ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This rule amends Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations to reflect recent agency organizational changes. It also makes editorial changes throughout the title to correct addresses, update cross- references, remove obsolete regulatory provisions, and make other technical corrections. This rule will have no substantive effect on the regulated public. EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on June 30, 1996. ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated, documents referred to in this preamble are available for inspection or copying at the office of the Executive Secretary, Marine Safety Council (G-LRA/3406). U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street SW., room 3406, Washington, DC 20593-0001 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The telephone number is (202) 267-1477. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janet Walton, Project Manager, Office of Standards Evaluation and Development (G-MSR-2), (202) 267-0257. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background and Purpose Each year Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is recodified on July 1. This rule makes miscellaneous editorial changes and conforming amendments, including changes brought about by the Coast Guard Headquarters reorganization, to be included in the 1996 recodification of Title 33. Discussion of Changes Coast Guard Headquarters recently went through a comprehensive streamlining and reorganization. The substantive functions it performs are essentially unchanged; however, many functions have been consolidated. This rule reflects the redistribution of functions and responsibilities due to the reorganization. The rule also makes editorial changes throughout the title to correct addresses, update cross-references, and make other technical corrections. Sections 157.03, 159.3, 181.3, and 183.3 are being reformatted by reorganizing the definitions into alphabetical order and removing paragraph designators. Section 165.T01-005 expired on May 1, 1994 and section 165.702 expired on December 31, 1991. These regulations are no longer needed and are being removed. In addition the safety zone in Sec. 165.1112 was originally established to protect Navy cables and equipment on the ocean floor which could have been damaged by anchoring, fishing, and similar activities. The Navy equipment has been removed and this safety zone is no longer required and is being removed. Since this amendment relates to departmental management; organization; procedure; and practice, notice and comment on it are unnecessary and it may be made effective in fewer than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Therefore, this final rule is effective June 30, 1996. Regulatory Evaluation This rule 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 11040, February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard expects 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. This rule involves internal agency practices and procedures, it will not impose any costs on the public. Collection of Information This rule contains no collection-of-information requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Federalism The Coast Guard has analyzed this rule under the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 12612 and has determined that this rule does not have significant federalism implications [[Page 33661]] to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment. Environment The Coast Guard considered the environmental impact of this rule and concluded that under paragraph 2.B.2 of Commandant Instruction M16475.1B, this rule is categorically excluded from further environmental documentation. This exclusion is in accordance with paragraphs 2.B.2.e.(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 for inspection or copying where indicated under ADDRESSES.

Boat means any vessel manufactured or used primarily for noncommercial use; leased, or rented, or chartered to another for the latter's noncommercial use; or engaged in the carrying of six or fewer passengers. Date of certification means the date on which a boat or item of associated equipment is certified to comply with all applicable U.S. Coast Guard safety standards in effect on that date. Date of manufacture means the month and year during which construction or assembly of a boat or item of associated equipment begins. Manufacturer means any person engaged in: (1) The manufacture, construction, or assembly of boats or associated equipment; or (2) The importation into the United States for sale of boats, associated equipment, or components thereof.

PART 183--BOATS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT 119. The authority citation for part 183 continues to read as follows: Authority: 46 U.S.C. 4302; 49 CFR 1.46. 120. In Section 183.3 the definitions are revised to read as follows: Sec. 183.3 Definitions. Beam means the transverse distance between the outer sides of the boat excluding handles, and other similar fittings, attachments, and extensions. Boat means any vessel manufactured or used primarily for noncommercial use; leased, rented, or chartered to another for the latter's noncommercial use; or engaged in the carrying of six or fewer passengers. Full transom means a transom with a maximum width which exceeds one-half the maximum beam of the boat. [[Page 33670]] Length means the straight line horizontal measurement of the overall length from the foremost part of the boat to the aftermost part of the boat, measured from end to end over the deck excluding sheer, and measured parallel to the centerline. Bow sprits, bumpkins, rudders, outboard motor brackets, handles, and other similar fittings, attachments, and extensions are not included in the measurement. Monohull boat means a boat on which the line of intersection of the water surface and the boat at any operating draft forms a single closed curve. For example, a catamaran, trimaran, or a pontoon boat is not a monohull boat. Motorwell means any arrangement of bulkheads or structures that prevents water from entering the passenger carrying area of the boat through any cutout area in the transom for mounting an outboard motor. Motorwell height means the vertical distance from the lowest point of water ingress along the top of the motorwell to a line representing a longitudinal extension of the centerline of the boat's bottom surface, excluding keels. This distance is measured as a projection on the centerline plane of the boat. See Figure 183.3. Permanent appurtenances means equipment that is mounted or fastened, so that it is not removable without the use of tools. Seats, inboard engines, windshields, helm stations, or hardtops are permanent appurtenances. Outboard motors, controls, batteries, and portable fuel tanks are not permanent appurtenances. Remote steering means any mechanical assist device which is rigidly attached to the boat and used in steering the vessel, including but not limited to mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical control systems. Sailboat means a boat designed or intended to use sails as the primary means of propulsion. Sheer means the topmost line in a boat's side. The sheer intersects the vertical centerline plane of the boat at the forward end and intersects the transom (stern) at the aft end. For the purposes of this definition, the topmost line in a boat's side is the line defined by a series of points of contact with the boat structure, by straight lines at 45 degree angles to the horizontal and contained in a vertical plane normal to the outside edge of the boat as seen from above and which are brought into contact with the outside of the horizontal boat. A boat is horizontal when it is transversely level and when the lowest points at 40 percent and 75 percent of the boat's length behind the most forward point of the boat are level. Transom means the surface at the stern of a boat projecting or facing aft. The upper boundary of the transom is the line defined by a series of points of contact, with the boat structure, by straight lines at 45 degree angles to the horizontal and contained in a vertical longitudinal plane and which are brought into contact with the stern of the horizontal boat. A boat is horizontal when it is transversely level and when the lowest points at 40 percent and 75 percent of the boat's length behind the most forward point of the boat are level. Vessel includes every description of watercraft, other than a seaplane on the water, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on the water. * * * * * Sec. 183.5 [Amended] 121.
