46 CFR Part 113

[Docket No. USCG-2020-0075]
RIN 1625-AC66


Update to Electrical Engineering Regulations; Correction

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: In a final rule the Coast Guard published in the Federal 
Register on March 16, 2023, an inadvertent error in an amendatory 
instruction prevented the processing of a change in our regulations. 
This document corrects that error.

DATES: Effective April 26, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about this document 
call or email Raymond Martin, Systems Engineering Division, Coast 
Guard; telephone 202-372-1384, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 16, 2023, the Coast Guard published 
a final rule titled ``Update to Electrical Engineering Regulations'' at 
88 FR 16369. The final rule contained an error in amendatory 
instruction 121 that prevented the correct updating of 46 CFR 113.50-5. 
Amendatory instruction 121 in the final rule said the changes were for 
Sec.  113.50-25, which does not exist. This document corrects that 
error and adopts the intended changes for Sec.  113.50-5.
    We find good cause under provisions in 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make 
this correction effective upon publication because delaying the 
effective date is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. 
Waiting 30 days after publication to correct the error within the final 
rule is unnecessary and contrary to the public's interest in having 
access to accurate and current regulations. The March 16, 2023 final 
rule preamble discussion indicated the changes were for the right 
section, Sec.  113.50-5, but the amendatory instruction was inaccurate.
