Great Lakes Pilotage; Consolidation of

Regulations

AGENCY: Saint Lawrence Seaway

Development Corporation, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard’s

responsibility for administering the

Secretary’s functions under the Great

Lakes Pilotage Act of 1960, as amended,

(the Act) was transferred from the Coast

Guard to the Saint Lawrence Seaway

Development Corporation (SLSDC) on

December 11, 1995. This rule moves the

Great Lakes Pilotage Regulations from

Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations, to

Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations.

This rule is necessary to consolidate all

regulations administered by the SLSDC.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 25, 1996.

Marc C. Owen, Chief Counsel, Saint

Lawrence Seaway Development

Corporation, United States Department

of Transportation, 400 7th Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20590, room 5424, 1–

800–785–2779, or Scott A. Poyer, Chief

Economist, Saint Lawrence Seaway

Development Corporation, Office of

Great Lakes Pilotage, United States

Department of Transportation, 400 7th

Street SW., Washington, DC 20590,

room 5421, 1–800–785–2779.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By final

rule published in the Federal Register

on December 11, 1995 (60 FR 63444),

the Coast Guard’s responsibility for

administering the Secretary’s functions

under the Great Lakes Pilotage Act of

1960, as amended, (the Act) was

transferred to the Saint Lawrence

Seaway Development Corporation

(SLSDC), effective on the date of

publication.

This rule moves the Great Lakes

Pilotage Regulations from Chapter III of

Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations

(46 CFR Parts 401–404), to Title 33,

Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter IV

as Parts 404–407. Chapter III of Title 46,

Code of Federal Regulations, is removed

in its entirety and vacated. This rule

also amends references to the

regulations that have been moved and

renumbers those references in

accordance with their new location in

the Code of Federal Regulations, and

amends the Authority citation for each

part. This rule is necessary to

consolidate all regulations administered

by the SLSDC.

Since this rule relates to departmental

management, organization, procedure,

and practice, notice and public

comment are unnecessary. For the same

reason, good cause exists for not

publishing this rule at least 30 days

before its effective date, as is ordinarily

required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d). Because the

transfer of Great Lakes Pilotage

responsibility has already occurred, it is

necessary to reflect redesignation in the

Code of Federal Regulations

immediately. Accordingly, this rule is

effective on the date of its publication

in the Federal Register.

For reasons set out in the preamble

and under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 322

and 49 CFR 1.52, the Saint Lawrence

Seaway Development Corporation is

amending 33 CFR Chapter IV, and

removing 46 CFR Chapter III as follows:

1. Parts 401, 402, 403, and 404 of 46

CFR chapter III are redesignated as parts

404, 405, 406, and 407, respectively,

and transferred to 33 CFR chapter IV

and 46 CFR chapter III is vacated.

34 CFR Parts 639, 651, 652, and 667

Removal of Regulations

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final regulations.

SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to

remove unnecessary and obsolete

regulations. The regulations removed

are 34 CFR parts 639 (Law School

Clinical Experience Program), 651

(Training in the Legal Profession), 652

(National Science Scholars Program),

and 667 (State Postsecondary Review

Program). As a result of new legislation,

absence of funding, and review in

accordance with the President’s

regulatory reinvention initiative, the

Secretary has determined that these

regulations are no longer needed.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Parts 651, 652, and 667

are removed effective June 25, 1996.

Part 639 is removed effective September

30, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President

Clinton’s memorandum of March 4,

1995, titled ‘‘Regulatory Reinvention

Initiative,’’ directed heads of

departments and agencies to review all

existing regulations to eliminate those

that are outdated and modify others to

increase flexibility and reduce burden.

The Department has undertaken a

thorough review of its existing

regulations and has identified the

regulations removed by this document

as obsolete or unnecessary. Additional

obsolete and unnecessary regulations

were previously removed on May 23,

1995 (60 FR 27223) and on April 29,

1996 (61 FR 18680) as part of the

Regulatory Reinvention Initiative.

The regulations being removed are no

longer necessary to administer the

program, have been superseded by new

legislation, or were issued to implement

a program that is no longer funded. To

the extent that regulations are needed to

implement new legislation, they will be

issued separately from this document.

Any determination to issue new

regulations will be carefully considered

to ensure that it is consistent with the

President’s regulatory reform efforts and

the principles in Executive Order 12866.

The Department is continuing to

review its other existing regulations

thoroughly in consultation with its

customers and partners. To the extent

the Secretary can identify further

opportunities for regulatory reinvention,

the Secretary will propose appropriate

amendments to revise or eliminate

outdated provisions, reduce burden, and

increase flexibility.

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

In accordance with the

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

553), it is the practice of the Secretary

to offer interested parties the

opportunity to comment on proposed

regulations. However, these regulations

merely reflect statutory changes and

remove unnecessary and obsolete

regulatory provisions. Removal of the

regulations does not establish or affect

substantive policy. Therefore, the

Secretary has determined, pursuant to 5

U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that public comment is

unnecessary and contrary to the public

interest. For the same reasons the

Secretary waives the 30-day delayed

effective date in 5 U.S.C 553(d).

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980

These regulations have been

examined under the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1980 and have been

found to contain no information

collection requirements.

Assessment of Educational Impact

Based on its own review, the

Department has determined that the

regulations in this document do not

require transmission of information that

is being gathered by or is available from

any other agency or authority of the

United States.
