of the Atlantic Area, Pacific Area, and

Eleventh Coast Guard District offices.

These changes are administrative and

will not impact the type or level of

Coast Guard services performed.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective

June 13, 1996, except for § 3.04–1(a)

which is effective June 14, 1996, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

Atlantic Area and Pacific Area

During 1996, the Coast Guard

reorganized the Area field command

and control structures and relocated the

Atlantic Area office from New York

City, to Portsmouth, VA, and relocated

the Eleventh District office from Long

Beach, CA, to Alameda, CA. The

Atlantic and Pacific Area Commanders

also serve as the Fifth and Eleventh

District Commanders, respectively. The

separate authorities and responsibilities

of the Area Commanders and District

Commanders are unaffected by the

consolidated of their command staffs.

Second District—Merger Into the Eighth

District

Previously, the Second Coast Guard

District and Eighth District exercised

jurisdiction in their respective regions.

In 1996, the Coast Guard realigned its

field command and control structure in

the Gulf of Mexico and Midwestern

regions through the merger of the

Second District into the Eighth District.

The Second District has been

disestablished and the Eighth District

boundaries have been expanded to

include the prior Second District area of

responsibilities. This realignment

enables more efficient internal

management and enhances mission

performance in the affected region. The

merger streamlined command and

control of activities within the

combined Second and Eighth District

regions. The Eighth District Commander

now exercises authority over the

combined geographic region. The

merger will not adversely affect the

public, since there will be no change in

Coast Guard operational assets or Coast

Guard services in the respective regions.

The descriptions of Marine Inspection

and Captain of the Port Zones which

belonged to the Second District are

being renumbered to reflect their

realignment with the Eighth District.

Discussion of Changes

§ 3.01–1. This section, describing

generally the Area Commanders’

responsibilities, is revised to reflect the

fact that the Atlantic Area Commander

also serves as Fifth District Commander

and the Pacific Area Commander also

serves as the Eleventh District

Commander.

§ 3.04–1. This section, describing the

Area offices and jurisdictions, is revised

to reflect the relocation of the Atlantic

Are office from New York, NY to

Portsmouth, VA and eliminates

reference to the Second Coast Guard

District which was disestablished with

its merger into the Eighth District. The

section is also revised to correctly

reflect the location of the Pacific Area

office as Alameda, CA and to reflect

relocation of Eleventh District office

from Long Beach, CA to Alameda, CA.

§ 3.10–1. This section, describing the

Second District, is removed to conform

with the disestablishment of the Second

District as a result of its merger into the

Eighth District.

§ 3.10–10 through 03.10–50. These

sections, describing the six Marine

Inspection and Captain of the Port

Zones within the prior Second District,

are redesignated under Subpart 3.40 to

conform with the reassignment of these

MI and COTP zones to Eighth District as

a result of the merger of the Second

District into the Eighth District.

§ 3.40–1. This section, describing the

Eighth District, is revised to describe its

new boundaries which incorporate the

prior Second District boundaries as a

result of the merger of the Second

District into the Eighth District.

The current CFR descriptions do not

reflect the reorganizations in the Coast

Guard Areas, affected Coast Guard

District, and the realignment of Marine

Inspection (MI) and Captain of the Port

(COTP) Zones. Since this is a matter

relating to agency organization,

procedure, and management, it is

excluded from the requirements of

section 553(b)(3)(A) of the

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

551 et seq.) for a notice of proposed

rulemaking and public comment. These

changes are administrative and will not

impact the type of level of Coast Guard

services performed. Further, since the

rule has no substantial effect on service

to the public, good cause exists under 5

U.S.C. 553(d) to make the rule effective

less than 30 days after publication.

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 10(e) of the regulatory

policies and procedures of DOT is

unnecessary. This rule merely

implements administrative changes

within the Coast Guard structure. Coast

Guard services to the public will not be

changed.

Collection of Information

This rule contains no collection-ofinformation requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.)
