DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Coast Guard
46 CFR Parts 10 and 11
[Docket No. USCG-2006-24371]
RIN 1625-AB02
Consolidation of Merchant Mariner Qualification Credentials;
Corrections
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule, correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published a document in the Federal Register
on March 16, 2009 (74 FR 11196), consolidating regulations concerning
the issuance of merchant mariner credentials. That document contained
several non-substantive errors, including an improperly worded
amendatory instruction. This document corrects those errors.
DATES: This final rule is effective August 6, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,
call Mayte Medina, Coast Guard, telephone 202-372-1406. If you have
questions on viewing the docket, call Renee V. Wright, Program Manager,
Docket Operations, telephone 202-366-9826.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The document published in the Federal
Register on March 16, 2009 (74 FR 11196), contained errors that this
document corrects.
We are making the following corrections in part 10. In Sec.
10.109, we are reinserting three STCW endorsements that were
erroneously left out of the final rule. In Sec. 10.211, the Coast
Guard discussed the date change in the final rule (74 FR 11197).
However, when making the date change, we inadvertently missed this
instance. In Sec. 10.213, the change in the footnote to Table
12.213(c) is a correction to a cross-reference, which the Coast Guard
inadvertently missed when we revised part 10 in the final rule. In
Sec. 10.227, we are correcting a similar cross-reference correction.
In Sec. 10.235, we are making corrections to clarify the language in
that section.
We are making the following corrections in part 11. In Sec.
11.102, we are correcting those sections where material that has been
incorporated by reference may be found in part 11. In Sec. 11.104, we
are removing redundancy by eliminating definitions that already appear
at the beginning of the subchapter in Sec. 10.107. Finally, in the
final rule, the amendatory instruction for Sec. 11.601 incorrectly
referred to paragraphs (a) through (c) (79 FR 11252). We have included
the correct amendatory language here.
None of the above listed corrections are substantive in nature.
