Drug Traffickers and Possessors
AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amends Commission regulations to reflect the
redesignation of 21 U.S.C. 853a as 21 U.S.C. 862, which was effected by
Public Law 101-647. No substantive change is involved.

Capitol Street, NW, Room 1046, Washington, D.C. 20573-0001, (202) 523-
5725.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Commission regulations at 46 CFR 502.27 and
510.12 contain requirements for applicants for admission to practice
before the Commission and for a freight forwarders license to submit a
certification regarding non-conviction for drug offenses and
eligibility for federal benefits. The prescribed certification includes
a reference to ``21 U.S.C. 853a.'' Subsequent to adoption of these
rules 21 U.S.C. 853a was redesignated as 21 U.S.C. 862 by Public Law
101-647, 104 Stat. 4827. This document merely changes the references in
