity and consistency. This capitalization indicates to the reader that the word “rule” refers to the requirements of Rule 10, the rule in which paragraph (l) is located.

    This rule amends § 83.38(d)(5) to add a word for clarity. Previously, this paragraph had a sentence that read, “The restructuring of all lights to meet the prescriptions of Annex I to these, until. . .” This rule adds the word “Rules” to clarify that the prescriptions of Annex I come from the previously discussed Rules.

    This rule amends § 83.38(d)(6) to make a non-substantive grammatical change. Specifically, this rule inserts a hyphen into the phrase “all-round” for clarity and consistency.

    This rule amends § 101.105 to make a non-substantive update to correct a Web site referenced in the text. The Web site is now located at http://www.uscg.mil/​hq/​cg5/​nvic. The contents of that Web site remain the same; only the link has changed.

    This rule amends § 101.115(a) to reflect changes in internal agency organization by updating Coast Guard office titles. The Coast Guard has implemented its DCO 3.0 policy that changes office titles and internal organizational structure. The office reference in this paragraph has changed from “CG-54” to “CG-5P.” This section has been updated to reflect the new office designation as CG-5P.

    This rule amends § 101.120(b) to make non-substantive changes for clarification. This paragraph makes reference to Alternative Security Programs that owners and operators of vessels may comply with. This rule changes the language from “may meet an Alternative Security Program” to “may meet the requirements of an Alternative Security Program.” This section always intended that the requirements of the Alternative Security Programs be met; a clause is being added to clarify that point.

    This rule amends § 101.120 paragraphs (b), (c), (d)(2), and (f), and the introduction to § 101.125 to reflect changes in internal agency organization by updating Coast Guard office titles. The Coast Guard implemented its DCO 3.0 policy that changed office titles and internal organizational structure. The office references in these paragraphs have changed from “CG-54” to “CG-5P.” This section has been updated to reflect the new office designation as CG-5P.

    This rule removes § 101.125 in order to avoid confusion about Alternative Security Programs. Previously in this section, the Coast Guard kept a list of approved Alternative Security Programs. However, the programs and organizations that issue them change so frequently that it is difficult for the Coast Guard to maintain an updated list in the CFR. The list contained within the regulation was never exhaustive and Alternative Security Programs continue to be regulated under subchapter H and approved according to the existing provisions. The Coast Guard maintains an up-to-date list, which can be found under the “MTSA” link located on the Coast Guard Homeport Web site(https://homeport.uscg.mil/​).

    This rule amends § 101.130(a) to reflect changes in internal agency organization by updating Coast Guard office titles. The Coast Guard implemented its DCO 3.0 policy that changed office titles and internal organizational structure. The office reference in this paragraph changed from “CG-54” to “CG-5P.” This section has been updated to reflect the new office designation as CG-5P.

    This rule amends § 101.200 paragraphs (c) and (d) to remove outdated references to a threat advisory system and replaces those references with updated, corrected references. Previously, under § 101.200, the Commandant would adjust the Maritime Security (MARSEC) levels in conjunction with the Homeland Security Alignment System (HSAS). The HSAS was replaced by the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS), which now serves as the consulted system in adjusting the MARSEC levels.

    This rule removes and reserves § 101.205, because it references an outdated advisory system. Because the HSAS was replaced by the NTAS, this section is no longer relevant and may cause confusion to the reader.

    This rule amends § 101.420 to reflect changes in internal agency organization by updating Coast Guard office titles. The Coast Guard implemented its DCO 3.0 policy that changed office titles and internal organizational structure. The office references in these paragraphs have changed from “CG-54” to “CG-5P” and from “CG-543” to “CG-CVC.” This section has been updated to reflect the new office designations as CG-5P and CG-CVC.

    This rule also amends § 101.510(a) to update a reference to reflect the current version of a document. The updated document is “NVIC 9-02 change 3,” which replaces “NVIC 9-02 change 2.”

    This rule amends § 104.130 to reflect changes in internal agency organization by updating Coast Guard office titles. The Coast Guard implemented its DCO 3.0 policy that changed office titles and internal organizational structure. The office reference in this paragraph changed from “CG-54” to “CG-5P.” This section has been updated to reflect the new office designation as CG-5P.

    This rule amends § 104.200(b)(7) to remove a reference to a Web site that is no longer valid. In § 104.200(b)(7), the text refers to a link in which the Maritime Administration supplies the text of the treaties referred to in the paragraph. This Web site and the preceding sentence referring readers to the Web site are being removed because the Web site no longer exists.

    This rule amends § 104.205(b)(1) to make a non-substantive change to update an email address to contact the Captain of the Port. The updated email address now reads “HQS-DG-lst-NRCINFO@uscg.mil.”

