As a courtesy to our audience, Maritime Commons will provide a daily compilation of nationally-relevant Federal Register Notices. To provide comments for the public record, follow the Federal Register link for each individual notice. Please note, the Coast Guard cannot respond to comments on these notices outside of the Federal Register.

Each year, the Coast Guard issues technical, organizational and conforming amendments to existing regulations in 33 CFR. These annual “technical amendments” provide the public with more accurate and current regulatory information, but do not change the impact on the public of any Coast Guard regulation. The Coast Guard published its final rule which makes non-substantive technical, organizational and conforming amendments to existing regulations throughout Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

This final rule is effective July 27, 2015.

View the Federal Register final rule for full details and all changes to Title 33 CFR.
