    Under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, an NPRM 

is generally published in the Federal Register for Coast Guard 

rulemakings. The NPRM normally contains a preamble statement in 

sufficient detail to explain the proposal, its background, basis, and 

purpose, and the various issues involved. It also contains a discussion 

of any comments received in response to prior notices, a citation of 

legal authority for the rule, and the text of the proposed rule.
