[Docket No. USCG-2012-0919]
RIN 1625-AB83


Lifesaving Devices--Uninspected Commercial Barges and Sailing 
Vessels

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published a final rule in the Federal Register 
on September 10, 2014, requiring the use of wearable personal flotation 
devices for individuals on board uninspected non-passenger commercial 
barges and sailing vessels. In the final rule, the Coast Guard amended 
several tables to reflect this requirement. However, in a subsequent 
final rule regarding non-substantive changes, the Coast Guard removed 
the same tables in an effort to consolidate the regulations by 
referencing to a common table instead. The original final rule's 
amendatory instructions can no longer be amended as the tables were 
removed prior to the original final rule's effective date by the 
subsequent effective final rule. This correction removes the amendatory 
instructions in the original final rule for the affected tables.

DATES: This correction is effective on November 17, 2014.

correction, call or email Paul Crissy, Office of Standards Evaluation

Background

    The Coast Guard published a final rule in the Federal Register of 
September 10, 2014, (79 FR 53621), amending Tables 2.01-7(a), 24.05-
1(a), 30.01-5(d), 70.05-1(a), 90.05-1(a), and 188.05-1(a). The Coast 
Guard published a second final rule in the Federal Register of 
September 29, 2014, (79 FR 58270), removing Tables 24.05-1(a), 30.01-
5(d), 70.05-1(a), 90.05-1(a), and 188.05-1(a), making a reference back 
to Table 2.01-7(a) instead. This correction removes the amendatory 
instructions for Tables 24.05-1(a), 30.01-5(d), 70.05-1(a), 90.05-1(a), 
and 188.05-1(a) published on September 10, 2014.

Need for Correction

    The Coast Guard published two final rules in the Federal Register 
that created the need for this correction. The Coast Guard amended 
Tables 2.01-7(a), 24.05-1(a), 30.01-5(d), 70.05-1(a), 90.05-1(a), and 
188.05-1(a) on September 10, 2014, (79 FR 53621), which became 
effective on October 10, 2014. However, subsequently, in the Federal 
Register of September 29, 2014, (79 FR 58270), the Coast Guard removed 
Tables 24.05-1(a), 30.01-5(d), 70.05-1(a), 90.05-1(a), and 188.05-1(a), 
making reference instead to Table 2.01-7(a), which became effective on 
September 29, 2014. As a result of the effective dates, the removal of 
Tables 24.05-1(a), 30.01-5(d), 70.05-1(a), 90.05-1(a), and 188.05-1(a) 
occurred prior to the amendment of the same tables. As such, the Office 
of Federal Register could not make the amendments to the removed tables 
and instead placed an editorial note in the CFR noting this 
discrepancy. This correction removes the amendatory instructions 
published in the final rule of September 10, 2014, (79 FR 53621), so 
that the editorial note to the CFR can be removed.
    In FR Doc. 2014-21541, published on September 10, 2014, (79 FR 
53621), make the following corrections:
