Organization and Delegation of Powers and Duties; Transfer of
Delegation From Coast Guard to Saint Lawrence Seaway Development
Corporation
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; suspension of effectiveness.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule suspends the effectiveness of an interim final rule
published in the Federal Register on July 31, 1995, transferring from
the Coast Guard to the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation
responsibility for administering the Secretary's functions under the
Great Lakes Pilotage Act of 1960. The interim final rule became
effective October 30, 1995. The suspension of effectiveness is
necessary to allow the Department additional time to respond to
comments.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 30, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steven B. Farbman, Office of the Assistant General Counsel for
Regulation and Enforcement (202) 366-9306, United States Department of
Transportation, 400 7th Street SW., Washington, DC 20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 31, 1995, the Department of
Transportation published an interim final rule with request for
comments (60 FR 38971). The interim final rule contained language that
transferred delegation of Great Lakes Pilotage functions from the Coast
Guard to the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC). The
comment period for the interim final rule ended on September 29, 1995,
and specified an effective date of October 30, 1995.
Because additional time is needed to consider all the issues raised
in the comments, the effectiveness of the interim final rule is being
suspended until the Department concludes its review. The Department
expects to publish a document in the Federal Register responding to the
comments by November 30, 1995.
