Removal of Obsolete and Unnecessary Regulations
Agency: Coast Guard, DOT.
Action: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations for both
inspected and uninspected commercial vessels by removing and revising
obsolete and unnecessary provisions. The Coast Guard expects that these
amendments will reduce administrative burden to government and
industry, reduce government costs, and provide a more concise and
useful Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 10, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to the Executive Secretary, Marine
Safety Council (G-LRA/3406) (CGD 95-012), U.S. Coast Guard
Headquarters, 2100 Second Street SW., Washington, DC 20593-0001 or may
be delivered to room 3406, at the same address, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The telephone number is
(202) 267-1477.
The Executive Secretary maintains the public docket for this
rulemaking. Comments will become part of this docket and will be
available for inspection or copying at room 3406, U.S. Coast Guard
Headquarters, between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LCDR R.K. Butturini, Engineering
Branch, Marine Technical and Hazardous Materials Division, Office of
Marine Safety, Security, and Environmental Protection, (202) 267-2206.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments
The Coast Guard encourages interested persons to participate in
this rulemaking by submitting written data, views, or arguments.
Persons submitting comments should include their names and addresses,
identify this rulemaking (CGD 95-012) and the specific section of this
proposed rule to which each comment applies, and give the reason for
each comment. Please submit two copies of all comments and attachments
in an unbound format, no larger than 8\1/2\ by 11 inches, suitable for
copying and electronic filing. Persons wanting acknowledgment of
receipt of comments should enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard
or envelope.
The Coast Guard will consider all comments received during the
comment period. It may change this proposal in view of the comments.
In the March 30, 1995 Federal Register (59 FR 16423), the Coast
Guard announced it would hold a public meeting on April 20, 1995 to
discuss Coast Guard regulations and the regulatory process. Any
relevant comments received at the hearing or by the May 1, 1995
deadline for written comments will be considered for the changes
included in this document. The Coast Guard plans no other public
meeting for this docket. Persons may request a public hearing by
writing to the Marine Safety Council at the address under ADDRESSES.
The request should include the reasons why a public meeting would be
beneficial. If the Coast Guard determines that the opportunity for oral
presentations will aid this rulemaking, it will hold a public meeting
at a time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal
Register.
Drafting Information. The principal persons involved in drafting
this proposed rule are LCDR R.K. Butturini, Project Manager, and Ms.
Pam Pelcovits, Project Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel.
Background and Purpose
On March 4, 1995, the President issued a memorandum calling on
executive agencies to review regulations with the goals of: (1) Cutting
obsolete regulations; (2) focusing on results instead of process and
punishment; (3) convening meetings with the regulated community; and
(4) expanding efforts to promote consensual rulemaking.
As part of a continuing review of its regulatory program, the Coast
Guard is examining alternative compliance methods and ways to make
existing regulations more efficient. This approach is consistent with
the ongoing National Performance Review effort aimed, in part, at
making government regulations more concise and easier to use. As a
first step, the purpose of this proposed rule is to remove or revise
some regulations that the Coast Guard has found to be obsolete and
unnecessary.
In compiling the list of CFR sections included in this proposed
rule, the Coast Guard did not consider parts of 46 CFR that are under
review as part of ongoing regulatory projects. Additional rulemaking
projects are expected to adopt accepted industry standards and remove
other obsolete or unnecessary Coast Guard standards and to solicit
public comment on additional provisions which should be modified or
eliminated. Sections were identified for revision or removal for the
following reasons:
(a) Regulations include citation to a long-passed compliance date.
(b) Vessels or equipment covered under certain regulations have
become impractical due to social or economic changes.
(c) Equipment is no longer manufactured or used.
(d) Requirements are repeated in another section.
(e) Authority citations have been repealed or revoked.
(f) The text of the regulation merely repeats statutory language.
Discussion of Rules
The following discussion summarizes the changes in this proposed
rule.
1. Passed compliance dates. The following regulations are being
removed or revised because they include a reference to a compliance
date which has passed. For example, Sec. 25.40-1(c) states that
modifications for the purposes of complying with ventilation
requirements must be completed by June 1, 1966.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sec. 25.40-1(c)............................ Removed.......................... Motorboat ventilation.
Sec. 28.110(a)............................. Date removed..................... Life preservers.
Sec. 28.115(a)............................. Date removed..................... Ring life buoys.
Sec. 28.135(a)............................. Date removed..................... Lifesaving equipment markings.

Sec. 28.240(a)............................. Date removed..................... General alarm systems.
