SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Each year Title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations is recodified 
on October 1. This rule makes miscellaneous editorial changes, 
conforming amendments, and revisions relating to recent Coast Guard 
organizational changes, to be included in the 1997 recodification of 
Title 46.

Discussion of Changes

    As part of its Headquarters reorganization, the Coast Guard changed 
senior management position titles from ``Chief'' to ``Assistant 
Commandant'' for the Acquisition, Civil Rights, Marine Safety and 
Environmental Protection, Operations, and Systems and Human Resources 
programs. This rule revises the Marine Safety and Environmental 
Protection title to conform to the current organization.
    The rule also makes editorial changes throughout the title, 
corrects addresses, updates cross-references, and makes other technical 
corrections. This rule does not change any substantive requirements of 
existing regulations.

Sections 1.03-15, 1.03-30, 1.03-35, and 1.03-40

    In sections 1.03-15((h) (2) and (3), 1.03-30 (a) and (b), and 1.03-
35(a), the Coast Guard revises the appeal process concerning appeals to 
the Commandant and to the Marine Safety Center involving tonnage 
measurement; and removes both paragraph (c) of section 1.03-35 and 
section 1.03-40.

Section 2.10-25

    Section 2.10-25 revises the definition for Offshore supply vessel 
or OSV to conform to the definition published in the Offshore Supply 
Vessels; Alternate Tonnage final rule; interpretation (61 FR 66613), 
published on December 18, 1996.

Sections 24.10-17 and 25.30-20

    In section 24.10-17 and Table 25.30-20(a)(1), the Coast Guard 
removes references to motorboat classes ``A, 1, 2, or 3'' because the 
recreational boating safety regulations no longer refer to motorboat 
classes, but rely solely on vessel length category.

Sections 69.15, 69.17, 69.19 and 69.23

    In sections 69.15, 69.17, 69.19 and 69.23, the Coast Guard changes 
the term ``Organizations authorized to measure vessels'' to 
``Authorized measurement organizations'' for tonnage measurement and, 
in addition, makes available a current listing of authorized 
measurement organizations.

Section 69.63

    This rule corrects a codification error, and subsequent publication 
errors, that dropped an element of the formula from Sec. 69.63, Net 
tonnage.

Sections 98.30-4, 98.30-5, 98.33-3, 147.40, 147.45, and 147.A.11

    The Coast Guard revises sections 98.30-4(a)(1), 98.30-5(a)(4), (b), 
and (e), 98.33-3 (a) and (b), 147.40 (a)(1) and (a)(2), 147.45(f)(3), 
and 147A.11(b)(5)(iii) to conform to 49 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter C 
(HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REGULATIONS), and the 1990 comprehensive revision 
and reorganization of that Subchapter.
    Since this amendment relates to departmental management, 
organization, procedure, and practice, notice and comment on it are 
unnecessary and it may be made effective in fewer than 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register. Therefore, this final rule is 
effective on September 30, 1997.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of Executive Order 12866 and does not require an assessment of 
potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that order. It 
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget under that 
order. It is not significant under the regulatory policies and 
procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040; 
February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this 
rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph 
10e of the regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is unnecessary. As 
this rule involves internal agency practices and procedures, it will 
not impose any costs on the public.

Collection of Information

    This rule contains no collection-of-information requirements under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Federalism

    The Coast Guard has analyzed this rule under the principles and 
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612 and has determined that 
this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant 
the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Environment

    The Coast Guard considered the environmental impact of this rule 
and concluded that under paragraph 2.B.2 of Commandant Instruction 
M16475.1B, this rule is categorically excluded from further 
environmental documentation. This exclusion is in accordance with 
paragraphs 2.B.2.e.(34) (a) and (b), concerning regulations that are 
editorial or procedural and concerning internal agency functions or 
organization. A ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' is available in 
the docket for inspection or copying where indicated under ADDRESSES.

Unfunded Mandates

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), (Pub. 
L. 104-4, 109 Stat. 48), requires Federal agencies to assess the 
effects of certain regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal 
governments, and the private sector. UMRA requires a written statement 
of economic and regulatory alternatives for proposed and final rules 
that contain Federal mandates. A ``Federal mandate,'' is a new or 
additional enforceable duty, imposed on any State, local or tribal 
government, or the private sector. If any Federal mandate causes those 
entities, to spend, in the aggregate, $100 million or more in any one 
year the UMRA analysis is required. This rule does not impose Federal 
mandates on any State, local or tribal governments or the private 
sector.
