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    This rule removes an outdated certification date.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.