    This rule also amends § 104.205(b)(3) to reflect changes in internal agency organization by updating Coast Guard office titles. The Coast Guard implemented its DCO 3.0 policy that changed office titles and internal organizational structure. The office reference in this paragraph changed from “CG-54” to “CG-5P.” This section has been updated to reflect the new office designation as CG-5P.

    This rule amends § 104.267(b)(2) to correct a non-substantive typographical error in the parentheses. The CFR shows an extra space inserted around the left Start Printed Page 39167parenthesis. This rule corrects paragraph (b)(2) by removing the extra space.

    This rule amends § 104.410(a)(2) by making a non-substantive revision clarifying the security programs that the paragraph refers to. Previously, this paragraph omitted the word “Alternative,” which is used consistently in Subpart D. This paragraph is updated to refer to alternative options as “Approved Alternative Security Programs.”

    This rule also amends § 105.130 to reflect changes in internal agency organization by updating Coast Guard office titles. The Coast Guard implemented its DCO 3.0 policy that changes office titles and internal organizational structure. The office reference in this paragraph has changed from “CG-54” to “CG-5P.” This section has been updated to reflect the new office designation as CG-5P.

    This rule amends § 105.200(b)(9) to remove a reference to a Web site that is no longer valid. In § 105.200(b)(9), the text refers to a link in which the Maritime Administration supplies the text of the treaties referred to in the paragraph. This Web site and the preceding sentence referring readers to the Web site are being removed because the Web site no longer exists.

    This rule amends the introductory paragraph to § 105.400 to make a non-substantive update to correct a Web site referenced in the text. The previous link no longer contains the information referenced. The new link provides information about how to submit a Facility Security Plan electronically as previously referenced in this section.

    This rule amends § 104.510(a)(2) by making a non-substantive revision clarifying the security programs that the paragraph refers to. Previously, this paragraph omitted the word “Alternative,” which is used consistently in subpart H. This paragraph is updated to refer to alternative options as “Approved Alternative Security Programs.”

    This rule amends § 106.410(a)(2) by making a non-substantive revision clarifying the security programs that the paragraph refers to. Previously, this paragraph omitted the word “Alternative,” which is used consistently in subpart H. This paragraph is updated to refer to alternative options as “Approved Alternative Security Programs.”

    This rule adds two paragraphs to § 110.155 that were incorrectly removed during a previous revision. These two paragraphs describe anchorage grounds that were incorrectly removed in a 2008 technical amendment to Title 33 (73 FR 34998). In that rule, this paragraph was amended to accurately identify coordinates using NAD 83. However, in processing this rule, the two anchorages that are the subject of this correction were incorrectly stricken. This rule adds those anchorages—Anchorage No. 38 and 39 back to § 110.115. Despite their incorrect removal from this section, these anchorages have remained in active use by mariners. These anchorages also remain charted in other publications.

    This rule amends § 114.01(b) by making non-substantive changes to accurately reflect the description of the regulations in the subchapter. Specifically, this rule removes text that says a description of forms exists in the subchapter. There are no forms associated with § 114.01, thus this rule removes the reference to forms in this section.

    This rule amends § 114.10 to make a non-substantive clarification to the text of this paragraph. The text in § 114.10 previously referenced bridge laws listed in § 114.01, however, that section does not identify bridge laws; it generally mentions them but goes no further. That reference to § 114.01 is being replaced with a reference to the authority section for part 114, where the relevant statutes and regulations are identified for the section.

    This rule amends §§ 114.25, 114.50, 115.60, and 115.70 by removing a superfluous citation. The previously-cited statute, 49 U.S.C. 1655(g), references a transfer of power from the U.S. Army to the Department of Transportation. Because the Coast Guard moved from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security, this delegation is no longer relevant. The delegation of authority to the Department of Homeland Security and the Coast Guard is now transferred through another statute.

    This rule amends §§ 116.10(c); 116.15 paragraphs (c) and (d); 116.20 paragraphs (a) and (b); 116.25(a); 116.30 table of contents and title, paragraphs (a), (d), (e), and (g); 116.35(c); 116.40 paragraphs (a), (b), and (c); 116.45(a); and 116.55 paragraphs (a) and (b) to reflect changes to rules of agency organization. The title “Administrator, Office of Bridge Programs” changed to “Chief, Office of Bridge Programs.” This rule updates this reference in the sections mentioned above.

    This rule amends § 117.35 to reflect changes to rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice. The language in this paragraph referring to the title of Federal Register notices that advise the public of deviations from drawbridge regulations is updated to “Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.” This change has no effect on the requirements of those notices, but adds the word “temporary” to the action heading in these notices.

