[Docket No. USCG-2013-0423]
RIN 1625-AB94
2013 Liquid Chemical Categorization Updates
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Interim rule; delay of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces an additional two-year delay of the
effective date of its 2013 interim rule, which updates and revises
tables that list liquid hazardous materials, liquefied gases, and
compressed gases that have been approved by the Coast Guard and the
International Maritime Organization for maritime transportation in
bulk.
[[Page 68132]]
These tables also indicate how the pollution potential of each
substance has been categorized. The Coast Guard received comments to
our 2013 interim rule regarding technical errors in the revised tables
and is working to correct those errors. The additional delay will allow
the Coast Guard to complete its work to correct technical errors and
solicit additional comments in a supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking, prior to finalizing the rule. This rulemaking promotes the
Coast Guard's maritime safety and stewardship missions.
DATES: The effective date of the interim final rule published at 78 FR
50147 (Aug. 16, 2013), delayed until January 16, 2014, at 78 FR 56837
(Sept. 16, 2013), and further delayed until January 16, 2015, at 79 FR
2106 (Jan. 13, 2014), is further delayed until January 16, 2017.
