SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    This project is part of the President's Regulatory Review 
Initiative to remove or revise unnecessary government regulations. This 
project removed numerous obsolete sections from the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) and eliminated others by consolidating the lifesaving 
requirements for most U.S. inspected vessels in the new subchapter W in 
46 CFR chapter I. Subchapter W also replaced many prescriptive 
regulations with performance-based alternatives.
    You can find more detailed background information in the preamble 
of the final rule published on October 1, 1998 (63 FR 52802), under 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain typographical errors 
that may mislead the reader and need to be corrected.
