ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On December 1, 1999, the Coast Guard published a direct final 
rule [64 FR 67170]. This rule notified the public of our intent to 
amend Titles 33 and 46, Code of Federal Regulations, to render current 
the standards incorporated by reference from ASTM. We have not received 
an adverse comment, or notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, 
objecting to this rule. Therefore, this rule will go into effect as 
scheduled.

DATES: The direct final rule is, as we said it would be, effective on 
February 29, 2000. The incorporation by reference of publications in 
this rule was approved by the Director of the Federal Register to be 
effective on February 29, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions on this rule, call Ms. 
Janet Walton, Office of Standards, Evaluation and Development (G-MSR), 
U.S. Coast Guard, telephone 202-267-0257.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion of Comments

final rule. Therefore, this rule will go into effect as scheduled.
