Navigation and Navigable Waters--Technical Amendments, 
Organizational Changes, Miscellaneous Editorial Changes and Conforming 
Amendments; Delay of Effective Date for Certain Amendments Relating to 
the Marine Inspection Zones and Captain of the Port Zones for Hampton 
Roads and Wilmington (NC)

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date for certain amendments.

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

SUMMARY: We are revising the effective date of two sections of a 
technical amendments rule published June 18, 2002, that will become 
effective June 28, 2002. That rule makes technical and organizational 
amendments to Coast Guard navigation and navigable waters regulations. 
The two sections of the rule that revise the boundaries between Hampton 
Roads Marine Inspection/Captain of the Port Zone and the Wilmington 
Marine Inspection/Captain of the Port Zone, will not become effective 
until October 1, 2002. This rule changes the effective date for just 
those two sections.

DATES: The effective date for the revisions to 33 CFR 3.25-10(b) and 
3.25-20(b), published at 67 FR 41331, June 18, 2002, is delayed from 
June 28, 2002, until October 1, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule, 
call Robert Spears, Project Manager, Standards Evaluation and 
Development Division, (G-MSR-2), Coast Guard, at 202-267-1099. If you 
have questions on viewing, or submitting material to the docket, call 
Dorothy Beard, Chief, Dockets, Department of Transportation, at 202-
366-5149.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 18, 2002, in Volume 67 of Federal 
Register Number 117, pages 41329-41334, the Coast Guard published a 
final rule entitled ``Navigation and Navigable Waters--Technical 
Amendments, Organizational Changes, Miscellaneous Editorial Changes and 
Conforming Amendments.'' The final rule made editorial and technical 
changes throughout title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to 
update the title before recodification on July 1, 2002. The final rule 
updated organization names and addresses, and made conforming 
amendments and technical corrections.
    Two revisions changed the boundaries between the Hampton Roads 
Marine Inspection/Captain of the Port Zone (33 CFR 3.25-10(b)) and the 
Wilmington Marine Inspection/Captain of the Port Zone (33 CFR 3.25-
20(b)) (67 FR 41331). We anticipate that Coast Guard Marine Safety 
Office Wilmington will have a fully staffed, operation-ready detachment 
in place to serve the public in this new area of responsibility by 
September 2002. Therefore, we are making the revisions to 33 CFR 3.25-
10(b) and 33 CFR 3.25-20(b) effective October 1, 2002.

    Dated: June 21, 2002.
Joseph J. Angelo,
Director of Standards, Marine Safety, Security and Environmental 
Protection.
