II. Background Information, Legal 
Authority, and Discussion of Change 
On February 26, 2018, the Coast 
Guard published an interim final rule with request for comments entitled ‘‘Harmonization of Fire Protection Equipment Standards for Towing Vessels’’ in the Federal Register (83 FR 8175). We received no comments. This final rule adopts the interim final rule, with one change. For a detailed description of the regulations finalized by this final rule, see the preamble of the interim final rule (83 FR 8175, February 28, 2018). 
The Coast Guard may regulate fire 
protection equipment on inspected towing vessels under the statutory authority found in 46 U.S.C. 3301 and 3306, which was delegated by the Secretary of Homeland Security to the Coast Guard in DHS Delegation Number 0170.1(II)(92). The interim final rule harmonized fire protection equipment requirements regarding portable and semi-portable fire extinguishers on inspected towing vessels with the requirements for other commercial vessels in Title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), including uninspected towing vessels. 
Prior to the publication of the interim 
final rule, inspected towing vessels were subject to older, less modern fire protection regulations for fire extinguishers than uninspected towing 
vessels and other commercial vessels. The interim final rule corrected the inconsistent situation where a towing vessel transitioning from uninspected to inspected status would be required to comply with the previous standards instead of the newer standards. The interim final rule provided uniformity in fire protection equipment requirements across uninspected and inspected towing vessel fleets. 
In this final rule we add clarifying 
language to 46 CFR 142.215(d) to eliminate possible ambiguity as to whether existing firefighting equipment must meet the requirements of part 142. The additional language in § 142.215(d) clarifies that this paragraph applies only to excess existing firefighting equipment and installations. When the Coast Guard issued a final rule establishing inspected towing vessels as a class of vessel,
1§ 142.215(c) provided the 
requirements for carriage of both new and existing excess firefighting equipment and installations. In the interim final rule, we attempted to clarify the excess firefighting equipment requirements by breaking § 142.215(c) into two sections: § 142.215(c) for new equipment and § 142.215(d) for existing equipment. In doing so, we inadvertently omitted the statement that § 142.215(d) only applies to excess existing firefighting equipment and installations. Therefore, we are correcting that omission in this final rule. 
Section 553(b)(B) of Title 5 U.S.C. 
provides an exception from notice and comment rulemaking requirements when an agency finds that notice and comment are ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ In the interim final rule, we separated the excess equipment requirements in 46 CFR 142.215(c) into two sections: One for existing firefighting equipment and one for new firefighting equipment. In doing so, however, the Coast Guard did not intend to change the original requirements of § 142.215(c). In the 
preamble to the Inspection of Towing Vessels final rule, which initially created § 142.215(c), we said we ‘‘have added a paragraph (c) to this section to address equipment that is installed but not required by this subpart.’’ (81 FR 40003, 40057, June 20, 2016). This preamble language makes clear that we intended paragraph (c) to apply to both new and existing excess firefighting equipment on towing vessels. 
However, when the Coast Guard 
created § 142.215(d) in the 2018 interim final rule, the Coast Guard inadvertently 
omitted the statement that § 142.215(d) only applies to excess existing firefighting equipment and installations. As currently written in the interim final rule, § 142.215(d) could be interpreted as a blanket grandfathering clause for existing equipment and installations to forego some or all of the requirements of part 142. This interpretation was never intended. The Regulatory Analyses in the interim final rule described the creation of § 142.215(d) from the last sentence of previous § 142.215(c) as a change to ‘‘[e]dit and reorganize paragraph for clarity’’ and characterized it as a ‘‘non-substantive text edit’’ (83 FR 8177). Additionally, the interim final rule referred to the creation of paragraph (d) in its Cost Analysis section as ‘‘Add[ing] a new paragraph to allow equipment beyond the regulatory minimum’’ (83 FR 8177). 
In this final rule, the Coast Guard is 
adding clarifying language in paragraph (d) to align with our original intent for this section, to allow excess equipment to remain in use if it does not meet all the requirements of 46 CFR part 142. Public comment on this clarifying language is unnecessary, because the change will not alter the fire equipment and installations requirements already required for the towing vessel 
population. Since the interim final rule, the Coast Guard has not enforced § 142.215(d) as a blanket grandfathering clause, and no existing inspected or uninspected towing vessels will need to do anything new in order to comply with the amended paragraph (d). Because this change to § 142.215(d) clarifies the original intent of the section and does not alter the expectations and duties of the affected population, prior notice and opportunity to comment on the change is unnecessary. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds good cause to forgo notice and comment. 
III. Regulatory Analyses 
We developed this rule after 
considering numerous statutes and 
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on these statutes or Executive orders. 
A. Regulatory Planning and Review 
Executive Orders 12866 (Regulatory 
Planning and Review) and 13563 
(Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review) direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:53 Oct 24, 2018 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\25OCR1.SGM 25OCR1daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES53820 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 207 / Thursday, October 25, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 
environmental, public health and safety 
effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs), directs agencies to reduce regulation and control regulatory costs and provides that ‘‘for every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently 
managed and controlled through a budgeting process.’’ The Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has not designated this rule a 
significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, OMB has not reviewed it. Because this rule is not a significant regulatory action, this rule is exempt 
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB’s Memorandum titled ‘‘Guidance Implementing Executive Order 13771, titled ‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs’ ’’ (April 5, 2017). A regulatory analysis (RA) follows. 
