I. Regulatory History

    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this 
rule. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A) and (b)(B), we find that this rule is 
exempt from notice and comment rulemaking requirements because these 
changes involve rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice. 
In addition, good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM for all 
revisions in the rule because the revisions are all non-substantive 
changes. This rule consists only of corrections and editorial, 
organizational, and conforming amendments. These changes will have no 
substantive effect on the public; therefore, it is unnecessary to 
publish an NPRM. 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 
upon publication in the Federal Register.

II. Background

    Each year the printed edition of Title 46 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations is recodified on October 1. This rule, which becomes 
effective September 29,

[[Page 59998]]

2010, makes technical and editorial corrections throughout Title 46. 
This rule does not create any substantive requirements.

III. Discussion of Rule

    This rule revises 46 Part 1 by deleting all references to 
``Assessment, Integration and Risk Management Directorate (CG-51),'' as 
this directorate no longer exists.
    This rule revises 46 Part 1 by deleting all references to ``Office 
of Waterways Management (CG-541),'' as this office no longer exists.
    This rule revises 46 Part 1 by adding a reference to the ``Office 
of International and Domestic Port Security (CG-541).'' This new office 
was created under the existing Prevention Policy Directorate (CG-54).
    This rule revises 46 Part 1 by adding a reference to ``Marine 
Transportation Systems Management Directorate (CG-55).'' This new 
directorate was created to manage the Coast Guard's portfolio of 
waterways management programs and assets and will coordinate Coast 
Guard activities to promote development of national and international 
consensus on waterways, management policies, goals, objectives, and 
strategies.
    In addition, this rule revises 46 Part 1 by adding references to 
``Office of Bridge Programs (CG-551),'' ``Office of Marine 
Transportation Systems (CG-552),'' and ``Office of Navigation Systems 
(CG-553).'' These new offices were created under the Marine 
Transportation Systems Management Directorate (CG-55).
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 2 by eliminating the requirement that 
an inspector must complete and submit ``Form CG-858, Certificate of 
Inspections Amendment,'' to amend a vessel's Certificate of Inspection. 
The paragraph will clarify that the original Certificate of Inspection 
may be amended and re-issued with the original renewal date pending 
approval of the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 2 by removing references to a Letter 
of Compliance and to a Tank Vessel Examination Letter and replacing 
them with a reference to a Certificate of Compliance. Letters of 
Compliance and Tank Vessel Examination Letters are no longer issued, 
and were combined to form Certificates of Compliance in the mid-1990s. 
It also clarifies the office and the appropriate chain of command for 
actions regarding vessel fees.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 2 by clarifying the chain-of-command 
procedure in various instances without making changes to the chain of 
command.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 2 to add that a credit card or wire 
transfer is an acceptable form of payment for all fees required by 
subpart 2.10.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 2 to update the address for mailing a 
payment made by check for vessel inspection and to add a new address 
for mailing a payment using a credit card.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 2 to remove ``midperiod'' and add, in 
its place, ``annual and periodic'' to more accurately describe the 
period between inspections.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 7 by correcting grammatical errors.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 9 to remove ``steamship,'' as this is 
an outdated term which is no longer used to describe vessels.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 10 to correct a table titled ``Table 
10.215(a)--Medical and Physical Requirements for Mariner Endorsement,'' 
in which four pieces of data are located in the wrong columns.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 28 to update the delegation of 
authority from the Secretary of Transportation to the Secretary of 
Homeland Security in an instance where it had not already been changed.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Parts 31 and 70 to capitalize the word 
``office'' in ``Office of the Commandant.''
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 54 to remove a redundant paragraph 
and replace it with the paragraph originally intended. The 2009 CFR 
included similar paragraphs describing the pressure measurement 
restrictions for condensers and heat exchangers eligible for exemption 
from shop inspection. This rule removes the less specific, earlier 
version of the paragraph at Sec.  54.01-15(a)(5) and leaves the more 
recently updated version of the paragraph, redesignating it as Sec.  
54.01-15(a)(5) from Sec.  54.01-15(a)(4). This rule returns the 
original paragraph at Sec.  54.01-15(a)(4) regarding Class I, II, and 
III pressure vessels, to its intended place. The original paragraph was 
present in the 2008 CFR but erroneously omitted from the 2009 
publication.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 129 to replace the word ``part'' with 
the word ``subchapter'' where ``subchapter'' is intended.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 150 to correct a table with 
mislabeled footnotes.
    This rule revises 46 CFR Part 154 to remove a redundant section at 
Sec.  154.30.
    This rule corrects 46 CFR Part 177 to make the metric value of 15 
feet accurate. The section currently lists the metric value of 15 feet 
at 3.8 meters. This rule changes the metric value to 4.572 meters in 
every instance, ensuring consistency between the values when expressed 
in both metric and imperial units.
    This rule updates various addresses for Coast Guard offices 
throughout Title 46 so that they conform to new mailing addresses and 
mailing address formats that came into use on June 15, 2009. This rule 
also updates internal Coast Guard office designators, as well as 
certain organizational titles, throughout Title 46. Changes in 
organizational titles included in this rule are only technical 
revisions reflecting changes in agency procedure and organization, and 
do not indicate new authorities.
    Throughout Title 46, this rule removes all references to Loran 
towers and coordinates, which are no longer in use, and changes all 
references to Search and Rescue Transponders (SARTs) to Search and 
Rescue Transmitters (SARTs), as transponders are no longer in use.
    This rule updates various citations to the CFR that were overlooked 
in past revisions of Title 46.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and 
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses 
based on 12 of these statutes or executive orders.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. The Office of 
Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. Because 
this rule involves non-substantive changes and addresses internal 
agency practices and procedures, it will not impose additional costs on 
the public.

B. Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities'' 
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are 
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, 
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    We estimate that this rule will not impose additional costs and 
should have little or no impact on small entities because the 
provisions of this rule are technical and non-substantive. Therefore, 
the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this final rule

[[Page 59999]]

will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.

C. 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).

D. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, 
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local 
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial 
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under 
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for 
federalism.

E. 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 discretionary 
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may 
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in 
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for 
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in 
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere 
in this preamble.

F. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental 
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property 
Rights.

G. 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.

H. 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 create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may 
disproportionately affect children.

I. 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.

J. 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. The Administrator of the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy 
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects 
under Executive Order 13211.

K. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards 
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, 
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why 
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or 
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical 
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or 
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management 
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus 
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not 
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

L. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security 
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which 
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded 
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not 
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human 
environment. This rule is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2, 
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(a) of the Instruction. This rule involves 
regulations that are editorial and procedural, such as those updating 
addresses or establishing application procedures. An environmental 
analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are 
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
