46 CFR Part 169

[Docket No. USCG-2020-0107]
RIN 1625-AC51


Survival Craft Equipment-Update To Type Approval Requirements; 
Correction

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is correcting a final rule published in the 
Federal Register on November 14, 2022. The final rule updated type 
approval requirements for certain types of survival craft equipment. 
The final rule had a typographical error in one of the sections. This 
document corrects that error.

DATES: Effective August 4, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about this document 
call or email Ms. Stephanie Groleau, Lifesaving & Fire Safety Division 
(CG-ENG-4), Coast Guard; telephone 202-372-1381, email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 14, 2022, the Coast Guard 
published a final rule titled ``Survival Craft Equipment-Update to Type 
Approval Requirements'' at 87 FR 68270. The final rule updated type 
approval requirements for certain types of survival craft equipment, 
including hatchets. The final rule contained a spelling error in the 
regulatory text of 46 CFR 169.527(c)(4) where ``Hatch'' was used 
instead of ``Hatchet''. This document corrects that error and adopts 
the correct spelling for Sec.  169.527(c)(4).
    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 November 14, 2022, 
final rule preamble discussion indicated the changes were intended for 
hatchets, but the spelling was inaccurate.

List of Subjects in 46 CFR Part 169
