Implementation of 21 U.S.C. 862; Denial of Federal Benefits to 
Drug Traffickers and Possessors

AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amends Commission regulations to reflect the 
redesignation of 21 U.S.C. 853a as 21 U.S.C. 862, which was effected by 
Public Law 101-647. No substantive change is involved.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 11, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joseph C. Polking, Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North 
Capitol Street, NW, Room 1046, Washington, D.C. 20573-0001, (202) 523-
5725.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Commission regulations at 46 CFR 502.27 and 
510.12 contain requirements for applicants for admission to practice 
before the Commission and for a freight forwarders license to submit a 
certification regarding non-conviction for drug offenses and 
eligibility for federal benefits. The prescribed certification includes 
a reference to ``21 U.S.C. 853a.'' Subsequent to adoption of these 
rules 21 U.S.C. 853a was redesignated as 21 U.S.C. 862 by Public Law 
101-647, 104 Stat. 4827. This document merely changes the references in 
Commission rules to reflect this redesignation and involves no 
substantive change.