    This rule amends § 117.393 to make a non-substantive change by updating addresses in this section. The Elgin, Joliet, and Eastern Railway bridge is now operated out of a location in Homewood, Illinois. This section is being updated to reflect that change of address.

    This rule amends § 117.425 to make a non-substantive change by updating the name of the bridge referenced in this paragraph. The bridge formerly known as the U.S. 90 bridge is now known as the U.S. 182 bridge. This section is being updated to reflect that name change.

    This rule amends § 117.585(a) to make a non-substantive change by updating the name of the bridge referenced in this paragraph. The bridge in this section is now known as the New Bedford-Fairhaven RT. 6 Bridge, mile 0.0. This section is being updated to reflect that name change.

    This rule amends § 117.997(c)(2)(ii) to correct a phone number. The phone number for the Gilmerton Bridge is now 757-485-5567.

    This rule amends §§ 133.5(c) and 136.9 to update citations within the regulation text. Previously, these paragraphs referred to Department of Transportation regulations in regard to regulations that apply to funds and sanctions. This rule updates those references to Department of Homeland Security regulations to correctly state the applicable regulations. These changes do not impose new regulations upon those affected by these sections.

    This rule amends § 138.45 to update contact phone numbers at the National Pollution Funds Center. These new phone numbers are being corrected to reflect a change in location of the National Pollution Funds Center.

    This rule amends portions of parts 148, 149, and 150 to correct non-substantive typographical errors and it makes changes to reflect updated rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice. The Coast Guard implemented its DCO 3.0 policy that changes office titles and internal organizational structure. The office references in these parts have been updated to reflect that (1) CG-5, CG-522, and CG-PSO are now known as CG-5P; and (2) CG-PSE is now known as CG-ENG. Additionally, the citations for statutes and regulations have been formatted for consistency within these parts. This rule also updates references to agencies that have Start Printed Page 39168changed names or acronyms since the promulgation of these regulations. This rule makes non-substantive corrections to these sections to comply with plain language guidelines. Further, this rule clarifies acronyms in some sections by spelling them out where necessary. This rule also updates outdated Web sites to provide current, working links. Because there are more than 350 changes encompassed in these three parts, a table showing each change is available in the docket for this technical amendment.

    This rule amends § 151.05 to make non-substantive edits to the text to remove a superfluous reference and provide order and consistency. The word “oily mixture” appears twice in the text, so the second reference is being removed. These definitions are being unified to avoid the confusion of duplicative definitions.

    This rule amends § 164.03 to update the address listed in the text. The address in the incorporation by reference section for the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services has changed. This rule updates the address to reflect the new address for the Commission.

    V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on these statutes or E.O.s.

    A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 (“Regulatory Planning and Review”) and 13563 (“Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review”) 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 (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. Two additional executive orders were recently published to promote the goals of E.O. 13563: E.O. 13609 (“Promoting International Regulatory Cooperation”) and E.O. 13610 (“Identifying and Reducing Regulatory Burdens”). Executive Order 13609 targets international regulatory cooperation to reduce, eliminate, or prevent unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements. Executive Order 13610 aims to modernize the regulatory systems and to reduce unjustified regulatory burdens and costs on the public.

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of E.O. 12866 as supplemented by E.O. 13563, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of E.O. 12866. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not reviewed it under E.O. 12866. Because this rule involves non-substantive changes and internal agency practices and procedures, it will not impose any additional costs on the public.

    B. Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), rules exempt from the notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act are not required to examine the impact of the rule on small entities. Nevertheless, we have considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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.

    There is no cost to this rule and we do not expect it to have an impact on small entities because the provisions of this rule are technical and non-substantive. It will have no substantive effect on the public and will impose no additional costs. Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

    C. Assistance for Small Entities

    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 so that they can better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please consult Mr. Paul Crissy by phone at 202-372-1093 or via email at Paul.H.Crissy@uscg.mil. 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.

    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).

    D. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

    E. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under E.O. 13132 (“Federalism”) if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under E.O. 13132 and have determined that it does not have implications for federalism.

    F. 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.

    G. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under E.O. 12630, (“Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights”).

    H. 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.

    I. 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 create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may disproportionately affect children.Start Printed Page 39169

    J. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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.

    K. Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under E.O. 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a “significant energy action” under that order because it is not a “significant regulatory action” under E.O. 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under E.O. 13211.

    L. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the OMB, with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies.

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

    M. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded 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 is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(a) and (b) of the Instruction. This rule involves regulations that are editorial, procedural, or concern internal agency functions or organizations. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
