Correction
In the December 18, 2014 edition of the Federal Register , the Coast Guard published a notice titled, "Guidance on Maritime Cybersecurity Standards" (79 FR 75574). In providing background information, the notice contained the following statement: "Coast Guard regulations require certain vessel and facility operators to conduct security assessments, and to develop security plans that address vulnerabilities identified by the security assessment." Mistakenly, the footnote at the end of that statement, referencing the applicable regulatory citations, referred to 33 CFR parts 104 (vessels) and 105 (facilities), but failed to refer to 33 CFR part 106 (outer continental shelf facilities). To avoid any confusion that may have resulted from the inadvertentomission of 33 CFR part 106 from the footnote, we wish to clarify that we are soliciting comments from all parties interested in maritime cybersecurity standards, including all parties regulated by the Coast Guard under 33 CFR chapter I, subchapter H.
Authority
This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
