    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        This rule removes an outdated certification date.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.
