Program (PREP) Guidelines; Correction

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 2, 2018, the Coast Guard published a notice of 
availability of the 2016.1 PREP Guidelines. In the DATES section of the 
Notice of availability, the effective date of the 2016.1 PREP 
Guidelines is October 1, 2018. However, in Section 1.3, page 1-2, of 
the 2016.1 PREP Guidelines, the effective date is ``60 days after the 
date of publication in the Federal Register.'' The Coast Guard has 
corrected Section 1.3 of the 2016.1 PREP Guidelines to reflect the 
effective date is ``October 1, 2018.'' A corrected version of the 
2016.1 PREP Guidelines has been uploaded to the USCG Homeport site at 
the following link: https://homeport.uscg.mil/missions/incident-management-and-preparedness/contingency-exercises/port-level-exercises/port-level-exercises-general-information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jonathan Smith, Office of Marine 
Environmental Response Policy, U.S. Coast Guard, 202-372-2675.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On page 1-2 of the 2016.1 PREP Guidelines, 
in Section 1.3, the ``Effective Date'' is corrected to read: ``The 
2016.1 PREP Guidelines are effective on October 1, 2018. The PREP 
Guidelines follow the calendar year (January 1-December 31).'' A 
corrected version of the 2016.1 PREP Guidelines has been uploaded to 
the Coast Guard Homeport site and can be accessed at https://homeport.uscg.mil/missions/incident-management-and-preparedness/contingency-exercises/port-level-exercises/port-level-exercises-general-information.
