Correction

    In the December 18, 2014 edition of the Federal Register, the Coast 
Guard published a notice titled, ``Guidance on Maritime Cybersecurity 
Standards'' (79 FR 75574). In providing background information, the 
notice contained the following statement: ``Coast Guard regulations 
require certain vessel and facility operators to conduct security 
assessments, and to develop security plans that address vulnerabilities 
identified by the security assessment.'' Mistakenly, the footnote at 
the end of that statement, referencing the applicable regulatory 
citations, referred to 33 CFR parts 104 (vessels) and 105 (facilities), 
but failed to refer to 33 CFR part 106 (outer continental shelf 
facilities). To avoid any confusion that may have resulted from the 
inadvertent omission of 33 CFR part 106 from the footnote, we wish to 
clarify that we are soliciting comments from all parties interested in 
maritime cybersecurity standards, including all parties regulated by 
the Coast Guard under 33 CFR chapter I, subchapter H.

Authority

    This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

    Dated: December 23, 2014.

Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, U.S. Coast Guard.
