Coast Guard, DHS.
Direct final rule; correction.
The United States Coast Guard published a direct final rule in the Federal Register on December 14, 2011 (76 FR 77712) revising regulations for the inspection and certification of seagoing barges to align with the language of the applicable statues. That document inadvertently transposed the titles of two tables in our amendatory instructions. Additionally, the Coast Guard is republishing the vessel inspection tables that rule amends in their entirety, so that the format of the tables is consistent with current Federal Register format requirements.
Effective April 12, 2012.
If you have questions on this rule, call or email Lieutenant Doug Tindall, United States Coast Guard; telephone (202) 372-1411, email Douglas.Tindall@uscg.mil. If you have questions on viewing the docket, call Renee V. Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone (202) 366-9826.
The direct final rule published December 14, 2011 (76 FR 77712) amends row 4, column 4 of Tables 2.01-7(a), 24.05-1(a), 30.01-5(d), 70.05-1(a), 90.05-1(a), and 188.05-1(a) as republished in this correcting amendment. The Coast Guard is republishing the tables so that the format of the tables conforms to current Federal Register requirements. This correcting amendment makes no substantive changes to the tables.
Additionally, this correcting amendment corrects the amendatory instructions of the direct final rule wherein the titles of tables “24.05-1(a)” and “30.01-5(d)” were mistakenly transposed as “24.01-5(a)” and “30.05-1(d)” respectively.
Accordingly, 46 CFR parts 2, 24, 30, 70, 90, and 188 are corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
