SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion of the Rule

    Each year, title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 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. 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, editorial changes, and conforming amendments to 46 CFR, 
chapters I and III. These changes will have no substantive effect on 
the public so 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. Editorial changes that involve more than simply correcting 
erroneous letters or numbers--or a change of address--are discussed 
individually in the following paragraphs.

Parts 1 and 10

    This rule adds the Director of Waterways Management (G-MW), to the 
Code of Federal Regulations, and it updates the distribution of 
functions assigned to several offices.

Parts 28, 35, 78, 97, 131, 167, and 196

    In these parts, this rule updates information on obtaining nautical 
charts and publications by inserting references to the National Imagery 
and Mapping Agency.

Part 30

    Since 1973, this section has referenced SOLAS 60. On July 26, 1990, 
a rulemaking titled ``Replacement of References to SOLAS 60 With SOLAS 
74'' (55 FR 30658) was published to amend, among other things, this 
section and three other similar sections of title 46 (Secs. 70.05-10, 
90.05-10, and 188.05-10). All four amendatory instructions (# 11, 23, 
32, and 68) were supposed to make the same change in the regulatory 
text of these four sections. They all should have read ``Section * * * 
is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and (ii) to read as 
follows:''.
    However, amendatory instruction # 11 in that rulemaking erroneously 
read ``Section 30.01-6 is amended by revising paragraph (a) to read as 
follows:''. The instruction resulted in the deletion of paragraph 
(a)(2)(iii). This rule now corrects paragraph (a) by adding back the 
deleted language.

Part 32

    On September 30, 1997, a rulemaking titled ``Harmonization With 
International Safety Standards'' (62 FR 51188) was published to amend, 
among other things, subpart 32.53. The Coast Guard determined that 
applicable SOLAS provisions regarding inert gas systems were equivalent 
to current Coast Guard regulations in terms of safety and operating 
requirements. Therefore, the Coast Guard incorporated SOLAS Chapter II-
2 Regulation 62, containing the SOLAS requirements for inert gas 
systems, by reference in subpart 32.53 and removed Secs. 32.53-15 
through 32.53-85, which duplicate SOLAS requirements. The result was 
that Sec. 32.53-5 now incorrectly references Sec. 32.53-30, which was 
removed. This rule removes the incorrect cross-reference.

Parts 161, 162 and 401

    This rule makes changes in these parts to reflect changes in the 
functional responsibilities for sections in these parts.

Part 199

    This rule removes and reserves an obsolete paragraph, 46 CFR 
199.620(m), and deletes an obsolete reference in a table.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not 
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not 
reviewed it 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

[[Page 48618]]

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, 
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) 
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their regulatory 
actions not specifically required by law. In particular, the Act 
addresses actions that may result in the expenditure of $100 million or 
more in any one year by a State, local, or tribal government, in the 
aggregate, or by the private sector. Though this rule will not result 
in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule 
elsewhere in this preamble.

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 safety that may disproportionately 
affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, 
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more 
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and 
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant 
energy action'' under that Order because it is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to 
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use 
of energy. It has not been designated by the Administrator of the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy 
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects 
under Executive Order 13211.

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.lD, 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.
