33 CFR Part 165

[CGD01-04-133]
RIN 1625-AB17


Regulated Navigation Area; Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts; Navigable 
Waterways Within the First Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is making a technical correction to a Final 
Rule published in the Federal Register on December 13, 2007. (72 FR 
70780.) The Final Rule titled ``Regulated Navigation Area; Buzzards 
Bay, Massachusetts; Navigable Waterways within the First Coast Guard 
District'' contained an inaccurate amendatory instruction to revise an 
imprecise and potentially confusing cross references regarding the 
applicability of certain regulations implemented by the rule. The 
revised amendatory instruction provided in this correction is intended 
to implement the revision to Part 165 found in 72 FR 70780.

DATES: This correction is effective as of December 27, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public concerning 
this correction will be made part of the docket for the underlying rule 
and will be available for inspection and copying at the offices of 
Commander, Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England, East Providence 
Office, 20 Risho Avenue, East Providence, RI 02914, between 8 a.m. and 
3 p.m. Monday through Friday, except federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Edward G. LeBlanc at Coast Guard 
Sector Southeastern New England, East Providence, RI, 401-435-2351.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 13, 2008, the Coast Guard published a Final Rule titled 
``Regulated Navigation Area; Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts; Navigable 
Waterways within the First Coast Guard District'' to correct an 
existing Regulated Navigation Area (RNA) within the waters of the First 
Coast Guard District. (72 FR 70780). Specifically, the Final Rule 
corrected erroneous references to ``Subpart B of this chapter'' and 
``Subpart B of this part'' in Part 161 and Part 165, respectively. The 
references should have instead referred to ``Subpart B of Part 161'' in 
the revisions of both Part 161 and Part 165. The correction to Part 161 
has been made. However, the reference in Part 165 was not made due to 
an inaccurate amendatory instruction. The substantive requirements of 
the rule are not altered by this technical correction.

Need for Correction

    The Final Rule published on December 13, 2007 amended Parts 161 and 
165 of Title 33 of the Code of Regulations. (72 FR 70780.) As explained 
in the preamble, the Final Rule revised a previously published 
erroneous reference to ``Subpart B of this chapter'' and ``Subpart B of 
this part'' in Part 161 and Part 165, respectively, instead of 
referring to ``Subpart B of Part 161'' in the revisions of both Part 
161 and Part 165. The amendatory instruction for the Part 165 
correction erroneously directed the deletion of 33 CFR 
165.100(d)(5)(iv)(A)-(B) instead of only correcting the introductory 
text of 33 CFR 165.100(d)(5)(iv). This Final Rule corrects amendatory 
instruction 4 to revise the introductory text of 33 CFR 
165.100(d)(5)(iv) without deleting subparagraphs (A) and (B), which was 
the intent of the December 13, 2007 Final Rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, and Waterways.

For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33 
CFR part 165 as follows:

PART 165--WATERWAYS SAFETY; REGULATED NAVIGATION AREAS AND LIMITED 
ACCESS AREAS

    In the December 13, 2007 Federal Register, page 70780, amendatory 
instruction 4 is corrected to read as follows:
    ``4. In Sec.  165.100, revise (d)(5)(iv) introductory text to read 
as follows:''

    Dated: December 17, 2007.
