Shipping and Transportation; 

Technical, Organizational and 

Conforming Amendments

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: By this final rule, the Coast 

Guard is making editorial and technical 

changes throughout titles 46 and 49 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to 

update and correct the titles before they 

are revised on October 1, 2004. Our rule 

updates organization names and 

addresses, and makes conforming 

amendments and technical corrections. 

This rule will have no substantive effect 

on the regulated public.

DATES: This final rule is effective 

September 30, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Documents as indicated in 

this preamble are available for 

inspection or copying under docket 

number (USCG–2004–1884) at the 

Docket Management Facility, U.S. 

Department of Transportation, room PL–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

We did not publish a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this 

regulation. Under both 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(A) and (b)(B), the Coast Guard 

finds that this rule is exempt from 

notice and comment rulemaking 

requirements because some of these 

changes involve agency organization 

and practices, and all of these changes 

are non-substantive. 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 less than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Discussion of the Rule 

Each year titles 46 and 49 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations are updated on 

October 1. This rule, which becomes 

effective September 30, 2004, corrects 

organization names and addresses, 

revises authority citations for certain 

parts to reflect our move to the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) in March 2003, and makes other 

technical and editorial corrections 

throughout titles 46 and 49. This rule 

does not change any substantive 

requirements of existing regulations. 

In the following paragraphs, we 

describe revisions that are not selfexplanatory name, address or spelling 

corrections, gender-neutral changes, or 

updates to references/cites: 

a. 46 CFR 10.205, 10.901, 10.903, 

12.10–9, and 12.13–1. These sections 

contain a date or dates that no longer 

apply. Any date that has passed and no 

longer affects the rule has been 

removed. 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 189 / Thursday, September 30, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 58337

b. 46 CFR 10.306, 10.811, and 12.02–

29. The time periods for these sections 

have passed, or their subject matter is 

no longer relevant. These sections have 

served their purpose and are no longer 

valid. They are removed and reserved. 

c. 46 CFR 13.113, 13.115, and 13.117.

These sections contain grandfather 

provisions (for tankerman certified 

under prior regulations) that have 

expired. These sections have served 

their purpose, and they no longer apply 

to anyone. They are removed and 

reserved. 

d. 46 CFR 15.1030. We added an 

interpretive note to the end of this 

section. Including this interpretive note 

in the CFR serves as an important 

reminder for those who are subject to it 

as well as those who are tasked with 

enforcing this regulation. The note first 

appeared in a Notice of Interpretation 

published in the Federal Register

(USCG–2000–7742, 65 FR 49284, 11 

Aug. 2000). We did not receive any 

formal comments (pro or con) when this 

notice was published. 

e. 46 CFR 15.1105. Paragraph (d) is 

deleted as it has served its purpose. The 

passage of time has made this paragraph 

obsolete. 

f. 46 CFR 28.575. This change allows 

one to use the formula with either 

English units or metric units.

g. 46 CFR 54.15 and 116.438. Errors 

in conversion of units are corrected. 

h. 46 CFR 175.400. An erroneous 

conversion from cubic meters to cubic 

feet is corrected. 

i. A number of sections throughout 

title 46 contain collection of information 

numbers changed by the transfer of the 

Coast Guard from the Department of 

Transportation (DOT) to the Department 

of Homeland Security (DHS). The old 

DOT series numbers (2115–) are 

replaced by the new DHS series 

numbers (1625–). 

Regulatory Evaluation 

This rule is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the 

regulatory policies and procedures of 

the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS). We expect the economic impact 

of this rule to be so minimal that a full 

Regulatory Evaluation under the 

regulatory policies and procedures of 

DHS is unnecessary. As this rule 

involves internal agency practices and 

procedures and non-substantive 

changes, it will not impose any costs on 

the public. 

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. This 

rule does not require a general NPRM 

and, therefore, is exempt from the 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. Although this rule is 

exempt, we have reviewed it for 

potential economic impact on small 

entities. 

This rule will have no substantive 

effect on the regulated public. 

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. 

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). 

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. 

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 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. 

Taking of Private Property 

This rule will not effect a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

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 

58338 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 189 / Thursday, September 30, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guides the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded that there are no factors 

in this case that would limit the use of 

a categorical exclusion under section 

2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this 

rule is categorically excluded, under 

figure 2–1, paragraphs (34)(a) and (b), of 

the Instruction from further 

environmental documentation because 

this rule involves editorial, procedural, 

and internal agency functions. An 

‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’

and a ‘‘Categorical Exclusion 

Determination’’ are available in the 

docket where indicated under 

ADDRESSES.
