Standards; Technical Amendment
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Many of the Coast Guard's regulations incorporate by reference
consensus standards that are developed by organizations other than the
Coast Guard. This final rule updates references to standards developed
by ASTM International, that have been reapproved, without change, since
their incorporation into Coast Guard regulation. This rule does not
address standards that have changed substantively, and it will not have
any substantive impact on the regulated public.
DATES: This rule is effective March 29, 2013. The incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the
Director of the Federal Register on March 29, 2013.

II. Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this final rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment, pursuant to section 4(a) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to
issue a rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the
agency, for good cause, finds that those procedures are
``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' As
discussed in more detail in this final rule, the industry standards
adopted in this rule are merely reapproved editions of the previously
incorporated standards. Reapproving a
[[Page 13244]]
standard is a maintenance activity that confirms to the reader that the
standard in question is not outdated or superseded as of the year of
reapproval. This rule does not change any substantive regulatory
requirements or pose any anticipated costs to the public, and will have
no substantive effect on the public. Because the revisions implemented
by this rule are all non-substantive changes without effect on the
public, the Coast Guard finds that notice and public comment on the
changes is unnecessary, and that good cause therefore exists under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) for forgoing notice and comment procedures.
III. Basis and Purpose
The purpose of this rule is to update references to incorporated
industry standards that have been reapproved, without change, by the
standards organization that developed them. In this rule, we focus on
standards developed by ASTM International (ASTM). We also are
standardizing usage of ASTM's name, which was formerly the American
Society for Testing and Materials, updating the listed contact
information for publishers, and reformatting certain sections for ease
of use.
In updating our references, we ensure that the publications we have
incorporated by reference are reasonably available to the public as
required by 1 CFR part 51. The Coast Guard's authority to revise its
regulations is outlined in 33 CFR 1.05-1, as well as in the authority
citations for each part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
amended by this rule. Incorporation by reference is governed by 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 15 U.S.C. 272 note, and 1 CFR part 51.
IV. Background
A. History of Incorporation by Reference
Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards that are
developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. They may
include specifications for materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices. The Coast Guard has actively participated in the
development of industry standards for the safety of marine equipment at
the International Maritime Organization, the International Organization
for Standardization, ASTM, the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, and other standards development bodies. 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 would otherwise
be impractical.
When appropriate, the Coast Guard incorporates industry standards,
and particularly voluntary consensus standards, into its regulations.
This process, known as incorporation by reference, gives the content of
incorporated standards the same force as regulations published in the
CFR. Incorporation by reference occurs as part of a rulemaking and is
governed by specific rules, which are available at 1 CFR part 51. Under
these rules the Coast Guard may only incorporate a specific edition of
a standard, and that standard must be reasonably available to the class
of persons affected by it. Because standards organizations revise and
replace standards over time, the specific edition incorporated by the
Coast Guard eventually may become outdated, unavailable, or both. This
can lead to conflicts between domestic and international requirements,
or between regulatory requirements and modern best practices.
Therefore, the Coast Guard reviews its incorporations by reference and
updates them if necessary.
B. Reapproved Standards
Standards organizations sometimes ``reapprove'' standards without
modifying them. Reapproving a standard is a maintenance activity that
confirms to the reader that the standard in question is not outdated or
superseded as of the year of reapproval. For example, the standard
known as ASTM A 575-96, ``Standard Specification for Steel Bars,
Carbon, Merchant Quality, M-Grades,'' was originally published in 1996;
when it was reapproved in 2002, it became known as ASTM A 575-96
(Reapproved 2002). It was reapproved again in 2007 as ASTM A 575-96
(Reapproved 2007). The substantive content remains the same as in the
1996 edition.
Because the Coast Guard must incorporate a specific edition,
however, reapproval can cause the Coast Guard's incorporation to become
outdated or confusing even if the substance of the incorporated
standard is unchanged. For example, the Coast Guard incorporated ASTM A
575-96. Although the content of the standard has not changed since the
Coast Guard incorporated it, the current version is ASTM A 575-96
(Reapproved 2007) and the incorporated ASTM A 575-96 has been
superseded. In some cases, superseded standards are no longer readily
available.
