II. Regulatory History

This rule is subject to several exceptions from the regulatory procedure requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553. Before issuing this rule, the Coast Guard did not provide a notice of proposed rulemaking, because it is not required to do so because this rule involves rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice.\1\ Moreover, notice and comment is unnecessary because the rule does not change the impact on the public of any Coast Guard regulation, but only makes non-substantive organizational and conforming amendments. For that reason, the Coast Guard finds it has good cause to issue this rule without first giving the public an opportunity to comment,\2\ and to make the rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.\3\

\2\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

\3\ 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

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

III. Basis and Purpose

The legal basis of this rule is found in 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 553; 14 U.S.C. 2(3) and 631-633; 33 U.S.C. 471 and 499; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

The purpose of this rule is to provide the public with more accurate and current regulatory information by making technical, organizational, and conforming amendments to existing regulations throughout Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (33 CFR). This rule does not change the impact on the public of any Coast Guard regulation.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

Each year, the Coast Guard issues technical, organizational, and conforming amendments to existing regulations in 33 CFR. These annual ``technical amendments'' provide the public with more accurate and current regulatory information, but do not change the impact on the public of any Coast Guard regulation.

The rule makes changes in the following sections of 33 CFR:

Sections 3.35-1, 3.35-35, 3.40-1(b), 3.40-10: Shift several Seventh and Eighth Coast Guard District boundaries so that they coincide with existing county political boundaries.

Part 50 authority line: Change from ``Sec. 8, 18 Stat. 127, as amended, sec. 302, 58 Stat. 287, as amended; 14 U.S.C. 92, 38 U.S.C. 693i'' to ``Sec. 10 U.S.C. 1554; 14 U.S.C. 92, 633; Department of Homeland Security Delegations No. 0160.1(II)(B)(1), 0170.1(II)(23)'' to conform to obsolete statutory references to current equivalents. Specifically, 18 Stat. 127 was superseded by 14 U.S.C. 92 and 633 in 1949. Section 302 of 58 Stat. 287 was codified at 38 U.S.C. 693i; that section was later re-enacted as 10 U.S.C. 1553 and 1554 in Public Law 85-857 in 1958.

Sections 50.1, 50.3, 50.5, 50.6: Change ``officer'' to ``member or former member'' to reflect change to 10 U.S.C. 1554 authorization for Retiring Review Board.

Part 51 authority line: Change from ``10 U.S.C. 1553; Pub. L. 107-

296, 116 Stat. 2135'' to ``10 U.S.C. 1553; 14

Page 44275

U.S.C. 92, 633; Department of Homeland Security Delegations No. 0160.1 II(B)(1), 0170.1(II)(23),'' to omit public law that confers no rulemaking authority and to add 14 U.S.C. 92, which does confer that authority.

Part 52 authority line: Add the Secretary's regulatory authority under 14 U.S.C. 92 and 633.

Section 62.21(c): Reflect discontinuation of print publication of Light List, United States Coast Pilot, Local Notices to Mariners, and Notice to Mariners, in favor of electronic-only publication.

Section 67.10-25(a): Update Coast Guard address information.

Sections 72.01-5, 72.01-25(c), 72.01-40, 72.05-1(a), 72.05-5, 72.05-10: Reflect discontinuation of print publication of Local Notices to Mariners, Notice to Mariners, in favor of electronic-only publication, and indicate in Sec. 72.05-1 that Volume V of the Light List is now published annually rather than biennially.

Sections 80.155, 80.160, 80.165: Add geographical coordinates to the physical description of demarcation lines already in the regulations. The location of the demarcation lines is not affected.

Sections 80.170, 80.501, 80.502: Redesignate sections to indicate that the area from Sandy Hook to Toms River, NJ, is within the Fifth, and not the First, Coast Guard District geographical area of responsibility (First District sections are designated Sec. 80.101 et seq., while Fifth District sections are designated Sec. 80.501 et seq.), and make wording changes to conform to Fifth District practice.

Section 80.748(f): Change ``shoreland'' to ``shoreline'' to make consistent with Coast Guard terminology.

Section 82.5: Change ``33 CFR 88.13'' to ``33 CFR 83.30(h)-(1)'' to conform to regulatory redesignation by 2014 final rule (79 FR 37898; Jul. 2, 2014).

Section 83.09, 83.19(d), 83.24(h), 83.29(a)(iii), 83.34(d), 83.37: Minor rewordings and terminology revisions to conform to International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS).

Section 84.02(f)(ii): Change ``Sec. 84.03(d)'' to ``Sec. 84.03(c),'' the correct location of the cited requirements, which concern situations when two all-round masthead lights are required. Two all-round masthead lights are discussed in Sec. 84.03(c) and not Sec. 84.03(d), which only pertains to vessels with one masthead light.

Section 90.5: Change ``33 CFR 88.13'' to ``33 CFR 83.30(h) through (1)'' to conform to regulatory redesignation.

Part 96 authority line: Delete references to obsolete Department of Transportation delegations of regulatory authority.

Section 100.1104, 100.1105: Reflect discontinuation of print publication of Local Notices to Mariners, in favor of electronic-only publication.

Section 101.514(e): Remove paragraph that is obsolete because it incorporated a self-termination date of April 15, 2009.

Section 110.215(b)(3): Change ``33 CFR 204.195'' to ``33 CFR 334.930'' to correct cross-reference.

Sections 117.591(e), 117.605(b), (c), 117.647(a), 117.855(c): Reflect change in bridge owner.

Section 117.1081: Update telephone number.

Section 150.940: Remove and redesignate material as the referenced deepwater port is no longer in existence.

