Supplementary Information
Background
This project is part of the President's Regulatory Review Initiative to remove or revise unnecessary government regulations. This project removed numerous obsolete sections from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and eliminated others by consolidating the lifesaving requirements for most U.S. inspected vessels in the new subchapter W in 46 CFR chapter I. Subchapter W also replaced many prescriptive regulations with performance-based alternatives. You can find more detailed background information in the preamble of the final rule published on October 1, 1998 (63 FR 52802), under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulations contain typographical errors that may mislead the reader and need to be corrected.
