33 CFR Part 165
[CGD01-04-133]
RIN 1625-AB17
Regulated Navigation Area; Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts; Navigable
Waterways Within the First Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is making a technical correction to a Final
Rule published in the Federal Register on December 13, 2007. (72 FR
70780.) The Final Rule titled ``Regulated Navigation Area; Buzzards
Bay, Massachusetts; Navigable Waterways within the First Coast Guard
District'' contained an inaccurate amendatory instruction to revise an
imprecise and potentially confusing cross references regarding the
applicability of certain regulations implemented by the rule. The
revised amendatory instruction provided in this correction is intended
to implement the revision to Part 165 found in 72 FR 70780.
DATES: This correction is effective as of December 27, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public concerning
this correction will be made part of the docket for the underlying rule
and will be available for inspection and copying at the offices of
Commander, Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England, East Providence
Office, 20 Risho Avenue, East Providence, RI 02914, between 8 a.m. and
3 p.m. Monday through Friday, except federal holidays.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Edward G. LeBlanc at Coast Guard
Sector Southeastern New England, East Providence, RI, 401-435-2351.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 13, 2008, the Coast Guard published a Final Rule titled
``Regulated Navigation Area; Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts; Navigable
Waterways within the First Coast Guard District'' to correct an
existing Regulated Navigation Area (RNA) within the waters of the First
Coast Guard District. (72 FR 70780). Specifically, the Final Rule
corrected erroneous references to ``Subpart B of this chapter'' and
``Subpart B of this part'' in Part 161 and Part 165, respectively. The
references should have instead referred to ``Subpart B of Part 161'' in
the revisions of both Part 161 and Part 165. The correction to Part 161
has been made. However, the reference in Part 165 was not made due to
an inaccurate amendatory instruction. The substantive requirements of
the rule are not altered by this technical correction.
Need for Correction
The Final Rule published on December 13, 2007 amended Parts 161 and
165 of Title 33 of the Code of Regulations. (72 FR 70780.) As explained
in the preamble, the Final Rule revised a previously published
erroneous reference to ``Subpart B of this chapter'' and ``Subpart B of
this part'' in Part 161 and Part 165, respectively, instead of
referring to ``Subpart B of Part 161'' in the revisions of both Part
161 and Part 165. The amendatory instruction for the Part 165
correction erroneously directed the deletion of 33 CFR
165.100(d)(5)(iv)(A)-(B) instead of only correcting the introductory
text of 33 CFR 165.100(d)(5)(iv). This Final Rule corrects amendatory
instruction 4 to revise the introductory text of 33 CFR
165.100(d)(5)(iv) without deleting subparagraphs (A) and (B), which was
the intent of the December 13, 2007 Final Rule.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, and Waterways.

For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33
CFR part 165 as follows:
PART 165--WATERWAYS SAFETY; REGULATED NAVIGATION AREAS AND LIMITED
ACCESS AREAS
In the December 13, 2007 Federal Register, page 70780, amendatory
instruction 4 is corrected to read as follows:
``4. In Sec. 165.100, revise (d)(5)(iv) introductory text to read
as follows:''
Dated: December 17, 2007.
Steve Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, U.S. Coast Guard.
