SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 14, 2014, the Coast Guard published a final rule that 
added the waiver of citizenship requirements for crewmembers on 
commercial fishing vessels. 79 FR 8864. The final rule delayed the 
effective dates of 46 CFR 28.1105 and 28.1110 because these sections 
contain collection-of-information provisions that require approval by 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. On March 21, 2016, the OMB approved 
the collection, ``Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety 
Regulations,'' and assigned OMB Control Number 1625-0061. Accordingly, 
we announce that 46 CFR 28.1105 and 28.1110 are effective December 23, 
2019.
    This document is issued under the authority of 46 U.S.C. 
8103(b)(3)(C).

    Dated: November 15, 2019.
R.V. Timme,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Prevention 
Policy.
