2014-23251. Navigation and Navigable Waters; Technical, Organizational, and Conforming Amendments

AGENCY:

Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION:

Correcting amendment.

SUMMARY:

The Coast Guard published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 7, 2014, making non-substantive corrections throughout Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations. In that final rule, the Coast Guard revised a paragraph because it duplicated the substance of another paragraph within the same section of an existing regulation. In correcting that error, the Coast Guard inadvertently removed four paragraphs from its regulations. This correction resolves that error by replacing the four paragraphs that we inadvertently removed.

DATES:

This correction is effective on September 30, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

If you have questions on this final rule, call or email Paul Crissy, Office of Standards Evaluation and Development, Coast Guard; telephone [phone], email [e-mail]. If you have questions on viewing material on the docket, call Cheryl Collins, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone [phone].

Background

On July 7, 2014, the Coast Guard published its annual technical amendment to make non-substantive changes to Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations. 79 FR 38422.

Need for Correction

The Coast Guard published a final rule in the Federal Register that created the need for this correction. In that final rule, the Coast Guard revised 33 CFR 80.712 because paragraphs (a) and (b) described the same demarcation line for Stono Inlet. The Coast Guard corrected § 80.712 by redesignating paragraph (a) as paragraph (b), and revising paragraph (a) to reflect the latitude and longitude coordinates for the demarcation line across Lighthouse Inlet. Our amendatory instruction, however, resulted in the inadvertent removal of paragraphs (c) through (f) in § 80.712. This correction restores the original paragraphs (c) through (f) in § 80.712.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 80
