RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

20 CFR Part 367 

RIN 3220–AB66 

Recovery of Debts Owed to the United 

States Government by Administrative 

Offset 

AGENCY: Railroad Retirement Board. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Railroad Retirement 

Board (Board) proposes to amend its 

regulations by changing from 180 days 

delinquent to 120 days delinquent debts 

that are referred to Treasury in 

compliance with the DATA Act. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

March 23, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Address any comments 

concerning this proposed rule to 

Secretary to the Board, Railroad 

Retirement Board, 844 N. Rush Street, 

Chicago, Illinois 60611–2092. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Marguerite P. Dadabo, Assistant General 

Counsel, (312) 751–4945, TTD (312) 

751–4701. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Railroad Retirement Board (Board) 

proposes to amend part 367 of the 

Board’s regulations, Recovery of Debts 

Owed to the United States Government 

by Administrative Offset. Specifically, 

the Board proposes to amend § 367.3(a), 

Board Responsibilities. Section 367.3(a) 

states that all nontax debts over 180 

days delinquent shall be referred to the 

Department of the Treasury for 

administrative offset through the 

Treasury Offset Program as required by 

31 U.S.C. 3716. 31 U.S.C. 3716 was 

amended by the Digital Accountability 

and Transparency Act (DATA Act), 

Public Law 113–101. The DATA Act 

now requires agencies to refer to the 

Department of the Treasury valid, 

delinquent nontax debts for the purpose 

of administrative offset at 120 days. The 

proposed amendment to § 367.3(a) of 

the Board’s regulation would change 

from 180 days to 120 days the debts 

referred to the Department of the 

Treasury in compliance with the DATA 

Act. 

The Board, with the concurrence of 

the Office of Management and Budget, 

has determined that this is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866, as amended. 

Therefore, no regulatory impact analysis 

is required. There are no changes to the 

information collections associated with 

Part 367. 

List of Subjects in 20 CFR 367

retirement. 

For the reasons set out in the 

preamble, the Railroad Retirement 

Board proposes to amend title 20,

Consolidated Cruise Ship Security 

Regulations 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces a 

public meeting will take place on 

February 9, 2015, in Fort Lauderdale, 

Florida to receive comments on a notice 

of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 10, 2014, under the title 

‘‘Consolidated Cruise Ship Security 

Regulations.’’ This proposed rule would 

amend Coast Guard regulations on 

cruise ship terminal security by 

implementing amendments that provide 

detailed, flexible requirements for the 

screening of all baggage, personal items, 

and persons—including passengers, 

crew, and visitors—intended for 

carriage on a cruise ship. The proposed 

regulations would standardize the 

security requirements of cruise ship 

terminals and would eliminate 

redundancies in current regulations that 

govern the security of cruise ship 

terminals. 

DATES: The meeting will be held on 

February 9, 2015, from 1:00 p.m. until 

5:00 p.m. The meeting may conclude 

before the allotted time if all matters for 

discussion have been addressed and 

there are no additional comments from 

the public. Comments and related 

material must be received by the Coast 

Guard or the docket management 

facility on or before March 10, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at 

Port Everglades Cruise Terminal 19, 

First Floor, 2019 Eller Drive, 

Hollywood, FL 33316. Parking is

be prepared to present photo 

identification at the Port’s main security 

gate. Directions are available on the Port

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

On December 10, 2014, the Coast 

Guard published an NPRM in the 

Federal Register (79 FR 73255) entitled 

‘‘Consolidated Cruise Ship Security 

Regulations.’’ The Coast Guard proposes 

to amend the maritime security 

regulations, found in Title 33 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (33 CFR) 

subchapter H (parts 101 through 107), to 

require terminal screening programs in 

existing facility security plans at cruise 

ship terminals within the United States 

and its territories. This proposed rule 

would standardize screening activities 

for all persons, baggage, and personal 

effects at cruise ship terminals while 

also allowing for an appropriate degree 

of flexibility that accommodates and is 

consistent with different terminal sizes 

and operations. This flexible 

standardization would ensure a 

consistent layer of security at terminals 

throughout the United States. The 

proposed rule would build upon 

existing facility security requirements in 

33 CFR part 105, which implements the 

Maritime Transportation Security Act, 

Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064 

(November 25, 2002), codified at 46 

U.S.C. Chapter 701. The Coast Guard 

consulted the Transportation Security 

Administration during the development 

of the proposed rule. 

The Coast Guard also proposes to 

remove 33 CFR parts 120 and 128 

because provisions in those parts 

requiring security officers and security 

plans or programs for cruise ships and 

cruise ship terminals would be 

redundant with the provisions in 33 

CFR subchapter H. Section 120.220, 

concerning the reporting of unlawful 

acts, would also be removed because it 

is obsolete and existing law enforcement 

protocols require members of the Cruise 

Lines International Association (CLIA) 

to report incidents involving serious 

violations of U.S. law to the nearest 

Federal Bureau of Investigation field 

office as soon as possible. The Coast 

Guard will consider issuing additional 

regulations on this subject in a separate 

rulemaking pursuant to the Cruise 

Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 

(CVSSA), Public Law 111–207 (July 27, 

2010) (See RIN 1625–AB91). 

This proposed rule does not address 

the screening of vessel stores, bunkers, 

or cargo. Similarly, it does not affect 

what items may be brought onto a cruise 

ship by the cruise ship operator, 

including items that passengers may 

check for secure storage with the cruise 

operator outside of their baggage or 

carry-ons. Requirements for security 

measures for the delivery of vessel 

stores, bunkers, and cargo are set forth 

in 33 CFR 104.275, 104.280, 105.265, 

and 105.270. 

This proposed rule also does not 

include regulations that may be required 

pursuant to the CVSSA. Although this 

rule and the CVSSA are both concerned 

with cruise ship security generally, this 

rule consolidates and updates preboarding screening requirements while 

the CVSSA prescribes requirements in 

other areas, such as cruise ship design, 

providing information to passengers, 

maintaining medications and medical 

staff on board, reporting crime, crew 

access to passenger staterooms, and 

crime scene preservation training. 

Delaying promulgation of this proposed 

rule while the regulations required by 

the CVSSA are developed, for the sole 

purpose of publishing all of these 

regulations together, would 

unnecessarily deprive the public of the 

benefit of improved cruise ship 

screening regulations during that 

period.