This final rule will implement the 
interim final rule’s update to the fire safety rules in subchapter M with one change: The addition of clarifying 
language to § 142.215(d). This RA presents the costs and benefits of this one change. The costs and the benefits of the interim final rule are located in the RA section of that rule (83 FR 8175; February 26, 2018). The Coast Guard believes this will be a cost neutral rule, as we do not expect the addition of clarifying language to § 142.215(d) to generate any costs or quantifiable benefits to either industry or government. Table 1 presents a summary of the impacts of this rule. 
TABLE 1—S UMMARY OF IMPACTS OF THE RULE 
Category Summary 
Applicability ..................................... Towing vessels required to be inspected under subchapter M. 
Affected population ......................... 5,509 towing vessels. 
Costs ............................................... No costs identified. 
Benefits ........................................... Provides clarifying language on an ambiguously written regulatory section in the interim final rule. 
Affected Population 
The affected population consists of 
the U.S.-flagged towing vessels subject 
to the provisions of subchapter M. The RA performed for the Inspection of Towing Vessels final rule identified 5,509 towing vessels that will be affected and concluded that the long- term pattern was a steady-state population. We have no new 
information to revise that conclusion and will use the population from that rule for this analysis. 
Cost Analysis 
This rule adapts the interim final 
rule’s alignment of fire protection and 
equipment regulations for inspected towing vessels with other commercial vessels, with one additional change. The 
final rule will add text to clarify the wording in § 142.215(d), which allows extra equipment to remain in service on a vessel even if it does not meet the specific requirements of the applicable regulations, as long as it is approved by the local OCMI. Table 2 describes the economic impact of this change. 
TABLE 2—A SSESSMENT OF COSTIMPACTS OF CHANGES MADEBETWEEN THE INTERIM FINAL RULE AND FINAL RULE 
Description of change given in the interim final rule 
§ 142.215(d) Type of change Cost impact 
Added additional text to § 142.215(d) to clarify that the 
section only applies to equipment not required or in 
excess of the regulatory minimum.Non-substantive text edit 
only.No cost, because all existing vessels are already re-
quired to be in compliance with the regulatory re-quirements of part 142 from when they were uninspected, under subchapter C. 
Benefits 
This final rule will adapt the interim 
final rule’s harmonization of the fire 
safety rules in subchapter M with the fire safety rules applicable to uninspected towing vessels and commercial vessels. The final rule also provides clarifying language in the regulatory text, ensuring that there is no confusion about the intent of § 142.215(d). This section allows equipment in excess of this part to remain in service on a vessel even if it does not meet the specific requirements of the applicable regulations, as long as it is found acceptable by the local OCMI. Without this additional text, the Coast Guard believes the section could be read as a blanket grandfathering clause, and we would have to issue 
guidance to all OCMIs to ensure that all required existing equipment meets the requirements of part 142. 
B. Small Entities 
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 
requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business Administration on this rulemaking. Our economic analysis concluded that 
this final rule will have no cost impact and will not affect the small entities that own and operate the towing vessels that comprise the affected population, described above. Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
C. Assistance for Small Entities 
Under section 213(a) of the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996, Public Law 104– 121, we offered to assist small entities in understanding this rule so that they could better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against

small entities that question or complain 
about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. 
Small businesses may send comments 
on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency’s responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). 
D. Collection of Information 
This rule calls for no new collection 
of information or modification of an 
existing collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. 
E. Federalism 
A rule has implications for federalism 
under Executive Order 13132 
(Federalism) if it has a substantial direct effect on States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of 
power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13132 and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. Our analysis follows. 
It is well settled that States may not 
regulate in categories reserved for regulation by the Coast Guard. It is also well settled that all of the categories covered in 46 U.S.C. 3306, 3703, 7101, and 8101 (design, construction, alteration, repair, maintenance, operation, equipping, personnel qualification, and manning of vessels), as well as the reporting of casualties and any other category in which Congress intended the Coast Guard to be the sole source of a vessel’s obligations, are within the field foreclosed from regulation by the States. See the 
Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Locke and Intertanko v. Locke, 
529 U.S. 89, 120 S.Ct. 1135 (2000). This rule covers foreclosed categories as it establishes regulations covering fire extinguishing equipment for towing vessels subject to inspection under 46 U.S.C. 3301 and 3306. Therefore, because the States may not regulate within these categories, this rule is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. F. 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. Although this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. 
G. 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). 
H. 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. 
I. 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 will not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might disproportionately affect children. 
J. Indian Tribal Governments 
This rule does not have tribal 
implications under Executive Order 
13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments), because it will 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. 
K. 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. L. Technical Standards and Incorporation by Reference 
The National Technology Transfer 
and Advancement Act, codified as a note to 15 U.S.C. 272, directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through OMB, 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. The interim rule, as adopted by this final rule, uses the following updated voluntary consensus standard: NFPA 10, Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers, 2010 Edition, effective December 5, 2009. This standard applies to the selection, installation, inspection, maintenance, recharging, and testing of portable fire extinguishers. 
Consistent with 1 CFR part 51 
incorporation by reference provisions, this material is reasonably available. Interested persons have access to it through their normal course of business, may purchase it from the organization identified in 46 CFR 136.112(h), or may view a copy by means we have identified in that section. 
M. Environment 
We have analyzed this rule under 
Department of Homeland Security 
Management Directive 023–01(series), and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD (COMTINST M16475.1D), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (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. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket where indicated under the ‘‘Public Participation and Request for Comments’’ section of this preamble. 
This rule makes final updates to 46 
CFR subchapter M which harmonized fire safety standards for inspected towing vessels with those of other commercial vessels. These updated regulations are categorically excluded under paragraphs L52, L54, L57, and L58 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01(series). Paragraph L52 pertains to regulations
