references, remove obsolete regulatory provisions, and make other 
technical corrections. This rule will have no substantive effect on the 
regulated public.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on June 30, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated, documents referred to in this 
preamble are available for inspection or copying at the office of the 
Executive Secretary, Marine Safety Council (G-LRA/3406). U.S. Coast 
Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street SW., room 3406, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Each year Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is 
recodified on July 1. This rule makes miscellaneous editorial changes 
and conforming amendments, including changes brought about by the Coast 
Guard Headquarters reorganization, to be included in the 1996 
recodification of Title 33.

Discussion of Changes

    Coast Guard Headquarters recently went through a comprehensive 
streamlining and reorganization. The substantive functions it performs 
are essentially unchanged; however, many functions have been 
consolidated. This rule reflects the redistribution of functions and 
responsibilities due to the reorganization.
    The rule also makes editorial changes throughout the title to 
correct addresses, update cross-references, and make other technical 
corrections.
    Sections 157.03, 159.3, 181.3, and 183.3 are being reformatted by 
reorganizing the definitions into alphabetical order and removing 
paragraph designators.
    Section 165.T01-005 expired on May 1, 1994 and section 165.702 
expired on December 31, 1991. These regulations are no longer needed 
and are being removed.
    In addition the safety zone in Sec. 165.1112 was originally 
established to protect Navy cables and equipment on the ocean floor 
which could have been damaged by anchoring, fishing, and similar 
activities. The Navy equipment has been removed and this safety zone is 
no longer required and is being removed.
    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 June 30, 1996.

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. 
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 significant federalism implications

[[Page 33661]]

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.

extensions.
    Boat means any vessel manufactured or used primarily for 
noncommercial use; leased, rented, or chartered to another for the

one-half the maximum beam of the boat.

[[Page 33670]]

    Length means the straight line horizontal measurement of the 
overall length from the foremost part of the boat to the aftermost part 
of the boat, measured from end to end over the deck excluding sheer, 
and measured parallel to the centerline. Bow sprits, bumpkins, rudders, 
outboard motor brackets, handles, and other similar fittings, 
attachments, and extensions are not included in the measurement.
    Monohull boat means a boat on which the line of intersection of the 
water surface and the boat at any operating draft forms a single closed 
curve. For example, a catamaran, trimaran, or a pontoon boat is not a

    Motorwell means any arrangement of bulkheads or structures that 
prevents water from entering the passenger carrying area of the boat 
through any cutout area in the transom for mounting an outboard motor.
    Motorwell height means the vertical distance from the lowest point 
of water ingress along the top of the motorwell to a line representing 
a longitudinal extension of the centerline of the boat's bottom 
surface, excluding keels. This distance is measured as a projection on 
the centerline plane of the boat. See Figure 183.3.
    Permanent appurtenances means equipment that is mounted or

attached to the boat and used in steering the vessel, including but not 
limited to mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical control systems.
    Sailboat means a boat designed or intended to use sails as the 
primary means of propulsion.
    Sheer means the topmost line in a boat's side. The sheer intersects 
the vertical centerline plane of the boat at the forward end and 
intersects the transom (stern) at the aft end. For the purposes of this 
definition, the topmost line in a boat's side is the line defined by a 
series of points of contact with the boat structure, by straight lines 
at 45 degree angles to the horizontal and contained in a vertical plane 
normal to the outside edge of the boat as seen from above and which are 
brought into contact with the outside of the horizontal boat. A boat is 
horizontal when it is transversely level and when the lowest points at 
40 percent and 75 percent of the boat's length behind the most forward 
point of the boat are level.
    Transom means the surface at the stern of a boat projecting or 
facing aft. The upper boundary of the transom is the line defined by a 
series of points of contact, with the boat structure, by straight lines 
at 45 degree angles to the horizontal and contained in a vertical 
longitudinal plane and which are brought into contact with the stern of 
the horizontal boat. A boat is horizontal when it is transversely level 
and when the lowest points at 40 percent and 75 percent of the boat's 
length behind the most forward point of the boat are level.
    Vessel includes every description of watercraft, other than a 
seaplane on the water, used or capable of being used as a means of 
transportation on the water.
