ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: Final rule USCG-2006-24520, related to the Coast Guard's 
organization for marine safety functions, as affected by a change in 
the operational and administrative control of Activities Europe, was 
published in the Federal Register of June 22, 2006 (71 FR 35816). That 
final rule document contained an error that unintentionally resulted in 
the removal of several paragraphs of text in the Code of Federal 
Regulations. This final rule corrects that omission.

DATES: Effective on October 12, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule, 
call Mr. D. Skewes, Coast Guard, telephone 202-267-0418 or e-mail 
DSkewes@comdt.uscg.mil. If you have questions on viewing the docket, 

call Renee V. Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard published a document in the 
Federal Register of June 22, 2006 (71 FR 35816) amending, among other 
sections, 46 CFR 1.01-15 (a). The amendment inadvertently deleted 
paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2), concerning the activities of Marine 
Safety and Boating Safety Divisions. This correction restores the 
inadvertently deleted paragraphs.