Sec. 28.270(c)............................. Date removed..................... Instructions, drills, and safety
orientation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Impractical vessels, equipment, or arrangements. Some sections
are being removed or revised because they apply to vessels or equipment
that have become impractical due to changes in the world economy or
social values. For example, most of the listed regulations address
nuclear-powered vessels, facilities and ships intended for energy
production from differences in seawater temperature, and vessels
intended to incinerate waste at sea. However, none of these types of
vessels or facilities are currently operating, and construction is not
likely in the foreseeable future.
Another regulation that is proposed for removal covers steerage
passengers. The Steerage Passenger Act of 1882 (ch. 374, 22 Stat. 186
(1882)) established accommodation requirements for steerage passengers.
Steerage passengers historically were passengers paying the lowest
fares for the poorest accommodations. The Steerage Act was written
primarily for the safety of immigrants travelling by sea to the United
States. The Act was repealed by Congress in 1983 by passage of an act
which revised, consolidated, and enacted provisions of Subtitle II of
46 U.S.C. (Pub. L. 98-89, 97 Stat. 500), and separate regulations
addressed to carriage of steerage passengers are no longer necessary.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Equipment no longer manufactured or used. Section 35.30-5(c),
which pertains to maintaining galley fires, is being removed because it
addresses equipment that is no longer manufactured or used.
4. Repeated provisions. These regulations are being removed because
the requirements are repeated in other, more logical locations in Title
46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). For example, requirements
for carriage of vinyl chloride monomer are contained in 46 CFR Part 40,
Special Construction, Arrangement, and Other Provisions for Carrying
Certain Flammable or Combustible Dangerous Cargoes in Bulk. More up-to-
date requirements are also located in Sec. 151.50-34 of 46 CFR
Subchapter O, Certain Bulk Dangerous Cargoes. Sections 56.50-101 and
56.50-102 are unnecessary references to refrigeration and liquefied
petroleum gas piping systems discussed in detail in 46 CFR Part 58,
Main and Auxiliary Machinery and Related Systems.
The citation to the regulations where the repeated requirements are
being retained is indicated in square brackets below the section being
removed.

Sec. 154.1745 [Sec. 151.50-34]............. Revised.......................... Requirements for vinyl chloride.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Outdated authority citations. The authority citations for parts
25, 31, 35, 54, 56, 71, 72, 78, 91, 97, 174, 188 and 189 are being
updated because they either cite statutory provisions which have been
repealed or an executive order which has been revoked. Specifically, 46
U.S.C. 4104 and 5115 were repealed on November 16, 1990 (Pub. L. 101-
595; 104 Stat. 2993) and E.O. 11735 was revoked by E.O. 12777 (56 FR
54757, 3 CFR, 1991 Comp., p. 351).
6. Statutory language repeated. The regulatory text of the
following provisions repeats the statutory language without any
additional regulatory provisions. Regulations which do not add to self-
executing statutes are not useful. Therefore, the regulations which
only repeat statutory language are being removed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sec. 35.01-30.............................. Removed.......................... Reckless or negligent operation.
Sec. 78.30-30.............................. Removed.......................... Reckless or negligent operation.
Sec. 97.27-10.............................. Removed.......................... Reckless or negligent operation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposal is not a significant regulatory action under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and does not 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 11034;
February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this
proposal to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Assessment is
unnecessary.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the
Coast Guard must consider the economic impact on small entities of a
rule for which a general notice of proposed rulemaking is required.
``Small entities'' may include (1) small businesses and not-for-profit
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields and (2) governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000.
This proposed rule will have no economic impact on small entities
because it amends portions of regulations that: (1) Are purely
administrative; (2) do not reflect common marine industry practice; (3)
apply to vessels that no longer exist; or, (4) are repeated in other
sections. Accordingly, no specific efforts were made to eliminate or
reduce the economic impact on small entities.
Therefore, the Coast Guard finds that this proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. If, however, you think that your business or organization
qualifies as a small entity and that this rule will have a significant
economic impact on your business or organization, please submit a
comment (see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and in
what way and to what degree this proposed rule will economically affect
it.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule imposes on the public no new or added
requirements for collecting information under the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Federalism
The Coast Guard has analyzed this proposed rule in accordance with
the principles and criteria of Executive Order 12612 and has determined
that this rule does not have sufficient implications for federalism to
warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Environment
The Coast Guard has considered the environmental impact of this
proposed rule and concluded that, under section 2.B.2.c of Commandant
Instruction M16475.1B, this rule is categorically excluded from further
environmental documentation. A Categorical Exclusion Determination is
available in the docket for inspection or copying where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
