Revision to Federal Blood Alcohol

Concentration (BAC) Standard for

Recreational Vessel Operators: Delay

of Effective Date

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of

Transportation.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective

date.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

memorandum of January 20, 2001, from

the Assistant to the President and Chief

of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Review

Plan,’’ published in the Federal Register

on January 24, 2001 (66 FR 7702), this

action temporarily delays for 60 days

the effective date of the rule entitled

Revision to Federal Blood Alcohol

Concentration (BAC) Standard for

Recreational Vessel Operators,

published in the Federal Register on

January 10, 2001, 66 FR 1859. That rule

concerns revising the Federal Blood

Alcohol Concentration (BAC) standard

under which a recreational vessel

operator would be considered operating

while ‘‘intoxicated’’.

DATES: The effective date of the final

rule amending 33 CFR parts 95 and 177

published in the Federal Register on

January 10, 2001, at 66 FR 1859, is

delayed for 60 days, from March 12,

2001, until May 11, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Carlton Perry, Project Manager, Office of

Boating Safety, U.S. Coast Guard, by

telephone at 202–267–0979.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To the

extent that 5 U.S.C. section 553 applies

to this action, it is exempt from notice

and comment because it constitutes a

rule of procedure under 5 U.S.C. section

553(b)(A). Alternatively, the Coast

Guard’s implementation of this action

without opportunity for public

comment, effective immediately upon

publication today in the Federal

Register, is based on the good cause

exceptions in 5 U.S.C. section 553(b)(B)

and 553(d)(3). Seeking public comment

is impracticable, unnecessary and

contrary to the public interest. The

temporary 60-day delay in effective date

is necessary to give Department officials

the opportunity for further review and

consideration of new regulations,

consistent with the Assistant to the

President’s memorandum of January 20,

2001. Given the imminence of the

effective date, seeking prior public

comment on this temporary delay

would have been impracticable, as well

as contrary to the public interest in the

orderly promulgation and

implementation of regulations. The

imminence of the effective date is also

good cause for making this action

effective immediately upon publication.

Dated: January 31, 2001.

Terry M. Cross,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Assistant

Commandant for Operations.
