SUMMARY: In the final rule with this same title published September 26,

that owners or operators of waterfront facilities desiring to handle 
packaged and bulk-solid dangerous cargo must post warning signs 
constructed and installed according to National Fire

[[Page 4241]]

Protection Association (NFPA) 307, chapter 7-8.7. OMB has since 
approved that collection of information and the portion of the rule 
with this requirement will become effective March 1, 2004.

DATES: 33 CFR 126.15(a)(3), as published September 26, 2003 (68 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 126.15(a)(3) of title 33 Code of

designated waterfront facilities to post warning signs. Posting of 
warning signs is a collection of information under OMB control no. 
1625-0016 (Formerly 2115-0054). The final rule that contained the 
provisions on warning signs was published in the Federal Register on 
September 26, 2003 (68 FR 55436), and is available electronically 
through the docket (USCG-1998-4302) web site at http://dms.dot.gov. It 
became effective on October 27, 2003, with the exception of 33 CFR 
126.15(a)(3).
    As required by 44 U.S.C. 3507(d), we submitted a copy of the final 
rule to OMB for its review on October 6, 2003. On November 17, 2003, 
after reviewing the rule, OMB approved the collection of information 
required by this final rule under OMB control no. 1625-0016.