Section 151.1512: Change ``In order to'' to ``To''; ``U.S. waters'' to ``waters of the United States'' to conform to Coast Guard terminology; and in paragraph (b), in the phrase ``approved alternative ballast water management method per Sec. 151.1510(a)(1) and (4),'' remove ``alternative.'' Sections 1510(a) and 1512 (a) make it clear that Sec. 1510(a)(1) and (a)(4) are among the options provided by Sec. 1510(a), only one of which is to be selected by a vessel's master.

Section 151.2035(a): Change the permitted alternative ``to ballast with water from a U.S. public water system'' to ``ballast exclusively with water from a U.S. public water system,'' for clarification. This is a non-substantive, clarifying change because Sec. 151.2025(a)(2) requires that the use of water from a U.S. public water system be exclusive.

Section 151.2036: Change ``that despite all efforts to meet the ballast water discharge standard requirements in Sec. 151.2030 of this subpart, compliance is not possible'' to ``that, despite all efforts, compliance with the requirement under Sec. 151.2025 is not possible''. The change corrects the cross-reference, and reflects the fact that under existing regulations the master, owner, operator, agent, or person in charge of a vessel has several ballast water management methods by which he may achieve compliance with the ballast water discharge standard set forth in 33 CFR 151.2030.

Section 155.480(b)(2): Revise internal cross-references to conform to regulatory redesignations made by a 2013 rule (78 FR 42642, Jul. 16, 2013), which did not affect the meaning of the cross-references.

Section 156.330(b): Change name of referenced publication to conform to name approved for incorporation by reference in 33 CFR 156.111.

Section 161.18(a): In table, remove and add punctuation for grammatical reasons.

Section 161.60(c): Specify that a latitude coordinate refers to north latitude.

Section 162.65(b), 162.75(b): Substitute ``Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR Subchapter E)'' for references to Coast Guard Commandant Instruction Manual COMDTINST M16672.2D. The Manual reiterated the language of international navigational safety regulations (COLREGS) \4\ and the Inland Navigation Rules without change. It has been canceled in favor of referencing, in our regulations, the relevant international or inland rules. For Sec. Sec. 162.65(b), 162.75(b), the Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR Subchapter E) provide the relevant rules.

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

\4\ Note on COLREGS: Several amendments to parts 162 and 165 refer to the COLREGS (The Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, adopted by the forerunner to the International Maritime Organization in 1972 and replacing a 1960 edition). The COLREGS (including its rules and annexes) were incorporated into U.S. law and entered into force in the U.S. on July 15, 1977, as proclaimed by the President in accordance with the International Navigational Rules Act of 1977, 33 U.S.C. 1602 (Pub. L. 95-75, Jul. 27, 1977, 91 Stat. 308). In accordance with Sec. 33 U.S.C. 1602(c), the President is also authorized to proclaim any amendments to the COLREGS. The text of the amendment, with its effective date as proclaimed by the President, is then published in the Federal Register. On its effective date, the amendment enters into force in the U.S. and has effect as if enacted by statute.

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

Section 162.90(b)(6): Remove ``the Pilot Rules for Inland Waters'' and substitute reference to Inland Navigation Rules, which now include the pilot rules.

Section 164.03(e)(3): Remove an obsolete ``incorporation by reference'' document.

Section 164.33(c), 164.72(b)(2)(ii)(B): Change ``National Imagery and Mapping Agency'' to its new agency name of ``National Geospatial-

Intelligence Agency''.

Section 165.T01-0174(c)(9), 165.T01-0214(b)(6), 165.T01-0215(b)(5), 165.T01-0329(b)(7), 165.T01-0554(b)(5), 165.T01-0824(b)(7), 165.T01-

0876(c)(7): Change ``Rules of the Road (33 CFR part 84--Subchapter E, inland navigational rules)'' to ``Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR subchapter E)'' to correct current reference.

Section 165.T01-1059(c)(1): Change ``Navigation Rules'' to ``Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR subchapter E)'' to correct current reference.

V. Regulatory Analyses

We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on these statutes or E.O.s.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

Executive Orders 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and 13563 (``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. The provisions of this final rule are technical and non-substantive; they will have no substantive effect on the public and will impose no additional costs. This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of E.O. 12866 as supplemented by E.O. 13563, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of E.O. 12866. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not reviewed it under E.O. 12866.

B. Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), rules exempt from the notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act are not required to examine the impact of the rule on small entities. Nevertheless, we have considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.

There is no cost to this final rule, and we do not expect it to have an impact on small entities because the provisions of this rule are technical and non-substantive. It will have no substantive

Page 44277

effect on the public and will impose no additional costs. Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

C. Assistance for Small Entities

Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please consult Mr. Paul Crissy by phone at 202-

372-1093 or via email at Paul.H.Crissy@uscg.mil. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247).

D. Collection of Information

This rule calls for no new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

E. Federalism

A rule has implications for federalism under E.O. 13132 (``Federalism'') if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this rule under that order and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in E.O. 13132.

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any 1 year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

G. Taking of Private Property

This final rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under E.O. 12630 (``Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights'').

H. Civil Justice Reform

This final rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of E.O. 12988 (``Civil Justice Reform''), to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

I. Protection of Children

We have analyzed this final rule under E.O. 13045 (``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks''). This final rule is not an economically significant rule and would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might disproportionately affect children.

J. Indian Tribal Governments

This final rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 13175 (``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''), because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

K. Energy Effects

We have analyzed this final rule under E.O. 13211 (``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use''). We have determined that it is not a ``significant energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under E.O. 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under E.O. 13211.

L. Technical Standards

The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (15 U.S.C. 272 Note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the OMB, with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies.

This final rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

M. Environment

We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2 and figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(a) and (b) of the Instruction. This final rule involves regulations that are editorial or procedural, or that concern internal agency functions or organizations. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in the docket for this final rule where indicated under ADDRESSES.
