Facilities Transferring Oil or Hazardous Materials in Bulk

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Correction to final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On August 8, 1996, the Coast Guard published a final rule 
revising the regulations covering facilities transferring oil or 
hazardous materials in bulk. Following issuance of the final rule, the 
Coast Guard received comments expressing confusion over the definition 
of ``marine transfer area'' in the final rule. Because the intent was 
to update and clarify the current regulations, and the public has 
concerns about the clarity of this definition, the Coast Guard is 
correcting the definition of ``marine transfer area''.

DATES: This regulation becomes effective on February 5, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Commander John W. Farthing, 
Office of Compliance, (202) 267-0505.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Accordingly, page 41458 of the final rule 
published on August 8, 1996 (61 FR 41452), first column, in the text of 
Sec. 154.105, in the definition of ``Marine transfer area'' line 8, the 
words ``around the bulk storage tank'' are deleted and at line 9, the 
words ``or 49 CFR 195.264'' are added immediately following the words 
``40 CFR 112.7'' and immediately before the word ``inland''.

    Dated: January 15, 1997.
J.C. Card,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety 
and Environmental Protection.