This rule updates regulatory references to certain incorporated
ASTM standards that have been reapproved without change. We chose to
focus on ASTM standards in this rule because we had recently verified
that several such standards had been reapproved without change. The
Coast Guard is aware that standards developed by other organizations
may also have been reapproved and may also require updating, and that
some of the Coast Guard's other incorporations may require updating for
other reasons. The Coast Guard intends to address those incorporations
in future publications in the Federal Register. To that end, we
published a request for comments on November 30, 2012, (77 FR 71369) to
solicit public input as to which incorporations by reference require
updating.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the incorporated standards in Table 1 have been reapproved
without change. For that reason, incorporating the most recent versions
does not change the substantive regulatory requirements and will have
no substantive impact on the regulated public.
The Coast Guard is also standardizing usage of the name ``ASTM
International,'' formerly known as the American Society for Testing and
Materials, as well as reformatting the reapproved document titles to
match the capitalization and punctuation used in the most current
publications. These changes are administrative in nature, and will not
affect the regulated public in a substantive manner.
[[Page 13246]]
B. Reformatting Involving Standards Other Than Reapproved ASTM
Standards
Some of the reapproved ASTM standards appear in older sections of
the CFR that did not include paragraph designations. The lack of
paragraph designations makes reading and cross-referencing these
sections more difficult. This rule reformats those sections using the
Office of the Federal Register's preferred paragraph designation
format. The reformatted sections are 46 CFR 32.01-1, 76.01-2, 153.4,
160.077-5, 160.176-4, and 162.027-1. This rule also updates publisher
contact information in these sections when appropriate.
Although these reformatted sections contain incorporated standards
other than reapproved ASTM standards, this rule does not update those
references, incorporate newer versions, or make any other substantive
change to those references. With the exception of the reapproved ASTM
standards discussed above, the content of the reformatted sections
remains the same as it was prior to this rule. Suggestions for updates
to these sections may be submitted to the Coast Guard using the contact
information in ADDRESSES.
C. Removal of 33 CFR 155.140(c)(3)
In developing this rule, the Coast Guard became aware that 33 CFR
155.140(c)(3) indicated standard ASTM F 722-82 was incorporated by
reference in Appendices A and B of 33 CFR part 155. Appendices A and B
do not contain any reference to ASTM F 722-82, however, and subsequent
research determined this reference to be a typographical error. This
rule removes the reference to ASTM F 722-82 from Sec. 155.140. As
there is no regulatory requirement in Part 155 associated with the
standard, the removal can have no substantive impact on the public.
VI. Incorporation by Reference
The Director of the Federal Register has approved the material in
33 CFR 126.5, 127.003, and 154.106; and 46 CFR 32.01-1, 34.01-15,
39.10-5, 54.01-1, 56.01-2, 76.01-2, 95.01-2, 108.101, 153.4, 160.077-5,
160.176-4, 162.027-1, and 193.01-3 for incorporation by reference under
5 U.S.C. 552 and 1 CFR part 51. Copies of the material are available
from the sources listed in these sections.
VII. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or executive orders.
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. This final rule has not been designated 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.
This final rule makes non-substantive changes throughout Titles 33
and 46 of the CFR. As discussed in more detail in Section V (Discussion
of Changes) of this preamble, the industry standards adopted in this
rule are merely reapproved editions of the previously incorporated
standards. Reapproving a standard is a maintenance activity that
confirms to the reader that the standard in question is not outdated or
superseded as of the year of reapproval. Therefore, this rule does not
change any substantive regulatory requirements and will have no
substantive effect on the public. As a result, we expect no additional
cost to the industry. No additional labor or resources would be
required by the regulated public.
We expect this final rule to be beneficial to the public and to the
maritime industry because it will make the Coast Guard's references to
these standards consistent with the current standards available for use
by industry and will ensure that the publications we have incorporated
by reference are reasonably available to the public.
B. Small Entities
This rule is not preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking and,
therefore, is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612). The Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply when the agency for good cause finds that notice and public
procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest.
C. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if the rule 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 does not have implications for federalism.
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 one 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 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.
[[Page 13247]]
H. 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,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
I. 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.
J. 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.
K. 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.
L. Technical Standards
The 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 uses the following 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 (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 falls under
the category of editorial or procedural regulations since it involves
the adoption of voluntary consensus standards already in effect. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.
