SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 9, 2015, a Final Rule took 
effect significantly amending the Federal Maritime Commission's 
regulations governing Ocean Transportation Intermediaries (OTIs). The 
Final Rule was published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2015, 
80 FR 68721. A section of the regulations in place prior to the Final 
Rule, 46 CFR 515.17, (``Application after revocation or denial''), was 
inadvertently deleted when the Final Rule was published. This 
correction re-inserts the section content at 46 CFR 515.18, and moves 
another section's content to section 515.17 so that the regulations are 
in the proper order.
    This correction also fixes three minor typographical errors that 
were created in the course of production of the Code of Federal 
Regulations in 46 CFR 515.42 and Appendix D to part 515.

List of Subjects in 46 CFR Part 515
