I. Regulatory History
We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
rule. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A) the Coast Guard finds this rule is
exempt from notice and comment rulemaking requirements because these
changes involve rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice.
In addition, the Coast Guard finds notice and comment procedures are
unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as this rule consists only of
corrections and editorial, organizational, and conforming amendments
and these changes will have no substantive effect on the public. Under
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that, for the same reasons,
good cause exists for making this rule effective upon publication in
the Federal Register.
II. Background
Each year, the printed edition of Title 33 of the Code of Federal
Regulations is recodified on July 1. This rule, which becomes effective
June 2, 2011, makes technical and editorial corrections throughout
Title 33. This rule does not create any substantive requirements.
III. Basis and Purpose
This rule amends 33 CFR part 1 to reflect changes in agency
organization by removing Sec. 1.01-60(a)(1)(ii) and combining Sec.
1.01-60(a)(1)(i) with Sec. 1.01-60(a)(1). Because the Coast Guard is
no longer a component of the Department of Transportation (DOT), DOT
Order 5610.1C (Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts) no
longer applies.
This rule revises 33 CFR part 27. The Coast Guard is adjusting
fines and other civil monetary penalties to reflect the impact of
inflation. These adjustments are made in accordance with the Federal
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the
Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, and implement the provisions
of these statutes. These statutes require the Coast Guard to
periodically adjust the civil monetary penalties for inflation by a
method that is specifically prescribed within these statutes and which
allows no discretion. The statutory method specifies the inflation
measure to be used, the method for the calculation of the inflation
adjustment, and the method for the numerical rounding of the results.
The last inflation adjustments were made in 2010.
The changes in Civil Penalties for calendar year 2011 are based on
the change in CPI-U from June 2009 to June 2010. The recorded change in
CPI-U during that period was 1.05%. Because of the small change in CPI-
U and the required rules for rounding, there was no change to any of
the maximum penalty amounts from the previous adjustment.
This rule amends Sec. 115.05 by replacing the term ``builder''
with the term ``applicant'' to clarify the Coast Guard's intent and
make the affected provision consistent with other provisions in this
section and other sections of part 115. This rule also corrects
grammatical errors and details established requirements regarding the
information needed on the plan sheets that accompany a bridge permit
request. This rule removes Sec. 115.50(d) because the information it
provides is already explained throughout the section.
This rule amends 33 CFR part 117 to correct the names of the S14
Bridge and the S1 Bridge and to provide an updated phone number to the
Kansas City Southern automated bridge. Also ``Pelican Island Causeway''
is removed from the title of Sec. 117.977 and the section is
redesignated to follow the alphabetical order of state waterways set
out in this subpart.
This rule amends parts 135, 140, 148, and 150 of Title 33 with an
organizational name change from the Minerals Management Service (MMS)
to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Regulation and Enforcement
(BOEMRE).
This rule amends paragraph 161.15(a) to correct a typographical
error that erroneously omitted the words ``within a''. The correction
to the section is not substantive and does not impose any new
requirement, but clarifies the meaning of this portion of part 161.
This rule amends 33 CFR part 164 to remove LORAN C from the list of
options for vessel electronic position fixing devices. Removing LORAN C
from 33 CFR part 164 will have no substantive effect on the public
because the use of LORAN C has not been supported by the Coast Guard
since February 2010, and this section is no longer applicable.
[[Page 31832]]
This rule amends Title 33 to correct latitude/longitude coordinates
of the Galveston Entrance Anchorage Areas in part 166 and the
Chesapeake Bay: Eastern approach in part 167.
This rule amends Title 33 to update internal Coast Guard office
designations as well as certain personnel titles. Changes in personnel
titles included in this rule are only technical revisions reflecting
changes in agency procedure and organization, and do not indicate new
authorities.
This rule amends Title 33 to update various physical addresses for
Coast Guard offices as well as those offices' contact information.
Finally, this rule corrects non-substantive, typographical errors
throughout Title 33.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. Because this rule involves non-
substantive changes and internal agency practices and procedures, it
will not impose any additional costs on the public.
B. Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), 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.
We estimate that the cost of this rule is minimal and should have
little or no impact on small entities because the provisions of this
rule are technical and non-substantive, and will have no substantive
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. 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).
D. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.
E. 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 one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
F. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
G. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminates ambiguity, and reduces burden.
H. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
I. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have Tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does 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.
J. Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 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 Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the 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 Executive Order 13211.
K. Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, 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 rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
L. 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 (NEPA) (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,
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(a) of the Instruction. This rule involves
regulations which are editorial, procedural, such as those updating
addresses or establishing application procedures. An environmental
analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The changes in Civil Penalties for calendar year 2011, shown
above, are based on the change in CPI-U from June 2009 to June 2010.
The recorded change in CPI-U during that period was 1.05%. Because of
the small change in CPI-U and the required rules for rounding, there
was no change to any of the maximum penalty amounts from the previous
adjustment.
(1) Enacted under the Tariff Act of 1930, exempt from inflation
adjustments.
(2) These penalties increased in accordance with the statute to $10,000
in 2005, $15,000 in 2006, $20,000 in 2007, and $25,000 in 2008 and
thereafter.
