Update to Electrical Engineering Regulations; Correction
AGENCY:
Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION:
Final rule; correcting amendment.
SUMMARY:
In a final rule the Coast Guard published in the Federal Register on March 16, 2023, an inadvertent error in an amendatory instruction prevented the processing of a change in our regulations. This document corrects that error.
DATES:
Effective April 26, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On March 16, 2023, the Coast Guard published a final rule titled "Update to Electrical Engineering Regulations" at 88 FR 16369. The final rule contained an error in amendatory instruction 121 that prevented the correct updating of 46 CFR 113.50-5. Amendatory instruction 121 in the final rule said the changes were for §?113.50-25, which does not exist. This document corrects that error and adopts the intended changes for §?113.50-5.
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 March 16, 2023 final rule preamble discussion indicated the changes were for the right section, §?113.50-5, but the amendatory instruction was inaccurate.
