BILLING CODE 4510-CM-P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 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 *Stephanie.M.Groleau@uscg.mil.* 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 § 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.
