Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, and Changes to
National Endorsements''. This document corrects two amended CFR
sections that are causing inconsistencies in interpretation.
DATES: This correction is effective on September 17, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard is correcting a final rule
that appeared in the Federal Register of December 24, 2013 (78 FR
77796), entitled ``Implementation of the Amendments to the
International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and
Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, and Changes to National
Endorsements''. Amendments to 46 CFR 11.705 and 11.711 published in the
final rule require correction. The Coast Guard has determined that
these changes were a result of an oversight in drafting and are causing
inconsistencies in the interpretation of the application of the
requirement. This correction will ensure the two sections revert back
to the language that was in place before the final rule went into
effect.
