Technical Amendments; Organizational Changes; Miscellaneous 
Editorial Changes and Conforming Amendments

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule makes editorial and technical changes throughout 
title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to update the title 
before it is recodified on October 1, 2000. It corrects addresses, 
updates cross-references, makes conforming amendments, and makes other 
technical corrections. This rule will have no substantive effect on the 
regulated public.

DATES: This final rule is effective September 30, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Documents as indicated in this preamble are available for 
inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility [USCG-2000-
7790], U.S. Department of Transportation, room PL-401, 400 Seventh 
Street SW., Washington, DC, 20590-0001, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., 
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. You may also find this 
docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion of the Rule

    Each year Title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations is recodified 
on October 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.
    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this 
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good 
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. This rule consists only of 
corrections and editorial and conforming amendments to title 46 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations. These changes will have no substantive 
effect on the public and publishing an NPRM and providing an 
opportunity for public comment is unnecessary. Under 5 U.S.C. 
553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that, for the same reasons, good cause 
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register.

Sections 25.45-2, 121.240, and 184.240

    Because the posting instructions for these sections are contained 
in the material incorporated by reference, and not ``highlighted'' in 
the CFR, we are adding a note at the end of each section to reflect 
that.

Sections 30.10-22, 30.10-59, 32.20-10, 34.10-15, 35.10-3, 35.25-10, 
39.20-9, 54.05-5, 54.05-20, 54.25-10, 54.25-20, 56.07-10, 56.10-5, 
56.25-20, 56.30-10, 56.50-60, 56.50-105, 56.60-15, 56.60-25, 58.16-5, 
58.30-15, 76.10-10, 78.17-75, 95.10-10, 97.15-55, 97.36-1, 105.10-15, 
108.427, 109.563, 110.15-1, 114.400, 116.405, 116.422, 116.423, 
128.310, 151.15-3, 153.365, 153.940, 160.032-3, 160.035-3, 160.055-3, 
160.076-25, 160.077-11, 160.077-19, 160.151-21, 160.171-17, 160.174-17, 
160.176-8, 160.176-13, 161.002-4, 170.270, 174.100, 175.400, 193.10-10, 
and 199.175

    On December 1, 1999, the Coast Guard published a Direct Final Rule, 
Update of Standards from the American Society for Testing and Materials 
(ASTM) [USCG-1999-5151] (64 FR 67170). On March 1, 2000, we published a 
confirmation of effective date for the rule (65 FR 10943). That rule 
did not revise the CFR sections where the standard numbers did not 
contain a year date. We are now adding to those sections a cross-
reference back to the incorporation by reference section in each part.

Sections 118.410 and 181.410

    We are revising Secs. 118.410 and 181.410 by changing the first 
sentence in paragraph (f)(4)(v), in both instances, to conform to 
language that currently appears in Sec. 95.15-5(d)(7). We are removing 
the words ``The area of each discharge outlet'' and adding, in their 
place, the words ``The total area of all discharge outlets.'' This 
change makes the sentence technically correct and consistent with the 
requirements in our other subchapters.

Sections 119.422, 128.420, 128.430, 169.608, and 182.422

    The Coast Guard was petitioned to remove a word combination that 
forms a company trademark that currently appears in these sections. We 
are removing the words ``grid cooler'' and adding in their place the 
words ``non-integral keel cooler'' where they appear.

Section 199.610

    We are revising Table 199.610(c) by changing the table entry under 
``Oceans'' at the ``199.262(a): Rescue boats'' line to read ``(2 and 
3)''. We are making this change to clarify that the conditions in both 
notes 2 and 3 must be met for the exemption to apply.

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). 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 calls 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 Executive Order 13132 and have 
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism 
under that Order.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) 
governs 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

[[Page 58456]]

incur direct costs without the Federal Government's having first 
provided the funds to pay those costs. This rule will 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 Executive Order 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 Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, 
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 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.
